Housing company buys Green Hammerton land for £21.5m development
Housing company Avant Homes Yorkshire has bought land in Green Hammerton to build a £21.5 million, 80-home development.
The development, which will be called Ambretone Park, will be built on land off the A59 between Harrogate and York.
Avant Homes has bought the land from Leeds-based Loxley Homes, which originally submitted plans for the development.
Harrogate Borough Council approved the proposal in March 2021 despite fierce opposition, with 229 residents in the village objecting on the grounds that it was over-development.

The scheme is set to include one, two and three-bedroom homes and 40% of the properties will be designated as affordable housing.
Chris Coley, Avant Homes Yorkshire managing director, said:
The Wakefield-based company said groundwork on the site was due to start next month.
The first residents are expected to move into the new homes in spring 2022 with the total development build taking approximately two-and-a -half years.
Green Hammerton has also been designated as the site of a new 3,000-home development by Harrogate Borough Council.
