Why it was refused
- The proposed raising of the ridge height and change in roof design collectively, presents an incongruous form of over development to this dwelling, due to its design, forms, size and scale, all of which fails to appear subordinate upon the host property. The proposed alterations do not respect the design of the host property. This would therefore would be detrimental to the character and appearance of both the host property, neighbouring properties and the wider street-scene. As such the proposal conflicts with the adopted Core Strategy (2019) Policy P10 and saved Leeds UDP Policies GP5 and BD6, together with Policy HDG1 in the City Councils adopted Householder Design Guide and guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
From the council's decision notice.
