Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the development fails to provide adequate, inclusive and accessible access for all users, including those with impaired mobility to the new structure. Furthermore, as a result of the relationship with the existing ramped access to the main building the proposal has materially worsened access for such users over and above the pre-existing situation. As a result, the development does not ensure appropriate accessibility for staff or customers and fails to deliver an inclusive environment. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10 and T2, saved UDP Policies GP5 and LD1, the detailed guidance within the Accessible Leeds SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
