Plans for the dilapidated and dangerous former Theaker Lane clinic site in Armley will be on the agenda of the next Armley Forum public meeting.
The most recent proposals to demolish the former clinic and build 18 apartments on the site were submitted to Leeds City Council for approval in July 2022 – but the plans are still awaiting a final decision.
The derelict site, on Theaker Lane, off Armley Town Street, has sat empty for many years and has been subjected to vandalism, arson and anti-social behaviour. It’s been branded locally as an ‘eyesore’. Council planning officer Michael Doherty will provide an update on the latest developments at the site at the meeting.
Previous unsuccessful plans for the Theaker Lane clinic site include a 22-bed hostel with six kitchens in 2016. The building was subject to an arson attack in 2018, dubbed at the time by Leeds West MP Rachel Reeves as a ‘wake up call’ for Leeds City Council to properly secure the building.
Other agenda items include an update on Armley Town Street developments from highways officer David O’Donaghue, as well as the regular crime and housing updates.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, 19 March 2024, 7pm at Armley Hub. All welcome to attend.
