Project overview

Langthwaite Business Park Extension is an 9.45 hectare site which is planned to deliver 27,000 square metres of B1/B2/B8 floor space. It has an indicative unit size range of 900-7,500 square metres.

Site benefits

• Assisted Area Status
• Occupier incentives – business rate relief

This is a large site within an established employment location and within a Business Improvement District which West Yorkshire Police has described as the safest business park in West Yorkshire.

This project aims to create up to 27,000 square metres (290,625 square feet) of commercial floorspace on a 9.45 hectare site adjacent to the Langthwaite Business Park in South Kirby, Pontefract. The development will be known as the Langthwaite Enterprise Zone (LEZ).

The LEZ project is split into two phases.

Phase one includes building an access road up to an adoptable standard to link the site to the existing road network. It also includes preparing the site for development by remediating the land and creating development platforms upon which business and industrial units will be built.

Construction for phase one is currently underway and is set to be completed by June 2025.

Phase two involves bringing forward the new commercial floorspace for tenancy by businesses.

Through the Langthwaite Enterprise Zone, we aim to bring high quality, long-term employment opportunities to the South Elmsall and South Kirby ward of Wakefield.  This is a priority area because many of the communities surrounding the Langthwaite site are within the 20% most deprived areas in England. One small community east of the site is within the most deprived 3% in the country.  The LEZ scheme also seeks to contribute to tackling the climate emergency by considering risk factors to the natural environment – such as flooding and disturbance to the local biodiversity – and building mitigation of these risks into the construction programme.

This project was approved to enter the delivery stage at the Combined Authority Committee meeting held on 27 July 2023 with a total budget of £12,678,000.
