Taylor Wimpey submits plans for 320 homes off Penny Pot Lane

Wednesday, 7 January 2026 07:13

An illustrated masterplan of Taylor Wimpey's proposals.

Plans for a new residential development off Penny Pot Lane in Harrogate have been submitted to North Yorkshire Council following community consultation.

Taylor Wimpey has submitted an Outline Planning Application for approximately 320 new homes, a mobility hub to promote sustainable travel and 'significant green open space.'

The proposed development will provide a variety of new homes ranging from one to five-bedroom homes with 40% affordable homes included.

The national housebuilder said it gathered feedback from the local community which has 'helped inform the planning submission.'

Feedback has reinforced the inclusion of open green spaces on-site including a new equipped children’s play area.

The consultation activity included meetings with Harrogate Town Council and Killinghall Parish Council.

James Smith, Strategic Land & Planning Director at Taylor Wimpey, said:

“We are pleased to reach this milestone as we aim to deliver a sustainable mix of much-needed new homes to help with Harrogate’s chronic lack of new homes.

“With many young people struggling to gain a foot on the housing ladder, as well as growing families and down-sizers lacking high quality options, we believe this proposal off Penny Pot Lane would have significant benefits locally.

“We have carefully designed the green open spaces and included a mobility hub to promote sustainable travel. We look forward to further discussions with the community and stakeholders as the plans develop.”

An Outline Planning Application has been submitted to North Yorkshire Council for determination. The planning reference is: 25/04264.
