A former dairy site which has been empty for nearly 20 years will be converted into a new development with more than 600 flats - but they will set you back around £1,000 a month to rent.
The old Arla Foods building has diminished into a graffiti-laden eyesore on Kirkstall Road in Leeds since it was vacated by the company in 2004. Now developers Glenbrook have been given the go-ahead to convert the site into housing by a city council planning committee on Thursday.
A total of 618 residential properties will be created, with monthly rental costs for tenants likely to be between £900 and £1,100, Glenbrook told Thursday’s meeting. A new public and open realm space will also be created for the benefit of residents.
