Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the design, scale and position of the wooden shed fails to respect the previously un spoilt character of the host property, resulting in an unacceptable impact on visual amenity and the wider streetscene. As such, the proposal fails to comply with Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Saved Policies BD5, BD6 and GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan Review, the recommendations of Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and is also contrary to the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the use of the shed for retail sales in this quiet residential location would result in an unacceptable impact on the amenity of local residents due to increased levels of comings-and-goings, demand for parking and anti- social behaviour including increased noise and litter, to the significant detriment of neighbouring amenity. Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 As such the proposal fails to comply with Spatial Policy SP1, Policies P10 and T2 of the Core Strategy, Saved Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan (Revised), Policy HDG2 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
