Harrogate Spring Water has formally submitted its final expansion proposal to North Yorkshire Council, following an additional round of consultation with local community groups, stakeholders and council officials.
At the heart of the proposal remains the creation of a new, publicly accessible woodland spanning two acres of land, located adjacent to Rotary Wood and behind the existing Harrogate Spring Water site on Harlow Moor Road.
We will plant approximately 491 new trees on land within this new area and adjoining our site. The newly acquired land will be publicly accessible and deliver increased woodland for the community to enjoy. Additionally, we have also committed to planting around 3,000 trees on land around the Harrogate district.
This new extension will provide additional bottling and commercial space to meet growing demand, creating over 50 new jobs and has been designed to a high sustainability standard.
To continue meeting customer demand and uphold the highest standards of quality and sustainability, Harrogate Spring Water needs to expand its current premises.
This investment will increase capacity, create greater efficiency, and ensure Harrogate Spring Water can continue to proudly represent its heritage while meeting the needs of future generations.
Environmental stewardship forms a key part of our core values and as a B Corp certified business we remain committed to promoting biodiversity, protecting the local environment and supporting local amenity spaces.

Our proposal will play a significant role to further support the local and regional economy. Over 50 new jobs for local people will be created locally with an additional 20 construction jobs (on & off site) while the site is being built. It is estimated that the revised scheme will boost the local economy by around £2.3m every year, bringing Harrogate Spring Water’s total Gross Value Added (GVA) to around £6.2m in GVA per annum.
