Avant Homes North Yorkshire has taken a major step forward in expanding its regional portfolio after securing a new residential development site in Harrogate.

The housebuilder has exchanged contracts on 5.61 acres of land at Knox Lane, where it plans to deliver 60 energy-efficient two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, subject to planning approval. The development is expected to have a gross development value of £16 million.

Plans for the scheme, set to feature 10 of Avant Homes' signature house types, including both semi-detached and detached properties — are due to be submitted to North Yorkshire Council in November. Homes will be offered at a range of price points to appeal to a broad mix of buyers.

Richard Hosie, regional managing director of Avant Homes North Yorkshire, said: "Exchanging contracts on this site in Harrogate is an exciting step towards growing our development portfolio across North Yorkshire.

"Our ambition is to build quality new homes that are practically designed and energy efficient and this site offers a great opportunity to do so in a popular location where people want to live.

"We look forward to working with North Yorkshire Council and submitting our plans to deliver a new and thriving community for Harrogate."
