Keyland submits 230-home Greetland plans

A Yorkshire-based property developer has unveiled plans to build hundreds of new homes.

Keyland Developments Ltd, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister company to Yorkshire Water, has submitted an outline planning application to Calderdale Council for up to 230 mixed-tenure homes in Greetland, near Saddleworth Road, on land allocated for housing in the council’s adopted local plan.

Officials say the proposals, shaped by Keyland’s sustainability led Six Capitals model, aim to deliver long-term social and environmental value, while “accelerating the delivery of much-needed new homes”.

A community consultation event held earlier this year gave local residents the opportunity to view the proposals and provide feedback with the project team ahead of the application being lodged.

Michael Powell, land and planning manager at Keyland, said: “We’re proud to submit an outline planning application that creates a real opportunity for us to implement our unique Six Capitals philosophy, with the aim of bringing forward an exemplar residential scheme that will diversify the local housing market and accelerate the delivery of much-needed new homes.

“The submission of this application has been the result of a great deal of technical work undertaken by the wider consultant team. 

“Not only is the development poised to assist the council with housing delivery, but it also includes the provision of affordable housing, new blue and green infrastructure and public open space, as well as being a key generator of local jobs and investment throughout its lifetime.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in our community consultation, whose valuable feedback has helped to shape our planning application and ensure that this development is best placed to deliver much-needed homes and a diverse range of tenures.”
