Go-ahead given for nearly 300 homes on 64-acre site
Housebuilder Redrow has been given the green light by city planners to build 289 new homes in a village near Leeds.
Redrow’s new 64-acre development in West Ardsley will include 246 homes for private sale, ranging in size from two to five-bedrooms, alongside 43 affordable properties.
A significant area of the site, located off Haigh Moor Road and Westerton Road, will be retained as woodland and managed open space, with multiple green areas and playgrounds.
John Handley, managing director of Redrow Yorkshire, said: “We’re pleased our plans for this brand new development have been given the go ahead and we look forward to bringing almost 300 much-needed homes to the Leeds market.
“Demand from buyers in this area for high quality housing continues to outweigh local supply, and we expect our Heritage Collection homes will be particularly sought after due to their in-built energy efficiency and high specification.
“This development will feature a large swathe of green space and the focal point of the retained Haigh Wood through the centre, providing a brilliant environment for families looking to put down roots.”
Redrow will also contribute towards improvements to highways at the nearby M62 junction as well as providing monies towards a residential travel plan fund, both via its section 106 contributions, agreed as part of the planning process.
Work is due to start on site imminently and the first homes are due to go on sale this summer, initially from Redrow’s Langley Grange development in Scissett.
