Leeds City Council is asking for views on the workspace that is currently available for the local cultural, digital and film sector.
Council bosses say the consultation will help them gain a "greater understanding" of the needs of Leeds's creative companies ahead of Channel 4's relocation.

It will also feed into the launch of a small grants programme that is set to receive £1m funding from the council.
Channel 4 picked Leeds as the home of its new national headquarters last year, with the broadcaster expected to move into the city centre's Majestic building in the second half of 2020.
Some staff could relocate to leased offices in Grace Street's West Gate development as early as this September.
