The Chancellor and Leeds West and Pudsey MP Rachel Reeves has said new homes would breathe
00:07
life into derelict sites in Leeds. In an exclusive interview with the Yorkshire Evening Post
00:12
at No. 11 Downing Street, she said there could be exciting opportunities to build in the
00:17
west of the city, singling out parcels of land near Kirkstall Road and Armley among
00:22
the areas for potential redevelopment. It comes as Labour have committed to building
00:26
1.5 million homes over the next five years which could see planning system reform in
00:31
order to reach that target. Rachel Reeves identified Kirkstall Forge as a particular
00:36
area which could see new homes, with the priority for the government around house building being
00:41
to ensure that some of the projects that have been around for a while do get lift off. Although
00:45
the Chancellor reiterated that the approach to house building would be brownfield first,
00:50
areas in the grey belt could be considered, which are areas designated as greenbelt land
00:55
that are unattractive or of low quality.
