About the project

The Proposal

The site is located off Boggart Hill Road in Seacroft, Leeds.

The site was previously occupied by the Kingsdale Court apartment blocks which were demolished in early 2026.

The design has been developed using early feedback obtained from the Local Planning Authority via a pre-planning application.

• There is a shortage of affordable housing in Seacroft. The demand is greatest for one, two and three bedroomed homes which can be best met on this site with a mix of houses and apartments.
• The homes will use renewable energy systems, be highly energy efficient and will help reduce carbon emissions.
• The new development will also comply with planning policy on biodiversity.
• Traffic assessments will be carried out and the council’s Highways Department have been consulted. We will work hard to minimise the impact of traffic for existing residents, both during and after construction.
• Development of the site will create job opportunities, work experience placements and apprenticeships.

Benefits of building these homes

The development will consist of:

20 x 2 and 3 bedroom homes with 2 parking spaces per house.

2 x 3 and 4 storey apartment buildings providing 59 affordable apartments comprised of:

• 49 one bed apartments
• 10 two bed apartments
• 1 wheelchair accessible one bed apartment
• Car parking area for residents (32 spaces proposed including 4 accessible)
• Landscaped outdoor areas for residents.

A public engagement event will be held at:

St Richard's Church, Ramshead Hill, Seacroft, Leeds, LS14 1BX

Monday 18th May 2026

2pm - 7:30pm

This is a drop in event for the community to provide feedback. Feedback will be recorded and discussed as part of the development process and will feed into the planning application.

Before we submit the planning application, we feel it is important to make local residents aware of the proposal and to consider the views of local people at this stage. This will allow us to take into account your views prior to the planning application being submitted. 

Please note, you will also be able to comment on the planning application.

What happens next?

We will review and consider all comments received prior to the submission of the formal planning application. Once the planning application is submitted, members of the public can provide formal feedback to the Local Planning Authority as part of the statutory planning process. The planning application can be viewed on Leeds Planning Authority’s Public Access webpage and this is also where formal comments or objections can be submitted.

All residents who receive this leaflet via post will also be notified via a letter that the planning application has been submitted.
