Ackworth Road, Pontefract

The site sits directly to the south of a recently approved residential development and to the north of agricultural land of which is safeguarded for delivery of a strategic road network. Strata are proposing to deliver 59 high quality new homes on the site, with access being served from Ackworth Road. The development will comprise a mix of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom terraced, semi-detached, and detached homes which will vary in height between 1 and 2.5 storeys; reflective of the character of the local area.

The proposed development is designed to align with the masterplan of the adjacent site to the north, ensuring a cohesive and well-integrated scheme. The built form will follow the road layout to create active and visually engaging streets. Key corners will feature dual-aspect properties to improve natural surveillance, fostering a safe and welcoming environment.

Public open space is to be integrated throughout the scheme with adjacent homes overlooking these spaces to provide an attractive outlook for residents whilst ensuring green spaces are well-overlooked, enhancing community and safety.
