Replacement village hall plans submitted for Ackworth community centre
Plans have been submitted for a replacement village hall in Ackworth.
The proposal is for a new village hall at Low Ackworth Community Centre on Station Road.
A highways assessment by Wakefield Council has raised no objections to the scheme.
Existing access to the site would remain unchanged.
The plans would retain 32 car parking spaces and 12 powered two-wheeler space and the council said that the level of parking already exceeds the number required for a village hall.
There are also eight accessible parking bays on the site.
It has also expressed a desire for at least 10 per cent of the retained parking provision to be upgraded for electric vehicle charging, while further details of proposed cycle storage have been requested.
site is well placed for people travelling by non-car means within the local community, although those travelling from outside the area are likely to rely on cars.
