Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development, by virtue of its prominence, scale and siting adjacent to the highway edge, would erode the positive, and formerly open character of the application site and would poorly reflect the existing pattern of development across neighbouring units, resulting in significant harm to the character of the application site and the immediate streetscene context. The continued constrained appearance of the existing tree by the proposed decking would result in further loss to the verdant appearance of the site frontage and would add further to the harm identified. As such, the development is contrary to Core Strategy (as amended 2019) Policy P10, Saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) Policies BD6 and GP5, Policy DBE1 of the Oulton and Woodlesford Neighbourhood Plan, and National Planning Policy Framework (as amended) regarding achieving well-designed places.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the dimensions of the proposed access ramp fail to accord with the Accessible Leeds SPD (2016), and as a result, it would be too steep and too narrow to achieve safe site access for those who require mobility aids. In the absence of an alternative accessible means of entering the terrace, the proposal would therefore prevent access to the premises and discriminate against members of the public who cannot safely navigate the ramp. This form of development which is specifically intended for use by members of the general public would therefore be contrary to advice in Core Strategy (as amended 2019) Policies P10 (vi) and T2, Policy GP5 of the saved Unitary Development Plan Review, the Accessible Leeds SPD (2016), the Transport SPD and National Planning Policy Framework guidance regarding accessibility.
