Watkin Jones Site #1, Huddersfield - April 2013

Visited with Tweek.

I don't think le boreums have been graced with the pleasures of Huddersfield very much, so I'll change that over the coming weeks.

In the past, Site #1 has been home to a large chemical works, and more recently a car park.

In 2008, plans were submitted to build apartments on the site; which were quickly knocked back by Kirklees Council.

Fast forward five years and Watkin Jones have come back with a new plan, which has subsequently been accepted by the local authority.

The buildings will create accommodation for 484 students in the area, to go with the existing 24,000 strong student population.
