Harrogate housing development set for expansion

Wednesday, 15 July 2026 07:04

Newett Homes is set to extend its development on Otley Road.

Nine new homes are set to be built in Harrogate after Newett Homes acquired land to extend its sold-out The Pastures development.

The Yorkshire housebuilder has purchased a 1.5-acre plot on Otley Road, where it plans to build a boutique development of nine energy-efficient homes.

The £5 million scheme will feature a mix of three, four and five-bedroom properties on the south-west edge of the town.

All homes will include solar panels and electric vehicle charging points as standard, while the developer will also contribute £65,000 towards community and local infrastructure as part of its planning obligations.

Will Newett, Chief Executive of Newett Homes, said:

"Harrogate continues to see strong demand for high-quality family homes, particularly in established locations where opportunities for new development are increasingly limited.

“The acquisition of this site enables us to build on the success of the first phase of The Pastures and gives us the opportunity to deliver another collection of homes that reflects the expectations of today's buyers.

“As a Yorkshire-based housebuilder, there is always a real sense of pride in delivering new communities within our heartland."

He added:

"Building close to home allows us to draw on our local knowledge and understanding of what buyers in the region are looking for, while continuing to invest in the places where we live and work.

“This is an exclusive opportunity for buyers seeking thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient homes in a well-connected setting and we are looking forward bringing this exclusive development to market."

Construction on the new phase is now underway, with the first homes already released for sale off-plan through William H Brown.

The first residents are expected to move into the development from February 2027, with the scheme due to be completed in May 2027.
