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.

Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
