Plans to build a new block of student flats close to the University of Leeds’ main campus have been unanimously approved.
Developers Torsion will build 183 apartments on Burley Street, close to the city centre, after demolishing a row of former shops between numbers 16 and 22 to make way. The flats will be built across a new block that will slope from six storeys on one side, to eight on the other. The proposals were backed by all councillors on Leeds’ city plans panel after a brief discussion on Thursday.
He’d expressed concerns about the size of the studio flats, most of which will be around 20 metres squared, as well as the design of the building. Although the size of the flats remain unchanged and Councillor Campbell suggested the amount of green space linked to the development was “woefully inadequate”, he echoed Coun Cohen’s remarks. He told the meeting: “I didn’t like the original application and I’m still not sure about the intensity of development on site, but that’s bye the bye.
