Why it was refused
- The development, by virtue of its siting on a constrained site of steeply sloping land, prominence within the street, layout and design would fail to harmonise with existing development within the locality and would appear as a contrived and incongruous development of the site which would constitute a visual intrusion within this location. The development would lead to detrimental harm to the visual amenities and overall character and appearance of the area, contrary to policies LP2 and LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan, Principle 2 of the Housebuilders Design Guide SPD and policies within Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- By virtue of the prominent location and layout, the proposed dwelling would fail to provide an adequate standard of private outdoor amenity space for future occupiers. As a result, the development would have a harmful impact upon the residential amenity of occupiers of the development, contrary to Policy LP24b) of the Kirklees Local Plan, Principle 17 of the Housebuilders Design Guide SPD and Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
