Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed outbuilding, by virtue of its design, size, siting, prominence and use of materials, would result in an unsympathetic and incongruous addition which erodes the existing positive character of the application property and would have a harmful impact on the character of the wider streetscene. As such, the proposal is considered harmful to local character, contrary to the aims and intentions of Policy P10 of the Core Strategy (as amended 2019), Saved Policies GP5 and BD6 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006), Policy HDG1 and guidance contained within the Householder Design Guide SPD, and National Planning Policy Framework (as amended) guidance in relation to achieving well-designed places.

From the council's decision notice.
