Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority consider the proposed rear dormer window and the large extension to the front by virtue of their size, scale, form, proportions, siting and massing, would result in an disproprionate, dominating and visually harmful addition to the property. The development therefore causes harm to the character and appearance of the application dwelling and the wider streetscene, contrary to Policy P10 of the Core Strategy Review (2019), saved policies GP5 and BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide (2012) and guidance contained within section 12 of the Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed rear dormer window, combined with the increased ridge height would result in and overly large and dominating addition to the property,, which in turn would result in a harmful perception of overdominance being formed thus harming the living conditions and enjoyment of the neighbouring occupants rear private amenity area, particularly for No.137 Leeds Road. As such the proposal would be contrary to the aims of Leeds Core Strategy policy P10, saved Unitary Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Development Plan policy GP5 and the guidance contained within the Householder Design Guide SPD, the Neighbourhoods for Living SPG and the National Planning Policy Framework.
