Description
LAND FOR SALE- Site: Former Newsome Bowling Club, St John’s Avenue, Huddersfield, HD4
Purpose: Indicative valuation assessment based on proposed residential development plans
1. Site Context & Planning Potential
The former Newsome Bowling Club site is located within an established residential area close to Newsome village centre. The total site area measures approximately 0.45–0.5 acres and is surrounded by residential properties, providing an ideal context for housing development.
The site is defined by a clear boundary and benefits from a proposed scheme that aligns with local planning policy and the surrounding housing density. It represents a viable, developable parcel of land with direct access from existing adopted roads.
2. Development Scheme Summary
Architectural drawings prepared by Acumen Designers & Architects propose a 10-unit residential development comprising modern three-bedroom homes with parking and landscaped areas.
Scheme Breakdown:
Total units: 10 houses
House Type A (Plots 3–5, 8–10): Approx. 1,055 sq ft per unit
House Type B (Plots 1–2, 6–7): Approx. 1,055 sq ft per unit
Total saleable area: Approximately 10,550 sq ft
Materials: Regular coursed stone walls, concrete roof tiles, and UPVC windows
Additional elements: Gated, Private parking, garages, bin stores, and garden areas
This is a realistic and efficient design, consistent with recent residential schemes approved within Kirklees.
