Permission has been granted for 99 houses to be built in north Leeds, despite residents’ claims that the plans were a “dog’s dinner”.

It follows a two-year back and forth between developers David Wilson Homes and Leeds City Council over plans to build 99 houses at Church Lane, Adel, with issues raised around affordable homes, the design of the houses and energy efficiency.

While outline permission for the site had already been granted, the latest reserved matters application seen this week – which outlines housing plans in further detail – was the eighth revision of the original plan submitted over the two years.
