The Future
The future of the Thorp Arch Trading Estate is unclear. No plans have been put forward to properly redevelop it, however the land value is high and occupation density low so future redevelopment seems in itself likely.
In the 1990s there was a plan to turn the adjacent village of Walton into a New Town, although this never got off the ground, green field areas around the site have been developed into residential areas. It seems likely with the high demand for houses in Leeds, especially in the Wetherby and Boston Spa area that there will be many more residential developments to come in this area in the future.

Famous quotes containing the words the future and/or future:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“That children link us with the future is hardly news. . . . When we participate in the growth of children, a sense of wonder must take hold of us, providing for us a sense of future. Without the intimation of concrete individual futures, it is hardly worth bothering with social change and improvement.”
—Greta Hofmann Nemiroff (20th century)
“If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
