Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works, including the removal of the ground floor chimney breast, elements of the proposed damp course treatment and other internal works including the location and amount of new stud partition, would be invasive to the listed building, harmful to its significance in terms of historic plan form and in representing inappropriate intervention. Insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate these harmful interventions would be justified or represent the most appropriate course of action. The scheme would be harmful to the listed building at the less than substantial level; this harm is not outweighed by the public benefit. The scheme is therefore in conflict with Section 16 of the NPPF, Policy CS22 of the Rutland Core Strategy, Policy SP20 of the Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document and policy C&H2 of the Neighbourhood Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
