Why it was refused

  1. The joinery details submitted are insufficient to discharge Condition 5 of planning permission 2024/0591/VRC. The information provided comprises only generic, typical details and does not show each individual joinery item as required by the condition. As a result, it is not possible to assess the suitability of the proposals or to identify which sections correspond to the approved elevations. Furthermore, the proposed use of aluminium frames is not considered appropriate for curtilage listed buildings. The Local Planning Authority is therefore unable to confirm that the details are acceptable or that they comply with the approved scheme, and the condition cannot be discharged. The submission is consequently contrary to Development Policy 3 of the Mendip District Local Plan Part 1: Strategies & Policies 2006-2029 (Adopted 2014).

From the council's decision notice.
