Emerging Scheme Proposals
Jones Homes is proposing to deliver 37 high-quality new homes at White Lee Gardens, Batley.
The development will include a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, designed to meet a range of housing needs.
Importantly, 24% of the homes will be affordable homes, exceeding local policy requirements and helping to improve access to housing in the area.
Layout and Open Space
The new homes would be located in the northern part of the site, next to (and accessed via) the existing Sunny View development.
A large area of public open space is proposed in the southern section, creating a green buffer between the homes and the public footpath.
This area of public open space could include:
-
Greenspace
-
A kickabout area for informal recreation
-
Accessible routes and improved surfacing of the existing footpath to the south
-
An attenuation pond with timber viewing platform
-
New landscaping, hedgerow and buffer planting, potential allotments and a community orchard
-
Pedestrian links to the Asquith Fields play area
-
A design to ensure inclusive access for all users, including those with limited mobility
​
The open space provided will be far greater than the minimum required by local planning policy. Careful consideration has also been given to views from the adjacent Public Right of Way.
​Design and Character
The development is being carefully designed to reflect the character of the local area and promote the development of a healthy, sustainable community.
It will include:
-
A mix of house types, including two-storey semi-detached and detached homes, and a small apartment block
-
High-quality materials chosen to reflect the local character
-
A layout that promotes a strong sense of place and provides a good level of amenity for both existing and future residents
