The site is conveniently located within walking distance of the local amenities in the west Leeds suburb of Armley (400m, including convenience retail, banks and Post Office) and 2km west of Leeds City Centre, accessible by a regular bus service. Gotts Park and Armley Park are located 100m to the north, offering extensive leisure opportunities including children’s playground, golf and attractive parkland.

TOWN PLANNING

The opportunity is an allocated housing site in the Site Allocations Plan (site ref: HG1-183) forming part of the adopted Leeds Local Plan.

The land benefitted from Full planning consent for 51 units (26 houses, 24 apartments and a single ‘Flat over Garage’) granted in December 2018 (TP ref: 16/04457/FU). The planning consent has now lapsed, although full details are available in the ‘Documents and Downloads’ section. Access to the site was approved from Moorfield Road as shown on the approved plans.
