A developer hopes to press ahead with plans to build hundreds of new flats after applying for permission from the council.
The scheme would create 385 apartments on land next to Armley Gyratory.
Leeds City Council has received a formal planning application for the project, following early-stage talks with UCR Leeds Ltd. The site is near the junction of Wellington Road and Armley Road.
A design report said improvements had been made to the proposal, including bigger public spaces for people living there.
Three blocks of apartments, two of them connected, would be built as part of the project, designed to be car-free with limited parking spaces, UCR said.
The report said: “Formal pre-application advice was sought and informed the design development in a positive way.”
The site was previously used for housing up until the mid 20th century, the report said.
It said: “The site in the late 1800s consisted of streets of terraced housing, serving workers in the nearby mill and adjacent railways.
“Post-war slum clearances led to the removal of these streets, to be replaced with a car mechanics.
“Further industrial decline led to the site becoming a surface car park.”
Well, this will stink.
