Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety of pedestrians and all road users on Whitehall Road

What decided it

The site's narrow width prevents safe vehicle turning within the front garden, necessitating reversals onto the A58 which would disrupt traffic flow and create unacceptable highway safety risks for pedestrians and road users.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy T2 of the Leeds Local Plan, Core Strategy 2014 (as amended by the Core Strategy Selective Review 2019)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 114Paragraph 115

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.
