PRINCE OF WALES APPROVED DESIGN CODE

TRANSFORMING. REGENERATING. REVITALISING.

Entrance Layout Approved Design Code (November 2014)

A Design Code was agreed with Wakefield Council in 2014 to ensure quality of development

throughout. As part of this, a green/urban square was introduced with commercial uses to frame

a square.

Significant engagement through workshops took place with a Design Panel to review the Design

Code. A community engagement event also took place in September 2014 at Pontefract Town

Hall with the public generally supportive of the proposed Design Code.

The Design Code was finally approved on 7th November 2014 which included the plans on this

and the following two boards. Residents should note that these are outline plans and that any

future detailed plans will be the subject of further consultation.

PRINCE OF WALES APPROVED DESIGN CODE

Green/urban Square Approved Design Code (November 2014)

Design Strategy - Entrance Approved Design Code (November 2014)

Instead of general employment units

(known as B1 uses) fronting onto the site

entrance as outlined in the original

masterplan, an urban green square with

retail and live-work units were proposed

at the Park Road entrance as it was

considered to be suitable in terms of

location, good access and compatibility

with phasing.

As well as including built development in

the form of retail and live-work units, the

suggestion for the Park Road entrance

included a green/urban Square.

Forming part of the approved Design Code was an updated masterplan, which reflected the

movement of community facilities and the introduction of a green/urban square surrounded by

the retail and live-work units.

This masterplan was approved by Wakefield Council in November 2014 and has guided all

on-site development since that time.
