Caddick Developments has received a unanimous resolution to grant planning approval from Leeds City Council for a new 2m sq ft mixed-use neighbourhood in Leeds.
The company has rebranded the scheme – which was previously called City One – as ‘South Village’ to reflect its location in Leeds’ South Bank area.
The ‘contemporary urban village’ could provide up to 1,925 homes, 650,000 sq ft of commercial space and significant public realm, all centred around a curated ‘village green’.
Lee Savage, director at Caddick Developments, said: “South Village will offer a revolution in city-centre living, transforming this strategically located brownfield site into an ambitious and accessible new neighbourhood. Our proposals are incredibly exciting, having been designed to provide bold, modern architecture, significant public space and enhanced connectivity between Holbeck and the city centre.
“As we work towards submission of a detailed planning application, we will continue to collaborate closely with key partners and the community to bring forward a vibrant new chapter for this part of the South Bank.”
Johnny Caddick, from Caddick Group, added: “We’re delighted to have received the resolution to approve from Leeds’ planning committee for this transformational new development. South Village is set to redefine contemporary urban living in Leeds, offering all the amenities of a traditional village, while being located in the heart of the city centre.
“Perfectly suited to modern patterns of living and working, South Village has been carefully designed to provide significant public realm and community space, promote active lifestyles and connectivity, and ultimately enable the creation of a dynamic, multi-generational community.”
