Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 12:02 · Archive

Housebuilder Persimmon is consulting residents on a major East of Otley development that would include around 250 new homes in its first phase.

Housebuilder Persimmon is consulting residents on plans for a major mixed-use development on land to the east of Otley town centre. The first phase of the scheme would deliver around 250 new homes alongside extensive landscaping, green spaces and public open space. A total of 35 per cent of new homes would be sold at a discount or transferred to a housing provider.

Future phases of the development would include a further 330 homes, land for employment and business use, and a new two-form entry primary school. A new road is also planned to be delivered by Leeds City Council as part of the wider project, with the aim of reducing traffic through Otley town centre.

To allow residents to view the proposals and ask questions, Persimmon is hosting two public consultation events at Otley Common, Walkergate, Otley on Friday, November 6 from 3pm to 7pm and Tuesday, November 10 from 2pm to 6pm. The developer will then submit a planning application to Leeds City Council.
