Why it was refused

  1. The application seeks to vary Condition 2 (approved plans) to amend the approved elevation drawings, including the use of UPVC and timber-faced UPVC windows and the substitution of the approved cast iron balustrade with a stone balustrade. The proposal would consolidate harm arising from unauthorised works and would materially diminish the standard of design secured under the original permission, resulting in less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Berwick- upon-Tweed Conservation Area which is not outweighed by public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies QOP 1, QOP 2, QOP 6, ENV 1, ENV 7 and ENV 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and the statutory duties under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
