Plans submitted for development of new self-build homes in Brighouse
Proposals for three new self-build homes at a Brighouse site have been submitted to planners.
Paul Rand has applied to Calderdale Council seeking permission to build the homes on land off Thornhills Beck Lane.
The land is described in a supporting statement as currently being used as pasture.
At this stage, the application is for considering suitability of the access, with all other matters reserved for a full, detailed application which would need to be submitted later.
Access would be from Barnsley Road, where properties either abut or are set back from the road, says the supporting statement from eleven52architects accompanying the application.
The homes scheme will blend in with the fall of the land on the site and in appearance they will “preserve and enhance” the character of the area, say the architects.
But details on design and appearance are reserved for future consideration at this stage.
Trees along Thornhills Beck Lane would be retained, and opportunities exist for additional planting along other boundaries, they add.
Good access will be retained and it is considered the site represents a “natural infill” to the existing built up area of Thornhills Beck, which has schools, supermarkets and shops.
Subject to some conditions, highways officers have indicated they are raising no objections to the proposals at this stage.
The application, number 25/01250/OUT, and other documents can be viewed on the council’s Planning Portal.
