Planning proposal submitted for new homes scheme in Headingley

A planning application has been submitted to Leeds City Council to bring forward a residential development of five new homes in Weetwood in Headingley, West Yorkshire.

Keyland Developments Ltd, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister-company to Yorkshire Water, submitted the plans.

The outline planning application seeks to transform a vacant two-acre site at Weetwood Crescent in Headingley, which is presently an unused part of Yorkshire Water’s Headingley Water Treatment Works.

The site is within an existing residential location with a number of houses running along the northern and eastern boundaries.

These include Weetwood Manor, a listed three storey Gothic style house comprising rental apartments, the Weetwood Court residential estate and Bardon Hall Gardens, a new housing development comprising of very large detached properties similar in style to Weetwood Manor.

Following a community engagement process, Keyland has prepared an indicative site layout of five detached homes to create a development.

The proposed scheme has been designed by Edward Architecture in accordance with Leeds City Council’s ‘Street Design Guide’ and contains landscaping provision around the design-led homes.

Luke Axe, planning manager at Keyland Developments Ltd, said: “We have worked closely with the local community and our design team to devise a well-considered masterplan for this well-connected site in the residential suburb of Weetwood.

“The five detached homes will meet a need in the local housing market and make the best use of a site which is ideally suited to the provision of new homes. As with so many former Yorkshire Water sites, it has the potential to make a valuable contribution to the locality and we are looking forward to the feedback on our application.”
