Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed side extension, by reason of its scale, siting, width and lack of subservience to the host dwelling, would appear as an unduly prominent and incongruous addition that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the original property. Furthermore, the development would erode the important visual gap retained between the neighbouring dwelling which contributes positively to the spatial character of the street scene and would establish a harmful precedent for further infilling, resulting in an increased perception of terracing within an area characterised by detached dwellings. As such, the proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of both the host property and the wider street scene, contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10 and P12, Saved UDP Review Policies GP5 and BD6, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD, Policy DES1 of the Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Boston Spa Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework regarding achieving well-designed places.

From the council's decision notice.
