About this application
This is a planning application for window replacement at The Old School Front Street Capheaton Northumberland NE19 2AH. Northumberland (County) has handled 16,734 applications of this type. This one was decided in 52 days, 3 days longer than Northumberland (County)'s typical decision time. The site is in the Capheaton conservation area, with 4 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 142 applications in total for the NE19 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- It is considered that insufficient information has been provided to adequately assess the appropriateness of the interventions as submitted within the application. As a result of this, the retention of the windows in this manner is considered inappropriate and harmful to both the significance of the Grade II listed building, and the character and appearance of the Capheaton Conservation Area. The proposed works would therefore result in less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset, and it is not considered that there are demonstrated public benefits resulting from the development that would outweigh the identified harm, failing to accord with the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended) Sections 16(2) and 72 (1). The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies ENV 1, ENV 7 and ENV 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan, and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
