    Report authors: Gwyn Owen / Helen McGrath Tel. 0113 378 7526 / 07891 277093 Report of: Director of City Development Report to: Executive Board Date: 12 February 2020 Subject: Connecting Leeds: Corn Exchange Gateway Are specific electoral wards affected? Yes No If yes, name(s) of ward(s): Hunslet and Riverside, Little London and Woodhouse Has consultation been carried out? Yes No Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Will the decision be open for call-in? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, access to information procedure rule number: Appendix number: Summary 1. Main issues Leeds City Centre has seen extensive, fast paced development over the last decade including the delivery of Trinity Leeds, Victoria Gate, the ongoing regeneration of South Bank and the redevelopment of Quarry Hill. This has reinforced the city’s position as a major retail and office location and ensured resilience across the City Region and the North of England. The continued growth of Leeds’ economy is crucial to making a significant contribution to the quality of life of people living, working and visiting the city. Alongside this, now that the Council’s Site Allocations Plan and the core Strategy Selective Review has been adopted there is significant housing growth planned in future years, up to 52,000 new homes to meet Council housing target requirements. In contrast to this background of growth across the city, Leeds’ transport infrastructure has seen a lack of investment for decades and the development of Leeds’ transport infrastructure remains a challenge if the city is to meet the ambitions set out in both the Inclusive Growth Strategy for 21st Century infrastructure and to be carbon neutral by 2030.
