Plans to create six flats above restaurants/takeaways at 116 Stanningley Town Street have been refused by council planners.
Applicant Abid Hussain wanted to replace existing storage areas with five, one-bedroom flats, along with a two-bedroom flat.Â
No parking spaces were proposed with the development.
Six letters of objection, including one from Cllr Kevin Ritchie (Lab, Bramley & Stanningley), were submitted. Concerns included highway safety and a lack of parking.
Refusing the application, a council planning officer’s said the development was unacceptable due to the “total absence of acceptable and safe” bin storage provision, as well as a “poor standard” of residential amenity for occupants of all rear-facing bedrooms and living areas.
The report added: “…the intensification of the site would introduce highway safety issues through parking demand on Town Street and nearby streets as the proposal offers no parking provision.”
