16 Mayo Close Roundhay Leeds LS8 2PX

1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed two storey-side extension, by reason of its form, siting and design, would result in an unsympathetic and visually intrusive addition that fails to respect the scale, proportions and spatial character of the host dwelling and the wider application site. The proposed front extension, due to its wide elevation, long flat-roof form and discordant fenestration pattern, would further overcomplicate and disrupt the simple legibility of the property. These extensions would also unbalance the established symmetry retained between the application property and 14 Mayo Close, which makes a valuable contribution in defining the positive character of the cul-de-sac. It is therefore considered that the proposal would lead to less than substantial harm to the character of the Roundhay Conservation Area and in the absence of public benefits to outweigh this harm, the development should be refused in accordance with Chapter 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended). Additionally, the development is considered to be very significantly harm harmful to the application property and the wider streetscene, contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10, Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 P11 and P12, saved UDP Policies GP5, BD6 and N19, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, the Roundhay Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended).
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority considers that, by virtue of construction works directly within the root protection areas of trees, and the pressures placed on the trees by virtue of their proximity to the development, the proposed development would result in significant harm to, and the likely future loss of, protected trees within and adjacent to the application site. These trees make positive contributions to the character and appearance of the Roundhay Conservation Area, the amenity of the area, and to tackling climate change and air pollution. Harm to, and the likely loss of, these trees and their associated benefits would be contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10, P11 P12 and G9, saved UDP Policies GP5 and N20, Natural Resources and Waste DPD Policy Land 2, the Householder Design Guide SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended).
