Harrogate and the wider North Yorkshire area has a growing need for new homes, especially affordable ones, and this is especially so with Government housing targets for the area being dramatically increased.
The proposals for Penny Pot Lane include:
Up to 320 plots including affordable, with 1-5 bedroom homes – suitable for growing families, single occupants, downsizers, and older people.
A new flexible building space which could be marked for many uses, with feedback appreciated on how this can best benefit the community.
Main site accesses via Penny Pot Lane and Oaker Bank, with opportunity to encourage sustainable travel / active travel.
Significant areas of public open green space, pocket parks, play spaces including an equipped children’s play area, as well as park run routes and trim trails.
A new community orchard with picnic benches and a variety of fruit trees, creating a space to gather and enjoy.
Tree lined roads and green corridors throughout, including along Oaker Bank and Penny Pot Lane to help shield views.
Over 17 hectares of undeveloped land to provide a green wedge towards Oak Beck.
A net gain in biodiversity on the site
