Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority consider the height, siting, materials, design and solid nature of the side fence results in an out of scale, overly defensive, dominant and oppressive form of boundary treatment that causes very significant harm to the character of the streetscene. The development is therefore contrary the aims and intentions of Policy P10 Core Strategy (2019), policies GP5 and N25 of the Unitary Development Plan Review, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide (2012) and Section 12 of the Framework.
- The Local Planning Authority consider that the height, solid nature and siting of the fence immediately adjacent to the driveway of 2 Rosedale reduces the inter-visibility between this property and the highway, and therefore increases the probability of vehicular and pedestrian conflict to the detriment of highway safety. The development would therefore cause harm to highway safety and is contrary to policies T2 and P10 of the Core Strategy (as amended, 2019), and saved policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006).
From the council's decision notice.
