Planning consent granted for 72 new homes in North Leeds village
The mixed-development, to be called Adel Square in celebration of the listed quadrangle, has a value of £55M including the care home. Tim Reeve of Advent Developments said: “We are delighted that planning has been granted and look forward to starting preparatory work shortly.
“The local councillors and community have been overwhelming supportive of our plans during the period of public consultation, recognising a sustainable use for the site is long overdue.

As part of the project we will improve footpaths and highways connections around the site, protect the greenbelt and introduce a new woodland walk, as well as enhance the habitats of local wildlife.
“It is our intention to be a considerate developer and ensure any disruption during construction is kept to an absolute minimum.
“Meanwhile, the high quality 86 bed care home will go some way to improving the significant under provision in the area.”
In a joint statement Councillors Barry Anderson, Caroline Anderson and Billy Flynn said: “The site and buildings are dilapidated and a major blight on the landscape. Advent has worked hard to meet a number of stringent planning conditions and we are looking forward to the completion of what looks like an exceptional project.”
The architects are Leeds based Keenan and Sanders.
Adel is one of the most sought-after villages in North Leeds thanks to its amenities, well regarded primary school and its easy access to beautiful countryside and to Leeds city centre.
