Hello from Holmfirth

Hello, 

I'm Tom, and I've just moved to Holmfirth, which is a beautiful green valley in Yorkshire. I got interested in house building when I was speaking to an estate agent and she mentioned that a nearby farmer would be willing to sell some of his land. Sadly after later speaking to a builder I was told that all of the land is greenbelt, so all but impossible to build on. To be honest that was about as far as I got, I figured at that point there was no point pursuing the matter further.

You need to look at the local development plan to see what the land is designated as. Speaking to a builder is unlikely to get you the right planning advice.

I think there are a few plots with planning approval for sale in Holmfirth. Simon Blyth were selling some I think??

Thanks tyke 

Ah OK so there are a list of designated areas that can and can't be developed? OK that's interesting. My wife really wants to live in a nearby village called Brockholes, but it's really little, and there's not much for sale! I'll have a look for the development plans near there

 

Thanks again 

Tom
