We had chosen conveyancers based in St Luke's on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your St Luke's conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
