In addition, the Grade II listed Engine House building will be converted into a cinema and boutique brewery, facing onto a new public square.

The site has been designed to provide ample public space, connecting the wider Holbeck to the canal, the new station entrance and Leeds City Centre.

Gareth Jackson, development director for Carillion said: "This planning application is the culmination of our work with the HCA, Leeds City Council and local stakeholders to ensure that Tower Works is a fitting and successful addition to the Leeds South Bank regeneration area."

Commercial agents Knight Frank and Sanderson Wetherall have been appointed alongside residential agents CRBE and Morgans, and retail and leisure agents Pudney Shuttleworth. England & Lyle are providing planning consultancy to the developer.

Construction works are expected to begin in Spring 2016.
