Approval may be granted for a housing plan that has garnered more than 280 written objections. The proposal, submitted by house builders Redrow Homes and Stocks Bros, is for the redevelopment of the former Stocks Blocks location in Garforth village, near Leeds into 241 houses on a 22-acre site. It would include new shops, restaurants and leisure facilities as well as an extension to the existing bus station. The house builders have said the development will use a brownfield site and would provide a “high level” of amenity for residents. "The development would provide a high level of amenity for future residents without compromising the amenities of existing neighbouring residents and appropriate measures are included to ensure the highway impact of the development is acceptable. The application has been recommended for approval by the chief planning officer.
