Why it was refused

The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the Grade II* Wellesbourne Hall. The public benefits arising from the proposed development are moderate to limited and the Local Planning Authority does not consider that they outweigh the identified harm to the heritage assets. The application consequently fails to comply with Policy CS.8 of the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy (2011-2031), Policy WW3 and WW11 of the adopted Wellesbourne and Walton Neighbourhood Plan and Paragraphs 213, 215 and 221 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Case Officer: Malwina Idziak Reference No.

From the council's decision notice.
