In the application to Calderdale Council the developers say the former care home will be demolished and “the apartments will cater to buyers wanting the opportunity to live within a stylish development finished to the highest standards and enjoying the benefits of the local amenities within a well established residential area”.

The current proposal suggests 35 new apartments will be a mix of 11 one-bedroom apartments, 19 two-bedroom apartments and five three-bedroom penthouse apartments.

The accommodation is split across three storeys with the top floor set back to reduce the overall massing effect of the building while also providing an opportunity to incorporate terrace spaces to the penthouse apartments

Developers say the current care home building that was closed in 2017 has fallen into a state of disrepair and lost its original character.
