Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the new roof tiles installed on the number 21 Long Row, because of its unsympathetic material, result in an incongruous addition that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the dwelling and that of the positive terraced building in which it is located. As such it would be harmful to the visual amenity of the locality and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of Horsforth Conservation Area, contrary to policies P10 and P11 of Leeds Core Strategy, to saved policies GP5, BD6, BC7 and N19 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, to the aims of the Horsforth Conservation Area Appraisal, policy BE1 of the Horsforth Neighbourhood Plan and to the advice set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
