New house build estate is ready to go this year
A HOUSEBUILDER for an Elland scheme says work is expected to start on a 314-home phase in December, providing planning permission is granted.
Avant Homes North Yorkshire has already submitted to Calderdale Council a “hybrid” application seeking permission to build a bumper 444 homes at land to the north and south of Exley Lane.
Avant Homes North Yorkshire and and J. S. Morton & Sons want to deliver the first phase of development – a £70million multi-tenure development called Coppice Quarter – on 27 acres of the land.
The proposed development will comprise a mix of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes and the phase will include 14 of the company’s energy efficient multi-tenure house types and, of the 314 properties, 20 per cent have been designated to affordable housing.
If given the go-ahead by Calderdale Council, work at the development is expected to start in December, with the first residents anticipated to move into their new homes in July next year, says the company.
Avant Homes North Yorkshire managing director Matt Oldfield said: “Our objective as a housebuilder is to provide quality new homes for everyone in places where people want to live that will create long-lasting sustainable communities.
“Coppice Quarter has been designed according to those criteria and will provide people with practically designed, energy efficient homes at a range of price points in order to make them more accessible.”
The other part of the application seeks outline permission – covering access and establishing the principle of development – for 130 homes and two access points on land to the south of Exley Lane.
The application papers – number 24/00136/FUL – can be viewed on the council’s Planning Portal.
Responses to a company “leaflet drop” showed concerns voiced about pressure on infrastructure such as schools and GP surgeries, increased traffic and flooding risk, as well as loss of green space, say the papers.
