Why it was refused

  1. The proposed amendments to the roofing material over plots 2, 5, 6 & 7 are considered unacceptable as it would cause harm to the special significance of these important historic buildings and would be contrary to Sections 16(2) and 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Policies ENV 1, ENV7 & QOP1 of the Northumberland Local Plan and NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
