A West Leeds nursery has withdrawn plans to build a new facility on Tong Road.
Little Beanies Childminders was established in 2020 at Wesley Road in Armley and had been looking to expand its offering into a new Little Beanies Day Nursery in a mixed use building on Tong Road.
A planning application to change the use of the building submitted last month to Leeds City Council has this week been withdrawn.
The plans also featured alterations including a bike store to the side, new boundary treatments and new side door and window.
However Leeds City Council’s highways department raised concerns over parking and drop offs, along with highways safety.
A design statement submitted by the applicant had argued: “The proposed new site at 352 Tong Road offers the capacity needed to meet growing demand and will allow us to continue delivering outstanding childcare services to more families.”
Up to 45 children were expected to attend the setting at any one time. An agreement to use ten spaces in the car park at the nearby The Brick pub on Tong Road was in place.
The new nursery would employ seven full-time staff and three part time.
