Development in Leeds – what’s coming up in 2017?

What are the reasons behind this project?

34% of the new builds would be in inner city areas and the city centre, and on 763 individual sites. Areas such as Beeston, Armley and Hunslet would all get significant housing boosts from the plans.

Peter Gruen, Leeds City Council’s executive member for neighbourhoods, planning and personnel, said: “It is vital we get it right for the future of the city, its residents and the economy of Leeds. Providing 66,000 new homes is a challenging ambition but one in line with the city’s aim to be the best in the UK.”

Such is the scale of the proposal, it will this week be debated by a senior planning panel, then presented to the council’s cabinet for discussion next month. A six-week public consultation will be launched over the next year.
