Taylor Wimpey to deliver 135 City Fields homes
Work is underway on infrastructure at Newland Grange, with two show homes set to be complete by spring.
The developer bought the land from Wakefield City Council with detailed planning permission already granted.
The housing mix will comprise two-, three-, and four-bed homes, with 41 affordable houses.
All the properties will have solar panels, triple glazing, EV charging points, smart heating controls, and wastewater heat recovery.
Lucinda Dickens, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said: “The City Fields area of Wakefield is undergoing an amazing transformation. It is a consortium site, with several housebuilders coming together to provide hundreds of homes for the area, helping to create vibrant new communities.
“The development has been designed to complement local surroundings and the homes will benefit from the latest technology in respect of insulation, low maintenance, and sustainability.
City Fields forms a 375-acre living development to the east of Wakefield, located alongside the River Calder and the Aire and Calder Canal.
It is a 20-minute walk to the centre of Wakefield and a five minute drive to the M1 motorway.
Proposals for City Fields include a town centre with shops, F&B retail options, and a medical centre.
