Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in the removal of solid external wall which is a positive feature of a non-designated heritage asset building within the Dartmouth Conservation Area. This would neither preserve, nor enhance, the special interest of the conservation area and would result in less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset that is not outweighed by public benefits, contrary to the provisions of Policy DEV20 and DEV21 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan, paragraphs 202-216 of the National Planning Policy Framework, and the statutory duty of Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, or Policy DNP TE3 of the Dartmouth Neighbourhood Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
