An impressive 31-storey building, dubbed ‘The Transformer’, will be built at the tip of Leeds city centre’s western gateway. The tower block, which will feature 399 flats within, has been given planning permission by the city council.
It will stand off Wellington Street, specifically between Westgate and Cropper Gate, opposite the old Yorkshire Post site. It is one of a number of regeneration schemes coming forward in that part of the city.
There had been eight objections to the building from members of the public, with complaints about its appearance chief among the concerns. However, no-one spoke in opposition to the plans at a meeting on Thursday.
