Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its siting, massing and detailed design, would result in a discordant and inappropriate form of development which would fail to respect the character, appearance and setting of the historic host property, which is a Grade II Listed Building, and would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Hythe Conservation Area and the setting of the neighbouring Grade II Listed property, No. 15 St Johns Street. As such, the proposed development 26/10079 would be contrary to policy ENV3 of the Local Plan 2016-2036 Part 1 : Planning Strategy, policy DM1 of the Local Plan Part 2 : Sites and Development Management 2014, and policy D1 and policy D3 of the Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Plan. The proposed development would lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets and fails to meet the tests in paragraphs 213 and 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework, as the development does not bring public benefits, and therefore the harm caused to the designated heritage assets is unjustified. The development does not conform with the duty on decision makers to ensure that Listed Buildings are preserved and protected, and their setting is preserved or enhanced, as set out in Section 66(1) and Section 72 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
