Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement garage, by reason of its siting, scale, design and appearance, would harm the historic character and significance of the courtyard within the application site and the setting of the neighbouring Grade II Listed Round House. The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage asset, which is not outweighed by public benefits. The development is therefore contrary to Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policies GD8 and HC1 of the Harborough Local Plan, Policy H6 of the Great Bowden Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Nicola Parry PP Development Planning Manager 26/00741/FUL - Demolition of existing garage and erection of a new garage, Upper House , 75 Main Street, Great Bowden.
From the council's decision notice.
