Initial plans for a £350m mixed-use scheme that would include Leeds’ tallest tower have moved a step closer to becoming reality after receiving a major planning boost following a decision by city planners to approve the project in principle.
Leeds City Council agreed that the pre-planning plans for the South Bank project, which is being developed by Commercial Estates Group (CEG), are ‘acceptable in principle’. It also backed the proposed phasing of the development.
But the committee said that the scheme project would require more public realm access, including a new public route along the disused railway viaduct in the area, while more affordable homes were needed as part of the residential element of the development.
