A substantial 1.59-acre triangular development parcel on Old Lane, Halifax, offered with potential for about 25 dwellings. The site currently sits overgrown with trees and shrubs and slopes gently east to west, presenting clear scope for a compact residential scheme with garden or communal areas. Planning permission is under consideration (Application Ref: 19/00793/FUL) rather than granted—prospective buyers should review the planning drawings and status on the Local Authority Planning Portal.
The location offers practical advantages for development: bordering wooded areas that could provide attractive outlooks for some plots, a public footpath, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and nearby schools including a highly rated secondary option. The site’s size and layout could suit a mix of unit types aimed at local demand and rental or sale markets.
Key risks and constraints are straightforward. The site lies within a very deprived, high-crime ward and tenure is not stated, so purchasers must confirm title and any legal encumbrances. The land is overgrown and requires clearance and potential earthworks because of the sloping topography. Planning remains pending rather than approved, so budgets and timescales should allow for the planning process and any required mitigation or section 106 obligations.
For an investor or developer able to manage planning risk and local market dynamics, the parcel offers scale and design flexibility within Halifax. Carrying costs, security measures and preparatory site works should be factored into offer and delivery plans.
