Plans to create a new Harrogate auction house have been approved by North Yorkshire Council.

The Stray Ferret revealed in March an application had been submitted for the facility at Springfield Farm Business Park, near Kettlesing. The site is just off the A59 Skipton Road, seven miles east of Harrogate.

The site will host weekly auctions on Saturdays.

Planning documents do not reveal which firm plans to move in, but correspondence revealed the company set to occupy the unit “have auction houses elsewhere” and 10 jobs would be created.

The auction house will be less than five miles away from Thompson’s Auctioneers at Killinghall.

A building on the business park, which had been vacant since January 2023, will be converted for auctions.

Council case officer Kate Broadbank said in the decision notice:

"The proposed change of use accords with the Harrogate local plan and there are no material considerations in this instance that warrant setting aside local planning policies.
"The application is therefore recommended for approval."


The unit was previously used by a packaging company which relocated to Keighley.

Planning documents submitted to North Yorkshire Council said:

“Potential bidders will be able to attend the auction rooms in person, leave commission bids, bid via telephone or via one or more online platforms.
"There will be approximately 20 bidders likely to attend auctions in person and the existing car parking spaces will be sufficient for their business needs. It is anticipated that the auction rooms will employ around 10 full time equivalent staff including auctioneers, valuers, accountants, and administrative staff and porters.”
