Planning permission has been granted in principle for a new block of flats to rent close to Leeds city centre. Each flat has been designed to aid people working from home with a flexible layout, plus there's private and communal garden space on offer.
There will be 58 one, two and three-bedroom sustainable flats built on a site off Railway Street at Saxton Gardens, Burmantofts. Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association (LYHA) will develop the scheme on the site of the former Yorkshire Rider Social Club.
The development has been designed by Brewster Bye Architects. Joanna Chambers, Director of Assets and Growth at LYHA, said: “We’re extremely pleased to secure planning permission for this development, after increasing the commitment to improving green-space provision in the area, in response to feedback from the planners.
