Land To The South Of Harmby Road, Leyburn

The site is located to the south-east of Leyburn, an attractive tourist destination which offers a mix of leisure and retail facilities. The subject site is situated south of Leyburn Business Park and comprises 2.28 Acres (0.92 Hectares) of relatively flat land. The subject site includes the land marked in red, but the additional land, marked in blue, may be available upon request and measures approximately 2.7 Acres (1.09 Hectares).

The site is outside but adjacent to Leyburn’s Development Limits and complies with Core Policy CP4 of the Local Plan Core Strategy. It benefits from extant planning permission for a 40-bed hotel (Class C1) and a country store (Class E), with development already implemented. Our planning team considers the site suitable for alternative uses, including care provision, commercial, or residential development, subject to the necessary permissions. Given Richmondshire’s limited 2.8-year housing land supply, paragraph 11 of the NPPF is engaged for applications involving the provision of housing.
The site is situated within a sustainable location near Leyburn’s amenities and residential areas which enhances its prospects.

The site is to be sold freehold with vacant possession.
