06 June 2023
Planning permission has been granted to build a petrol station and convenience store close to Pontefract town centre.
Wakefield Council has given the go-ahead for the new business on land off Wakefield Road.
The scheme includes building a petrol station, retail building, parking spaces and electric vehicle charging points.
Access to the site will be from Wakefield Road.
A petrol station previously occupied the site during the 1990s.
The planning statement says: “The traditional purpose of roadside services has altered considerably.
It adds: “As a consequence petrol stations have had to diversify into the modern-day roadside facility that are now common place on the road networks in the UK.
