An office building in Horsforth could be converted into homes if plans are agreed with the council.
The proposal would see Springwood House, a four-storey site on Low Lane, converted into 15 flats.
Leeds City Council will consider an application for a change of use of the building.
A letter to the council from consultancy firm ID Planning said nine two-bedroom and six one-bed flats would be created.
An existing 41-space car park would be retained for use by residents.
It said: “The property itself was originally constructed as an office building. This application seeks to change the property to an entirely residential use.”
People living there would benefit from being close to Horsforth Town Street, with access to shops and restaurants, the letter said.
It said: “Low Lane is a main bus route with bus stops directly adjacent to the site providing direct public transport links to Leeds city centre and Horsforth.”
Permission had already been granted for the building of a Lidl supermarket on land nearby, ID Planning said.
