Avant Homes could convert the well-known landmark
An iconic clock tower at a former hospital, which was once the inspiration behind a Kaiser Chiefs song, could be converted into a residential property. The Grade II-listed High Royds site in Menston, on the Leeds-Bradford border, was a unit for mental health patients for 115 years through to its closure in 2003.
But the clock tower standing above the rest of the old building has remained empty and undeveloped, according to a new planning application by developers Avant Homes. The application said the tower has suffered from break-ins, fly-tipping and vandalism in recent years as a result. The plans, submitted to Leeds City Council, said: “The Clock Tower is a key feature of the site and is a centrepiece of architectural excellence. This will be maintained with limited or no changes to the external building envelope. Avant Homes feel that a residential building would fit better in the area and after extensive refurbishment the building outlook would change internally after refurbishment.
