Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed self contained basement flat fails to provide an acceptable standard of residential amenity for future occupiers. The development would not allow adequate penetration of daylight or provide satisfactory outlook to all habitable rooms, fails to provide sufficient private external amenity space or safe access, and does not meet Leeds minimum space standards. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policies H6C, H9 and P10, saved Unitary Development Plan Review Policy GP5, the Neighbourhoods for Living SPG, and Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
