On behalf of our client, Mandale Homes, ELG Planning are preparing a full planning application for a residential development on land off Parkwood Road, Longwood, Huddersfield. Based near Stockton-on-Tees in the North East of England, Mandale Homes are an award-winning house builder with nearly 40 years of experience. As can be seen from the draft layout plan and corresponding key (right), the development will comprise of 28no. dwellings, with a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom properties, which will suit a variety of occupiers. These will all be two-storeys in height. The full suite of house types plans (i.e., floor plans and elevations) are provided on ELG’s website, which is accessible via the link overleaf. The levels of private and visitor car parking shown on the draft layout plan will also satisfy the local standards. The site has held planning permission previously for 27no. dwellings across 2no. permissions (application references 2019/92164 and 2020/62/92118 /W). The site also forms part of a housing allocation in the Kirklees Local Plan, which establishes housing as a suitable use of the land, in principle. The draft layout plan (right) is very similar to the previous permissions, with vehicular and pedestrian access continuing to be proposed from Weavers Lane, and with a further pedestrian access proposed from Parkwood Road, and another route proposed to the south east corner of the site. The area of public open space (POS) proposed along the northeastern site boundary, adjacent to the Parkwood Mills complex, was also something that formed part of a previous permission, and a number of trees will be retained on-site as part of the development, complementing the soft landscaping proposed.
