Why it was refused
- The proposal, by reason of its design, size, scale, siting and form would amount to an addition to the heritage asset which is unsympathetic, and dominates and overwhelms its original form, with an uncharacteristic addition to the property that would detract from the appearance and significance of the designated heritage asset. The proposal would fail to enhance or preserve the heritage asset and would lead to less than substantial harm to the Listed Building that has not been demonstrated as being outweighed by a benefit to the public, contrary to Policies HA1 and HA7 of the East Herts District Plan 2018, the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
