Green light for 77-home development at Pudsey site

A new residential development in West Yorkshire has been given the go-ahead.

Planning consent has been granted by Leeds City Council for 77 new homes on a site in Pudsey.

Keyland Developments Ltd, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister-company to Yorkshire Water, is leading the scheme, which has been launched to market by the Leeds office of Cushman & Wakefield.

Located mid-way between the centres of Leeds and Bradford, adjacent to Owlcotes Reservoir on Owlcotes Road, the 5.5 acre site comprises former Yorkshire Water land owned by Keyland Developments and land owned by a local private individual.

Beth McQue, Development Planner at Keyland Developments Ltd, said: “This site had already been allocated for residential development in the Leeds City Council Site Allocation Plan (2019) and the consent will now enable a housebuilder to bring forward a high quality scheme to complement the site’s surroundings.

“Our PPA agreements are designed to enable landowners of any scale to maximise the potential from their sites without incurring any risk and in this case we have been able to bring about regeneration of a redundant site and contribute to the local authority’s long-term housing targets.”

Phil Roebuck, Partner at Cushman & Wakefield added: “This is an attractive site in a very popular location making it ideal for much needed family housing.

“The housing market has bounced back strongly post lockdown and we anticipate high levels of demand from regional and national housebuilders.”
