It'll be 'car free'
A huge “multi-generational” complex, featuring a care home, primary school and residential flats, has been given planning permission by Leeds councillors.
It’s hoped the development, inspired by similar schemes in Japan and the Netherlands where young and old mix closely, will enhance diversity in the area and encourage families to stay local. Members of Leeds Council’s city plans panel approved the development unanimously at a meeting on Thursday.The development will be car-free, barring a handful of disabled parking spaces and eight visitor spaces for the care home.
Green Party councillor David Blackburn suggested the concept would work in Leeds’ German twin city of Dortmund, which is renowned for its public transport network. He said: “It’s a dream project is this, but we live in the realities of the world.
