Heronby is a proposed development village close to Escrick, in North Yorkshire, England.
The development has been criticised for its lack of transport, the effect on the ancient woodland, and the population numbers living there, which objectors state would make it a town, not a village.
The development of Heronby is named after Heron Wood, the place where the proposed village would be built.
[6] The village is slated to have up to 386 homes built over the course of each year of the project, and the development is claimed to sustain 12,300 full-time jobs.
[8] In October 2022, the City of York Council released a report criticising the plan, stating it would add extra pressure on their area, as it was only 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) south of their boundary.
