Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The height and solid design of the fence detracts from the residential layout and has an incongruous and detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Leeds City Council Core Strategy (amended 2019), saved Policy N25 of the Leeds City Council Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006), saved Policy GP5 of the Leeds City Council Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
