Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed side extension to be a disproportionate addition which visually overwhelms and unbalances the original Grade II Listed Building. In addition to the overall size and scale of the extension causing harm to the listed building, the introduction of architectural features (windows) which are not in keeping with the original historical character results in there being less than substantial harm to this listed buildings special character and historic interest. Furthermore, the applicant has failed to provide clear and convincing justification for the removal of these original windows, which is contrary to paragraph 208 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, the proposal conflicts with Policies P10 and P11 of the Leeds Core Strategy, saved Policies N14 and N17 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), Householder Design Guide (2012) and guidance within the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
