Why it was refused

  1. The application fails to provide sufficient information to enable a full and proper assessment of the impact of the development on the significance of the Grade II* listed building, its setting, and nearby designated heritage assets. In the absence of such information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposal would preserve the significance of these heritage assets. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy policies P10, P11 and P12, Policy LE1 of the Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Neighbourhood Plan, saved UDP policy GP5, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposal is located within a Special Landscape Area and within close proximity to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Insufficient arboricultural information has been submitted to demonstrate that the development would not adversely affect the health and long-term retention of these trees. In the absence of such information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposal would safeguard protected Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 trees or preserve the character of the Special Landscape Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy policies P10, P11 and P12, saved UDP policies GP5 and N37, Natural Resources and Waste DPD policy LAND 2, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. The application fails to provide sufficient information to properly demonstrate that the proposed foul drainage arrangements, including the wastewater treatment plant and discharge to a culverted watercourse, would operate effectively without causing pollution or increasing flood risk. In the absence of such information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that a suitable and sustainable drainage solution would be achieved. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy policies EN2 and EN5, the Natural Resources and Waste Local Plan policies WATER1, WATER2, WATER6, WATER7, and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
