Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, by virtue of its form, siting, design and relationship with the listed building, would appear as a visually intrusive and discordant addition to the host dwelling, detracting from the significance of the listed building and the significance, character and appearance of Bury Conservation Area which would be neither preserved nor enhanced. The proposal would therefore result in harm to the significance of these designated heritage assets. No public benefits have been identified that would outweigh this harm. The proposal would therefore fail to conserve and enhance the significance of the designated heritage assets and would be contrary to Policies SD1, SD4, SD5, SD12, SD13, SD15, SD20 and SD31 of the South Downs Local Plan, Sections 66 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policies HE4, HE5, HE6 and HE9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026), and the purposes and duty of the South Downs National Park.

From the council's decision notice.
