    North Yorkshire County Council plans to build a new care home at the site on Beckwith Head Road in Harrogate. The land was previously earmarked for a mental health unit until plans were dropped in 2019.

    North Yorkshire County Council has completed the £1.8 million purchase of land earmarked for a care home near Cardale Park.

    The three-acre site on Beckwith Head Road in Harrogate was previously owned by Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, which runs mental health services in the district.

    However, the county council has now bought the land in order to progress a “scheme to assist with social care market development in the Harrogate area”.

    Following the purchase, council officials are now expected to outline plans for the facility to senior county councillors in May.

    A spokesperson for the county council said:

    “We have completed purchase of the land and we are planning to go back to executive in May 2022 for a final decision on the use of the land and in the meantime and we are completing viability studies on best use of the site.”

    The land was previously given approval to build a 36-bed mental health facility on the site, following the closure of Harrogate District Hospital’s Briary Unit, which helped adults with mental illness.

    However, those plans were dropped in 2019 and inpatients on the unit were sent to Foss Park Hospital in York instead.
