The Knottingley masterplan

We're investing in Knottingley. This will help revitalise the community and invest in its future. Reshaping it into a vibrant town centre.

We’re working with local residents, businesses, and partners. To meet the Knottingley and Ferrybridge community's needs and preferences.

The Knottingley and Ferrybridge Masterplan is an ambitious plan. It set out plans to regenerate both towns over the next 15 to 20 years.

This is part of the Knottingley Action Plan. The plan includes over 90 projects to achieve the shared Knottingley Vision. For residents and businesses, developed in partnership with the Council.

A public consultation took place in late 2020. Results can be read online or downloaded here.

The Council's vision is for the district to be a thriving place. Where people, businesses, and visitors are welcome. Our economic strategy prioritises making town centres diverse and revitalised.

The masterplan proposes a new Special Policy Area and major employment site to the south of the town. The Masterplan proposes building a new road, 2,600 homes. Around 855,000 square meters of workspaces. And more natural areas for people to enjoy.

These plans meet the proposals outlined in the Knottingley and Ferrybridge Masterplan. As part of the new Wakefield Local Plan 2018-2036.
