Why it was refused

  1. The host building is a simple converted vernacular agrarian building. Buildings of this nature buildings should have traditional materials with simple openings, sympathetically aligned with the typical agrarian features of their original form. The proposed use of UPVC windows and door replacements are not by way of their material choice or design/form be considered appropriate and would be considered contrary to Polices CP3, and BE1 of the Lichfield Local Plan Strategy, the Rural Development Supplementary Planning Document (2015) and the guidance in the Lichfield design code and the NPPF

From the council's decision notice.
