Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works would cause substantial loss of historic fabric from the rear elevation and the historic newel stair and joinery, and erosion of the historic floor plan. Furthermore the incongruous modern appearance of the proposed rear extension and rear dormer would detract from the architectural interest of the building. The proposed works would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of 12, Quay Hill, and there are no public benefits associated with the proposed works that would outweigh the identified harm. Therefore the proposed works would fail to conserve the significance of a designated heritage asset and as such would be contrary to Policy DM1 of the New Forest District Local Plan, Part 2 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
