News: Avant’s plans for the old mortuary – and the iconic Clock Tower on High Royds

Avant has applied for planning permission to convert the old mortuary on High Royds into three residential properties.

The developers also want to create a three-bedroom maisonette in the tower of the Clock Tower building.

The applications – made to Leeds City Council – are in addition to the proposals for the new social club building (previously described on the HRRA website and on Facebook).

The deadline for comments to Leeds City Council on Avant Change of Use and Planning Applications for the Mortuary and Clock Tower is 18th November 2022

The plans can be seen by logging on to Leeds City Council’s Planning Portal where individual comments can be made by those who register on the site.
