Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development, by reason of its scale, siting, and use of unsympathetic, modern and overly engineered materials, would appear visually intrusive and unduly prominent within the streetscene. The site lies within a highly sensitive heritage context and the immediate locality is subject to heritage-led public realm improvements intended to reduce visual clutter, improve openness, enhance the setting of heritage assets and improve pedestrian movement. It is considered that the proposed development would conflict with and undermine these aims, introducing an overly dominant and visually discordant structure that would fail to integrate with the character and appearance of Morley Conservation Area and would harm the setting of Morley Town Hall, a Grade I Listed Building, and four Grade II Listed Buildings. The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of these designated heritage assets. In accordance with sections 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, this harm has been afforded considerable importance and weight. The public benefits put forward, whether individually Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or cumulatively, are not considered to clearly and convincingly outweigh the heritage harm identified. As such, the proposal is contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10, P11 and P12, saved UDP policies GP5, BD8 and BD9, Chapters 12 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework, and sections 66 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
