About this application

This is a planning application at 14 Market Place Fakenham Norfolk NR21 9BG. North Norfolk has handled 12,496 applications of this type. This one was decided in 76 days, 4 weeks longer than North Norfolk's typical decision time. The site is in the Fakenham conservation area, with 20 listed buildings nearby. There have been 5 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 41 applications across Lancaster South. We hold 1,047 applications in total for the NR21 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The illuminated surround is considered to result in harm to amenity through a notable clash with the other sash windows in the building, which contribute heavily to the building's architectural and historical interest. This harm to amenity is further considered to adversely impact the overall significance of the Fakenham Conservation Area and so is contrary to Policy ENV7 and E5. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.

From the council's decision notice.
