Plans lodged for 170 homes on office site

Following a public consultation, Bankfoot APAM on behalf of site owners NPV Leeds Ltd, has submitted plans for 170 apartments for rent on the site of Zurich House, off Water Lane in Leeds.

The proposed energy-efficient apartments range in size from studios to one, two and three-bedroom properties.

Bankfoot APAM says extensive liaison has taken place with Leeds City Council to develop a scheme that reflects the site’s industrial heritage and its surroundings within Holbeck and Canal Wharf Conservation Areas.

It adds the proposals will help contribute to Leeds’ need for housing, as well as continuing the regeneration of the South Bank area.

Emily Myers, senior development manager for Bankfoot APAM, said: “We would like to thank everyone that took the time to provide feedback on the plans.

“This proposal represents a significant commitment to high-quality new homes in Leeds to allow a broad mix of people to enjoy city living and all Leeds has to offer.”

AshtonHale has lodged a planning application with Leeds City Council and a decision is expected later in the year.
