Why it was refused

  1. It is not clear from the information submitted as part of this application what the heritage impacts of the proposed development are. It is considered that insufficient information has been submitted in this respect. Therefore, the heritage impact of the proposed development cannot be fully assessed, and as such the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that there would be no harm to the heritage asset or its setting. Therefore, the application is considered to be contrary to Policies ENV 1 and ENV 7 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
