Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposal by virtue of its design and modern contemporary glazing to the rear gable and removal of chimney on the single storey extension which helps reflect the character of the host dwelling it is considered that the proposed extension and alterations would lead to harm at the less than substantial harm to the character and significance of the Grade II Listed Building and to its historic and architectural value. There would be no public benefits which would arise from the proposal, and no clear and convincing justification has been provided for the level of harm. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to the duties contained within Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, as well as Section 16 of the NPPF which forms a material planning consideration. No public benefits which would balance or outweigh the proposed level of harm are identified.

From the council's decision notice.
