Next step for Wakefield’s City Fields
Plans for 80 homes on 18-acres of council-owned land are set to be approved in the latest stage of the city’s 375-acre urban extension to the east of Wakefield.
Spawforths acted as planning consultant for the application and TPM as landscape architect, which focuses on land accessed via Neil Fox Way.
Developers that are delivering housing in the scheme include Barratt, Miller Homes, Bellway, Countryside, Avant, and Redrow. The key landholders are the council, Keyland, Stretton Estates and the City Fields Housing Consortium.
Plans include associated parking, garages, drainage infrastructure, public open space, a play area, and pedestrian and cycle access. Sixteen of the houses will be affordable.
The land is currently open grassland and woodland, and is located in the middle of the wider City Fields development.
In total, there are eight parcels of land that make up the City Fields project, each of which will be submitted in a number of separate planning applications.
