Why it was refused

  1. The installation of four of the proposed six windows would result in the loss of the historic fabric which contributes to the special architectural and historic interest of the Listed Building. Without detailed information on the proposed windows, it is not possible to fully assess the extent or nature of the harm. Such uncertainty raises concern that the works may fail to preserve or enhance the character of the heritage asset and could introduce unsympathetic alterations that detract from the building's historic character and appearance, harming its significance. The proposed works are therefore considered contrary to the requirements of Section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy 44 of the County Durham Plan, and Part 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

From the council's decision notice.
