Why it was refused

  1. The proposed, north side extension, for a plant room/wc, is considered an unnecessary addition and would harm the character and appearance of the traditional barn in views from within the Conservation Area. As such, the proposals fail to comply with up to date national planning policy as set out in policies N4, HE4, HE6, HE7 and HE9 of the NPPF and fail to comply with policies Core Strategy Policies GSP1, GSP2, GSP3, L1 and L3 of the Core Strategy, policies DM1, DMC3, DMC5, DMC8 and DMC10 of the Development Management Policies and guidance in the Authority’s supplementary planning guidance contained in the Design Guidance and the Conversion of Historic Buildings Supplementary Planning Documents, all of which remain consistent with the policies of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
