Outlane: what to know before moving day
Most of Outlane is in Kirklees, but the north-western part is in Calderdale and in the Stainland and District parish. That matters for bins and council tax, so check your bill. The postcode used here, HD3, is Huddersfield's.
New Hey Road is lined with listed early 19th-century stone houses: terraces at 812-828, 886-914 and 940-944, and the pair at 771 and 773, plus Cote Farmhouse and the row at 1-7 Cote. Many have mullioned windows and face the main road, so say if the van must stop on a side road such as Back Green or Springfield. St Mary Magdalene's Church and the Methodist church are landmarks, and Outlane Golf Club borders the motorway. Slack Lane is the site of Slack Roman fort.
How the van gets to Outlane
From Bradford the M606 joins the M62 at Chain Bar, and junction 23 is Outlane itself, so the van comes off straight onto the A640. Stainland Road, the B6112, leads north from the village towards Stainland, and New Road and Round Ings Road are the other roads out. Allow roughly 25 to 40 minutes.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Outlane: questions before you book
Why is Outlane sometimes listed under Calderdale?
Because the village is split. The bulk is in Kirklees, in the Lindley ward, while the north-western part belongs to Calderdale and the Stainland and District parish. Your council tax bill shows which side you are on.
