New padel courts could be built on the site of demolished industrial units at the Swinnow Grange Mills complex.
Padel tennis is the fastest-growing racket sport in the UK, with its growth predicted to continue.
Gems Investments has applied to Leeds City Council to change of use of part of the former mill complex off Stanningley Road and the erection of padel courts with canopy above and associated works.
A design statement submitted with the plans concludes: “The proposed change of use and development will constitute a positive addition not only to Swinnow Grange Mills but to the residential of the wider community.”
Padel Tennis consists of a court 10m and 20m long. The area is closed off by glass walls and fencing.
