Why it was refused

The proposal is supported by insufficient information to assess the impact of the proposed interventions to this Grade II Listed Building. The Local Planning Authority is only able to conclude, that the potential harm identified to the Listed Building, including its special architectural and historic interest, cannot be fully justified or evaluated. Whilst the harm is likely to be considered less than substantial in the context of the National Planning Policy Framework, great weight is given to this harm. Therefore, the proposal conflicts with policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, Saved policies GP5, BD6, N14 and N17 of the UDPR, sections 12 and 16 of the NPPF and section 16 of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
