Around 129 homes, including affordable homes, will be built near Rothwell as part of a £44m development Yorkshire News

Located on Main Street, close to Swithens Farm and Oulton Hall, the new development received planning approval from Leeds City Council in March 2022.

The statement added: “As well as providing high-quality housing in Carlton, Avant Homes also plans to contribute £1.9m towards local public transport, provision of roads, open green space and a fund for travel schemes. About 15 percent of the proposed homes will be dedicated to affordable housing.”

Work is expected to begin on the Carlton site this summer and the development will include a mix of one, three, four and five-bedroom homes in 14 home designs.

The homes are expected to go on sale in August with the pilot home to follow in early 2023. The first homes are expected to be ready for occupancy in the spring of next year with the development estimated to take around three and a half years.

Avant Homes Yorkshire, Managing Director, Alastair Hart, said: “There is real demand for high quality new build homes in South West Leeds and at Avant Homes we have a strong and ambitious growth strategy to meet the needs of buyers from today.

“Carlton and Rothwell are sought after locations and we are very pleased to have acquired this land to offer a highly desirable development for buyers. We expect preliminary work to get underway by the end of this summer.”
