    Council 'examining best options' for £1.8m Cardale Park land

    County council bosses are “examining the best options” for land at Cardale Park in Harrogate after purchasing it for £1.8 million.

    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.

    North Yorkshire County Council completed the purchase of the land last year.

    At the time, the authority said it had bought the site in order to progress a “scheme to assist with social care market development in the Harrogate area”.

    Cllr Michael Harrison, executive county councillor for health and adult services, said the council was now assessing how to use the land.

    He said:

    “We acquired the Cardale Park site with the intention of increasing the care services available in Harrogate. 
    “We are still in the process of examining the best options for meeting the community’s needs and will bring forward a scheme in due course.”


    The land was previously given approval for 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.
