Developer unveils plans for apartments at city gateway site

Proposals have been revealed for 310 studio, one, two and three-bed apartments along with communal, co-working and creative space in Mabgate, Leeds.

Developer HBD says Mabgate Yard is intended to bring a landmark development to a brownfield site within an existing creative environment.

Located on a key gateway site, close to St James’s University Hospital and the city centre, each of the apartments will be available solely for rent.

HBD says it anticipates that a hybrid planning application, seeking permission for the principle of development, will be submitted by February 2022.

Further ‘reserved matters’ planning applications should be submitted in the second half of 2022 to agree the details of appearance, access, landscaping, layout and scale.

Richard Hinds, development surveyor at HBD, said: “As a hybrid planning application, with elements of the design still to decide, public consultation is vital and we are keen to know the thoughts of local residents and businesses.

“We will then be able to incorporate these ideas and opinions in our final planning applications.

“We respect the unique character and history of Mabgate and believe these designs will sit well alongside existing buildings, but also help the area develop and grow.”
