Kirklees Council yesterday revealed the locations of where it plans to make available for the building of thousands of homes over the next 15 years.
Every area in the borough has been analysed for its suitability as the council bids to encourage developers to build the 30,000 homes it needs.
Approximately 10,000 of those homes are on sites already earmarked - but the remaining 20,000 look set to be constructed on around 200 sites in Kirkleees.
Those sites are listed below.
Bradley Park Golf Course close to the M62 is a surprise inclusion as one of four key sites to offer more than a third of the requirement alone.
EXTRA: Click here for more on the proposed Bradley Park Golf Course development.
The entire course off Bradley Road will be offered up along with some adjacent land already allocated for housing, to provide space for 2,000 homes.
Three other major schemes in Huddersfield and Dewsbury comprise the majority of the other space for housing.
They are: ‘Dewsbury Riverside’ on land south of Ravensthorpe train station – 2,500 homes; Chidswell in east Dewsbury – 1,500 homes and a business park; and the area around the former Standard Fireworks site in Crosland Hill – 800 homes.
Look below to see if your area is up for development.
