Is your land in Cleckheaton the kind we want?
Around Cleckheaton, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Cleckheaton is in West Yorkshire, about 8 miles south-west of Leeds. Nearby places include Liversedge, Heckmondwike and Brighouse.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
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.
