A land promoter is proposing 85-105 homes on Green Belt land north of Tadcaster.

Hargreaves Strategic Land is proposing a housing scheme for 85-105 homes on a 10-acre site north of Edgerton Drive, Tadcaster. The site is currently used for agriculture and is designated as Green Belt land on the north-western edge of the town.

The company has been consulting locally and held a public event at Riley-Smith Hall this month. It is seeking public comment on the proposals, with a deadline of 5pm on Wednesday 21 October. Hargreaves says the site has the lowest risk of flooding, is screened by hedgerows to limit visual impact and is within walking distance of Tadcaster town centre. The company describes the field as having low biodiversity value and containing no heritage assets.

In promotional literature, Hargreaves says it aims to 'create connected, vibrant and future-ready communities'. The company notes that North Yorkshire Council has a target of 4,171 homes a year, which the council has publicly admitted it cannot meet, and argues that only 33 dwellings were completed in Tadcaster between April 2011 and March 2025.
