Redrow Homes Yorkshire has come under fire from Leeds city council for its handling of the sale of a home to an elderly couple who had been living in it since they were children. Councillor Neil Walshaw criticised what he saw as Redrow's limited range of architecture, calling the designs "bog standard" and "incredibly disappointing". The report added: “Redrow have advanced a scheme with more traditionally designed house types, within a basic design framework that has worked well elsewhere in the city.” A spokesperson for Redrow said: "quality architecture doesn’t have to be contemporary, it doesn’t have to be traditional." Redrow wants to build 271 homes at the site, which is near the M1. A full application for the development has yet to be submitted.
