Redrow Homes is planning to build more than 350 houses on land off Red Hall Lane in Shadwell. The scheme is part of the wider East Leeds Extension, which will see thousands of homes built in the surrounding area. Leeds City Council first approved the sale to Redrow in 2021 for an undisclosed sum. At the time, a conditional price was agreed, subject to surveys being carried out by the developer.
