Why it was refused
- The impact and protrusion of the proposal into the open space in front of it, combined with the identified heritage harm mean that the proposal is considered to be contrary to Local Plan Policy ENV7 and Policy ENV8 through its failure to preserve or enhance the designated heritage assets and historic environment.
- The resultant impact of the ATM and the accessible ramp would interfere with the symmetry of the front elevation of the affected Grade II Listed Building, a feature that gains its significance from its balanced proportions and detailing, thereby resulting in harm to the designated heritage asset. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy ENV7 as it would fail to preserve or enhance the designated heritage asset.
- The proposal would obscure features of architectural or historical interest and is uncharacteristic of a buildings design and so conflicts with the aims of Local Plan Policy E4 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.
