Why it was refused

  1. The development by reason of its siting, size, scale, roof form and design alongside inappropriate materials and fenestration would detract from the traditional form, proportions, features and materiality of the listed building, causing harm to its significance. The proposals would result in less than substantial harm to the listed building and there are no public benefits that would outweigh this harm. The application is not acceptable and is contrary to the policies HA1, HA7 of the District Plan, the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
