Land Adj 15 Harold Terrace Hyde Park Leeds LS6 1PG

1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the new dwelling for a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in an area with an existing high concentration of HMOs would, when considered cumulatively with other similar forms of housing, significantly add to those harmful impacts associated with high concentrations of HMOs, in particular those which are already recognised to be severe in the area including problems of anti-social behaviour, noise, nuisance, crime, impacts on the physical environment and streetscape, and the restructuring of local services and facilities to meet the needs of the predominant population. As such the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims of Leeds Core Strategy policies H6 and P10, saved Leeds Unitary Development Plan policy GP5, and the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed dwelling for a House in Multiple Occupation would, when considered cumulatively with the large number of existing Houses in Multiple Occupation in the area, significantly harm the residential amenity of neighbours through increased comings and goings which would lead to increased anti- social behaviour and noise and disturbance. As such the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims of Leeds Core Strategy policies H6 and P10, saved Leeds Unitary Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Development Plan policy GP5, and the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
