The complex, which will be built across land off Sayner Lane, near Leeds Dock, will be built by developers Citu

Green Party councillor David Blackburn suggested the concept would work in Leeds’ German twin city of Dortmund, which is renowned for its public transport network.“I’ve got seven primary schools in my ward and they all have issues with parking outside.

At the meeting, Citu representatives also promised to look into the prospect of integrating a GP surgery into the scheme, after concerns were raised about a shortage of healthcare facilities for the city’s growing population. They also said they would look to allocate some of the residential flats aside for staff at the care home, nursery and school.
