Why it was refused

  1. The proposed replacement of traditional timber sliding sashes with plastic windows of a plain, modern design would have a detrimental effect on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset and would be a negative element within the setting of two Grade II listed buildings, thus failing to preserve the listed buildings or their setting and causing a low level of ‘less than substantial harm’ to their significance instead. The negative impact on the significance of the NDHA is not considered to have been avoided or minimised, nor has the harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets been avoided, minimised or clearly and convincingly justified. The submitted Planning Statement does not mention any heritage assets whatsoever, so it fails to make the case for the proposed works and to demonstrate compliance with heritage related legislation, policy and guidance. The proposal would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore deemed to fail to comply with s. 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Chapter 16 of the NPPF, Policy CS39 Designated Heritage Assets and Policy CS40 Local Heritage Assets of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy as well as Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (2012).

From the council's decision notice.
