About Dean Head - Planning Applications & Local Development

Dean Head, once a village in the picturesque Dean Head Valley near Huddersfield, was submerged in the 1960s to form Scammonden Reservoir. The area is now notable for the M62 motorway, which traverses the dam wall, and Scammonden Bridge that connects the B6114. Despite the flooding, the historic Chapel of St Bartholomew and the former vicarage, now the Scammonden Sailing Club, remain as significant landmarks in the region.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Dean Head area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Dean Head a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
