Local detail
Harrogate (the town and the wider district) sits at the top of the Yorkshire KDR market. York, Leeds suburbs (Roundhay, Alwoodley, Bramhope), and the Vale of York towns run mid-range. East Riding (Hessle, Beverley) and parts of South Yorkshire lower.
The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks have their own planning authorities and override the constituent Local Plans on land within the park boundary. Replacement-dwelling consent in either park is design-controlled and materials-controlled to a tighter standard than the rest of the region.
Most Yorkshire local authorities do not charge CIL on single dwellings or charge at the lowest end of the £/sqm range. Building Control fees and contractor labour rates run materially below the South East benchmark.
