A site is back before planners with a proposal to build five homes near Brighouse.
Mr Brearley has applied to Calderdale Council seeking outline permission for a revised scheme to build the new homes at land to the northeast of Ings Croft, Field Lane, Rastrick.
Two years ago permission was granted to build two pairs of semi-detached houses – four homes in total – but earlier this year proposals to build three pairs of semi-detached homes was refused by the council.

A supporting document submitted with the application, drawn up by Express Planning, says the site is unused and has a detrimental impact on the surrounding area.
The existing site consists of fully grown protected trees, open space, overgrown bushes and shrubs and small trees, with no evidence of formal landscaping nor other natural features that could support habitat for wildlife, says the statement.
It adds: “It can be confidently stated that the site has no ecological value.”
