Springfield House Woodhouse: Plans to transform listed Leeds building into student flats could go ahead

The scheme would house 334 students if permission is granted to redevelop Springfield House in Woodhouse. Heritage groups and nearby businesses have objected to a planning application from property developer McLaren for the Grade II-listed building on Hyde Street. The scheme, which would provide 194 student bedrooms and 140 studio flats, will be discussed by the council’s City Plans Panel next week.

Its objection said: “The proposal, by virtue of its form, bulk, height, massing and design, would fail to pay special regard to the historic character and appearance of the conservation area and cause harm to its significance. “The extensions are taller than the listed building and will dominate it in terms of scale.” Other objectors include Leeds Civic Trust, Little Woodhouse Community Association and nearby businesses The Faversham and The Lodge.
