Why it was refused

  1. The replacement of the historic stone lintel with an unsuitable modern timber lintel is not a like for like replacement, by way of the material and design, and has resulted in the loss of historic fabric and causes harm to the architectural and historic significance of the Grade II listed building. The works fail to preserve the special interest of the heritage asset, contrary to Sections 16 and 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The harm identified is not supported by clear and convincing justification, as required by Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The intervention is considered to result in harm bordering on substantial harm. Furthermore, the replacement lintel does not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wing Conservation Area. The proposal therefore conflicts with the statutory duty to preserve heritage assets and is contrary to Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CS22 of the Core Strategy (2011), Policy SP20 of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD (2014), and Policy HBE7 and Appendix 3 of the Wing Neighbourhood Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
