Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The proposed works would compromise the significance of the listed building and the special interest of this unique group of cottages and the village conservation area. Under the tests of the NPPF and Local Plan Policies ENV7 and ENV8, the harm is considered to be less-than-substantial and at a moderate level given that the impact would be to the group as well as the individual cottage. There are no public benefits that would outweigh the identified harm.
From the council's decision notice.
