HOUSES could be built on a vacant plot of land if the council agrees to planning permission.
The site off Alder Drive in Pudsey would be redeveloped into nine family homes with parking spaces and garages.
Permission is sought from Leeds City Council to build three, four and five-bedroom houses.
A design report by planning consultancy Johnson Mowat said: “All homes will be provided with private gardens or public amenity space and at least two off-street car parking spaces.
“Cycle storage will be provided where garages are not proposed. Electric vehicle charging points will be provided for each home.”
The report said part of the site was within the Leeds Green Belt, but was an appropriate place for new housing.
The new homes would help meet a growing need for housing in the city.
The applicant said wildlife habitats would be improved as part of the development.
The report said: “The habitats introduced and enhanced by the development are expected to benefit various species including bats, hedgehogs and foraging and nesting birds.”
People living in the new homes would be close to schools, nurseries and shopping centres, the report said.
It said: “The site is located within a sustainable location in relation to access to services, facilities, employment opportunities and public transport links within reasonable distance.”
