The £9m college was approved by councillors on Thursday
Conservative Coun Dawn Seary, who represents the Pudsey ward, tried to dissuade members from giving the go-ahead to build the school. She said:"I feel the site is wholly unsuitable for the proposals and while I appreciate the opportunities and investment for Pudsey, the site appears to be made to fit rather than being bespoke. The infrastructure just isn't there to support 400 extra pupils coming into Pudsey from surrounding areas.
But Labour Coun James McKenna argued that the walk was not relevant. He said:"It seems to me that students enjoy the walk with their mates after school as part of a cultural end to an educational day." The 20 car parking spaces that are included in the plans are also"not adequate", according to Coun Seary, as it is expected that some of the students will drive to the college.
