Yorkshire-based developer Rushbond has now submitted proposals to create new homes and community spaces in Wakefield's Civic Quarter. Their aim is for the Civic Quarter to be a neighbourhood that makes a difference: bringing landmark heritage buildings back into use, creating high quality, sustainable spaces for people to live, work and meet, and adding vibrancy to an important part of Wakefield city centre.
Working closely with the local community to honour the heritage of the Civic Quarter and help shape its future is fundamental to this aim. Rushbond held a public consultation about its plans during July and August 2021, and the feedback received was reflected in its planning application, which was submitted in October 2021. There have been some updates to the plans since this submission, and you can find out more about these in the Proposals section and FAQs. Updated plans were submitted in October 2022.
