The housebuilder is delivering more than 200 homes across three brownfield sites in Calderdale, repurposing a total area of 15-acres.

The £50m project is in partnership with Calderdale Council and a local housing provider, with the aim of regenerating the area and alleviating the shortage of housing stock.

Furness Avenue and Turner Avenue South in Illingworth and Brow Bottom Lane in Mixenden are all located in North Halifax.

Brow Bottom Lane will see around 50 multi-tenure homes delivered, while Furness Avenue and Turner Avenue will have almost 200 energy efficient homes built.

Master planning for the North Halifax Transformation Programme was partially funded through the Combined Authority and One Public Estate Programme.

Chris Clingo, regional managing director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire West, said: “We’re excited to begin building at Furness Avenue, Turner Avenue, and Brow Bottom Lane to create new thriving communities in the heart of Halifax whilst rejuvenating brownfield land.’’

Cllr Scott Patient, Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for climate action and housing, added: “Our exciting plans for high-quality homes are a significant part of our commitment to North Halifax, alongside a range of other improvement schemes, which reflects our priority for thriving towns and places across Calderdale.

“As well as transforming the area and reducing inequalities, it’s great that the developments will also help towards fighting the climate and cost of living crises through their embedded sustainable features.”
