Leeds public notices this week including plans to overturn Otley run ban

Plans to overturn a ban on admitting Otley Runners into a Headingley pub and the launch of a city centre branch of a popular cafe are amongst this week’s public notices in Leeds.

Every week, we sift through the latest planning applications submitted to Leeds City Council to bring you the most eye-catching, controversial, or significant proposals.

Whether you're a neighbour, a property watcher, or just curious about what's changing, here’s what’s in the pipeline this week.

The Golden Beam - Headingley - Variation to Premises Licence

  • Submitted by: JD Wetherspoon plc
  • The proposal: JD Wetherspoon plc has applied to Leeds City Council to vary a premises licence in respect of premises to be known as The Golden Beam, Headingley Lane, Headingley, Leeds, LS6 1BX
  • Why it matters: The application seeks to remove a condition from the premises licence that currently bars anyone believed to be taking part in the Otley Run, Leeds’ famous pub crawl. The proposal also includes new conditions aimed at managing the behaviour of Otley Run participants on the premises.
  • What happens next: Anyone with comments on the licensing application should contact [email protected] no later than November 21, 2025.
