Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of the location, siting and design of the proposed development, would result in an incongruous addition to the host dwelling, failing to preserve the spatial and historic qualities of the courtyard of Capel Court, and that of the designated heritage asset. The proposal results in a negative impact on the character, layout and appearance of the courtyard and harm to the setting of the listed building, contrary to Policies HOU11, DES4, HA1, 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.
