Scaled-back plans to change a former Pudsey pet store into four flats have been approved by Leeds City Council.
The proposals – at Sharp’s Pet World on Clifton Hill – had been submitted by Mrs K Smith and include four, one-bedroomed duplex flats which will be accessed via Delph Hill. Mrs Smith had originally applied for six flats at the site.
A council planning officer’s report approving the application, subject to conditions, concluded: “The proposal is not considered to have an unduly detrimental impact on the character of the area, inclusive of the heritage context of the Conservation Area and the positive status of the building within that area.
“The re-roofing will benefit the building’s appearance and the residential use will be a sustainable one that secures the long-term maintenance of this positive heritage building.
“The levels of habitation for future residents is acceptable and there would be no undue levels of detriment on the living conditions of neighbours occupants. Further there are no highway safety concerns.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.

Me and my roomstes bought our pet fish from this shop back when we were at University.
Glad the site is getting a new lease of life, always good to see new homes in Leeds.
