Construction Trends in Harrogate
West Harrogate is the district's biggest strategic growth area, a new urban extension on the town's western edge planned for around 2,500 homes, two new primary schools, and local centres, with infrastructure planning for schools and junctions now underway. Nearby, Maltkiln, a new settlement of about 3,000 homes, has had its development plan passed by the planning inspector. Bellway has applied for around 120 homes west of Ripon Road in Killinghall, while Castle Hill West in Pannal Ash has approval for 224 homes, 40 percent of them affordable. Away from these strategic sites, Knaresborough and Ripon keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions on established housing.
