Council land at Croft Street in Birkenshaw that went under the hammer (Image: Google Maps/Kirklees Council)
COUNCIL-owned land in Birkenshaw, which was being auctioned off for £850,000, has failed to sell.
Planning permission for 34 homes on the site was previously granted, but that has now expired.
The land went up for auction last week with a guide price of £850,000, but after remaining unsold, is now available for the higher price of £935,000.
The land, which is to the south of Birkenshaw Liberal Club, has a housing allocation of 28 units in the Local Plan.
