The council has approved a licence to increase the capacity of Roundhay Park to almost 70,000 for up to two large outdoor concerts per year, firmly establishing Leeds as a cultural destination where large scale artists will now perform.

It will provide a huge boost for the local economy, attracting more people to the city who will spend while they're here. But will it help boost the local property market too?
