Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of 19 Strickland Avenue and 3 Strickland Close with particular regard to privacy
- If any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by permitted development considerations
What decided it
The Certificate of Lawful Development confirming the decking is permitted development means it could be retained in any event, making it unreasonable to refuse planning permission despite identified harm to neighbour amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P10 of the Leeds City Council Core Strategy (as amended 2019)saved Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006)Policy HDG2 of the Council's Householder Design Guide 2012
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
