Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement of traditional Collyweston slate with Welsh slate would result in unjustified harm to the historic significance of this Grade II listed building. Collyweston slate is a distinctive vernacular material that makes a fundamental contribution to the building's character, appearance, and authenticity. Its removal would erode the asset's architectural integrity and diminish its evidential and historic value. While the harm would be categorised as "less than substantial" in NPPF terms, it remains harmful and must be given considerable importance and weight in the decision-making process. No clear and convincing justification has been advanced to outweigh this harm, and there is no substantive evidence to demonstrate that the retention or repair of the existing slate, or its replacement on a like-for-like basis, is unviable. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve the listed building and its features of special architectural and historic interest, contrary to Sections 16(2) and 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. It also conflicts with the National Planning Policy Framework, which requires great weight to be given to the conservation of designated heritage assets and makes clear that harm must be clearly justified and convincingly outweighed by public benefits. and Policies CS22 of the Core Strategy and SP20 of the Site Allocation and Policies DPD.
