A planning bid has gone in for nearly 200 new homes and up to 70 ‘care apartments’ in Halifax.

Keepmoat Homes wants to create 192 dwellings and the apartments on two pieces of land in Illingworth.

The proposed site – which has been allocated for housing in the Calderdale Local Plan – consists of two sections of land.
