Plans for new college at Thorpe Park
Plans have been submitted for a college building at Thorpe Park as part of a new planning application.
A reserved matters application has been submitted for Plot 3a, Thorpe Park Approach, covering the college building, car parking, landscaping and associated works.
The application seeks approval for the site's access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale.
The proposal forms part of a wider application concerning land between Barrowby Lane and Manston Lane, which would allow a college to be developed on the site.
The existing planning permission is being varied to increase the floorspace allowance for certain uses and remove references to a school or schools from one of the conditions.
The planning applications were published by Leeds City Council on September 25, with comments invited within 21 days.
Road closure planned in Roundhay
A section of Hollin Park Mount in Roundhay is set to be closed to traffic while work takes place to lay a new water main.
The closure will be at its junction with Easterly Road, with a diversion via Easterly Road, Oakwood Lane and Hollin Park Road.
The order is intended to come into operation on October 5 and the works are expected to be completed by October 25.
Access to properties and emergency vehicles will be maintained during the closure.
