Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the size, scale, massing and positioning of the side aspect of the part two storey part single storey side and rear extension constitutes poor design by leading to closing of an important gap between properties and thereafter a terracing effect. This would lead to significant harm to the character of the street scene. This is contrary to policies P10 and P12 of the Leeds Core Strategy (Selective Review 2019), saved policies GP5 and BD6 of the Leeds UDP (Review 2006), policy HDG1 of the Leeds Householder Design Guide SPD (2012), and guidance contained within the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
