WORK is due to start this summer on a development of 41 affordable homes at Long Lee. The scheme – for land between Long Lee Lane and Redwood Close – was approved by Bradford Council last month, despite some objections. Those behind the project say it will provide jobs and training opportunities and create “a really attractive place to live”. Spearheading the venture is Urban Developments (York) Ltd – part of the Urban Group – in partnership with Bradford-based social housing provider, Accent. The development has been designed by Brewster Bye Architects. Plans to build 45 homes were approved in outline form in 2018. Following that, Brewster Bye submitted a so-called reserved matters application for 32 houses – as well as a full planning application for nine homes on an adjoining site acquired by Urban Developments (York).
