Why it was refused

  1. REASON(S) FOR REFUSAL - HARM TO HERITAGE ASSET The proposed rear extension would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the grade II listed building at 47-49 Church Street, Eye. In the absence of any public benefits that would outweigh the identified harm, the proposal is contrary to Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy LP19 of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (2023), and paragraphs 212 to 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024). Listed building consent is therefore refused. SUMMARY OF POLICIES WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO THE DECISION: Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (JLP) (2023) SP09 - Enhancement and Management of the Environment LP19 - Historic Environment National Planning Policy and Guidance NPPF - National Planning Policy Framework PPG - National Planning Practice Guidance

From the council's decision notice.
