Prince of Wales Colliery, Pontefract

Summary

Spawforths secured planning permission on behalf of Harworth Estates for the redevelopment of the Former Prince of Wales Colliery site, to provide a sustainable urban extension to the historic town of Pontefract. The scheme comprises up to 917 dwellings and 20,000 m² of commercial floor space with associated community facilities and open space. The proposals were designed to achieve a sustainable, inclusive and integrated community and were informed by extensive public consultation and liaison with the Council.
