Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the submitted plans do not unambiguously describe the development for which planning permission is sought and as such insufficiently clear information has been provided to allow the Local Planning Authority to definitively assess the impact of the development. This relates specifically to two versions of site layout plans showing slightly differing locations for the amended front boundary treatment opening to be. As such the applicant has failed to satisfy Article 7 of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed pillars and gates, by virtue of their scale and siting, would represent an incongruous and unsympathetic addition to the streetscene. It would conflict with the uniformed characteristic of front boundaries of properties on the cul-de-sac and wider area, detracting from this identified character and presenting adverse harm toward it. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies P10 and P12 of the Leeds Core Strategy (Selective Review 2019), saved UDP (Review 2006) Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 policies GP5, LD1 and N25, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD (2012), and guidance contained with the NPPF (2024).
