Keyland Developments has secured outline planning consent for a new residential development of up to 230 new homes on a site to the south of Saddleworth Road in Greetland, West Yorkshire.
The 10-hectare Ellistones Gate site is allocated for housing in Calderdale Council’s adopted local plan and represents a key opportunity to help meet the borough’s growing housing needs, along with a natural green corridor alongside existing woodland.
Joe Boothman, land and development manager at Keyland Developments, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister company to Yorkshire Water, said: “The proposed Ellistones Gate development will create a real opportunity for us to implement our unique Six Capitals philosophy, with the aim of bringing forward an exemplar residential scheme that will diversify the local housing market and accelerate the delivery of much-needed new homes. The committee resolution to approve the application has been the result of a great deal of technical work undertaken by the wider consultant team and working closely with Calderdale Council.
“It will bring about a scheme that not only assists the council with housing delivery, but will also include the provision of affordable housing, new blue and green infrastructure and public open space, as well as being a key generator of local jobs and investment throughout its lifetime. We are looking forward to engaging with interested parties to advance the development.”
Carter Jonas has been appointed to launch the site to market.
