The Skipton Development Programme is a five year transformational project that will see around £65million invested in this picturesque North Yorkshire Market town.

After a protracted competitive tendering process, Craven District Council chose us as its preferred strategic partner to help it deliver more than 360 new homes, (40% of which will be affordable housing). The programme also includes a number of new town centre retail outlets, new leisure and cultural facilities, public spaces and the restoration of the historic Town Hall.

The announcement marks the end of an extensive period of consultation and evaluation, and the district council expressing confidence in our proposals as a vehicle to deliver the best possible solution for the future of the town and district.

The programme covers four key sites within the town:

  • Granville Street - 81 new homes that will meet a range of lifestyles.
  • Horse Close - a contemporary housing scheme of more than 230 new homes.
  • Town Hall - sympathetic transformation into a cultural centre incorporating exhibition galleries, a performance hall, a refurbished Craven Museum, a tourist information centre and a range of meeting rooms.
  • High Street - a number of new retail opportunities combined with 16 high quality apartments.
