- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Land with an old permission that was never started
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 Kippax
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 87 miles from Kippax, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
