Planning chiefs have given the green light for a brand new industrial development at a flagship east Leeds site - and hopes are high that it could bring 500 jobs to the city.

The 265,000 square foot mixed-employment development, will sit on a vacant 16-acre site off Pontefract Lane between the existing Cross Green Industrial Estate and the Leeds City Region (Aire Valley) Enterprise Zone.

The prime site also sits between Leeds City Centre and Junction 45 of the M1 motorway.
