A derelict Georgian mansion in Leeds is set to be brought back into use as a care home
00:06
after planning permission was granted. Burley House is currently vacant and boarded up,
00:11
but it will be converted by care provider Embracing Independent Lifestyles.
00:16
The redevelopment of the Burley Road property will see it turned into a round-the-clock
00:19
care facility for up to 11 residents aged 18 to 65.
00:25
Leeds City Council approved a planning application for the scheme, and a planning report said
00:29
the project would not harm the character of Burley Village Conservation Area.
00:34
The applicant said restoring the dilapidated building previously used as a nursing home
00:38
would help reduce crime and vandalism.
00:41
A heritage report said the mansion was the 19th century home of John Smith, a city banker
00:45
and philanthropist who carried out alterations to the building.
00:50
It's thought to have been built by the Goodman family, who would have occupied ornate and
00:54
spacious rooms in the mansion, while servants lived upstairs.
