Why it was refused

The installed signage by nature of its scale and position is considered to detract from the signficance of the listed building. The harm is considered to be less than substantial. The Local Planning Authority does not consider there to be public benefits arising from the proposal that would outweigh the harm caused to the significance of the listed building. Therefore, the proposal would not preserve the designated heritage asset and would not be in accordance with Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy CS27 of the Dacorum Core Strategy (2013) and saved Policy 119 of the Dacorum Local Plan (2004). This application was supported by the following documents: 2015-LP (Site Location Plan) 2015-E (Existing and Proposed Plans In One) 2015-HS (Heritage Statement) Date of Decision Notice: 29th May 2026 Application Number: 26/00855/LBC

From the council's decision notice.
