    A new sports hub and playing fields have been added to plans for a new settlement in the Harrogate district.

    The new town, called Maltkiln, will have up to 4,000 homes and is earmarked for the Cattal and Green Hammerton area.

    It is also expected to include two primary schools, shops and a GP surgery.

    Amendments to the latest plans show that a sports hub with playing pitches is now included in the proposals.

    According to documents on Harrogate Borough Council's planning portal, the hub was included following discussions with Sport England, which had objected to the proposal amid clarity on contributions for sports facilities.

    An updated planning statement from developer Caddick said:

    “Sport England also issued a holding objection awaiting additional information on the proposed sports facilities and any off-site contributions to enhance existing sports facilities.
    “Discussions have been held with Sports England about what additional details they require. The scheme will deliver a new 3.6ha sports hub comprising pitches, car parking and an associated building providing changing, toilet and refurbishment facilities.
    “In addition, youth pitches are provided within the primary schools.”

    The move comes amid concerns about a current six-week council consultation on the new development plan document that provides broad details about the new settlement.

    Cllr Arnold Warneken, a Green Party councillor on North Yorkshire County Council, called for the consultation to be extended or started again. after it emerged the documents had been changed midway through – without people being told.

    The move has heightened concerns among residents in the area affected that the planning process is being rushed before Harrogate Borough Council is abolished on April 1. They say allowing more time would increase support for the process and show transparency.
