Work gets underway on hundreds of new homes in Leeds

Work is underway on the latest phase of the East Leeds Extension – one of the region’s largest infrastructure projects that could see up to 5,000 new homes built.

Housebuilder Persimmon was joined by Councillor Jessica Lennox, Executive Member for Housing at Leeds City Council to formally welcome start of work on the site.

Persimmon’s Wellington Mount development located next to Red Hall Lane, forms part of the 233 hectare East Leeds Extension stretching around the edge of Red Hall, Swarcliffe, Whinmoor and Crossgates.

407 new homes will be delivered on this site with a mix of both 1 and 2-bedroom apartments and 2, 3 and 4-bedroom houses.

All of the new homes will be equipped with Air Source Heat Pumps and electric vehicle chargers.

Councillor Jessica Lennox, Executive Member for Housing at Leeds City Council, said: “It’s good to see work beginning on these new homes after a long period of planning and consultation with the East Leeds community and us local councillors. I’m looking forward to seeing this new, green, well-connected neighbourhood develop.”

Christopher Hull, Managing Director of Persimmon West Yorkshire, said: “We’re delighted to be on site and selling homes at Wellington Mount.

“The East Leeds Extension is a truly exciting project and we’re proud to be working with the Council to provide much needed new homes for local people, set amongst outstanding green and open spaces.

“There’s a wide range of homes to choose from, so would encourage any local homebuyers to come visit our on-site sales suite to find the right property for you.”
