Wakefield Council commissioned Woodhall to prepare Heritage Impact Assessments, for a number of potential site allocations as part of their Draft Local Plan 2036.  The assessments followed the 5 step methodology set out in the Historic England Advice Note 3: The Historic Environment and Site Allocations in Local Plans and the work was carried out in close consultation with both the Council and Historic England.

Planning and Listed Building Consent has recently been granted for the redevelopment of a site between the Bonus Arena and the A63, including two Grade II listed buildings which have been vacant for a number of years.  Castle Buildings will be refurbished and converted for A3/A4/B1 Uses and the Earl de Grey Public House will be demolished and partially reconstructed to the east of Castle Buildings, with a new extension linking the two listed buildings.    A new nine-storey hotel will be constructed to the east of listed buildings, with new public realm.  Woodhall provided historic buildings advice and prepared the Heritage Statement for the scheme.
