RHS plans Harlow Carr service yard redevelopment
The Royal Horticultural Society has tabled plans for a major redevelopment of its service yard at Harlow Carr in Harrogate.
The organisation plans to build a workshop and machinery store, composting store, staff welfare building, events store, poly tunnel and glasshouse on the site.
In proposals lodged to North Yorkshire Council, the RHS said the redevelopment would help to support the “operation of the garden in a highly sustainable way”.
It added that the current facilities at the service yard were “nearing the end of their economic life” and in poor condition.
The site would continue to be used for horticultural support staff at the gardens, the documents added.
In plans submitted to the council, it said:
The Stray Ferret contacted the RHS to ask how much the redevelopment would cost.
In response, a spokesperson for the RHS said:
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
