A plan to turn a former children's home into 30 flats is facing dozens of objections
00:06
from people living nearby.
00:08
Permission has been sought to convert the St Margaret's Children's Home buildings
00:12
on Moor Road in Headingley into homes.
00:14
The scheme would bring the site, formerly owned by the Catholic Diocese, back into use
00:19
after falling into disrepair.
00:20
Leigh City Council has received 89 letters of objection for reasons including traffic
00:25
safety and the impact on a conservation area.
00:28
Despite this, council officers have recommended that the scheme is approved.
00:32
A planning report said the site has been vacant for a significant period of time and the buildings
00:36
have been vandalised.
00:38
Far Headingley Village Society hoped a more sympathetic scheme can be proposed and accepted
00:43
as soon as possible, while Leeds Civic Society has raised concerns over the size of a proposed
00:48
car park at the site.
00:50
Approval would be subject to conditions including financial contributions towards nearby traffic
00:55
schemes and the provision of five affordable homes.
