The land earmarked for the homes is on Quarry Hill, opposite the entrance to Hawkingcroft Road.

Access to the site was via a proposed new entrance at 85 Quarry Hill.

While the building of the homes was acceptable to council planners, they said that highway safety was an issue and refused permission.
