Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed conversion of a garage to form a store and bedroom would, as a result of the insertion of a window to the side elevation facing 22 Leeds Road, exacerbated by its height and sitting on the common boundary, result in harmful overlooking into the neighbouring modest rear garden. The proposal would also be in clear conflict with the separation distances recommended in the Householder Design Guide and relies on neighbouring land for outlook. The application would therefore be contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Policy GP5 of the Saved UDP Review, Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide and general guidance within the Framework on matters of good design and sustainable development.
From the council's decision notice.
