Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed partial demolition and re- construction of the boundary wall with an aperture to accommodate tree growth would be supported in principle, however, the application as submitted lacks an appropriate amount of detail which would be needed to enable the LPA to make an informed decision. Further detail would be required regarding the proposed extent of demolition, the proposed method of demolition, specification of re-building materials, the proposed method of re-construction, the proposed method of protection of the tree, and the proposed storage/working areas which would prevent damage and compaction to the root protection area of the tree. Importantly, the application lacks information such as a BS5837 tree survey which would indicate the remaining life expectancy of the tree and thereby enable an assessment to be made regarding the adequacy of the size of the proposed aperture. Both the historic boundary wall and the mature Lime tree contribute equally positively to the street scene and to the special character and appearance of the Rawdon Little London Conservation Area and it is important that both are protected for the long term. In the absence of robust supporting information, it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, to saved Merrion House 110 Merrion Centre Leeds LS2 8BB Town and Country Planning Act 1990 policies GP5, N18A, N18B, and N20 of the Leeds UDPR, to guidance contained within the Rawdon Little London Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and to national decision-making policies DP3, N2 and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
