The garage courts and yards that interests us around Heckmondwike
Across Heckmondwike, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Sitting about 8 miles south-west of Leeds, Heckmondwike is within West Yorkshire, with Liversedge and Batley close by.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
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 Heckmondwike
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 81 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
