Plans have been submitted for a new housing development in the Bradford district.
The application, put forward by Standard Life Trustee Company Ltd, proposes the construction of nine family homes on land off Mytholmes Lane in Oakworth.
The site has previously been earmarked for both residential and industrial use.
Developers say the scheme is a more sympathetic use of the land that better fits the character of the village.
The plans include seven three-bedroom houses and two four-bedroom properties, with private gardens, parking, and landscaped surroundings.
A new access road would also be built as part of the proposal.
Planning documents describe the design as being influenced by traditional Yorkshire architecture, with homes built from coursed stone and featuring blue slate roofs and traditionally proportioned windows.
The applicant said in planning documents: "carefully considered and high-quality residential development".
The applicant argues that the latest proposal builds on the established principle of development while offering a scheme more suitable for the surrounding residential area.
The houses would be arranged in two terraces around a central access road, with the layout designed to respect the site's topography, mature vegetation, and the presence of a gas main easement.
The homes would be predominantly two-storey and designed to integrate with nearby properties while offering a high standard of amenity for future residents.
A landscape strategy included in the application proposes retaining mature trees where possible and introducing additional native planting.
Traditional dry-stone wall boundaries are also planned.
Sustainability measures feature in the design, including energy-efficient construction and integrated photovoltaic solar panels on some roof sections.
Vehicle access would be from Mytholmes Lane via a new internal road, which the application says will safely accommodate residents, visitors, and service vehicles.
A decision is expected to be made in December.
