The £19m scheme, which will create up to 1,000 jobs, stalled in January after Wakefield Council’s planning committee deferred a decision after concerns were raised over flood risks and whether the drainage was adequate.

Peel Holdings and investment partner Gladman Developments have now been given permission to build 10 two-storey office buildings at the business park, off Denby Dale Road.

Nick Hey, construction project director at Peel, said: “This planning application follows hot on the heels of Gladman’s successful phase one and phase two development and reflects their confidence in Calder Park as a great business location.

“We are delighted that Gladman are investing further at Calder Park.

“The development will offer further high-quality office accommodation with on-site car parking, set in an attractive courtyard environment.

“Despite the current economic climate, this additional investment strengthens Calder Park’s position as the fastest-growing business park in the region.

“It is the number one choice for occupiers looking for city centre quality office accommodation, but with the added benefits of an out-of-town location like reduced commuting and intercity travel times, hassle-free access to motorway networks and a working environment that is second to none.

“Calder Park is going from strength to strength with more than 45 businesses and 1,000 people already working on site.”
