Elland-based homebuilder Clayton Homes has offered to pay for the construction of a multi-million pound train station in its home town
It is anticipated that the building of a train station in Elland – which would be entirely funded by Clayton Homes - will have a significant positive economic and social impact upon the town by providing it with a fast rail link to both Leeds and Manchester.
Clayton Homes worked closely with Calderdale Council’s economic development department to develop its offer for the train station and this will now be the subject of a feasibility study. Clayton Homes is optimistic that the study will conclude the station is both viable and necessary for Elland.
Jason Sanderson, Clayton Homes’ land & acquisition manager, said: “As a major developer in Elland we are playing our part in helping regenerate the town, but we also understand that for it to continue to prosper it must have the necessary infrastructure.
“The results of a study commissioned by Calderdale Council to develop a strategy to guide the future regeneration of the area - called the Elland Action Plan - clearly show that local residents want a train station, and we are aware of the benefits that it will bring the town’s businesses and people.
“A developer proposing to fund a train station is not something that happens every day, but at Clayton Homes we are committed to ensuring that we have a positive impact upon the wider community which extends beyond that created by our buildings.”
The proposed location for the train station is on the existing tracks close to the Nu-Swift International building along Wistons Lane, putting it within easy reach of Lowfields Business Park and Elland town centre
Robin Newlove, town planning associate with Scott Wilson (incorporating Ferguson McIlveen) and consultancy project manager for the Elland Action Plan study, said: “Clayton Homeshas shown a timely and positive response to the draft visionary document for the future of Elland completed by Scott Wilson (incorporating Ferguson McIlveen).
“Improving public transport links is key to a sustainable future for the community and an opportunity for the private sector to contribute to that process ought to be given serious consideration, even where this may involve off-setting obligations elsewhere.
“If the project is given the go-ahead it will be hugely significant for the town and, potentially, will unlock many benefits ranging from increased investment in the area to new job creation.”
Clayton Homes is currently developing 138 one-, two-, three and four-bedroom luxury apartments and duplex penthouses at the former Valley Mill site on Park Road in Elland. The homebuilder began to renovate the mill in July 2003 and expects to have fully completed the development by the end of this year. Prices of properties at Valley Mill range from £139,950 to £379,950.
Calderdale Council has also recently given the go ahead for Clayton Homes to develop 91 luxury two-bedroom apartments on the former Marshfield Mill site in Elland. The £17m development on Dewsbury Road will see the existing four storeys of the mill building restored to their former glory, whilst a further three storeys constructed from steel and glass will also be added. Apartments at Marshfield Mill will be available from around £119,950.
