Banks submits Shepley plans

The developer is looking to build 110 homes on a site in Eastfield and if approved, expects to start construction in 2027.

Alongside housing, the Shepley development would include a play area, public open space, green corridors, and 35% affordable housing.

Located south of Huddersfield, plans have been submitted to Kirklees Council and Banks is hopeful they will be reviewed early next year.

Jamilah Hassan, community relations manager at Banks Group, says: “The provision of private and affordable homes through this development will give more local people and families a greater opportunity to stay in the village, while creating new wildlife habitats and new areas of public open space around the development will encourage and enhance local biodiversity…

“We are confident there would be significant demand for new homes on this development and hope the members of Kirklees Council’s planning committee will support it when it comes before them next year.”
