The major developments set to change Catterick by 2027

From Shute Road to the farmland between Catterick Garrison and Colburn, the way people live, work and access services here is set to change dramatically.

Here are the major developments set to change Catterick by 2027, what they involve and what they could mean for residents, soldiers and businesses.

Catterick’s £21m town centre revamp on Shute Road

The most visible change is the multi‑million‑pound redevelopment of Catterick Garrison town centre, focused around Shute Road and Coronation Park.

Planning permission has been granted and demolition work has already taken down a number of existing buildings on Shute Road, allowing construction to begin.

The redevelopment, being delivered by contractor Willmott Dixon, is expected to be completed by late 2026 or 2027.

At its heart is a new town square designed as a civic space for events and everyday use.

A new community and enterprise building will provide offices for small businesses, co‑working areas, rooms for community groups, food retail, and space for activities linked to Coronation Park.

Plans also include major upgrades to Coronation Park, with improved play areas, a skate park, sensory and reflective spaces, woodland planting and community gardens.

Integrated Care Campus: new health hub for military and civilian communities

Alongside the physical town centre changes, a flagship Integrated Care Campus is being built in Catterick Garrison.

The project is funded by the NHS and Ministry of Defence to bring together GP, community health and care services for both the military and civilian population of Catterick and wider Richmondshire.

Health officials say the campus will replace outdated facilities with modern, purpose‑built clinical space, helping to cut duplication and improve access to care for thousands of patients.

It is designed to make it easier for Army families and residents to see the right professional in one place rather than travelling between different sites.

Colburn Grange: up to 450 new homes between Catterick Garrison and Colburn

Just to the west of Catterick Garrison, on land between the garrison and Colburn, a major new housing estate is being proposed.

Developer Keyland has submitted outline plans for up to 450 homes on roughly 20–21 hectares of agricultural land north of Catterick Road, on a site branded Colburn Grange.

The masterplan shows a new neighbourhood with a mix of housing types, green spaces and walking and cycling connections into existing communities.

Residents and campaigners have raised concerns about the number of houses, the impact on roads and services, and the loss of open countryside.

The application is now with North Yorkshire Council, and if approved could see construction begin during the second half of the decade.

What this could mean for Catterick by 2027

By 2027, Catterick Garrison’s Shute Road area is expected to look very different, with a new town square, community and enterprise hub, improved park and better walking and cycling links replacing older buildings and car‑dominated streets.

The integrated care campus should be operating alongside those changes, giving the town a modern health facility that serves both the Army and wider community.

If the Colburn Grange estate is approved, the first phases of up to 450 homes could also be underway, bringing new families into the area and raising fresh questions about traffic, services and the balance between military and civilian life around the garrison.
