Barratt about a quarter of the way through  Belton Road development of 230 homes

Developer Barratt Homes appears to have opted for an odd mix of street names for its Saxon Dene development off Belton Road. Perhaps opportunity could have been taken to honour local people who have played a notable part in the community over the years. Lampkin Chase stands out.

The builder is about a quarter of the way through its development of 230 homes on what was previously farmland. Buyers so far are mainly first-timers or down-sizers and largely come from Silsden and nearby villages.

The development comprises two-, three- and four-bedroom properties with prices between £189,995 and £324,995. Still to be developed over the next two or three years are fields to the east and south of the present estate.
