The development plan document (DPD) for a new settlement at Maltkiln has received approval from a planning inspector.
The plans, centred around Cattal railway station, was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for independent examination by North Yorkshire Council in April last year.
It includes proposals to create a sustainable new community where people have access to new homes, local services and facilities, open spaces, and direct public transport links to York, Harrogate and Leeds.
A week-long planning inquiry took place at Harrogate Civic Centre in September last year.
Now an inspector has now confirmed that the proposals are legally and procedurally “sound” subject to modifications including amendments to the boundary and access.
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open to business, Cllr Mark Crane, said: “This important decision allows us to continue progressing plans to provide much needed new homes and support services in the central part of North Yorkshire.
