Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development, by reason of its scale, form and appearance of the single-storey side extension, the introduction of extensive dark grey metal cladding to prominent elevations, the replacement of the original bay window and associated changes to the fenestration, would fail to respect the architectural character and appearance of the host dwelling. The proposal would be highly visible within the public realm and would result in a visually intrusive and incongruous form of development that would erode the established character and appearance of the surrounding street scene, which is characterised by detached natural stone dwellings. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies P10 and P12 of the Leeds Core Strategy (2019, as amended), Policies GP5 and BD6 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006, as amended), Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD (2012), and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
