Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that, by reason of its location, design and materials, the proposed storage container would result in an overly prominent, alien and incongruous form of development that would cause significant harm to the visual amenity of the locality, including to the character and appearance of a designated Conservation Area. As such the proposal is contrary to policies P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, to policies GP5 and N19 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), to the aims and intentions of the Horsforth Neighbourhood Plan and the Horsforth Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed development would, by reason of its proximity to existing trees, adversely affect the future health and threaten the survival of these trees which make a significant and valuable contribution to the character and appearance the locality, to the detriment of visual amenity. Any impact on existing trees would cause harm to the character and appearance of a designated Conservation Area. As such the proposal is contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10, P11 and P12, to saved Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 policies GP5, N19 and LD1 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, to policy LAND 2 of the Natural Resources and Waste Local Plan, to British Standard BS 5837:2012, to the aims and intentions of the Horsforth Neighbourhood Plan and the Horsforth Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to the policy contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
