The site had been within a sparsely populated farming area, within the boundaries of a conservation area, approx. three miles east of the City of Leeds.

The site, which had been allocated for residential development, was a gently sloping area of approx. one acre and benefited from picturesque views over open fields and woodlands.

The materials used on the scheme were strictly controlled by the local Planning Department in order to ensure that the development blended in with the surrounding area.

These substantial detached properties were in the picturesque village of Carlton. The purchase of the site also included the acquisition of a barn and farmhouse, both of which were listed buildings, and these were subsequently sold on by the group to private purchasers.

The development stimulated the area in many ways, one being with the local Infant and Junior School which was being ‘run down’ for imminent closure due to low population and young families being unable to purchase suitable properties in the village. The group members brought over 40 young children to the area which resulted in the School being revitalised.

The site was purchased from the Local Authority. This was one of the largest projects undertaken and the houses ranged in size from 1200 to 1450 sq. ft.

With a development of this size problems can occur both on and off site and strict control over the group membership and the building works was even more imperative than normal to ensure the development maintained the programme and budget targets. The scheme was completed two months ahead of schedule and on budget.
