Admin / proceduralCommercial premises

Proposal

Installation of furniture and planting to create external amenity space NON MATERIAL AMENDMENT to The amendments relate to minor adjustments to the approved ground-floor corner unit glazing and door arrangement, and modest refinements to the existing roof-terrace layout. At ground level, the proposal updates the door and fixed-glazing configuration to match the existing curtain-wall system more closely and improve operational functionality. At roof level, the proposal introduces a lightweight retractable canopy and form an internal lounge within the established terrace area, along with access and screening adjustments to support usability and weather protection. All works sit entirely within the existing built form, do not increase the building footprint or height, and maintain the approved architectural language and materials. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

Leeds City Centre conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
A4D01. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
In flood zones plus climate change
Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From rivers. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.
