Some residents fear the plans will 'engulf' them.
Controversial plans to build a cluster of office buildings and a multi-storey car park on the banks of the River Aire are likely to be decided this week.
A council verdict on the plans was due in March, but then delayed after it emerged neighbours to the scheme had not seen a crucial report detailing the impact it would have on their daylight.Most of the opposition to the proposals has come from residents in the nextdoor Whitehall Waterfront flats, who fear one of the blocks in particular, known as ‘Building 9’, will “engulf” them.
Since then, however, the developers have deferred arguments over the size of that building to a later date. They are still seeking planning permission in principle for an office on that plot on Thursday, but the exact height would be determined by the council in the future, if approval was given.
