Forshaw Group has submitted a full planning application to Leeds City Council for a £130 million mixed-use project at 177 Kirkstall Road, West Leeds. The scheme, named New Foundry Square, follows a two-week public consultation and aims to transform a disused brownfield site into a residential and commercial hub.
The development plans include 504 apartments, consisting of 236 one-bedroom, 219 two-bedroom, and 49 three-bedroom units, with seven percent designated as affordable housing. The proposal incorporates residential amenities such as a gym, sauna, swimming pool, cinema lounge, co-working spaces, and a 24-hour concierge service. The scheme also allocates space for nine independent retail units.
The project is framed as a regeneration initiative designed to blend contemporary housing with the area’s industrial heritage. Developers highlight the inclusion of green spaces and facilities intended to support intergenerational living. The application is now under review by Leeds City Council.
