Land with consent for 129 homes is acquired by developer

Miller Homes has completed the acquisition of land in Collingham, West Yorkshire, for a new residential development.

The site, which is on Leeds Road, has received planning permission for 129 homes.

Ian Thomson, land director, Miller Homes Yorkshire, said: “The purchase allows Miller Homes to continue to bring quality developments to the region in areas of the community where people really want to live.

“The development has been planned to give residents plenty of space and take advantage of its semi-rural location on the fringes of Collingham village.”

As part of the planning permission, the housebuilder will contribute to the local community through a Section 106 agreement.

This totals over £200,000, much of which will be invested in transport. Part of the contribution is also allocated to flood prevention work.

Thomson added: “The Miller Homes team in Yorkshire has worked with the local council to achieve a design which focuses on quality and placemaking and we look forward to beginning work at the site imminently.

“Collingham is such a lovely part of Yorkshire to call home and we look forward to bringing much needed homes to this well established and welcoming community.”

It is expected the first homes will be available for sale later in 2022.
