Why it was refused

  1. The replacement uPVC windows, by virtue of their prominent location, materials, profile and appearance would result in an incongruous and detrimental impact on the special character and appearance of the host building and Conservation Area. It would also cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the adjoining Grade II Listed Building, with no overriding public benefit. The application is therefore contrary to policies HB1 & HB8 of the Places and Policies Local Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and does not comply with Sections 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
