The plans from Holcombe will see the homes built at land off Bowling Alley.

Objectors included Calder Valley MP Craig Whittaker, who raised concerns about drainage, loss of green space and impact on wildlife.

The new application – number 24/00350/RES, persuant to the outline application 20/00588/OUT – seeks to address the detail, dealing with issues including construction, ecological management, lighting and any potential land contamination issues.

These will include a biodiversity protection zone around the River Calder while building work is carried out, says an assessment compiled by E3P for agents Eden Building Design Ltd.
