and live on Freeview channel 276
HNJ Properties wants to develop the site at Quarry House, Ramsden Street, Wheatley.
A covering letter and a highways statement submitted to Calderdale Council in support of the application argue the new bid addresses issues raised by a planning inspector who rejected an appeal against a previous refusal.

The Alistair Flatman Planning covering note argues: “Having reviewed the inspector’s comments in relation to the previous 2021 scheme, the access arrangements have been improved to demonstrate compliance with the requirement to provide visibility splays of 2.4m x 33m at the site entrance.
“The revised scheme therefore addresses the Inspector’s only grounds for dismissing the appeal.”
The supporting letters say the proposal comprises three, three-bed, dwellings across the site, each served by two parking spaces and private amenity space, with suitable turning and visitor parking on site.

The engineered solution makes best use of this previously developed site, with design and layout of the dwellings reflecting the final plans for the 2021 scheme considered by the Inspector at appeal, claims the supporting letter.
