Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development through the loss of existing positive features and the introduction of additions and alterations which represent a considerably poorer alternative in architectural and design terms would lead to an incongruous form of development that fails to respect its context in this part of the Conservation Area. In particular the mismatch of styles, forms and materials proposed would lead to an unsympathetic end development which is out of character with the original positive building and other positive buildings within the wider streetscene in which the host property is situated. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area with the proposal offering no public benefits capable of outweighing the identified harm. As such it is considered that the proposal would be contrary to the wider aims of Core Strategy policies P10, P11 and P12, saved UDP policies GP5, BD6, and N19, Householder Design Guide SPD policy HDG1 and the guidance within the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
