Why it was refused

  1. Impact on Grade II Listed Building The proposed works would result in harm to a designated heritage asset (a Grade II Listed Building). Insufficient justification has been provided for the proposed works and there are no public benefits arising that would outweigh the identified harm. The proposal would not be in accordance with Section 16(2) of the Planning (LBCA) Act 1990, Policies ENV 1, ENV 7 or ENV 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan or Policies HE6 and HE9 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
