Wakefield Kirkgate Station
Conservation Management Plan to inform future development
Location:
Wakefield
Client:
Network Rail
Building Period:
19th and 20th Century
We prepared a Conservation Management Plan to support an application for Listed Building Consent and planning permission as part of an anticipated conservation-led regeneration of Wakefield Kirkgate Station. Our report will enable a thorough understanding of the site’s regional context and development and its capacity for managed change.
Our recommended conservation principles and design proposals will also provide a foundation from which to address the station’s outstanding conservation issues and rejuvenate its buildings to meet the needs and expectations of a modern and expanding railway in the 21st Century.
