Nets to 'tower over' Yorkshire village if new homes are built next to rural cricket pitch

Council planning officers at the meeting confirmed that a requirement to manage and maintain the nets in future was a condition of the plan, and that it stayed with the site via a management plan. They said the council could take enforcement action in future if the safety of the netting became a factor.

Local campaigner Mike Wood, a trustee for the recreation ground, said he and other objectors were “obviously disappointed with the general outcome” but that the decision was “a closer run thing than we first thought.” He added: “We will have to see whether Barratt continue as the site developer or if they sell it as rumoured. Whoever the developer is to be we will be watching that between them, Kirklees and our community, all conditions discussed today are properly formatted and then discharged as required.”

He thanked “all who have and continue to help” support residents and trustees such as himself but particularly local councillor Tim Bamford “who has fought our corner throughout.”
