11 Cricketers Green Yeadon Leeds LS19 7YS

1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal, by virtue of positioning a new vehicle access point and the associated dropped kerb along Green Lane, and the unacceptably poor visibility this would create for both vehicle users and pedestrians, would increase the likelihood of conflicts to such a degree that it would result in a significantly harmful impact on highway safety. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to policies P10 and T2 of the Core Strategy, saved UDP policy GP5, and the guidance contained in the Transport SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed gates and boundary treatment to the side boundary along Green Lane, by reason of their height, form, scale, design, and positioning, would appear as an unsympathetic and incongruous addition and have a detrimental visual impact on the character of the properties and wider streetscene and the setting of the conservation area. As such the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims and objectives of policies P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, saved policies GP5, BD6, LD1 and N25 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy HG1 of the Householder Design Guide (SPD) and guidance contained within the NPPF.
3. 3.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal would likely lead to significant harm to important protected trees located within the site, through both direct and indirect impacts arising from the development. These trees make a positive contribution to visual amenity and wider environmental objectives including climate resilience and air quality improvement. Harm to protected trees of this value is therefore unacceptable. The identified impacts would be contrary to the aims and intentions of Leeds Core Strategy policies P10, P11 and P12, saved policies GP5, N25 and LD1 of the Unitary Development Plan, and the guidance contained within the Council's Householder Design Guide SPD and the Council's Guideline Distances from Development to Trees document. The proposal also conflicts with the National Planning Policy Framework, which affords strong protection to irreplaceable and high value trees, as well as the relevant professional guidance set out in British Standard BS5837:2012 Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction.
