Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed single storey rear extension by reason of its size, scale and volume, when considered in addition to the previous extensions, would result in disproportionate additions to the original property. The development would therefore be harmful to the openness of the Green Belt. As no very special circumstances have been provided to demonstrate why this harm can be accepted in this instance, the proposal is considered contrary to the aims and intentions of Policy N33 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review) 2006, Policy HDG3 of the Householder Design Guide as well as guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
