Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider that design and siting of the two storey side/rear extension results in an incongruous and out of keeping design that fails to reflect the character of the application dwelling, and other dwellings within The Crescent. As such, the proposal causes harm to the character of the dwelling and wider street scene and is contrary to Core Strategy policy P10 (2019), saved Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policies GP5 and BD6, policy HDG1 of the Council's Householder Design Guide SPD and the Section 12 of the Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority consider that, by reason of its excessive depth, massing and proximity to the shared boundary, the proposed rear extension would appear unduly dominant and overbearing when viewed from the adjoining dwelling and garden at 22 The Crescent. The extension would result in significant loss of outlook from the rear facing habitable room windows and private garden area of this neighbouring property. As such, the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to residential amenity, contrary to Policy Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 P10 of the Core Strategy (2019), Saved UDPR (2006) Policy GP5 and BD5, and Householder Design Guide SPD (2012) Policy HDG2.
