Avant Homes West Yorkshire managing director, Richard Hosie, said: "As a local business, we know first-hand what a great place Wakefield is to live, with its many amenities and excellent access to transport links.

"Our objective as a housebuilder is to provide quality new homes for everyone whilst developing the communities where we build, and our plans for Lingwell Gate meet those criteria.

"Our proposed development features a mix of practically designed, energy efficient house types that will appeal to a range of buyers, including first time buyers, second steppers, families and downsizers. We now look forward to Wakefield Council considering our plans."
