Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider the proposed size, scale and siting of the single storey side/rear extension results in an unacceptable degree of massing along the common boundary with 34 Kennerleigh Avenue, which would harmfully overdominate the main rear windows and main amenity space of this neighbour. As such the proposal is contrary to policy P10 of the Leeds Core Strategy Review (2019), saved policies GP5 and BD5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), and policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide (2012).

From the council's decision notice.
