Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rooflight, due to its size, detailing and position, would form an intrusive feature to the roof, resulting in visual clutter that harms the architectural character, appearance and significance of the Grade II listed building for which no clear or convincing justification or public benefit has been provided. The proposal is therefore contrary to Places abd Policies Local Plan Policies HB1 and HB8 and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
