Eco-town site for sale

A planned eco-town near Leeds is up for sale after its Manx developer went into liquidation.

Plans were in place to transform the site into 9,000 carbon-neutral homes – but the UK government turned down the proposals at Oulton Hall.

Isle of Man-based Oulton Hall Ltd has put the 550-acre site on the market with a price tag of £4.65m, after buying the estate in 2003.

The company went into liquidation in 2009.

The property includes a Grade II listed farmhouse, two derelict cottages and traditional farm buildings.
