Summary

This project involved the development of detailed design proposals for a £300 million (approx) development for a 350 acre former Colliery site on the edge of Pontefract.

The Spawforths team has worked closely with the client, Local Authority and community to develop a common vision, masterplan and design code for this highly sustainable site that lies on the edge of the historic market town, adjacent to junction 32 of the M62.

A mixed use development of housing, employment and high profile leisure uses are envisaged for the site, with enhanced pedestrian links to the town centre and surrounding districts.

This site is a key delivery project as identified in Yorkshire Forward’s Urban Renaissance 5 Towns Masterplan, and Spawforths are working with the Local Authority to ensure that the final proposals build on the work that has already been undertaken.
