Why it was refused

  1. The extensions and alterations proposed to facilitate the conversion of the traditional buildings, which are deemed to be non-designated heritage assets, are considered harmful to their character and appearance and, as such, the proposals fail to comply with guidance contained in the Authority’s Conservation of Historic Buildings Supplementary Planning Document and with policies GSP3 and L3 of the Core Strategy, policies DMC3, DMC5, DMC10, DME5 and DMH7 of the Development Management Policies and policies HE4 and HE7 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to assess the potential impact on bats and, as such, the proposals are contrary to the aims of policy L2 of the Core Strategy, policy DCM11 of the Development Management Policies and policy N2 the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
