Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the boundary treatment, by virtue of its prominence, scale and materials, appears as a disproportionately large/high, stark and obtrusive addition to the Holmsley Lane streetscene, resulting in harm to the former open and positive character of the application site and the character of the surrounding area. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Core Strategy (as amended 2019) Policy P10, Saved UDPR (2006) Policies GP5, N25 and LD1, Oulton and Woodlesford Neighbourhood Plan Policy DBE1, Householder Design Guide Policy HDG1, Householder Design Guide guidance relating to boundary treatments and guidance regarding achieving well-designed places in the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
