Scarborough Group and Greyfriars Investments are assessing the site at Flaxby, next to junction 47 of the A1 (M), between York and Knaresborough.

Alternative proposals, including an eco-village resort, were considered in the past but did not move forward.
After a strategic review of the site in 2022/23 the Scarborough Group has submitted the site for consideration in North Yorkshire Council’s new Local Plan.
