Planners consent to more than 130 new homes

Harrogate planners have given a new Redrow development of 133 homes the green light.

Located off Kingsley Road, the venture will be named Kingsley Manor and comprise 88 new homes for private sale, in a mix of two, three and four-bedroom designs, alongside 58 affordable homes.

The developer will build a mix of detached, semi-detached and mews style homes. As part of the scheme there will also be two open spaces, which will each feature play areas.

The home builder will make significant contributions to the local community as part of the planning agreement, including more than £540,000 towards local education, £190,000 towards open space provision, £44,600 towards traffic signals and £5,000 for a local travel plan.

John Handley, managing director for Redrow (Yorkshire), said: “Our long-awaited Kingsley Manor development is set to meet strong demand in this area for high quality new homes with character.

“As part of Redrow’s commitment to offer our homeowners a better way to live, we will provide areas of green space within the site for formal and informal play, ensuring new residents can access natural areas on their doorstep.

“We are also providing footpaths and cycle links to neighbouring developments, local facilities and into the town centre.”

The first homes are due to go on sale in early autumn.
