Arthur's Fold Manor Road ARTHUR’S FOLD MANOR ROAD HOLBECK - LEEDS CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DESIGN PHILOSOPHY WELCOME TO LEEDS SITE LOCATION INFORMATION FLOOR PLANS WELCOME TO ARTHUR’S FOLD, MANOR ROAD Citylife’s Vision is to create a high quality and visually striking building on this small but significant site within Holbeck Urban Village. The site sits at the end of both David Street and Siddall Street, and therefore will provide a focal point for people moving within the area. This creates a need and opportunity to be bold in terms of architectural form and language, helping to enhance the emerging character of Manor Road. The development has been designed for the Build to Rent market, and provides 101 apartments (mix of 4 3-bed apartments, 20-bed, 49 1-bed and 28 1-bed suites), together with resident amenities at Ground Floor. The proposed mix of unit types will cater for the younger professionals that live and work in the area. The site is extremely well located within the city centre; a 5 minute walk to the train station’s new southern entrance, and to the city beyond. Holbeck Urban Village also provides additional amenities for residents with the growing number of cafes, bars, deli’s, and restaurants. It is also ideally suited to benefit from the significant investment and employment associated with Burberry’s arrival in Holbeck Urban Village. This highly sustainable context has led to Citylife proposing a car-free development for the site, and this approach also allows a large proportion of the site at ground level to be given over to form a generous (and direct) pedestrian link between Siddall Street and Manor Road. Architecturally, the form and materials reflect the site’s incredible industrial heritage. For decades the site was home to a highly specialised steel fabrication company that is one of only two companies in the whole world that provide a particular lining to the Oil Refinery process. The folded metal facade of the building pays homage to the historic fabrication process, and provides a strong contrast to the Manor Mills development next door. A bronze colour has been chosen for the cladding, to help the building sit comfortably within the current and future context where the pre-dominant material will be red brick.

  • 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.
