Why it was refused

  1. Contrary to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas)(Scotland) Act 1997 the proposals will not have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building and its setting and will adversely impact on its special architectrual or historic interest
  2. For the reasons noted below, the proposed development would detract from the architectural character and special interest of the Category B listed building. It is contrary to Policy 7 Historic Assets and Places of National Planning Framework 4, Policies CDP 1 The Placemaking Principle, CDP 9 Historic Environment and Supplementary Guidance SG 1 Placemaking and SG 9 Historic Environment of the adopted Glasgow City Development Plan.
  3. The unauthorised works have resulted in a loss of architectural detail, negatively impacting the character of the Listed Building; contrary to NPF4 Policy 7 and CDP1, SG1 (Part 1), CDP 9, and SG9 of the adopted Glasgow City Development Plan
  4. The methods used, including pressure washing, diamond grinding and the extensive use of lime repair mortar, are contrary to the guidance in SG9 of the Glasgow City Development Plan. The chosen methods are abrasive and invasive, damaging the stonework and architectural details therefore showing a lack of understanding of the historic significance of the Listed Building, contrary to NPF Policy 7.
  5. The indentation of new stone should be accompanied by a petrographic analysis of the existing material to ensure a chemical match. This has not been undertaken, contrary to NPF4 Policy 7 and SG9 of the Glasgow City Development Plan THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENT AND SHOULD BE KEPT SECURE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Drawings The development has been refused in relation to the following drawing(s)
