Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial height, width and solid appearance of the gates with their anthracite grey finish would be incongruous with and would significantly detract from the spacious and verdant character of the Broomfield street scene, conflicting with development plan policies requiring good design appropriate to local context.
Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Leeds City Council Core Strategy (2019), Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006), Policy N25 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006), Policy HDG1 of the Leeds City Council Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (2012), Policy BD6 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)
