Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed fencing is unacceptable due to its height and location relative to the highway. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed height of the boundary treatment is such that it restricts visibility for vehicles exiting the parking area, thus creating a highway and pedestrian safety concern. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy T2 of the Core Strategy (as amended, 2019) and Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Policy GP5 of the saved Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review, 2006), as well as guidance within the adopted Transport SPD and NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
