Why it was refused

  1. The application would cause a very low level of less than substantial harm to the significance and setting of a designated heritage asset due to the use of an inappropriate and inauthentic material for the proposed fenestration. The identified heritage harm is not outweighed by any public benefits. The proposal is contrary to Policies SP09(1) and LP19 of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan 2023 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024. SUMMARY OF POLICIES WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO THE DECISION: LP19 - The Historic Environment NPPF - National Planning Policy Framework

From the council's decision notice.
