A new primary care medical centre that has been mooted for Moortown has been given conditional approval, despite the site being on one of Leeds Council’s designated ‘Urban Green Corridors’.

Councillors on the North and East Plans Panel discussed the proposal for a two-storey building with car park on King Lane, Moortown.

They then gave approval for the build last week, with the final say going to the chief planning officer after the public consultation expires in May.
