Vastint UK has received planning permission for the first homes at its Aire Park mixed-use development in the South Bank area of Leeds.
The developer has been given the green light to deliver 418 build-to-rent (BTR) homes across seven buildings on the corner of Crown Point Road and Bowman Lane. The new homes will comprise a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and will include 44 affordable homes.
Designed by Cartwright Pickard, the new buildings, currently known as R2 and R3, will be surrounded by high-quality landscaping, including woodland courtyards.
Simon Schofield, head of development north at Vastint UK, said: “We’re pleased to have received planning permission to deliver these much-needed homes to the city of Leeds. The first residential buildings are another major milestone in the future of the development and these will be the first of over 1,350 new homes within the completed Aire Park.
“We’re now preparing to start on site later this year, and looking forward to seeing the Aire Park community grow and evolve as it develops its unique identity and place within the city.”
