New Leeds ‘town’ gets funding go-ahead

Need To Know West Yorkshire

Available for over a year

Funding has been secured for plans to create a new urban village in Leeds, that will include 2,000 homes. Government regeneration agency Homes England will provide £16m to development group Caddick for the Leeds South Village project on the city's South Bank. The "new town" does not yet have a defined boundary, but if plans go ahead, it would stretch from Holbeck to Leeds Dock. Image Credit: Caddick Developments
