The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Cleckheaton
We are interested in land around Cleckheaton at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Cleckheaton is in West Yorkshire, about 8 miles south-west of Leeds. Nearby places include Liversedge, Heckmondwike and Brighouse.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
The South Pennine moors and part of the Peak District National Park border the west, with protected moorland habitats that can require mitigation for nearby schemes. Steep valley sites around Halifax and Huddersfield, and flood risk from the Aire and Calder, are common considerations.
What decides whether a site in Cleckheaton works
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Parts of West Yorkshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 82 miles from Cleckheaton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Cleckheaton: common questions
My land is in a call for sites. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.
How quickly can you look at a site in Cleckheaton?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Cleckheaton assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
