Why it was refused

The principal statutory duty under the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 is to preserve the special character of heritage assets, including their setting. The proposal will substantially alter the form of the cottage and diminish some of its significant featuresf which are integral to the character of the cottage and the CA as a whole. As such, the proposal fails to meet the duty to preserve under the Act and is contrary to Chapter 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy 16 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Policy G17 criteria d) in the South Ribble Local Plan.
The proposed side extension, by virtue of its design, height and scale has a detrimental impact on both the existing dwelling and the attached dwellings As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy G17 criteria a) and the Council's Residential Extensions SPD Design Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
