A former funeral directors’ building could be demolished and replaced with a supported living complex in Stanningley – less than a month after similar plans were refused by Leeds City Council.
Plans include the demolition of the existing building and outbuildings and construction of a specialist complex comprising of 12 flats and eight bungalows at The Homestead, at Wheater’s Fold, off Stanningley Town Street.
Planning officers refused the previous plans due to concerns over the design, and other issues.

Site history
The undertakers were last used in September 2014.
In 2017 developers JM Sykes & Sons successfully applied to Leeds City Council for permission to transform the site with nine houses.
Work would include the demolition of the existing garages, outhouses and a lean-to extension, and the renovation and extension of the undertakers – called The Homestead – to provide two houses instead of one.
The proposals met with a mixed response from locals.
