Planning green light for more than 200 homesMiller Homes Yorkshire confirms planning permission has been granted for the latest phase of the City Fields development, in Wakefield.The Avenue at City Fields will bring 202 new homes to the regeneration scheme which has already delivered almost 1,000 homes by the housebuilder at its City Fields, The Woods, The Gables and The Lodge developments which are located across the City Fields site.Debbie Whittingham, sales director, Miller Homes Yorkshire, said: “This is a particularly exciting phase for us as these latest homes fall under the new Part L regulations which sees 98 of the 202 plots benefit from solar panels with the rest benefiting from either Wastewater Heat Recovery Systems or Flue Gas Heat Recovery Systems.“These latest regulations bring added benefits for homeowners choosing to buy new as it positively impacts on energy bills and carbon footprints.”In addition to the benefits to homeowners, the local community will benefit from almost £600,000 of Section 106 contributions as part of a planning agreement with Wakefield Council.£460,530 will be given towards education, £30,704 to public art and £104,979 to a local travel plan.Whittingham added: “We have been proud to have been part of the City Fields community for over six years now and look forward to this next chapter.“A range of three, four and five-bedrooms homes will be available, and we anticipate that we will open our doors for sale during September.”
