Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed two storey side extension, addition of a gable roof above an existing first floor front window, and the extent of additional driveway/loss of soft landscaping and grass verge would, by reason of its scale, nature, design and prominent location result in a visually dominant and incongruous development which would harm the visual appearance and character of both the host property and the wider street scene, thereby detracting from the established character and appearance of a designated Conservation Area. The application is therefore contrary to policy HDG1 of the Leeds Householder Design Guide (and the guidance set out within it), to policies P10 and P11 of Leeds Core Strategy, to policies GP5, N19 and BD6 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to the aims and intentions of the Tranmere Park Design Statement and Tranmere Park Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
