Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed front lightwell and steps would result in an incongruous and alien addition to the currently unspoilt front elevation of the existing property, in a location where no other such lightwells exist. This would result in an unacceptable impact on visual amenity and the wider streetscene, whilst also failing to preserve or enhance the setting and character of the Headingley Hill & Hyde Park & Woodhouse Moor Conservation Area. As such, the proposal would fail to comply with Policies P10 and P11 of the Leeds Core Strategy, Saved Policies BD6, GP5 and N19 of Revised Unitary Development Plan (UDPR), the recommendations of Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 the recommendations of the National Planning Policy Framework and the requirements of Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed rear dormer would, as a result of its scale, form and position, result in an unacceptable impact on visual amenity, the existing streetscene and the wider setting of the Headingley Hill and Hyde Park and Woodhouse Moor Conservation Area. As such, the proposal therefore fails to comply with the recommendations of Policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, Saved Policies BC7, BD6, GP5 and N19 of the Revised Unitary Development Plan, the Headingley Hill and Hyde Park and Woodhouse Moor Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (CAAMP), Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, the recommendations of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and is also considered contrary to Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
