HD postcode area
Building in
Huddersfield.
Stone terraces, mill spaces and valley-side properties.
We cover Huddersfield and the HD postcode area. For homes in the Colne and Holme valleys, access and level changes deserve an early conversation. For a mill or shared building, the starting point includes its existing structure and use.
Planning your project
Start with
the site itself.
Three things to bring to the first conversation about your Huddersfield property.
A site on a slope
For a valley-side property, record the levels at the front and rear. The place where a vehicle can stop may be a long way from the part of the building being altered.
Useful to share Photos showing the full route from the road to the work area.
Character of the existing building
For stone cottages and houses around Golcar, Marsden or Edgerton, use the Kirklees conservation resources to check the specific address and local appraisal before settling the external design.
Useful to share Clear images of the elevation, windows, roof and neighbouring buildings.
Converting a mill space
For an existing mill building, establish the current use, floor construction and shared access arrangements. Drawings and surveys help define what needs investigation.
Useful to share Available floor plans, structural reports and details of other occupiers.
Local resources
Check the address,
not just the postcode.
Postcode areas cross council boundaries. Use the property's full address to confirm the authority and any site-specific constraints.
