More than 80 much-needed council homes could be built despite multiple objections from people living nearby.
Houses and flats would be built on a former school site in Swinnow, west Leeds, if the scheme goes ahead. Leeds City Council is proposing 82 new homes at the former Hough Side High School. A plans panel will meet on Thursday to discuss the scheme. A report to the meeting said the council had received 106 objection comments, although some were multiple concerns from the same objector.
There is a shortage of affordable housing in the Pudsey ward, with an average of 358 bids for each home advertised in the local area. “The proposed development would support the council’s priorities of providing quality, affordable housing where it is needed and will also bring a currently unused site back into use.
