Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development cannot be lawfully determined under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). The changes sought, namely the extension of the front terrace, would result in a material alteration to the description of the approved development. Section 73 applications can only be used to vary or remove conditions and cannot be used to amend the description of development. The proposal therefore falls outside the scope of Section 73 and cannot be considered under this mechanism.
- The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed extension of the terrace, by virtue of its size, massing, and positioning in addition to the existing extensions at the site, is considered to represent a disproportionate addition to the property. As a result, the Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 proposal would be inappropriate development, which is harmful to the Green Belt by definition and must be afforded substantial weight against the application. Furthermore, there are no other considerations which would form a very special circumstances which would clearly outweigh the identified harm. Therefore, the proposal is considered contrary to Saved Policy N33 of the Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006), Policy HDG3 of the Householder Design Guide (2012) and the policy guidance set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (as amended).
