Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed pillars, gates and fencing would form an incongruous and alien addition to the existing property, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the wider streetscene and general visual amenity, in a locality where boundary treatments are typified by mature hedges and low level walls. As such, the proposal fails to comply with the recommendations of Policy P10 of the Leeds Core Strategy, is contrary to advice on Page 38 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, and is furthermore contrary to the recommendations of Saved Policies GP5 and N25 of the Revised Unitary Development Plan (UDPR).

From the council's decision notice.
