A developer looking to build in Lindley has described it as the “ideal spot”.
House-builder Taylor Wimpey are due to submit a planning application for land off Lindley Moor Road.
It will be a development of 31 homes on fields at the junction of Lindley Moor Road and Weatherhill Road.
The Examiner reported Clr Cahal Burke’s concerns about the development, which he fears will add to the burden on already over-subscribed schools.
Andy Roberts, strategic land and planning manager for Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said homes will include a mix of detached and semi-detached designs. The firm has assured financial schemes to assist eligible purchasers, including the new Government-backed Help to Buy initiative.
Asked why they picked Lindley, Mr Robert explained: “The site is unallocated white land and in the council’s Unitary Development Plan.
“It is also within the urban designation for Huddersfield, making it an ideal spot for us to build some much-needed new homes. With the schemes we will be bringing to the area as well, it will offer a wider range of house-hunters the chance to buy here.”
A planning application is expected to be submitted later this month.
