Leeds public notices this week include marquee erection at Harewood House and 20mph zones
A Christmas marquee at a much-loved visitor attraction and 20mph zones in the city centre feature in this week’s planning applications.
Every week, we sift through the latest public notices issued in Leeds 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.
Tent erection at Harewood House
An application has been lodged to install a temporary marquee within the courtyard of the Grade 1 listed building known as the ‘Stables’ at Harewood House, between October 15 and March 15 annually for the next five years.
The application comes on the back of a similar approved application which has been in place at the same location since 2020.
Documents say the marquee would provide seating from up to 104 people during Christmas and winter trading season, helping to increase footfall and activity, while supporting the economic sustainability of Harewood House Trust.
Comments by the public must be submitted by Friday, November 21 and can be done so here.
