Why it was refused

  1. On the basis of the limited information available, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposed aluminium windows and doors would not detract from the historical and architectural integrity of the local interest building, considered a non-designated heritage asset, or that the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Chapel Road Conservation Area. As such the proposal is considered contrary to policies DM5 and DM24 Worthing Local Plan (2023), and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
