Leeds railway depot being turned into 147 new build estate

A housebuilder has got planning permission to build 147 new homes in an area of Leeds.

Gleeson Homes got the green light to build on Waterloo Sidings, a new development in Halton Moor. The 16-acre brownfield site will provide housing comprising of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bed properties, 10 of which will be allocated for affordable housing.

Waterloo Sidings, formerly a railway goods siding has been chosen for its good commuting links, only three miles from Leeds city centre. The site was purchased from Network Rail and Leeds City Council. Despite it requiring extensive remediation works prior to development, Gleeson hopes to open show homes in Summer 2024.
