Housebuilders announce next stage for Harrogate housing development located near golf club
Outline planning submission has been submitted for a new housing development of approximately 320 homes off Penny Pot Lane in Harrogate.
Described as a “mobility hub to promote sustainable travel”, the proposed development by Taylor Wimpey would provide a variety of new homes ranging from one- to five-bedroom homes with 40% affordable homes included and significant green open space.
The national housebuilder held a public consultation last September to seek the views of local residents over its plans for an area of land near Oakdale Golf Club.
Taylor Wimpey say the feedback reinforced its decision to include open green spaces on-site, including a fully equipped children’s play area.
The consultation activity included meetings with Harrogate Town Council and Killinghall Parish Council.
James Smith, Taylor Wimpey’s Strategic Land & Planning Director, said: “We are pleased to reach this milestone as we aim to deliver a sustainable mix of much-needed new homes to help with Harrogate’s chronic lack of housing.
"With many young people struggling to gain a foot on the housing ladder, as well as growing families and downsizers lacking high quality options, we believe this proposal off Penny Pot Lane would have significant benefits locally.
“We have carefully designed the green open spaces and included a mobility hub to promote sustainable travel. We look forward to further discussions with the community and stakeholders as the plans develop.”
An Outline Planning Application has been submitted to North Yorkshire Council for determination.
The planning reference is: 25/04264.
