Property Developers Target Leeds

Two private companies have submitted plans for a large-scale eco-friendly housing scheme in Leeds.

The companies Oulton Hall Estates and GMI have already secured the control of the 800 acres of land needed for the proposed scheme.

Which also includes plans to dig up the A642 Leeds-Wakefield Road and make it into a dual carriageway.

The companies purport that a giant 'bubble' sculpture will be, 'An Emblem of the new town's pioneering spirit.'

The Isle of Man-based Oulton Hall Estates and Yorkshire firm GMI Property Company Ltd submitted the plans to the government last year.

Oulton Hall Estates and GMI presented an 'expression of interest' document to the Department for Communities and the local government in the autumn of last year.

If the go ahead is granted the companies will be able to initially build 5,000 houses, with plans to increase the number to a total 9,000.

The proposed site is in south Leeds which predominately a green belt and includes the areas of Rothwell, Oulton, and Woodlesford.

The secret plans revealed that more than 9,000 homes will be built on the registered green belt land and has caused some controversy.

The proposals for the site include 9,000 carbon neutral homes across an 800-acre site with sonar panels installed on all the houses.

All the sites will also boast wind turbines, as the houses are as eco-friendly as possible.

The two companies also want to develop all the surrounding land around Oulton Hall grounds.

And also want to expand the village of Carlton to at least three times its original size, while doubling the size of the Oulton area.

Six new schools will be introduced into the designated areas, to cope with influx of young families. The new schools will include both primary and secondary schools.
