Authority: Leeds City Council
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)

Inspector: Ellis D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether prior approval should be granted for the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
whether the proposal complies with the condition in paragraph AA.2.(3)(b) with regards to the submission of a report for the management of the construction of the development

What decided it

The proposal's location at the head of the cul-de-sac and its symmetrical design with matching features meant the three-storey addition would not harmfully affect the appearance of the dwellings or surrounding area.
