Otley Garden Centre

We are pleased to inform you that TGC (2015) Ltd have exicting plans for a new play facility at Otley Garden Centre on Pool Road, Otley. 

A planning application will be submitted to Leeds City Council looks to replace an existing warehouse located at the rear of the site, with a modern play facility, bringing Grass Hoppers indoor and outdoor play facility to enhance the offer at Otley Garden Centre.

The existing warehouse is some 25 years old and is no longer fit-fot purpose, however some storage space is still required for the garden centre business. The proposed new structure will therefore be divided between the indoor play facility and a seperate storage area accessed from the rear.  The new replacement structure will be a purpose-built steel portal frame building that will be situated in the exact same location as the existing warehouse at the northern extent of the garden centre site. 

The play space presents an exciting opportunity for the residents of Otley, bringing a new offer to the town and enhancing facilities for young children/parents and carers.  Grass Hoppers is a well loved play facility at TGC Ltd's other garden centre sites located across Yorkshire and this proposal presents an opportunity to re-establish the garden centre's position in the area, retain existing cutomers and cater for the customer demands by improving the existing facilities for younger families. 

  • Grass Hoppers indoor play space,
  • An outdoor play area for small children, 
  • A replacement stroage warehouse, 
  • Additional car parking spaces. 

The scheme will provide a modern and substantially enhanced facility that will allow Otley Garden Centre to compete successfully within the market, and provide associated facilities that customers now expect to find in a modern garden centre environment.  Furthermore, it will bring investment in the local area, creating additional employment.
