Granby Farm 95 homes move closer as developer buys land
The construction of 95 homes on Granby Farm has moved a step closer after a housing developer bought the land.
Richborough Estates had worked with developer Redrow Homes to apply for planning permission from Harrogate Borough Council.
The council approved the plans in April 2021 despite complaints from residents that it would result in the loss of the last remaining link between the Stray and countryside.
It also faced complaints from residents of Redrow's Devonshire Gardens who did not appreciate how the plans would see a street built over park Pickering Gardens.
Now it has permission, Redrow Homes has officially bought the 10.1 acre land from Richborough Estates.
The Stray Ferret asked both Redrow Homes and Richborough Estates how much the land was bought for but we received no reply by the time of writing.

Workers have already started preparing the land for the development, which is to be known as Granby Meadows.
