Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted to enable a full assessment of the impact of the proposed works on the significance of the listed building and the character of the conservation area. The application fails to provide adequate detail on the proposal or justification why the proposal is considered the most appropriate solution. As a result, it has not been demonstrated that the works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the heritage assets or that any harm has been clearly and convincingly justified. The proposal therefore conflicts with Sections 16(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policies DP3, DP1 and DP7 of the adopted Mendip District Local Plan Part 1 (2014) and Policies HE4, HE5, HE6 and HE9 of Chapter 20 the National Planning Policy Framework (August 2026).

From the council's decision notice.
