Public Consultation on the proposals for
Meadow Lane, Leeds
[ About ]
Meadow Lane is a prominent brownfield site of approximately 0.18 hectares (0.45 acres), created following the recent reconfiguration of Meadow Lane. The site sits within Leeds South Bank, an area undergoing significant regeneration and investment.
The site lies at the historic gateway to the city at Bridge End, adjacent to several heritage assets, and the emerging Aire Park. The site affords excellent connectivity to the city of Leeds with several retail areas and key transport hubs, including Leeds train station within easy walking distance.
[ Our Proposal ]
Glenbrook is bringing forward proposals for approximately 246 new homes, comprising a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, within a 24-storey residential building and adjoining 6-storey shoulder building, together with a ground-floor commercial space, new landscaping and improvements to the surrounding public realm.
The development has been carefully designed in response to Meadow Lane’s prominent location at a key gateway into Leeds city centre. The taller element will create a distinctive addition to the Leeds skyline, while the lower shoulder building helps the development respond to the scale and character of neighbouring Leeds Bridge House and creates a more considered transition at street level.
The design has evolved through engagement with Leeds City Council, with particular attention given to the building’s scale, massing, appearance and relationship with the surrounding townscape and heritage. The architecture uses a strong vertical emphasis and a carefully considered palette of materials to create a high-quality residential building appropriate to this important city-centre location.
At ground level, the proposals seek to create an attractive and welcoming environment around the building, incorporating an active commercial frontage, high-quality façade detailing, new planting and improved pedestrian connections. The landscape proposals will also strengthen the relationship between Meadow Lane and Aire Park, helping connect the development into the wider regeneration of Leeds South Bank.

Meadow Lane sits immediately adjacent to Aire Park, one of the major regeneration projects transforming Leeds South Bank.
Centred around a new eight-acre public park, Aire Park is creating a new mixed-use neighbourhood incorporating homes, workspace, leisure and extensive public green space.
The Meadow Lane proposals have been developed with this wider context in mind, helping to strengthen connections between the site, Aire Park and Leeds city centre.

The scheme will provide approximately 246 new homes, including a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments.

Energy Efficient Homes – The proposals are targeting a minimum EPC B rating across all new homes.
Fabric-First Design – A high-performance building envelope will help reduce energy demand and improve thermal comfort.
