PLANS have been proposed for more than 200 houses to be built on a patch of scrubland in the area. The plans, created by Strata Homes and Johnson Mowat Planning & Development Consultants, are for 203 houses on land in Westgate, Cleckheaton, between Robert Street and Quarry Road. Details of the proposals have been sent to local residents to garner their opinion before a full planning application is submitted to Kirklees Council. Strata Homes has said the development would provide “much needed housing” in a “sustainable location within a short walk to public transport and a wide range of local facilities”. The 6.446 hectare site is currently a scrubland, and the plans propose to create 203 homes, 30 per cent of which will be affordable housing, plus landscaping on the site and the provision of a “green corridor” at the centre of the site and an “extensive public open space” at the south of the site.
