Doncaster-based Strata Homes Limited put in a planning application to create houses and roads on urban green space behind New Lane and Pearson Street, Moorside, on September 26.

Cleckheaton councillor Baroness Kath Pinnock said: “For a developer to come along with plans is outrageous. If this land is lost, then there will be green belt applications across Kirklees.”
A separate application has been made by Atkin Enterprises, of Bradford, to build 34 homes and 78 parking spaces at land off Croft Street in Birkenshaw.
