Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by reason of its siting, form and design, represent a dominant and unsympathetic form of development detrimental to the visual amenities of the building and would result in an unacceptable level of harm to the character of the conservation area. As such the proposed development would be contrary to policies DM5 and DM24 of the Worthing Local Plan and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
