Leeds City Council Site Allocations Plan Examination Matter 7
Leeds City Council Site Allocations Plan Examination Matter 7: Selection of sites allocated for development – East: Main Issue 1 Main Issue 2 Additional Site Specific Questions Doc No. M7/1c Leeds Local Plan Page 1 of 14 Main Issue 1: For each Housing Market Characteristic Area, are the individual sites selected sound? 1 Are the selected sites justified having regard to the site selection methodology and process, paying particular attention to the deliverability of the allocated sites? 1.1 Yes. The Council’s response to Matter 6 details the overall site assessment and selection process used for allocation of sites in the Plan. The Council considers that this approach is the most appropriate in terms of meeting CS aims and objectives for the MD as a whole and that the selection of sites is justified. This response to Matter 7 sets out how the overall methodology and process has applied in the East HMCA. It highlights the specific characteristics of and evidence relating to East and notes whether there are any specific issues arising. 1.2 Further to paragraph 3.3 of the Submission SAP CD1/1, East has the largest housing target set out within the Core Strategy, a target of 11,400 new dwellings equating to 17% of the overall housing requirement. East is an area of contrasting character areas reflective of its location sandwiched between the Inner area of Leeds and the outer rural areas of the Outer North East, Outer South East and Outer South, most of which is Green Belt. A significant amount of housing within East Leeds is post-war Council-built housing, focused around areas such as Whinmoor, Stanks and Swarcliffe. -

Gipton and Stanks Business Case
Appendix 7 Gipton and Stanks Fire Station Business Case At a Glance - the Key Points for this Proposal Proposal: The construction of a new fire station to replace Gipton and Stanks fire stations and removal of 24 fulltime posts from the establishment by way of planned retirements. Key Points: Gipton is classed as a very high risk area and Stanks as medium risk area. Stanks fire station is poorly located at the outer edge of the local community and access/egress from the site is problematic. In the 5 year period between 2004/5 and 2009/10 operational demand in these areas reduced by 28% (there has been a reduction of 61% of serious fires) . 2 WYFRS has piloted a new type of vehicle (Fire Response Unit) to deal with smaller fires and incidents to free up fire appliances to respond to more serious emergencies. The pilot has been successful and it is believed that a District based Fire Response Unit will handle in the region of 3,000 calls per year. The new fire station would have lower running costs. The two Killingbeck fire appliances would be supplemented by a Resilience Pump for use during spate conditions. Targeted community safety and risk reduction work would continue. 2 1. Foreword 1.1 This proposal forms one of a number of similar initiatives developed by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) as part of its plans for the future provision of a highly effective and professional Fire and Rescue Service. 1.2 Each proposal is based on sound and comprehensive research, using real data from past performance and predictions of future demand and risk. -
