Maltkilns House And Railings

A report from 2019 detailed that the Harrogate borough consisted of 160,000 people living in almost 67,200 homes. By the year 2030, the population across the district is expected to increase to 170,000. The Harrogate Local Plan, which was adopted in March 2020, called for the building of 13,377 new homes (637 homes per annum over 21 years). One of the proposals was the building of a new village at Flaxby, close to the junction of the A1(M) with the A59. However, the then Harrogate Borough Council pressed ahead with Maltkiln as the preferred option.
