Why it was refused
- The application as proposed (Second Floor Kitchen partition wall removal) alters the historic planform of this Grade II Listed building in a way which harms the character and significance, specifically the planform where this is proposed, leading to a harmful and negative cumulative impact to the fabric and significance of the listed building and is contrary to Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended); Core Strategy (2011) Policies BCS22, Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014) DM3, objectives contained within the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant guidance from Historic England.
From the council's decision notice.
