Why it was refused

  1. The development, by virtue of its design and positioning, is a poor addition to the streetscene, and would fail to preserve the special character and appearance of Barick in Elmet and Sholes by unduly impacting on its setting. The development is therefore contrary to policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, policies GP5 and BD5 of the Unitary Development Plan, and policy BE1 of the Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Neighbourhood Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
