A total of 41 objections had been lodged against the scheme, including one from the Labour MP for Leeds North West, Alex Sobel.
Their concerns included the impact on local infrastructure and the prospect of the new houses overshadowing the existing ones.
Speaking at a plans panel meeting on Thursday, objector Darren Robinson told councillors: “We understand no individual has the right to a view, but they do have the right to enjoy their own homes.Mr Robinson also said that the vehicles likely to be parked within a small space around the homes were “not in keeping with Leeds City Council’s desire for a low-carbon economy.
He also said that residents of the new homes would be within “walking distance of shops, amenities, nurseries and primary schools,” meaning they wouldn’t have to necessarily use a car.
