Following a successful planning application, construction is planned to begin in mid 2021 and is planned to finish by 2023.

The proposed new council housing development supports the council’s priorities of providing housing of the right quality, type, tenure and affordability in the right places; as well as minimising homelessness through a greater focus on prevention. 

Our new build council homes are built to high standards of insulation and air tightness to improve energy performance. This helps to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and tackle fuel poverty by reducing energy consumption and running costs for tenants. 

The proposed development would also endeavour to provide training and employment opportunities to local people.  

Once the planning application has been submitted, information will be found on the planning authority area of the council’s website (link below). You will find information on how to register to enable you to make comments on the planning application, as well as how to track and register for email updates on the application.

Site notices will be posted around the application site. These notices will include details of the planning application reference number, how you can view proposed plans and the deadline for comments on the proposals.

An automated response is generated once a comment is submitted on the portal. Individual objections and comments are not responded to. They will be covered within the report following the application decision. Further information on viewing and commenting on a planning application can be found on the planning authority area of the council’s website (link below):

Traffic impact has been considered as part of the pre-planning application meetings, and the development is not anticipated to cause any major issues. Once the planning application is submitted, Leeds City Council's Highways and Travel Team will be consulted on the proposals. They will provide comments and raise any objections which will be uploaded to the public access planning website. These will be available to view once a decision on the planning application has been made.

Impact on local schools has been considered in pre-planning application meetings and the development is not anticipated to cause any major issues. Once the planning application is submitted, representatives for Education at Leeds City Council will be consulted on the proposals. They will provide comments and raise any objections which will be uploaded to the public access and available to view once a decision on the planning application has been made. 

We cannot provide comments and/or advice on property values and would suggest that advice is sought from a professional in this field if this is of major concern.

Please complete the survey or contact the Council Housing Growth Team via email: CHGT.SeacroftandScotthalldrive@leeds.gov.uk.

Please email CHGT.SeacroftandScotthalldrive@leeds.gov.uk with specific details. 

The team will aim to provide a response within five working days.

At the moment, there are no further plans to build anymore council homes in the Chapel Allerton Ward. 

Applicants will need to have a live housing application with Leeds City Council. Once advertised online, bids for the property can be placed.
