Is your land in Kippax the kind we want?
In the countryside around Kippax, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. Kippax lies about 8 miles east of Leeds in West Yorkshire. We also cover Castleford, Pontefract, Leeds and the villages between them.
- Modern agricultural buildings that may suit Class Q (England)
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
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.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 87 miles from Kippax, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
