\n The land off Croft Street has been earmarked for 21 homes and backs onto Birkenshaw Liberal Club.\n<\/p>\n
\n The site is described as a \u201cheavily-vegetated\u201d vacant plot, previously housing a bowling green and allotments.\n<\/p>\n
\n The new two-storey properties would be a range of two, three, and four bedrooms and be accessible from Old Lane via Croft Street. The plans also feature a new car park and beer garden for the liberal club.\n<\/p>\n
\n A total of 41 comments have been received in response to the application from members of the public, with 29 of these in objection, seven general comments, and five supporting comments.\n<\/p>\n
\n One resident wrote: \u201cThe village is already being overdeveloped and becoming crowded; it does not have the infrastructure or facilities to sustain this level of development.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Another said: \u201cI think this development is a great addition to the area. It will provide better footpaths, car parking and lighting and make the area safer.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Kirklees Council officers have recommended that the plans be approved subject to several conditions.\n<\/p>\n
\n The committee meets next Thursday.\n<\/p>\n
