Former Dyeworks, Green Lane, Rawdon Introduction

This Community Consultation event is designed to inform you of David Wilson Homes intention to build new homes at:

Former Dyeworks, Green Lane, Rawdon

This event is designed to provide you with the opportunity to review our plans and to give us your ideas on how the scheme can help meet the needs of the local community. This event will also provide the opportunity to meet the team who will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Existing permissions and UDP

The site does not have the benefit of any existing permissions for development. The site is unallocated land in the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) and lies within the development limit of the major settlement of Guiseley/ Yeadon/Rawdon. The site lies within the Aireborough Housing Market Characteristic Area. The site is included within the Councils Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2012 (Site No. 1308) where it has been identified that the site has an overall capacity of126 dwellings. This is based on a gross site area of 4.24 hectares and does not include the vacant commercial buildings. The Councils Draft Site Allocations Plan identifies the site in the category of sites which have greatest potential to be allocated for housing. The description states that this is a brownfield site in the urban area. There are restraints on site (large ponds mn ju8and trees) but these could be mitigated against and would not prevent the site coming forward. In recent years the site has been considered for retail but ruled out as a result of its location and harm to town centre retailing in Yeadon and Guiseley.

Proposed new vehicular access into the site which has been detailed designed by I-Transport to ensure the required visibility is achieved to meet the requirements of Leeds City Council. The existing building faade is going to be retained and sensitively converted to create a small block of new apartments. The existing stone chimney will be retained and set in an attractive new area of public open space. The majority of existing mature trees are going to be retained and respected. Only the trees that will be affected by the remediation works and the new access will need to be removed.

An attractive green and ecological corridor has been created that wraps around the perimeter of the site. The green corridor allows safe pedestrian connectivity between green spaces and to existing public footpaths. Dwellings have been designed to provide natural surveillance of the new green corridors while been set back some 45m existing neighbouring dwellings so there are no overlooking issues. New dwellings to the Green Lane frontage will be designed sympathetically and to relate to the existing properties adjacent.

About Us
We established the first Barratt property development company in Newcastle upon Tyne and grew the business steadily, laying the foundation for the growth that followed. We were listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1968. In 1972, a programme of rapid expansion followed, seeing a series of acquisitions and the creation of new companies. During the 1990s the Barratt Group grew organically, establishing an unrivalled track record of consistent growth. In April 2007, Barratt acquired Wilson Bowden PLC and today has a network of 25 housebuilding divisions throughout Britain, selling new build homes under the Barratt, David Wilson and Ward Homes brands.
