Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, as a consequence of its inappropriate scale and design, would harmfully detract from the historic character of the host dwelling and result in a less than substantial level of harm to its significance as a grade II listed building. Consequently whilst the works would result in additional space for the applicant, the level of benefit is not considered to outweigh the harm to Inglenook, a grade II listed building, as such the proposal is not acceptable and would be contrary to South Worcestershire Development Plan polices 6, 21 and 24, policy P6 of the Broadwas and Cotheridge Neighbourhood Development Plan, guidance set out in the South Worcestershire SPD Design Guide as well as section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework by failing to preserve the character of a listed building and would not align with the Council’s duty to protect Listed Buildings under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
