The village is mainly situated around the main A19 road with the addition of a small housing estate built in the mid 1960s to the west of the main road.To the east of the A19 is Burn Airfield, built in 1942 as a bomber base in World War II. The airfield is now used by Burn Gliding Club, but may in the future be developed as the site of the European Spallation Source (ESS), a particle accelerator facility to generate neutrons by spallation. Outline planning permission for the ESS was conditionally granted by Selby District Council on 14 September, 2005.
