Why it was refused

  1. The aesthetic value of Northshore derives from its group value as part of the wider white painted stone terrace in a visually and historically important part of the Newton Ferrers Conservation Area. The introduction of slate hang would change its appearance, eroding part of what makes the building special while the introduction of composite cladding to the outbuilding is an incongruous material in this historical context. The development would neither preserve nor enhance the special interest of the Conservation Area and would result in less than substantial harm to a heritage asset that is not outweighed by public benefits. This would be contrary to the provisions of Policy DEV20 and DEV21 of the adopted Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan, Policy N3P-8 of the made Newton Ferrers Neighbourhood Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework including but not limited to paragraphs 202-216.

From the council's decision notice.
