Bellway are back!!!
Bellway have submitted their planning application and we have until the 31st January to object.
Bellway Homes are trying for the fifth time to get permission to build on Balderstone Fields.
Since formed, Save Mirfield has successfully opposed the last 3 applications and we are now working on another detailed objection with an emphasis on Highways.
We need as many objections as possible and we are actively running a public campaign to help drive this forward. Please continue to monitor our Facebook page to get updates.
About the application
Application Details
Site: Land off Woodward Court/Hepworth Lane
Proposal: 75 residential dwellings (Bellway Homes)
Reference: 2025/93355 (Kirklees Council)
Please note: The submitted application is different from that seen at the Public Consultation held by Bellway on 2 October 2025. See map for the proposed plan.
Bellway’s Proposed plan:
Why object: Deadline 31st January
We, along with a large proportion of the community, believe this site is not fit for the proposed development. To escalate the application for a more detailed review, we need individual objections (so more than one per household!). Objections must be clear, factual, and evidence based and should aim to use personal examples (where possible).
See 'Objections: all you need to know' tab for more information on material objections for planning applications.
