Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use of 4-6, Cambridge Road, Huddersfield to a 22- bedroom guest house would, by reason of the intensity of the proposed use, the intensification of the use of site, inadequate level of parking provision and inability to provide additional parking, result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety and the surrounding highway network. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies LP21 and LP22 of the Kirklees Local Plan and guidance contained within chapters 9 and 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Plans and specifications schedule: - Plan Type Reference Version Date Location Plan LOC - 5/06/2026 Proposed site (100) 03 - 5/06/2026 sections Proposed Site Plans, (100)02 A 5/06/2026 Elevations and Floor Plans Existing elevations (100)01 - 5/06/2026 Climate Change - 5/06/2026 Statement Noise management 5/06/2026 plan Planning statement 5/06/2026 Pursuant to article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015 and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework, the Local Planning Authority have, where possible, made a pre- application advice service available, complied with the Kirklees Development Management Charter 2024 and otherwise actively engaged with the applicant in dealing with the application. No alterations have been sought in this instance as a substantial reduction to the scheme would be required for it to be considered acceptable. Where the application has been publicised by notice(s) in the vicinity of the site. It is respectfully requested that the notice(s) now be removed and responsibly disposed of to avoid harm to the appearance of the area

From the council's decision notice.
