ITV's long-running soap Emmerdale has been filming at Harewood House in West Yorkshire since 1997. The production company has now sought permission from Leeds City Council to turn the site into a permanent home.

  • Emmerdale has been filming at Harewood House in West Yorkshire since 1997
  • The current contract requires the site to be restored to its original condition within six months
  • The planning application is out for consultation until 13 August

Emmerdale, which shoots over 260 episodes annually on location, has been filming at Harewood House since 1997. The location, owned by the Lascelles family, provides the backdrop to staple Emmerdale spots like Burden Head Farm and the Woolpack pub. The planning report reads: 'The Emmerdale Village Production Set provides a facility which adapts to the ever-changing needs of production.'

What this means for you: This may affect local residents if the planning application is approved and the site is converted into a permanent Emmerdale location.
