Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would fail to respect and conserve historic and positive existing relationships between the listed building and its surroundings and would cause harm to the setting of the listed buildings. The proposal would also cause harm to the setting of the Lord Street Conservation Area. While the benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the harm caused. The proposal fails to comply with policies NH11 and NH12 of the Local Plan.
