North Yorkshire Council has said it does not know when a planned relocation of Harlow Nurseries will take place.
The site on Nursery Lane is where the council grows flowers for its displays across the district. It also sells plants to members of the public to bring in revenue.
However, the land it’s on is allocated for housing in the council’s Local Plan and a 62-home scheme is planned.
Harrogate Borough Council, in one of its last acts before being abolished to make way for the new unitary authority, proposed buying land to the north-east of Harrogate to relocate the nursery.
But since North Yorkshire Council took over in April, there has been no public comments on the move.
North Yorkshire Council has now confirmed the sale did go through.
But it added that a review of horticulture across North Yorkshire is underway and the move can not progress until that review is completed.
