Why it was refused
- The proposed application would result in less than substantial harm to the character and fabric of the heritage asset, providing no benefit in terms of heritage enhancement or conservation. The application of an additional paint layer would not have any bearing on the presumed preservation of the timber beneath. The project does not result in demonstrable public benefits suffice to offset the level of harm identified, nor does it provide an enhancement to its special interest. As such the proposal is contrary to Herefordshire Local Plan - Core Strategy policy LD4, paragraph 213 and 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Sections 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
