Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the submitted application does not include adequate details of transport and highway impacts; method of demolition; noise, dust and amenity impacts; and site restoration. Insufficient information has therefore been provided to enable the LPA to come to an informed decision in respect of such impacts. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies P10 and T2 of the Core Strategy, as well as to saved policy GP5 of the UDPR. As such the prior approval of the Local Planning Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 Authority is required in relation to these matters and this application is hereby refused in the absence of this information.

From the council's decision notice.
