Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed alterations to the boundary wall to harm to visual amenity, by reason of their height, siting, soild and overly defensive appearance, this makes it an alien feature within the streetscene to the detriment of the area's otherwise open and verdant character. As such, the proposal is contrary to the aims and intentions of policies GP5 and N25 of the UDP Review (2006), policy P10 of the Core Strategy (as amended 2019), Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide, as well as the design guidance in the Garforth Neighbourhood Plan (2023) and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
