Description

Lot 1 - Development site with planning for 7 detached houses situated in Bramhope village and in the heart of the ‘Creskelds’ to the north side of Leeds Road. This is a highly popular and sought-after residential location, typified by a diverse mix of detached ‘Crowther’-style homes in good sized plots, all within easy walking distance of the village amenities.

The plot has historically been garden land / woodland and is now ripe for development to create a private cul-de-sac home to 7 detached dwellings. The immediate locality is one of detached 3/4/5-bed family houses in mature plots.

Plot sizes proposed are typical of the general vicinity and the existence and retention of mature landscaping will ensure this scheme blends in with its surroundings. Certain plots on the south side are overlooked but mature landscaping proposed will go a long way to negate their impacts, and their northern aspect, elevation and the private view towards woodland compensates.

Lot 2 - Detached house for renovation in c.0.48 acres

We feel the original house ‘Bramwood’ retains fantastic potential for refurbishment/enhancement and potentially a sympathetic extension to help change the ‘aspect/outlook’ of the principal rooms in the house.

As is shown below the existing dwelling and outbuildings extend to approximately 3,500 ft² of built space and as above and overleaf we believe a sensible extension over 2 floors is possible, which would take it to a large dwelling on 0.5 acres.

A householder ‘Pre-App’ for the revised scheme was submitted to Leeds City Council in April 2025. Positive feedback was received on 1st May 2025: “If a future formal planning application was submitted for this same scheme, it is likely to be recommended for approval.”
