A new housing development with 875 new homes will be built in the east of the city.
Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon Homes have been given the go-ahead to start the project. The developers have received outline planning permission for the development of two, three and four-bedroom homes in the East Leeds Extension (ELE) from Leeds City Council.
Of the new homes, 15 per cent will be allocated as affordable housing. An on-site greenspace with play facilities has also been confirmed as part of the contributions along with a residential travel plan to encourage the use of sustainable travel modes by residents and also contributions towards local educational facilities.
