PRINCE OF WALES APPROVED DESIGN CODE
TRANSFORMING. REGENERATING. REVITALISING.
Entrance Layout Approved Design Code (November 2014)
A Design Code was agreed with Wakefield Council in 2014 to ensure quality of development
throughout. As part of this, a green/urban square was introduced with commercial uses to frame
a square.
Significant engagement through workshops took place with a Design Panel to review the Design
Code. A community engagement event also took place in September 2014 at Pontefract Town
Hall with the public generally supportive of the proposed Design Code.
The Design Code was finally approved on 7th November 2014 which included the plans on this
and the following two boards. Residents should note that these are outline plans and that any
future detailed plans will be the subject of further consultation.

PRINCE OF WALES APPROVED DESIGN CODE
Green/urban Square Approved Design Code (November 2014)
Design Strategy - Entrance Approved Design Code (November 2014)
Instead of general employment units
(known as B1 uses) fronting onto the site
entrance as outlined in the original
masterplan, an urban green square with
retail and live-work units were proposed
at the Park Road entrance as it was
considered to be suitable in terms of
location, good access and compatibility
with phasing.
As well as including built development in
the form of retail and live-work units, the
suggestion for the Park Road entrance
included a green/urban Square.
Forming part of the approved Design Code was an updated masterplan, which reflected the
movement of community facilities and the introduction of a green/urban square surrounded by
the retail and live-work units.
This masterplan was approved by Wakefield Council in November 2014 and has guided all
on-site development since that time.
