Plans to build more than 200 homes on the site of a former funeral provider in Leeds have been submitted to the city council.
Developers want to demolish the former Co-op Funeral Care building on Marsh Lane and replace it with a large apartment block.
The scheme would deliver 205 one, two and three-bedroom homes close to St Peter’s Square and Leeds Bus Station.
A design report stated the plan represented “an excellent opportunity to regenerate the site and provide much needed housing in the city centre”.
Planning documents said the site’s existing three-storey structure was “of no architectural merit, detracts from the character of the area and is an inefficient use of a brownfield site”.
