Housebuilder Avant Homes has submitted plans to deliver a £70m multi-tenure development comprising 314 new build residential properties in Elland.

Called Coppice Quarter and located off Exley Lane, the proposed 27-acre development will comprise a mix of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes.

The development will feature 14 of Avant Homes’ practically designed, energy efficient multi-tenure house types and, of the 314 properties, 20 per cent have been designated to affordable housing.

If given the go ahead by Calderdale Council, work at the development is expected to start in December, with the first residents anticipated to move into their new homes in July next year.

Avant Homes North Yorkshire managing director, Matt Oldfield, said: “We are very pleased to have submitted our plans to deliver a multi-tenure residential development for Elland.

“Our objective as a housebuilder is to provide quality new homes for everyone in places where people want to live that will create long-lasting sustainable communities.

“Coppice Quarter has been designed according to those criteria and will provide people with practically designed, energy efficient homes at a range of price points in order to make them more accessible. We now look forward to Calderdale Council considering our plans for the development.”

Subject to planning, Coppice Quarter will be delivered by Wetherby-based Avant Homes North Yorkshire which currently has six live developments ranging from Greensward Point, Easingwold to Strawberry Fields, Carlton.

Avant Homes North Yorkshire is part of the Avant Homes Group, whose house types are ideal for the private, rented and affordable sectors, which operates across the north of England, Midlands and Scotland from eight regional operating businesses.

At present, Avant Homes Group employs more than 600 people. The housebuilder’s ambition is to develop its multi-tenure business further across its existing regions and beyond, creating communities as well as providing employment opportunities.

Avant Homes Group is also committed to its environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities in line with its vision to construct and sell “quality homes, for everyone”.

The housebuilder’s ESG strategy recognises its obligations to all stakeholders to deliver a sustainable future. Avant Homes’ house types are significantly more energy efficient compared to existing housing stock and appeal to a wide range of customers with different affordability requirements.

Each of Avant Homes’ developments provides a safe place for employees and sub-contractors to work as well supporting its supply chain. The housebuilder creates communities in places where people want to live.

Avant Homes is committed to securing sustainable growth through private for sale, private rented (PRS) and additional affordable housing.

This better serves customers and communities, particularly where the cost of living has increased and affordability is stretched.

Avant Homes has invested in the internal expertise to develop and deliver strategic relationships with PRS investors as well as affordable housing providers.

The Group recently announced the sale of 306 new homes across eight developments to a leading private rented housing provider, Sigma Capital Group, for over £59.5m.

Four of the developments are in north east England, two in Yorkshire with the balance in the East Midlands. This significant PRS transaction demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver a significant volume of quality new homes to a major PRS investor.

For the year ended 30 June 2023, the Avant Homes Group delivered 1,766 completions.
