Plans to transform former Leeds nightclub into spa and wellness centre
The new spa would be housed in a Grade II-listed building
A historic building and nightclub could be turned into a spa and wellness centre if plans are agreed with the council.
Plans have been drawn up for a change of use of the premises at 9 East Parade in Leeds city centre.
The ground floor of the Grade II-listed building would be converted if planning permission is agreed by Leeds City Council.
A design report said the building was used as a drinking establishment.
It said: “The current proposal seeks to replace that nightclub use with a spa and wellness facility.”
The report said the site was close to public transport links and other licensed premises.
It sad: “The surrounding area accommodates a broad mix of uses including offices, restaurants, bars, hotels and other commercial and leisure premises.
“Greek Street and the wider city-centre leisure district are located immediately to the east and south-east of the site, while Park Square and the established commercial quarter lie to the west.
“The site is therefore located within a highly accessible and sustainable part of Leeds city centre, with excellent pedestrian connections and convenient access to local bus services and Leeds railway station.”
The report by E3 Architecture said future use of the building would involve the removal of a dance floor and there would be less late-night noise.
It said: “The proposed spa and wellness facility represents an appropriate evolution of this established use.
“The development will therefore provide a more compatible long-term use of the lower ground floor whilst continuing to support the vitality and diversification of Leeds city centre.”
A full planning application is out for consultation until November 25.
