Homes England<\/a> has acquired two new sites in Harrogate, unlocking land for over 800 new homes, with room for 40% affordable homes<\/h2>\n

The Harrogate developments will offer an opportunity to bring forward housing in an area with high affordability pressures and will help meet local housing need.<\/p>\n

The West Lane 23 ha site in Ripon has outline planning consent<\/a> for 390 new homes which will include 156 affordable homes.<\/p>\n

It was allocated in the adopted Local Plan in March 2020.<\/p>\n

The 28 ha Bluecoat Park site in Harrogate is also allocated in the local plan<\/a>. It currently has an outline planning permission for 450 new homes which is due to expire this month and Homes England intends to submit a new planning application later this year.<\/p>\n

Both sites have stalled for various reasons, including the associated enabling costs and planning permissions which are due to lapse imminently.<\/p>\n

Following the planning submission in September for the redevelopment of Ripon Barracks for up to 1,300 homes as well as local infrastructure<\/a> including a primary school, sports pitches, a dedicated employment zone and local retail facilities.<\/p>\n

Homes England will continue to work with the local authority as well as other local stakeholders on its plans for both sites over the coming months.<\/p>\n

On a mission<\/h3>\n

Housing minister, Christopher Pincher, said: \u201cThis is fantastic news for Harrogate and a realisation of this Government\u2019s mission to deliver quality, affordable homes, that are fit for future generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to seeing the plans these communities develop take shape over the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trevor Watson, director of economy and culture, Harrogate Borough Council<\/a>, said: \u201cWe welcome Homes England\u2019s involvement in seeking to bring forward and unlock these stalled sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are important in helping to deliver our strategic objective to provide new homes that meet the needs of the district.\u201d<\/p>\n
