1. 1.The proposed development would result in substandard living conditions for future occupants by virtue of the inadequate size and poor configuration of the proposed bedrooms, which would not provide sufficient space for combined living and sleeping functions. The majority of rooms would be single aspect, with several having limited outlook and poor levels of privacy due to their close relationship with communal areas, resulting in an unacceptable residential environment. Furthermore, the layout would give rise to unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance, with bedrooms positioned adjacent to or above communal kitchen and dining areas and in close proximity to neighbouring en-suite bathrooms. The proposal would also result in an over-reliance on substandard private rooms, given the limited quality and usability of communal space. Taken together, these deficiencies would fail to provide a high standard of amenity or a suitable living environment for future occupants. Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy P10, saved UDP Policy GP5, the Neighbourhoods for Living SPD, and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to secure a high standard of amenity for all users.
2. 2.The proposed development fails to provide a safe and suitable access arrangement, with the existing access measuring approximately 4.5m in width, which is insufficient to accommodate two-way vehicle movements. In the absence of an appropriately widened access (circa 5.5m), the proposal would likely result in vehicle conflict, unsafe manoeuvring and increased risk to users of the site and adjacent highway. Furthermore, the internal layout is car-dominant and fails to prioritise safe and convenient pedestrian movement, resulting in an environment that is not inclusive or accessible for all users. These deficiencies, when taken together, would give rise to conditions prejudicial to highway and pedestrian safety.
