SIXTEEN new family homes could be built on three disused sites, including one in Brighouse, if proposals are agreed by Calderdale Council’s cabinet.
If agreed the proposals would make the sites available for development to provide much-needed new homes in the borough.
Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Environment, Councillor Daniel Sutherland said: “The Council has a commitment to provide good quality, affordable homes for local families across Calderdale. We also want to create a variety of house types so there are more options for first time buyers, families and downsizers.”
Land on the south side of Elland Road in Brighouse has been earmarked for four semi-detached homes, while the two other sites are in Southowram and Todmorden.
If approved the Council will then seek consent from the Government.
The disposal of all three sites could bring the Council up to £245,000 and £16,809 New Homes Bonus per year.
