Why it was refused
- Because of its age and its role in illustrating the Borough's textile manufacturing heritage the building that the house is part of is considered a Non Designated Heritage Asset. The proposed front dormer would if approved appear as an incongruous and prominent feature on the building, significantly detract from its form and balance and undermine the ability to understand and appreciate its original purpose. As such the proposal would be contrary to policy HE1 and BT1 (i and ii) of the Calderdale Local Plan and paragraph 135 (c and d) and paragraphs 212-216 and of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
