A government-appointed inspector will examine North Yorkshire Council’s development plan document, which guides how the scheme would be built.
The council has a major say in Maltkiln as it’s the largest allocation for housing in the already agreed Harrogate local plan.
Planning permission has not been approved yet but the scheme would be built near the villages of Cattal, Whixley, Green Hammerton and Kirk Hammerton.
The council says the document “sets a clear and ambitious thirty-year vision” for Maltkiln.
It includes details of the site’s boundaries, how the homes would be developed alongside local transport infrastructure and how it will combat the effects of climate change.
During the examination, the inspector will hold public sessions where interested parties can make representations about the plans.
