This substantial 5.66-hectare (13.89-acre) site on Longwood Edge Road presents a clear development opportunity for long-term investors and housebuilders. The land is predominantly level playing fields with boundary walling and fencing, simplifying site access and initial groundworks. Its size and flat profile make it suitable for multiple residential units or a single large scheme, subject to planning.
The parcel sits adjacent to Huddersfield New College and Salendine Nook High School, and is bordered by established residential neighbourhoods and treescapes — useful context for residential planning. The location benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, no recorded flood risk, and proximity to local amenities including shops, supermarket and public transport links, supporting future occupier appeal.
Key constraints are material: planning permission is not in place and any development would be a longer-term project requiring policy review and local authority engagement. Tenure is unknown and should be clarified early. The area records above-average crime rates, which may affect scheme design, marketing and valuations. Investors should factor in potential remediation, site surveys and community consultation into timetables and budgets.
In summary, this is a large, predominantly greenfield parcel in a suburban part of Huddersfield with clear scale and location advantages for residential or community-led redevelopment. It suits buyers able to carry a mid-to-long-term planning process and willing to de-risk the site through due diligence.
