Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use would result in rollercoasters that by virtue of their excessive scale, height, massing and visually prominent appearance, would represent incongruous and intrusive features within the site and wider landscape that would compete with and detract from the setting and appreciation of the Grade II Listed Hangars, resulting in less than substantial harm to their significance. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy ST1 of the ALPR (2002), Emerging Policies S2, S14, EV9, SD2 & SD3 of the EALP (2023-2040) and Policies DP3, DP4, HE4, HE5 and HE6 of the NPPF (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
