Why it was refused
- It is considered that, the application would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, in particular the first floor extension which by virtue of its design, size and scale would appear as an obtrusive and overbearing feature that would be out of character and harmful to the special interest of the listed building; The first floor extension has also engulfed the historic 19th century rear wing; The removal of at 17th century staircase and stair enclosure, which previously connected the ground, first and attic floors of the historic house; The unauthorized works to the bakehouse which as constructed, the scale and form of the windows are considered to detract from the previously surviving historic character of the bakehouse, as an ancillary service range. As the harm is considered to be less than substantial and thus para 215 of the NPPF applies. In this case there are not DECISION NOTICE Page 1 considered to be any material public benefits resulting from the development that would outweigh the identified harm. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to the requirements of policy DP34 of the Mid Sussex District Plan and the requirements of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
