Yeadon Cricket Club High Street Yeadon Leeds LS19 7TA

1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed padel courts and canopy structure would represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt that would, by reason of their location, scale, design, and materials, result in a detrimental intrusion Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 causing significant harm to the openness and character and appearance of the Green Belt. In the absence of very special circumstances it is considered that there are no reasons to justify making an exception to the general presumption against inappropriate development in the Green Belt. As such the proposal is contrary to policies GP5 and N33 of the saved Unitary Development Plan and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed padel courts and canopy structure would, by reason of their location, scale, design, and materials, result in a highly dominant and incongruous feature that would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the locality and would detract from the character and appearance of the designated Conservation Area in which it lies. As such the proposal is contrary to policies P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, to saved policies GP5 and N19 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to the aims and intentions of the Yeadon Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
3. 3.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed padel courts would, given the proposed hours of use and lack of a noise management plan, result in undue noise disturbance to the occupiers of nearby properties which would be to the detriment of their amenity and living conditions. As such the proposal is contrary to policy P10 of the Core Strategy and to saved policies GP5 and BD5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006.
