Former 'nuisance' Pudsey pub to become flats after planning approval granted

A former Leeds pub which has been derelict since 2003 is set to be transformed into flats after planning permission was granted.

Planning approval has been given for developers to transform The Boars Head on Roker Lane in Pudsey into five flats.

New windows and doors will be implemented in the design - which is subject to a string of measures including the use of natural stone and new window designs being approved.

A planning officer’s report approving the development said: "The proposal will regenerate a long-standing derelict nuisance property, with a quality refurbishment scheme.

"The proposal will also deliver new housing in a sustainable location, which will have a positive impact on the character of the locality.”

Planning permission was previously sought in late 2019 to demolish the pub and replace it with a pair of semi-detached properties.
