According to the council’s map of sites which have been submitted for consideration in the Local Plan, the land at the former Flaxby golf course has been put forward for both housing and commercial purposes.
The site was subject to High Court legal proceedings in October 2020.
At the time, the developers, Flaxby Park Ltd, took the former Harrogate Borough Council to a judicial review when the authority opted to pick a site in Green Hammerton over Flaxby Park for a new settlement.
Following the hearing, Mr Justice Holgate ruled in the council’s favour by saying it did not have to make the decision over a new settlement again.
But he ordered the council to pay 15% of Flaxby’s legal costs because it failed to adequately consider an environmental assessment of alternative locations for the settlement.
