A civic watchdog has objected to plans to transform a former charity shop in Burley into shops and flats.
As previously reported, 12 retail units and nine apartments could be built at the derelict site on Cardigan Road.
The building was formerly occupied by Poverty Aid, which sold discounted second hand furniture.
City View Holdings is seeking planning permission from Leeds City Council to convert the site.
But members of Leeds Civic Trust’s planning committee have registered their concerns over the proposals
In a statement on social media, they said: “The planning committee object to this application because: there are unnecessary blind walls to the side and back of the site; the application prioritises car parking over landscaping & greenery and there is a lack of dual aspect balconies for the residential part of the plans.”
The plans also include the creation of new parking spaces and a cycle store, a new bin store and alterations to existing access.
A -planning statement submitted with the application said: “The site has good access to local facilities and amenities including shops, medical centre, pharmacy, primary school and parks.”
