Planning permission granted for Pontefract petrol station and convenience store

Planning permission has been granted to build a petrol station and convenience store close to Pontefract town centre.

Wakefield Council has given the go-ahead for the new business on land off Wakefield Road.

The scheme includes building a petrol station, retail building, parking spaces and electric vehicle charging points.

Access to the site will be from Wakefield Road.

A petrol station previously occupied the site during the 1990s.

The planning statement says: “The traditional purpose of roadside services has altered considerably.

It adds: “As a consequence petrol stations have had to diversify into the modern-day roadside facility that are now common place on the road networks in the UK.
