Developer turns to off-site timber frame construction for Batley development

Developer Keepmoat is investing more than £52m into a housing regeneration scheme at disused land off Soothill Lane in Batley – regenerating 30 acres of land.

The 319-strong development, named ‘The Orchards’, represents a multimillion pound investment into the regeneration of the West Yorkshire town, which has already benefited from one phase of development – 300 of the 319 homes will be delivered using modern methods of construction, with the entirety of the site planned to be built using prefabricated timber frames.

The second phase of the development will create a further 234 homes, delivering affordable properties with support from local housing provider Incommunities, Leeds Federated and Kirklees Council.

The start on site for phase two of the regeneration project is scheduled just weeks after the first phase was shortlisted for ‘Project at the Year’ at the National Building and Construction Awards.

Chris Clingo, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire West, said: “We’re thrilled to be continuing delivery under our strategic partnership model to build quality, sustainable homes for the latest phase in this regeneration project.
