Details
In July 2023 the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announced our Long Term Plan for Housing. This committed to a new era of regeneration, inner-city densification and housing delivery across England, with transformational plans to supply beautiful, safe, decent homes in places with high-growth potential in partnership with local communities.
This document, published jointly with Leeds City Council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority, outlines our proposals for a decade of growth and prosperity in Leeds, including:
- A new Leeds Transformational Regeneration Partnership, bringing together national, regional and local government to deliver the Leeds vision and unlock the delivery of up to 20,000 new homes.
- Plans for transformational regeneration across 6 key city centre neighbourhoods; Mabgate, Eastside & Hunslet Riverside, South Bank, Holbeck, West End Riverside and the Innovation Arc.
- How investment in transport infrastructure will revolutionise connectivity in Leeds and across West Yorkshire.
- The importance of cultural anchor institutions for regeneration and growth in Leeds, including the British Library North and National Poetry Centre.
