Plans to build 152 houses on Leeds City College’s former Horsforth campus in Calverley Lane have been approved in principle by Leeds planning chiefs.

Due to a high court decision earlier this year, the site was returned into the greenbelt, which cast doubt on whether it should be built on.

Local councillors opposing the plan said the extra houses would put undue strain on school places in the area.
