Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its uncharacteristic rendered finish, the proposal would harm the established brick and stone dominated historic townscape of Morley Bottoms. The development would result in less than substantial harm to the non designated heritage asset, the character and appearance of the Morley Conservation Area, and the setting of a Listed Building, with no public benefits demonstrated to outweigh this harm. The proposal therefore fails to preserve the historic environment, contrary to Section 66(1) and Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies P10 and P11 of the Leeds Core Strategy and saved UDP Policies GP5, BD6, BC7, N14 and N17.

From the council's decision notice.
