Planning has been approved for 500 new homes to be developed in Wakefield.

Miller Homes is to build the new houses in Wakefield.

This is the first phase of a multi-million pound scheme which will eventually provide almost 2,700 homes in partnership with Wakefield Council on the east side of the City.

The development will offer high quality accommodation in a range of different dwelling sizes, catering for buyers on all levels of the property ladder.

The development has been designed in full consultation with the Planning Authority and will preserve and enhance the outlook and visual aspects of the surrounding area.

As part of its planning obligations, Miller Homes has also committed to constructing a £4.6m bypass, the first phase of the Wakefield East Relief Road; contributing £1.4m to local education provision; making a £250k travel plan payment; and providing a number of affordable dwellings.
