Wakefield Council Cabinet has given the green light to the task that will involve the acquisition of Old Golf House at Heath Common.
The proposal met with strong opposition from local residents, who accused the local authority of “intimidation tactics”.
The Heath Residents Association (HRA) and warmfield-Heath Parish Council sent letters of objection to Cabinet members ahead of today’s meeting.
A letter from HRA reads: “The Heath Residents’ Association calls on all those who have already earned the credit of the wasteland to sign up and resist this local authority’s intimidation tactics to destroy the wasteland, one of Wakefield’s crown jewels. and thus diminish the opportunities for other people throughout the region and beyond to enjoy this white, green and open space for their own intellectual aptitude and well-being.
A letter from Warmfield-Heath Parish Council reads: “As a parish council, we have conducted surveys, had discussions and interviewed other people within the network and have found out practically not for this programme.
“In our small parish we already have a number of personal sites and the official Wakefield website, we feel that we are now being bullied somewhere else that is not an unusual land and ancient monuments applicable to this area. “
Darren Byford, a cabinet member for regeneration, economic growth and property, said at the meeting: “Officers have reviewed those representations and the view is that there is an adequate legal and evidentiary basis for making this resolution today.
“A full and detailed reaction will be provided to the citizens of Heath. “
Wakefield Council has already supported plans to expand the city’s largest public passenger transport to meet developing demand.
Heath Common is likely to expand to 61 permanent locations, up from 38 currently, at a cost of £5. 8 million.
The land to be developed is lately the subject of a ban agreement.
The Cabinet report states that “the acquisition of assets in the vicinity of the Heath Traveler site” could require a public inquiry.
