Planning permission granted for warehouse on land earmarked for Wakefield community stadium
Wakefield Council's planning committee this morning voted on an application to build a controversial Kitwave development on the land off Newmarket Lane in Stanley, four months after councillors first voted to reject the plans.
A reporter from the Express, who attended the meeting this morning, tweeted that 10 councillors had voted in favour of the application. Two voted against, and one abstained from the vote.
