Construction News Image

Keepmoat Homes has announced plans to invest over £50 million in three new housing developments across Calderdale, aiming to deliver more than 200 new homes.

The developments, undertaken in partnership with Calderdale Council, form part of the North Halifax Transformation Programme, a local authority initiative designed to regenerate the area and provide much-needed housing stock.

The housebuilder, alongside a local housing association, will redevelop disused land at Furness Avenue, Turner Avenue, and Brow Bottom Lane in North Halifax, repurposing 15 acres to create high-quality, energy-efficient homes and revitalize the community.

The regeneration will see Brow Bottom Lane in Mixenden host approximately 50 multi-tenure homes, while Furness Avenue and Turner Avenue South in Illingworth will feature nearly 200 new homes. These will be available for open market sale and in partnership with a local housing association, ensuring a mix of ownership options to meet community needs.

Chris Clingo, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire West, said: "We're thrilled to be delivering hundreds of new homes in the North Halifax area under our strategic partnership model to build quality, sustainable homes as part of the North Halifax Transformation Programme.

"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."

The sites all sit within the Homes England Strategic Place Partnership with West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Master planning for the North Halifax Transformation Programme was partially funded through the Combined Authority and One Public Estate Programme.
