THE OPPORTUNITY

Our clients own the freehold interest in this site, which comprises a former quarry occupying a most attractive setting off Lightfield Road, Brighouse.

The land has been allocated within the Council UDP (Reference HS2 - 3).

Our client’s architects and engineers have considered the extent of a remediation scheme to facilitate a plateaued residential development described in greater detail below.

We are instructed to invite expressions of interest from prospective purchasers demonstrating their resources and ability to deliver the best price for the site subject to planning approval.

LOCATION

The site occupies an attractive green field setting, within a former quarry with frontage to Lightfield Road. The land is immediately to the east of Brighouse High School and surrounded by existing residential development.

This location gives excellent access to local facilities and the wider region, with Brighouse town centre being approximately 1km to the south.

THE SITE

The site extends to approximately 4.45 acres (1.80 Hectares) and has a frontage to Lightcliffe Road, Springfield Grove and Granny Hall Lane.

The base of the quarry is at approximately 84.0 AOD, some 17m below road levels. Parts of the site to the east of the quarry workings highwall, which extend to approximately 1 acre, have not been worked and are covered with mounds of stone rubble and abandoned buildings at a similar level to Lightcliffe Road.

The remainder of the site falls steeply into the quarry base varying from vertical to an old vehicle access at a gradient of 1:6.

Our client’s engineers have carried out an assessment of a proposal to fill the base of the pond stone quarry to a level of c.95.0 AOD which is c.6m below the road level at the junction of Granny Hall Lane and Lightcliffe Road.

This would involve clearance of vegetation, crushing and spreading mounds of stone rubble and importation and compaction of c.50,000 m 3 of bulk fill. This equates to c.5,000 wagonloads of imported fill. The filling will need to be carefully planned and monitored to achieve the required environmental and geotechnical properties suitable for residential use.

PLANNING

The site is allocated for housing within the Calderdale UDP which was adopted in August 2006 (Reference No. HS2 – 3). Our client’s architects held informal discussions with the Planning Authority confirming they will be supportive of residential development of the type and scale shown on the indicative plan prepared by KPP Architects.

The principle issue would be the remediation, i.e. partial filling of the quarry. Following a detailed 3D survey undertaken with our client’s structural engineer and detailed analysis of the quantity and technical requirements of the filling operation, we have concluded that the quantity and method required means the site is capable of being filled within a 12 / 18 month period. The Planning Authority have agreed that whilst the filling licence over an extended period would not be supported, this limited period proposal would be considered as part of site development associated with comprehensive residential development of the site.
