Why it was refused
- The proposed porch, by reason of its siting, materials and form, would form a discordant and intrusive feature and would fail to conserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Grade II Listed Building. Furthermore, the porch would result in a clumsy addition, encroaching on historic architectural features, in particular stone quoins and an original window with highly significant hood moulding, which would harm the historic and architectural significance and ability to appreciate the understanding of the historic evolution of Shaws Lane Top Farm. The proposal would be considered to result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and no clear and convincing justification has been provided for this harm, and the harm would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policy HE1 of CALDERDALE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL 26/00173/LBC WARD: 12 PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION AREAS) ACT 1990 NOTIFICATION TO BE SENT TO APPLICANT ON REFUSAL OF LISTED BUILDING CONSENT , OR GRANT OF CONSENT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS
From the council's decision notice.
