Castle Hill is the site of an Iron Age Hill fort and with the Victoria Tower dominates the skyline of Huddersfield. It is a loved and valued site of huge significance to the people of Huddersfield.
Despite overwhelming objections from local people and from Kirklees Council's own Conservation Team the Council's Planning Committee passed approval for building a modern hotel on this historic and treasured local site by 4 votes to 3.
Though the appeal to the Secretary of State failed has we regard this site of such historical, cultural and local importance that you should advise the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport to refuse Scheduled Monument Consent for development on this site.
