Planning secured for North Leeds housing development

Planning has been given for a housing development in the North Leeds suburb of Adel.

The scheme, which will comprises 42 houses, has been designed by Brewster Bye Architects with Indigo Planning advising on the planning application.

The site is located on Dunstarn Lane and was originally part of a large villa known as The Heath, which has been divided into smaller plots of land in recent decades.  It also includes a large area of woodland that is being incorporated into the new development.

There will be a mix of three, four and five-bedroom family homes, as well as a smart two-bedroom gatehouse.

Omar Al-Nujaifi from Leeds property company YPP says: “Adel is one of North Leeds’s most sought after residential areas and there is a shortage of high quality, new homes being built locally, so we’re looking forward to starting work on this development.  We really wanted to maximise the site’s natural characteristics, in order to differentiate it from the majority of new-build developments.

“As a result, the whole scheme will have a very green and leafy feel, with lots of open space, pathways and landscaped areas.  Most homes will also benefit from large back gardens that are bordered by the site’s existing perimeter trees.

“Building 14 houses specifically for the affordable market will also enable a number of local people, who might otherwise struggle to buy their own home in this part of Leeds, to take their first step on the property ladder, which is an exciting prospect.”
