Why it was refused

  1. The information submitted within the application is inaccurate, does not reflect the situation on site and is therefore not appropriate. The proposed timing for the completion of the offsite highway works - two months from first occupation - has already passed. The proposal fails to: - provide suitable and safe access into the development for pedestrians and cyclists; - provide suitable and safe arrangements for deliveries and bin and waste collections; - provide suitable and safe arrangements for students to move-in and move-out of the development Furthermore, the failure to complete the required off-site highway works has resulted in ongoing road safety concerns for pedestrians navigating the surrounding streets, Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 including increased risks for those with mobility impairments and / or visual impairments. For these reasons, the proposal is contrary to policy T2 of the Core Strategy (as amended by the Core Strategy Selective Review 2019), saved policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) and the guidance set out in the Transport Supplementary Planning Document (2023).

From the council's decision notice.
