A planning application seeking outline permission to build 14 homes at the Spring Lodge Stone Services site at St Giles Road, Lightcliffe, has been submitted.

The application has been put forward by Mr Marcus Walsh of Martin Walsh Architectural.

Supporting papers submitted by AKPlanning say there has been an extensive history of planning applications on this and adjacent sites, three with permission for ten homes each, all granted by applying “very special circumstances” with green belt policy involved.

Elsewhere in Calderdale, Mr Liam Busby of Buzz Bee Homes Ltd has applied for reserved matters concerning appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, after outline planning permission was earlier approved for six homes at the Talbot Inn site at Raw Lane, Illingworth.
