Why it was refused

The proposed replacement of a rear entrance door and replacement of existing casement windows with sash windows to the listed building and lowering of the front door threshold, would amount to less than substantial harm to the special historic and architectural interest of the Grade II Listed Building. Insufficient information and justification have been provided to adequately assess the level of harm or identify sufficiently outweighing benefits, and therefore it is concluded that there are insufficient public benefits to justify the harm that would be caused. Therefore, the development conflicts with the NPPF 2023, policy SADM29, SADM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Polices Plan (2016) and policy CS14, CS22 of Hertsmere's Core Strategy (2016).

From the council's decision notice.
