Immediately to the south of River Aire in Leeds City Centre, an area known as "Leeds South Bank", is a vital link between the traditional City Centre core and the Riverside to the north, Holbeck Urban Village to the west, the Aire Valley to the east, and Beeston Hill and Holbeck to the south. Leeds South Bank is likely to change significantly in the next few years, particularly as a result of the closure of the Carlsberg Tetley Brewery in 2011. The South Bank Planning Statement aims to provide clarity for developers in terms of development expectations, aspirations and scale of planning obligations, and for the Council in achieving its aspirations for promoting the City Centre Park, both as a destination in its own right, and as a catalyst for the reconnection of the South Bank to the City Centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Following a consultation period during September and October 2010, a revised South Bank Planning Statement was adopted at the Council's Executive Board in October 2011. The adopted Planning Statement is available to view on this page.
