Plans to build 250 homes have been narrowly approved after councillors were told of the ‘heartbreaking’ loss of wildlife caused by urban expansion in Yorkshire.
The major development on council-owned land at City Fields, in Wakefield, was given the go-head despite a plea to reject the scheme. Kathryn Pybus, who lives on a narrow boat close to the site at Stanley Ferry, told Wakefield Council’s planning and highways committee how the flagship development is destroying nature in the area. When complete, a new community of more than 2,500 homes is expected to be created across a 375-hectare site to the east of the city centre.
Plans to build 135 homes on adjacent council-owned land were approved in August. Two other large-scale projects are also planned nearby. Ms Pybus said: “Local councils have a duty to preserve and enhance biodiversity if possible. Biodiversity at City Fields has not been preserved, let alone enhanced. The council would be further failing in its duty to let this development go ahead. On this site, nature is getting pushed into smaller and smaller areas.
