A five-storey development with 58 apartments will be built, between Railway Street and Saxton Gardens.
The applicants, the Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association, said it was unviable to build more family-sized flats into the development and insisted that demand for smaller apartments was very strong.Although a report on the scheme outlined the council’s desire for a minimum of 20 per cent of the flats to be three-beds, this is a target and not a mandatory threshold.
“Personally I really struggle with the idea of putting something through that’s not going to meet the needs of people most at risk.”
