A former social club in Chapeltown, Leeds has been granted planning permission to convert into a five-bedroom house.

A former social club on Grange View in Chapeltown has been granted planning permission to convert into a five-bedroom family home. Housing Leeds applied to redevelop the vacant building near Potternewton Park, and Leeds City Council issued the change-of-use planning permission on 6 October.

The property will provide accommodation for up to five to seven residents within a managed social housing setting. According to a design report, the development will make effective use of the existing residential dwelling. No external alterations are proposed, and the building will remain in keeping with the character of the surrounding residential area.

Before being converted and extended into a social club, the property was originally a family home. The new plans restore the site to its original residential use, with bedrooms featuring shared kitchen and bathroom facilities.
