Local knowledge

How schemes in Leeds get decided.

Local standards from day one

Leeds has its own transport and parking guidance. We apply it before the layout is fixed, so the scheme is not redrawn after the highways response.

A busy, well-connected city

In and around the centre, the focus is on walking, cycling, bus access and how little parking a scheme can work with. Further out, it shifts to access and junction capacity.

The motorway network

Schemes that add traffic near the M1, M62 or M621 may need National Highways to agree too. We tell you early if yours does.
