EcoHolmes’ development partner, Connect Housing are planning to re-commence the Site Clearance work on the Chippings site on Thursday 9th July 2026. This follows on from the last tree clearance work done in March 2024.
On Wednesday, 8th July an ecologist will be on site to assess for nesting birds and any other wildlife.
Following the assessment, on Thursday 9th July and Friday 10th July, a contractor will be onsite to clear the vegetation needed for development at the site to continue. The majority of this work will be removing tree stumps, along with self-seeded weeds and shrubs that have grown since the previous site clearance in 2024.
To keep local residents informed about this site work, we have put up a notice on the site and have done a letter drop to local residents living near the site,
Once the site is cleared, we’ll be doing further investigations to enable the main building works to take place, which will see 10 affordable to rent, low-energy homes erected by Connect Housing and EcoHolmes Community Land Trust, in association with the Holme Valley Land Charity.
We will provide further details in the coming weeks about the upcoming works and associated timescales.
