Why it was refused

  1. The works would adversely affect the special architectural and historical interest of the listed building and conservation area amounting to harm to the heritage assets. The limited public benefits associated with the works would not outweigh the identified harm. It is therefore in conflict with policies L3, DMC3, DMC5, DMC7, DMC8, DMH7, as well as National Decision Making Policies HE4, HE6, DP3 and NE4.

From the council's decision notice.
