Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed two-storey side element of the extension, by reason of its design, scale, siting and prominence within the street scene, would result in a form of development that lacks subservience and would appear unsympathetic and incongruous in relation to the host property. The proposal would represent an incongruous and overly bulky addition that fails to respect the scale and proportions of the original property and would erode the established pattern of spacing between buildings, causing harm to the spatial character and grain of the street. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10 and P12, saved UDP Policies GP5 and BD6, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to secure high quality development that is sympathetic to local character and context.
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed two-storey side element of the extension, by reason of its size, scale, and siting in relation to the neighbouring garden areas of 25 Scott Hall Avenue would lead to a significant overdominance impact resulting Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in a harmful loss of outlook over that neighbour. The proposal would further lead to a loss of light in relation to the side garden area of the neighbouring site for the same reasons. This would be significantly harmful to neighbouring amenity contrary to Core Strategy Policy P10, saved UDP Policy GP5, Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, and the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
