Why it was refused

The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development would, by reason of its scale, location and the loss of a protected tree, result in a visually dominant and incongruous feature that would fail to respect the character and appearance and spatial setting of the existing dwelling and the plot in which it is located. It would therefore also be harmful to the visual amenity of the wider street scene and would detract significantly from the character and appearance of a designated conservation area. As such the proposal is contrary to policies P10 and P11of Leeds Core Strategy, to policies GP5, N19 and LD1 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to policy Land 2 of the Natural Resources and Waste Local Plan, to policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (and to the guidance contained within it), to the aims and intentions of the Guiseley Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
