Is there something I'm missing here. Is Harrogate particularly low paying? I work in Glasgow - which has one of the lowest costs of living in the UK - and I would be surprised to see anyone looking for those skill sets here offering anything less that £30k, even for a junior dev.

I'd imagine there are only a few developer jobs in Harrogate, which would keep the salaries low. Glasgow is much bigger.

That's possibly it, but I'd have thought the proximity to Leeds would have offered a good choice of roles within commuting distance.

There are presumably also fewer developers available in Harrogate to hire into that limited number of roles; especially because they also have the option to commute to Leeds as you say, or work for a higher-paying remote employer. Limited tech markets work both ways.
I'm based in Hull, which — like Glasgow — has a fairly low cost of living, and 28k for this still strikes me as incredibly low.
