Scaled-back plans for a block of 19 contemporary flats in Armley have been given the green light by council planners.
The proposal includes the demolition of run-down Salisbury House, off Salisbury Grove.
Hyde Park-based Aslam Properties originally submitted plans for 30 apartments in two terraces back in January 2021. But following local concerns the proposals have been scaled back to one block of one, two and three bedroom flats set over three storeys.
A total of 19 parking spaces are to be provided with two accessible spaces and cycle storage.
Approving the proposals subject to a raft of planning conditions, a council planning officer’s report stated: “The proposal is not considered to have a significant detrimental impact on neighbouring residential amenity or the character or appearance of the street scene, whilst contributing toward housing delivery targets.
“In addition the amended scheme provides a suitable highway and access arrangement along with achieving policy compliance in terms of affordable housing provision, greenspace provision and gross internal floor space.”
The site was used as a former asbestos factory in the 1950s.
