“The variety of homes could include apartments, terraces, semi-detached and detached dwellings,” says a design and access statement.
The documents detail how the developer believes suitable access to the site can be achieved, including site road layout and landscaping.
The land is allocated as for housing in Calderdale Council’s new Local Plan, which was adopted in March.

A quarter of the homes – potentially four one-bedroom flats and four two-bedroom flats designed as quarter houses – would meet “affordable” housing requirements.
The papers also say that with an adjacent site already subject to a full application, numbered 19/00793/FUL, still to be determined, for 25 homes, and another site to the north east having potential for 40 more, there is potential for around 100 new homes on land which has been zoned for housing.
The latest application – numbered 23/00379/OUT – can be viewed on the council’s Planning Portal.
