The grounds of a derelict manor in Leeds with a long history of neglect and abuse could soon see three new buildings if plans are approved.

A planning application has been submitted to Leeds City Council proposing the construction of three separate buildings with a total of six semi-detached homes on the grounds of Fearnville House off Dib Lane near Roundhay. Situated within the grounds of the now-derelict Grade II Listed country house, the dwellings would be positioned on a plot south of the manor, and would have direct road and pedestrian access from Fearnville Close.

Fearnville House was built around 1820 by a Leeds merchant, and has in its 200-year history been owned by a number of people and been left abandoned during longer periods of time. In 1919, police found that the building had been used for as the base of an illegal spirit distilling operation.
