Plans submitted for housing scheme in Halifax

Keyland Developments (Keyland) has submitted outline planning for a 230 residential development in Halifax.

The proposed Ellistones Gate development, located in Greetland, is allocated for housing in Calderdale Council’s adopted local plan to help meet the borough’s growing housing needs.

Michael Powell, land and planning manager at Keyland, said: “We’re proud to submit an outline planning application that creates 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 submission of this application has been the result of a great deal of technical work undertaken by the wider consultant team. Not only is the development poised to assist the Council with housing delivery, but it also includes 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.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in our community consultation, whose valuable feedback has helped to shape our planning application and ensure that this development is best placed to deliver much-needed homes and a diverse range of tenures.”
