Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposal represents inappropriate development within the Green Belt which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. In addition, the proposal materially harms the openness of the Green Belt and is contrary to a wider purpose of Green Belt in that the proposal represents an encroachment into the countryside. The case for very special circumstance as presented does not clearly outweigh the harm. As a result the proposal is considered contrary to the aims and intentions of saved UDP policy N33 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, as well as guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposal, as a result of the proposed surfacing (or lack thereof), the failure to demonstrate suitable visibility and access arrangements, and the material increase in vehicle movements, would lead to significant highway safety concerns for users of the site and wider road users and pedestrians. The proposal is therefore in conflict with Core Strategy policy T2, alongside the wider aims of Core Strategy policy P10 and saved UDP GP5, and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
