The scheme has been selected by Wakefield Council as a priority regeneration project and is supported by up to £8 million of confirmed public funding, significantly de‑risking delivery.

The scheme forms part of a wider mixed‑use vision for the area, with complementary retail, food & beverage, and residential uses planned nearby. Ion Developments have already undertaken positive pre‑application engagement with the local planning authority, with a planning application targeted for submission in Q4 2026.

Wakefield is a well‑connected West Yorkshire city located approximately 12 miles south of Leeds, strategically positioned along the M1 and M62 corridors. Wakefield Westgate station provides fast, direct rail services to London King’s Cross, Leeds, Sheffield and the wider national rail network, making the city highly accessible for both business and leisure travellers.","disclaimer":{"raw":"Disclaimer - Property reference DF3DB9C3-4D29-478A-A7CF-72E597EE481D.
