Developer withdraws plan for 55 retirement homes in Kirk Hammerton
A developer has withdrawn plans for 55 retirement homes and a community hub in Kirk Hammerton.
SageHaus Living, which is based in the Isle of Man, submitted the proposal to Harrogate Borough Council for land off Station Road in the village.
The proposal would have seen 55 park homes built along with a hub, which would be open for the community to use for meetings and other activities.
SageHause Living, which acquired the site known as Carlton Fields in 2021, said in documents submitted to the council that scheme would help bring more retirement accommodation to the district, while also being environmentally friendly.
However, the developer has since withdrawn the application.
