  • Leeds Liberal Democrats 10/1/17
    Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for new electoral arrangements for Leeds City Council This is the Leeds Liberal Democrat response to the Draft Recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for New electoral arrangements for Leeds City Council As we indicated in our original response, we support the general thrust and approach of the official Leeds City Council submission (which in very large part has been adopted in these draft recommendations). Most of the existing wards which were first contested in 2004 remain viable and meet the criteria of electoral equality, community identity and effective local government. Similarly, the draft recommendations produce wards which fall within the +/- 10% tolerance allowed for in the statutory guidance, and for the most part support community identity and effective local government. We would argue that this is not the case in respect of three proposed wards: Little London and Woodhouse Hunslet and Riverside Beeston and Holbeck We would therefore like to propose a number of amendments to these proposals. 1) The Boundary between the proposed Little London and Woodhouse Ward and Hunslet and Riverside ward. Leeds City Council’s proposal (which has been adopted by in the draft recommendations), proposes a boundary between these two wards comprising the railway line, Wellington Street and Boar Lane. The Council provided the following argument/evidence to justify arrangements for the city centre “There is a band formed of the office, retail, market and quarry hill that aren't as heavily residential as the north and south so there is a natural split between Whitehall Road / the Calls and Leeds (Clarence) Dock and the Park Square / North Street and more student flats around the arena in the north.

  • Late 2021 2019 Housing Design Awards Winner Carefully Crafted City Living
    On sale: Now Ready to move into: Late 2021 2019 Housing Design Awards Winner Carefully Crafted City Living Holbeck Urban Village, the long-established heart of Leeds’ independent creative scene, is a key element of the city’s South Bank, one of Europe’s most significant regeneration areas. 68 new homes made up of townhouses, apartments and penthouses are being created at The Ironworks by the UK’s leading responsible real estate business, PfPigloo, and the development represents a long-awaited step forward in further cementing the reputation of Holbeck Urban Village as a great place to live, work and play. Designed with a nod to the heritage architecture that surrounds The Ironworks – a legacy of Leeds’ Industrial Revolution - these modern, energy efficient homes are close enough to enjoy all that the city centre has to offer and just far enough away to feel more ‘village’ than ‘city’. 2 3 Townhouses, apartments and penthouses The Ironworks includes 51 one and two bedroom apartments, 2 three bed penthouses and, unusually in Leeds city centre, 15 two and three-bedroom townhouses.. Each home has its own private outdoor space, with fixtures and fittings that are high quality, good-looking and sustainable, right down to the door handles. Interior layouts have been interrogated time and again, to create homes that are as functional and comfortable as they can be. Inspired by the forge that once stood here, The Ironworks homes have been designed to make the most of natural light throughout the day. 4 Specifications: Flooring • Engineered oak

  • Leeds Transport Plan
    Transport CONTENTS Strategies and initiatives Transport links Strategies & Initiatives Leeds City Region ‘West Yorkshire Plus’ Transport Fund Targeted investment in transport has the potential to unlock significant economic growth in our City Region. Decades of under-investment means that the capability of the network has not kept pace with economic and population growth leading to problems of delays, congestion and crowding which will hamper future economic growth unless they are addressed. The Leeds City region partnership is working to secure greater local control over transport spending and decision-making, The Leeds City Deal with government was confirmed in July 2012, creating an opportunity for Rail Devolution, and the proposal to create a £1billion ‘West Yorkshire Plus’ Transport Fund’ to invest in transport in West Yorkshire and York over the next decade. In July 2014, the Leeds City Region secured £1 billion in July 2014 some of which will fund the Strategic Economic Plan and the West Yorkshire + Transport Fund, and help drive economic growth in the region The transformational schemes that have been identified for further development and investment are: Electrification and upgrade of all core rail routes Rail or tram train connections between Leeds and Bradford to Leeds Bradford International Airport Enhancing the quality of the local rail network through the outputs of the Yorkshire Rail Network Study including the restoration of the Wortley Curve to provide better links to Bradford from the East Coast Main Line, Wakefield and Sheffield Preparing the local rail network for High Speed Rail Expansion of the initial NGT trolleybus network to provide a core ‘rapid transit’ network for West Yorkshire Full upgrade of the strategic motorway network A number of Core Projects, listed below have been identified for Leeds.

  • "Statement of Community Involvement" at a Number of Stages in the Plan Making Process
    Community groups challenged the councils "Statement of Community Involvement" at a number of stages in the plan making process. I do not dispute that plan making regulations have been observed by the council. Factually however the current SCI was developed in 2007 and is out of date for the reason I illustrate below. You will note from the attached that the adopted plan policy GP9 , which is SCI specific was deleted following the direction of the Secretary of State in 2009; Yet the council continue to refer to the 2007 SCI in evidence based documents , most recently the CSSR. Since the 2007 SCI was written material changes have occurred which require a SCI urgent review. The Localism Act, Neighbourhood Planning Regulations and duty to co-operate are just three of the statutory requirements which warrant a review of the SCI. There must be a protocol which confirms how the public should engage with the Council, its elected members, and Developers at every stage of the planning process. Many people, certainly in my community, are confused by the legalistic terminology the council use on which they are asked to express a view. Complaints of "gobbledygook" language rather than "plain English" are frequently made. Leeds City Council - Consolidated list of saved and deleted Unitary Development Policies – February 2018 SCHEDULE OF THE LEEDS UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (UDP) ‘SAVED’ AND ‘DELETED’ POLICIES A consolidated schedule of ‘saved’ and ‘deleted’ UDP policies is set out in the table below. Only saved UDP policies continue to form part of the development plan for Leeds. Those policies which have been deleted no longer form part of the development plan UDP policies were originally ‘saved’ or ‘deleted’ under the Secretary of State’s Directions of 2007 and 2009.
