Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed alterations by reason of their unsympathetic scale, proportions, detailing and materials is considered to erode the historic character of the building and be harmful to the significance of the listed building, including its special architectural and historic interest contrary to Policies P10 and P11 of the Core Strategy, Policies N14 and N17 of the UDPR and guidance contained within the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
