Leeds jobs hope as M621 Lidl and retail park plans are lodged

Plans have been formally submitted to Leeds City Council for a retail park in Leeds which could create 180 jobs on a disused brownfield site.

Commercial Development Projects Ltd wants to create the park, which would include a Lidl store, at the former Benyon Centre by the Leeds ring road linking it to the M621 and M1 in Middleton.

The proposed scheme would provide nine retail units varying in size from 10,000sqft to 25,000sqft, associated car parking, servicing facilities and new landscaping features.
