PLANS to build a new detached house in Oxenhope met with no objections from parish councillors.

Members of Oxenhope Parish Council considered the proposals for land next to Brent Villa, Hebden Bridge Road, at their latest monthly meeting.

The applicant's agent has said the house would be located to the east of Hebden Bridge Road, in Upper Town.

A design and access statement accompanying the plans says: "The scale of the dwelling will reflect the scale of the adjacent and surrounding dwellings.

"The structure is to be clad in natural stone finish to match the adjacent properties.

"It is proposed to build the new dwelling as an eco house, built with a super insulated panel system, together with additional insulation."

The report also states that existing mature plants and trees to the north west, south east and south west of the site would remain, while there will be extra plants put in place as part of a domestic garden once construction work is complete.

The application will be decided by Bradford Council.
