Under the proposals the centre would be demolished to make way for three new buildings
Matthew Davis said: “Building like this with student accommodation allows shops to remain at street level. It also means students spend money. Blame the online shoppers, times have changed but all I can see is Leeds moving with the times and trying it’s best to adapt. Also putting students in what would normally be empty space above retail means houses get freed up in Headingley for families.”
Greg Fraser said: “What’s people’s issue with student accommodation? The centre is a failure. And can’t work in it’s current guise. Why not utilise space for student flats etc? There’s clearly a huge demand for it.”Related topics:
