| Description | HBC initially granted planning permission (15/00798/EIAMAJ) on 23 February 2016 following an earlier refusal of permission on the grounds of road safety and traffic flow problems. The proposed scheme included a mixed use centre with retail, primary school and open space provision. Permission was granted subject to a range of conditions which included traffic signals at the Crag Lane crossroads and other highway works along Otley Road. Subsequently the owners put the site up for sale to potential developers and it was purchased by Homes England on the 24th December 2020 who intend to submit a fresh planning application (in the meantime Homes England submitted a scoping application to HBC for 560 homes).
In December 2021 Homes England undertook a leaflet drop to around 2,300 properties and launched a website to help explain and consult on their proposal for a development of up to 480 houses on the site alongside a replacement cricket pitch and pavilion, a sports hub and community woodland.
