Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed short-term let use would, by reason of its transient nature, generate a high turnover of guest occupants which, through the increase in activity from persons coming and going, and vehicular movements in close proximity to neighbouring dwellings, would give rise to noise and disturbance and incidents of antisocial behaviour that would be significantly harmful to the living conditions of neighbours. The harm arising is considered contrary to policy P10 of the Core Strategy (as amended), saved policy GP5 of the UDP (Review) and the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended) in respect of safeguarding amenity For information:- Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990

From the council's decision notice.
