Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would be contrary to policies SP1, SP6 and ENV13 of the Ashford Local Plan to 2030, and to Central Government Guidance in the form of the National Planning Policy Framework and therefore constitutes development contrary to the interests of acknowledged planning importance for the following reasons:  The proposed works, will alter the character and planform of the listed building, and will create an illegible space that does not complement nor enhance the significance of the listed building, without any overriding public benefit to outweigh this harm.  As a result of the above and the excessive scale, the proposal would detract from the appearance of the building in a manner that would be detrimental to visual amenity.

From the council's decision notice.
