Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed extension, by reason of its scale, massing and overall design including the roof results in a structure which fails to represent a subservient form of development and is visually harmful to the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to the objectives of Core Strategy Review (2019) policy P10, saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policies GP5 and BD6, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide and section 12 of the Framework as well as advice contained within the NPPF regarding design
  2. The Local Planning Authority consider that the size, scale, siting and proportions of the rear extension result in a harmfully dominant development. The 6.5m rear projection Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 located on the shared boundary would negatively impact the occupants of the neighbouring dwellings and their enjoyment of the amenity space, to the detriment of their residential amenity. The application would therefore be contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy Review (2019), saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) Policy GP5, and Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide.

From the council's decision notice.
