Metric Property have confirmed that a planning application has been submitted to Leeds City Council for the site known as the Former BHS site, Kirkstall. The scheme will provide for a mix of shops, restaurants, on site car parking, cycle parking and new access arrangements to the site.

The application follows extensive public consultation which was carried out in July 2011. The feedback received at the public exhibition from both residential and local businesses was extremely positive and a number of amendments have been made to the scheme in light of the comments made.

These include alterations to the car park and additional public realm including a commitment to reintroduce a clock to the site. Should you wish to view the application proposals then please visit www.leeds.gov.uk and type in the following reference number 11/03274/fu. This will also provide you with a link to the Community consultation.
