Council gives green light for 224 more homes
Wakefield-based homebuilder Avant Homes has been given the go ahead for its £60.9m City Fields development, after planning permission was granted by Wakefield Council.
Located just off the A6154, the development will bring 224 homes to the area and will feature a selection of two, three and four-bedroom properties.
Work is now underway, with the first homes due for completion in April 2020. The overall build is expected to take just over three years and will create up to 140 sales and construction jobs.
In addition to providing homes for the area, the company will also contribute £280,000 towards local transport provision and public art.
City Fields is one of 13 developments currently under construction by Avant Homes Yorkshire and it is the firm’s largest scheme to date in Wakefield. Previous successful developments in the area include The Gateway on Bar Lane to the north of the city and Redwood in the nearby village of Crigglestone.
Avant Homes Yorkshire Managing Director, Chris Coley, said: “We’re very pleased that planning permission has been granted for our City Fields site. It is in a location that is already hugely popular with home buyers and will be a significant development for us boasting our very latest design-led modern family homes and new enhanced specification.
“We’re expecting the development to prove popular with a wide variety of buyers and look forward to unveiling show homes in the new year.”
Based in Wakefield, Avant Homes Yorkshire is an operating company of the Avant Homes group, a private developer of residential property in the UK. It currently operates across 13 sites throughout Yorkshire, stretching from Godwin Vale in Stamford Bridge to Sorby Village in Sheffield.
