West Yorkshire centres on Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Halifax, with many mill and mining towns such as Dewsbury, Batley, Keighley, Castleford and Pontefract. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, so former mill, industrial and colliery land and town-centre sites are major sources of housing land. Grey belt and smaller fringe sites on the urban edge can also come forward.
Before we make an offer in Cleckheaton
Protected species
Bats and barn owls are common in rural buildings and need surveys at the right time of year.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 82 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
