First phase of 267-home development in Rastrick complete

Yorkshire Housing’s Cromwell Gardens scheme in Rastrick includes a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership, rent-to-buy, and market-sale properties, providing flexibility for individuals and families of different sizes.

Working in partnership with Calderdale Council and energy and regeneration expert Equans, the project represents an investment of around £40m. A total of 65 homes have been completed so far.

The scheme is due for completion in winter 2026 and council officials recently visited the site to see how work is progressing.

“Rastrick is a thriving area in need of more affordable housing and this development will address this shortfall, whilst also providing opportunities for people to move into high-quality energy efficient homes."

Councillor Scott Patient, Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for climate action and housing, added: “The development will bring more choice for local families and support council priorities for thriving towns and places, reduced inequalities and climate action.”

The development includes a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, with 41 homes completed in the first phase and 127 homes included in the second phase which is well underway.

The third and final phase will be made up of 99 homes.
