Under the £15m planned development, which could take 10 years to be built, all the Northgate hospital buildings would be knocked down and replaced.

WGSF has drawn up plans for a sports hall, swimming pool, performing arts facility, outdoor sports areas and additional teaching space at the site.

The public can leave their thoughts on the proposal on the Wakefield Council planning portal website until Friday, August 5.
