The City Council is preparing an Area Action Plan (AAP) which will provide the future planning framework to guide the regeneration of an area of the Lower Aire Valley. This area between Leeds city centre and the M1 and beyond is referred to as Aire Valley Leeds.
Earlier consultations
Work has been in progress since 2005 when ‘Early Issues for consultation’ was published. In April 2006, the council consulted on some Alternative Options and then on Preferred Options in 2007.
Current informal consultation
Two key changes have taken place since the last consultation:
- Promotion of the area as an Urban Eco Settlement (UES).
- Proposed boundary changes to Aire Valley Leeds - to include parts of the City Centre, Hunslet and Richmond Hill.
The attached leaflet provides details of these changes, plus emerging land uses for the area. This informal consultation runs between 14th February 2011 and 25th March 2011.
If you would like to comment on these proposals, then use the response form available on this page. Responses should be received no later than 5:00pm on 25th March 2011.
If you have any queries please telephone us on 0113 247 8184 or e-mail ldf@leeds.gov.uk
