Why it was refused

  1. No.45 Grosvenor Street is a grade II listed building located within the Old Town Character Area of Cheltenham's Conservation Area. In accordance with Sections 16(2), 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended), special attention must be paid to the desirability of preserving the building, its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses, as well as preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area. Due to the lack of sufficient information regarding the scope of the proposed works, the significance of the affected heritage asset, and the submission of inadequate drawings, it is not possible to adequately assess the impact of the proposal on the significance of the heritage asset. Furthermore, the proposed bin store within the front garden would result in less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building and to the character and appearance of the conservation area. Having regard to paragraphs 212, 213 and 215 of the NPPF, the harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets is considered to be less than substantial. However, there is no clear or convincing justification for the proposed works, and there the harm identified is not outweighed by the public benefits in this instance. The application fails to provide sufficient information to demonstrate compliance with the statutory duties of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the provisions of the NPPF, and Policy SD8 of the Joint Core Strategy.
