Yorkshire housebuilder Avant Homes is set to build 192 new homes on a 17 acre plot as part of the first phase of the Skelton Gate regeneration scheme.

Set on the former open cast colliery in the Leeds Aire Valley, the Skelton Gate development has been led by Templegate Developments Ltd, a joint venture between Evans Property Group and Keyland Developments.

Having acquired the land, the company plans to create a community of 1,800 new homes, a primary and secondary school, public open space, a local centre and a convenience store.

Subject to planning approval, the £60m development’s first phase of homes will have a mixture of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes across 15 of Avant Homes’ house designs.

Of the 192 properties, 15% will be designated to affordable housing.

As well as providing new homes, Avant Homes has also committed to a community contribution of more than £1.1m to support local primary education provision, public transport and infrastructure.

Avant Homes Yorkshire managing director, Alastair Hart, said: “This is an incredibly exciting development for us, and will support the demand for regeneration and the delivery of much-need homes in this area of Leeds.”
