Developers want to knock down an eyesore inner city building in Leeds to build a massive apartment complex.
Brownfield site Mabgate Yard, close to Regent Street and Leeds Playhouse, has been targeted by building firm HBD.
Plans involve building 310 high-quality studio, 1, 2 and 3 bed flats as well as a 'communal, co-working and creative space'.

Landscaped outdoor areas and extensive planting are also in the firm's plans for the derelict area.
HBD is currently looking for feedback from the community, with assurances the building will fit with the industrial area around it.
Richard Hinds, Development Surveyor at HBD, said: “We have developed plans for this site that we are proud of and feel the scheme complements the existing urban community. We’re excited to share the plans with the community and invite their feedback.
“As a hybrid planning application, with elements of the design still to decide, public consultation is vital and we are keen to know the thoughts of local residents and businesses.
“We will then be able to incorporate these ideas and opinions in our final planning applications.
“Leeds is one of the most exciting places in the UK to live and work and we are committed to bringing forward a scheme for this neighbourhood that we can all be proud of.
“We respect the unique character and history of Mabgate and believe these designs will sit well alongside existing buildings, but also help the area develop and grow.”

Further ‘reserved matters’ planning applications will be submitted in the second half of 2022 to propose the details of appearance, access, landscaping, layout and scale.
