Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal fails to provide adequate and inclusive access for all users, including those with impaired mobility, due to the absence of level access at the entrance and the lack of an accessible WC at ground floor level. As a result, the development would not ensure accessibility for either staff or customers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy P10, saved UDP Policy GP5, the Accessible Leeds SPD, and national guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
