This is a freehold urban parcel extending to 1.04 acres offered for sale by public auction. Architects’ drawings show a proposed scheme for 18 houses (mix of two-storey terraces and semi-detached) — planning would be required and is not guaranteed. The site was previously residential and sits within Calderdale’s Primary Housing Area, which supports housing-led proposals.
The plot benefits from an existing access road (Calder Close / Mixenden Road) and lies a short drive north of Halifax town centre, surrounded by residential blocks and some tower developments. There is no identified flood risk, and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which supports family housing demand if planning is approved.
The location carries clear challenges: the area is classified as very deprived with high crime rates and a “hard-pressed flat dwellers” local profile. The sale follows public notice/repossession and the auction format means the purchaser must be prepared to proceed with limited conditionality. Services, ground conditions and any remediation needs are not confirmed and should be fully surveyed prior to purchase.
For developers or investors comfortable working in higher-risk urban regeneration contexts, the site offers a rare large-plot opportunity close to Halifax. Interested parties should review the architects’ plans, carry out due diligence on utilities, contamination and title, and allow for planning risk, potential remediation costs and additional statutory requirements.
