More than 360 homes set to be built in Leeds after sale of strategic site

White Laithe Developments, which is part of a consortium of landowners, has sold the first phase of its Whinmoor site in Leeds to housebuilder Vistry for the creation of 365 homes.

Planning permission was granted by Leeds City Council last summer for the creation of a new community including 2,000 homes, a primary school, and public open space. Peter Garrett, Managing Director of Keyland Developments, one of the joint venture partners, said “Completing this land sale is a significant step in the delivery of one of the region’s most significant regeneration projects. The new homes being delivered by Vistry will make a significant contribution to the housing targets of the region and it will be exciting to see Phase One take shape.”

Luke Herring, Head of Land at Vistry, said: “We are delighted to be playing a part in the delivery of this exciting new community in Leeds. Not only will the development provide much needed new homes, but the range of new facilities will benefit both new and existing residents in the area.”
