'Come visit our team': 528 new homes unveiled in East Leeds

The new homes form part of the East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR) scheme

A new 528-home development in East Leeds has officially been opened to prospective buyers.

The Morwick Green development, just along from Whinmoor, forms the next phase of the 575-acre East Leeds Extension by Persimmon Homes.

The estate will also help to bolster the creation of a new primary school, retail park, community facility, and sports pitches to the south of Barwick Road in Leeds.

On offer are a range of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, all of which will be fitted with energy efficient heat pumps and EV chargers.

Persimmon will fund over £12 million towards the construction of the East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR) and nearly £1.5 million towards primary education in the area, as well as improvements to local bus services and travel.

Coun James Lewis, Leader of Leeds City Council, was present to formally open the new homes.
