It was announced at a full Council meeting that the applicants, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC), has now withdrawn these homes from the application, following concerns from local residents made during the consultation process.
The Development Brief, which includes an education campus, a new business park, hotels and restaurants and a welcome centre with a museum, was approved in principle by South Northamptonshire Council earlier this year.

However, BRDC needed to show that they could only fund their plans for a new pit and paddock complex though an 'enabling' development of new homes in Silverstone village.
Knight Frank, the consultants the Council was using, will no longer be working on the enablement case as the houses have been withdrawn. Plans for the pit and paddock will be phased.
Councillor Sandra Barnes, Leader of the Council, said: "We have worked closely with BRDC and Aylesbury Vale District Council on these plans for a long time. The Development Brief is an important document that will be used in conjunction with our planning policies to guide any development at the circuit."
The Council will continue to liaise with officers from Aylesbury Vale District Council, BRDC and other partners to finalise the Development Brief.
