Final backing for 367 homes on Penny Pot Lane
Harrogate council bosses have given final backing for 367 homes on Penny Pot Lane.
The development comes as part of a wider 600-home scheme, which was given outline approval back in 2015.
Developer Persimmon Homes is behind the proposal, which has already seen some of the homes on the southern side of the site built.
Now, council officers have given final approval for the second part of the scheme which covers the northern part of the development.
It will see 367 homes built, along with a link road for buses, cyclists and pedestrians to the Jennyfield estate. The site layout also includes allotments, public open areas and space for a primary school.

Meanwhile, Persimmon Homes recently reiterated its commitment to building homes on Kingsley Drive in Harrogate.
The developer saw a 217-home plan for the development rejected by Harrogate Borough Council back in August.
However, Persimmon told the Stray Ferret that it was still "fully committed" to the site and was still "considering its options".
