Members of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority have approved proposals to invest more than £10m in delivering over 800 new homes in Leeds.

The proposals, put forward by the mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin, will see 864 new homes built across three different sites in the city.

The funding forms part of a wider £89m Brownfield Housing Fund devolved to the region from the Government.

Mayor Brabin said: ‘Growing up in a two-bed council flat, I learnt the important of having a safe and secure place to call home from a young age.

‘We want everyone in West Yorkshire to have that same opportunity, and regenerating Leeds’ South Bank will help achieve that.

‘Today’s approval of hundreds of new homes is an exciting milestone in our important work to create a more vibrant region that works for all.’

The mayor has also written to Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove, urging him to provide more local flexibility to develop brownfield land across the whole of West Yorkshire.
