Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed first floor side extension would, by reason of its detailed design, lacking subservience and failing to provide any setback, result in a terracing effect, eroding the existing gap between the application property and No. 24 Pinfold Lane. This would cause harm to the spatial character of the area, to the detriment of the visual amenity of the dwelling and the streetscene. Accordingly, the proposal is considered contrary to the aims of Policy P10 of the Core Strategy Review (2019), saved Polices GP5 and BD6 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide (2012), as well as the advice set out within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
