Girnhill Lane Estate Regeneration Scheme, Featherstone

Wakefield Developer Framework Panel

Sean led the bid, a competitive OJEU tender, which saw Strata successfully selected on to the Wakefield Developer Framework Panel. Strata were also selected as the preferred Developer for the first scheme on the panel at Featherstone.

The existing Girnhill Lane estate has a bad reputation for crime over the years, and Wakefield Council has gradually decanted the residents and cleared the site.

A planning consent was granted in December 2011 for 233 new homes. The development will represent an exemplar scheme for the region with all homes designed to the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3.
