C Ghiloni and J Pype have applied for outline planning permission for 11 homes on the land off Huddersfield Road.

He said: “The land at the left-hand side of the house and to the rear is an allocated housing site under the Unitary Development Plan.”

He said the owners decided to progress the development after a change in family circumstances and changes to national planning policy removed a presumption of developing brownfield before greenfield.

Public consultation on the plans ends on February 9.
