Pudsey wetland scheme – plans submitted

Plans for a multi-million pound wetland scheme in Pudsey have been submitted to Leeds City Council for approval.

Yorkshire Water have proposed a major scheme to improve the water quality of Pudsey Beck and reducing storm overflows that carry sewage wastewater into the beck. 

The scheme will introduce a wetlands greenspace which will use plants to naturally treat storm wastewater on land previously earmarked for housing, off Hough Side Road. 

Plans include the relocation of an existing storm overflow and the construction of an integrated constructed wetland, a new outfall to Pudsey Beck, new access tracks, and associated ancillary works.

The wetland will be based at the disused Yorkshire Water sewage works. The land has not been used by Yorkshire Water for at least 30 years.

The scheme was first announced in September 2023.

The plans can be viewed in full here.
