Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer extension would create a bulky, top-heavy form of development that is incongruous to the modest scale of the existing bungalow and the streetscene, thereby harming the character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Leeds Core Strategy (as amended by the Core Strategy Selective Review 2019), Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006), Policy BD6 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006)
