The former Kellingley Club site is to be transformed with the help of funding provided by the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government, Wakefield Council, and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
The project will be delivered in phases and will include:
- the demolition of the former Kellingley Club building
- the demolition of the existing sports pavilion
- the building of a new sports pavilion
- new team changing facilities for sports clubs
- function room and bar
- enhanced spectator provisions
- new carpark
- final landscaping
A planning application to obtain permission to carry out the demolition work has been submitted, and a decision is expected 20 March 2025. If successful a planning application to carry out the new build work will be submitted later in 2025.
Impact
