About this application

This is a planning application for window replacement at Oakwood Hall Wylam Northumberland NE41 8BH. Northumberland (County) has handled 16,734 applications of this type. This one was decided in 51 days. There have been 3 other applications at this address. We hold 45 applications in total for the NE41 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. A report outlining the issues affecting windows 3, 10, 21, 33, 35, 37, 38, 40, 44 and justifying why they need to be replaced rather than repaired is required. It is considered that insufficient information has been submitted in this respect. Therefore, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the loss of historic fabric from the Grade II Listed Building in the form of the removal of windows would be justified. The application is considered to be contrary to Policies QOP1, ENV 1 and ENV 7 of the Northumberland local Plan and the principles of the NPPF in this respect.
  2. The information submitted as part of this application is not clear in relation to bat mitigation, and as a result the Local Planning Authority is unable to fully assess this element of the proposal and would need to be subject to further consideration. It is considered that insufficient information has been submitted in this respect. Therefore, the ecological impact of the proposed development cannot be fully assessed, and as such the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that there would be no ecological impact arising from the proposal. The application is considered to be contrary to Policies ENV 1 and ENV 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
