Councillors have criticised early plans for a housing development on a former industrial site on the outskirts of Leeds, claiming there are not enough larger family homes planned for the area.
Developer Glenbrook Properties wants permission to demolish the former headquarters of Arla Foods on Kirkstall Road and replace it with built-to-rent properties.
According to a report, set to go before the council’s city plans panel this month, plans for the site involve building five blocks of between seven and 13 storeys, containing around 618 flats, around half of which would be one-bedroom units.
