What small sites we want near Kippax
In Kippax, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood. Kippax is in West Yorkshire, about 8 miles east of Leeds. Nearby places include Castleford, Pontefract and Leeds.

- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
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.
What decides whether a site in Kippax works
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 87 miles from Kippax, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
