A vacant property on Grange View in Leeds could be transformed into social housing, subject to council approval.
Housing Leeds has submitted plans to convert the empty building at number 30 into accommodation with five bedrooms for social housing purposes.
Leeds City Council is reviewing a full planning application seeking permission to repurpose the structure, which previously served as a social club but originally functioned as a family dwelling.
Documentation accompanying the application outlines that the scheme would involve repurposing the existing vacant property to house between five and seven individuals within a managed social housing environment.
According to the design statement, the building would retain its residential function and would not significantly change the residential nature of the surrounding neighbourhood.
The submission notes that prior to its conversion and extension to accommodate a social club, the premises operated as a family home.
The proposal includes shared cooking and washing facilities at the location adjacent to Potternewton Park.
The application materials indicate that any internal modifications would be kept to a minimum and would be intended to establish a safe, comfortable, and practical living space for residents.
The accommodation would be administered to guarantee that it remains accessible and appropriate for various occupants.
The consultation period for the change-of-use application runs until September 10.
