The planning approval for the project was granted by the Calderdale Council in January 2020. Both parties have finalised on the pre-planning and technical agreements for the project.

The project, designed by MHA Architects, will include the construction of 267 homes, which will feature high-efficiency boilers, enhanced levels of insulation, and time and temperature heating zone controls.

The houses will have the provisions of charging points for electric vehicles; several plots will also have the benefits of photovoltaic solar panels. The new homes will reduce carbon emission by a minimum of 10%.
