Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the scale, form and position of the proposed side dormer is unacceptable, due to its impact on the relatively unspoilt of the existing property and the wider setting of the Headingley Conservation Area, thereby resulting in an unacceptable impact on visual amenity, the existing streetscene and the wider setting of the Headingley Conservation Area. As such, the proposal therefore fails to comply with the recommendations of Policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, Saved Policies BC7, BD6 and GP5 of the Revised Unitary Development Plan, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, the recommendations of the National Planning Policy Framework and is also contrary to Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
