## Resource

An old, neglected building in Chapeltown—once student digs, a hotel, and even a home—is set for a dramatic comeback. After years of decay and squatter damage, a developer plans to transform it into nine modern apartments, blending one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats. This repurposing project aims to revitalize the Chapeltown Conservation Area with affordable, safe housing while avoiding new construction. Architects see it as a smart way to turn an eyesore into a community asset. Leeds City Council is currently reviewing the plans, with public consultation running until July 21—giving locals a final chance to weigh in before the project moves forward.
