A planning application has been submitted to build a new ‘car free’ multi-storey residential development with 384 build to rent homes.
Designed by architects Woods Bagot, the proposed development would feature a host of green spaces and commercial units just off Armley Road near Leeds city centre.
The new urban community would be designed around the “principles of sustainability and placemaking”.
The applicant describes the exciting project as a “car free development” with “green spaces to be enjoyed by its residents and the community as a whole”.
If approved, the development would create a whopping 384 new build to rent flats with on-site management and “high quality” amenities.
The apartment block would consist of a mix of 199 one-bedroom, 139 two-bedroom and 46 three-bedroom flats, along with rooftop terraces for residents and ground floor amenity spaces across three blocks.
Externally, there would be 29,000 sq ft of landscaped areas and a residents’ terrace of 5,700 sq ft.
It is part of a wider plan to regenerate the area, with plans also to redevelop the vacant land on the southwest side of Armley Road at the junction with Wellington Road.
The site is subject to a previously approved outline planning consent originally submitted to Leeds City Council back in February 2021.
Leeds City Council’s planning committee has scheduled consultation for Monday 26 August, with any comments on the plans to be submitted by Monday 2 September.
