Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed changes to the approved scheme, including the omission of the second-floor extension and the redistribution of the 39 dwellings into the existing building, involve a change to the operative part of planning permission 23/01754/FU which cannot lawfully be effected under s.73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
  2. The Local Planning Authority considers that the planning permission it is sought to vary (application 23/01754/FU) has lapsed. It is considered that the works relied upon by the applicant do not constitute lawful commencement of development for the purposes of s.56 Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as they were carried out in breach of true conditions precedent and without compliance with the requirements of the relevant s.106 Agreement. Accordingly there is no extant permission capable of being varied under s.73.
  3. The applicant has not demonstrated, through an updated viability appraisal on the varied scheme, that the revised scheme cannot support a policy-compliant affordable housing contribution. Policy H5 of the Core Strategy is therefore not satisfied, and no planning obligation has been offered to secure such contribution.
  4. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed changes to the approved scheme to redistribute the 39 dwellings into the existing envelope without the previously approved second-floor extension, fail to provide a satisfactory internal living environment for future occupiers which would be to the detriment of their residential amenity. As such the proposal is contrary to policy P10 of Leeds Core Strategy and to policy GP5 of Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006.

From the council's decision notice.
