Development of the former Harrogate Police College, Yew Tree Lane.
Due to postal issues with some of the leaflets, we have re-posted to several local residents who did not receive a leaflet in the first instance and extended the consultation deadline to the 9th of March.
This site was given a resolution to grant outline planning consent for up to 200 homes by the Harrogate Planning Committee in December 2021. The next step is to submit an application which includes all matters reserved from the outline consent, such as the detailed design of the site. We would like to provide the local community with details of our proposals and an opportunity to ask questions and/or provide feedback before we submit our planning application.
While the COVID-19 restrictions have been removed, we recognise the continued risks posed. While we always favour face to face conversations, we want to help keep people safe and have therefore decided that an online consultation is best.
Once you have reviewed the information, we would be pleased to hear your feedback or answer any questions you might have using the dedicated online feedback form or email address provided.
We hope you find the information helpful and we look forward to hearing from you.
Countryside have been working closely with Homes England - the non-departmental public body that funds new affordable housing in England- to create detailed proposals for the site which will deliver the best possible housing development, with benefits and amenities for current and future residents.
The new proposals include 200 new homes, including the conversion of the 3 existing buildings on site into apartments. 60 of these new homes will be available through affordable housing schemes. The development will also bring forward;
This application is for reserved matters, meaning the principle of housing has already been agreed. We are seeking your opinion on the detailed design of the site and the proposed houses at this stage.
