Keep our children safe
For those of you interested in the proposed development on Balderstone fields, this site has been targeted by Bellway 3 times previously. Each time, Save Mirfield fought to oppose it.
​
In 1999, Bellway appealed against the failure of the council to determine the application within the required period. The appeal was determined by way of a public inquiry and was dismissed, with outline planning permission for residential development being refused on 18 June 1999. The second time they tried was in 2015 and the third time in 2017/18.
​
In the current Kirklees Local Plan it is currently designated as Safeguarded land, which isn't as nice as it sounds. It means it could be considered for development at some point in the future. Bellway thinks that point is now while the Kirklees Local Plan is being reviewed
