Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area

What decided it

The use of brick to enclose the gateway and partially infill the window would create visually discordant and incongruous changes to the stone boundary wall and stone elevation of the dwelling, unacceptably harming the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area.

Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Leeds Core Strategy (as amended by the Core Strategy Selective Review 2019), Policy BD6 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006 Review), Policy HDG1 of the 2012 Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
