Leeds City Council submits plans for Kirkgate Market hotel

Leeds City Council has submitted plans to develop a 140-bedroom hotel at Kirkgate Market.

The authority hopes to begin construction at the site in George Street in 2024 as part of a multi-million investment programme in the area.

A pre-let lease with an operator will be agreed for the five-storey hotel with bar and restaurant. Commercial units and a council-run gym will occupy the ground floor of the site, which is currently occupied by a number of vacant low-rise shop units.

Cllr Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council's executive member for economy, culture and education, said: "We're determined to do everything we can to deliver a bright and busy future for Leeds Kirkgate Market while also driving forward the regeneration of the surrounding area.

"These hotel proposals are designed to help us achieve that twin aim, and we have been encouraged by the response we have had to them over the last few months.

"The submission of the planning application marks another important step in a process that we hope will have a positive and transformative effect on George Street and the rest of the eastern side of our fantastic city centre."
