Next phase of Wakefield City regeneration gets the green light

We’re pleased to be moving into the next phase of our partnership with Wakefield Council, following approval to enter into a Development Agreement that will accelerate delivery of the city’s regeneration plans.

This follows the pre-development agreement signed earlier this year and marks a key milestone in our role as Strategic Regeneration Partner for Wakefield.

The agreement will enable us to bring forward detailed proposals for two priority areas – Cathedral Quarter and Borough Road. These two sites will kickstart the transformation of the city centre, with plans to deliver new homes, improved public spaces, and better connections across the city. The work will support local businesses, enhance green space, and make it easier to move between key destinations like Wakefield Waterfront, laying the foundations for future phases of regeneration.

Simon Dew, Director of Development Management, said:

Detailed proposals will be brought forward later this year, with public consultation playing a key role in shaping the plans. We’re committed to working in partnership every step of the way to deliver regeneration that reflects the needs and ambitions of Wakefield’s communities.
