Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers the outbuilding, by virtue of its excessive height, bulk and industrial appearance, to cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the original dwellinghouse and the wider area. Due to the scale of the outbuilding, it competes visually with the main dwelling house it creates and overbearing addition to the property and disrupts the established rhythm of modest garages and outbuildings within the street. As such the proposal is contrary to Policies P10 of the Core Strategy, saved Policies GP5 and BD6 within the Unitary Development Plan Review, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide and guidance within the section 12 of the Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers the outbuilding, by reason of its excessive height (approximately 5m), substantial bulk, and close proximity to the rear boundary, results in significant overshadowing and an overbearing impact on the private garden of No. 134 Throstle Road. Its southern orientation and dominant scale create an increased sense of enclosure, which materially harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. The development therefore fails to protect residential amenity and is contrary to Leeds Core Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Strategy Policy P10, saved UDP Policies GP5 and BD5, and the Householder Design Guide (HDG2).
