Reland given go-ahead for Leeds scheme

Reland, a mixed-use subsidiary of property developer Gladedale, has been given permission to build a 1m sq ft mixed-use scheme to the south of Leeds.

Known as The Works, the scheme will be made up of 942, 000 sq ft, as well as incorporating some 18,850 sq ft of community facilities, reports Property Week.

After receiving consent, Reland will now endeavour to construct 707 homes, 267,000 sq ft of offices and 74,000 sq ft of leisure facilities at the site on Hunslet Road, which was formerly home to Yorkshire Chemicals.

Built on 7.4 acres of the brownfield site, the company forecasts the commercial property will have an end-value of around £230 million.

Furthermore, the group has lodged a planning application for Bankside, a second scheme which would be built on another 12 acres of the Yorkshire Chemicals site.

Gladedale is currently building on developments throughout the UK.
