More homes set to be added to 600-home Knaresborough scheme
House builder Taylor Wimpey looks set to be granted permission to include another 23 properties in the 600-home Manse Farm development in Knaresborough.
A Harrogate Borough Council report recommends the council's planning committee approves two variations to the original planning permission, which allowed 600 homes to be built.
The first variation is to increase the number of homes number by 23. The second variation is for the developer to change the road layout to its nearby 400-home Highfield Farm development, which is yet to be granted planning permission.
In total, over 1,000 homes could eventually be built to the east of Knaresborough off the A59.

The council report recommends councillors approve the application to improve access between the Manse Farm and Highfield Farm developments.
It says:
Goldsborough and Flaxby Parish Council objected to the proposal, saying the development needed fewer homes rather than more.
It said:
The council's planning committee will meet next Tuesday to consider the application.
