About this application
This is a planning application for a side extension at 60 Market Street Harlow Essex CM17 0AQ. Harlow has handled 847 applications of this type. This one was decided in 102 days, 8 weeks longer than Harlow's typical decision time. The site is in the Old Harlow conservation area, with 10 listed buildings nearby. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 401 applications in total for the CM17 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed extensions would obscure the external chimney stack which is an important and prominent feature of the listed building and the works will also fail to achieve an appropriately subservient relationship with the host dwelling which in turn fails to preserve or enhance the special architectural and historic interest of the conservation area and would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of this designated heritage asset. The public benefits of the proposal, being the private domestic benefit of improved residential accommodation, do not amount to the clear public benefit necessary to outweigh the identified harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policies PL1, PL12 and WE5 of the Harlow Local Development Plan (December 2020), the Old Harlow Conservation Area Management Plan (2013) and Management Plan (SPD), Paragraph 212 and Paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), and the statutory duty imposed by Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
