Why it was refused

  1. The degree of harm created by the loss of the historic windows in bedroom 1 &2 with ovolo mouldings shown in images ref 1,2,5 on the first floor is unacceptable and harmful to the special character and integrity of the listed building and character and appearance of the conservation area. The loss of the historic windows is considered substantial harm. There are no viable grounds or public benefits that outweigh the harm that would be caused by these alterations. The proposal therefore is contrary to Policy HE 1 of the East Dorset Local Plan 2016 and aims and objections of the NPPF, particularly policy HE2, HE4, HE5, HE6 is relevant.

From the council's decision notice.
