Why it was refused

By reason of its design, scale, and layout the proposal would have an adverse effect on the internal setting and interior architectural character of the building. The proposal would lead to less than substantial harm to the Listed Building and it is not considered that the harm would be outweighed by the public benefit, 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.
