7 Cricketers Terrace Armley Leeds LS12 1ST

1. 1.The local planning authority considers that the proposed flats do not provide adequate residential amenity for prospective residents, by virtue of inadequate light, outlook and privacy, poor internal space and inadequate external amenity space, contrary to policies H6, H9 and P10 of the Core Strategy, saved Unitary Development Plan policy GP5 and the advice contained within the Council's Neighbourhoods for Living SPG and the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority considers that, by reason of its inappropriate scale, design and form, the proposed dormer will result in an incongruous form of development which will have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and terrace which are positive buildings in the Armley Conservation Area, contrary to Policies Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 P10, P11 and P12 of the Core Strategy, Policies GP5, BD6 and N19 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006) policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework. It is considered that the harm to the Conservation Area would be 'less than substantial', but that this harm would not be outweighed by any public benefit
3. 3.The local planning authority considers the proposal, by reason of the intensification of use at the site and the failure to provide for adequate and safe off-street car parking provision, to serve the new development, would result in an increase in on-street parking on a street and immediate locality which already suffers from parking congestion problems. The proposal also fails to provide for cycle parking and bin storage off the street. This would be harmful to highway safety to the detriment of the safe and free flow of vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements on nearby roads and harmful to residential amenity. As a result, the proposal is considered to be harmful in design and character terms and is contrary to Policies P10, H6 and T2 of the Core Strategy, saved policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan and contrary to the guidance included within the Council's Transport SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.
