Plans to transform an empty floor of a building opposite Pudsey Cenotaph into two flats have been approved by Leeds City Council.
The plans, at number 11-15 Chapeltown, will convert the first and second floors of the property into two one bed flats, including some external and internal alterations to the building.
The area previously provided toilet and ancillary accommodation for number 9 Chapeltown, which operated as a sports bar and club next door until July 2024.
A design report submitted with the application said: “It is considered that this proposal will provide a positive viable use to what is currently vacant space, in a prominent location on a major thoroughfare through the town.
“Upon completion the development will provide a positive contribution to the streetscape and local area, adding to the vitality and sustainability of the town centre, whilst having no detrimental impact on the neighbouring properties or the area as a whole.”
A planning officer’s report approving the proposals concluded: “It is considered that the proposed development is acceptable and is compliant with planning policy and guidance.”
The plans, which also include internal and external alterations to the building, can be viewed in full here.
Works have recently been carried out to convert former ground floor shops at 11-15 Chapeltown into two new flats.
