About this application
This is a planning application for window replacement at Rocket House High Street Cley-next-the-sea Holt Norfolk NR25 7RN. North Norfolk has handled 12,496 applications of this type. This one was decided in 80 days, 4 weeks longer than North Norfolk's typical decision time. The site is in the Cley conservation area, with 11 listed buildings nearby. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 115 applications across Coastal. We hold 1,451 applications in total for the NR25 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- In the opinion of the local planning authority the application fails to describe the significance and condition of the existing windows, provides no substantive justification for replacement and does not clearly identify the rear elevation windows affected. The proposed works would therefore result in the loss of historic fabric. Furthermore, whilst the proposed double glazed replacement windows would be to the same general design, their consistent, homogenous appearance would have a deadening effect on the character, authenticity and special interest of the grade II listed building. This and the loss of historic fabric would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset which it has not been demonstrated would be outweighed by any public benefits accruing from the proposed works. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy ENV7 of the North Norfolk Local Plan and the requirements of paragraphs 207, 212 and 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
