Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed works represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt that, by reason of their prominent location and scale would result in a significant intrusion that would cause harm to the openness and character and appearance of the Green Belt. In the absence of very special circumstances it is considered that there are no reasons to justify making an exception to the general presumption against inappropriate development in the Green Belt. As such the application is contrary to policies GP5 and N33 of the saved Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to policy HDG3 and the guidance set out in the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed works would, due to their location, scale and materials, result in a prominent and incongruous feature that detracts Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 from the visual amenity of the not only the application site and adjacent street scene but also the character and appearance of the wider locality, which is considered to be a highly attractive and important landscape that is worthy of protection. As such the application is contrary to policies GP5, N19, and N37 of the saved Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to policies P10 and P11 of Leeds Core Strategy, to policy HDG1 and the guidance set out in the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, to the aims and intentions of the Cragg Wood Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
