Why it was refused

  1. The proposed window would be a partial return to a vernacular form that was deliberately superseded by a more fashionable later element, so causing harm to the special interest of the listed building. The proposals are therefore not in accordance with the objectives and policies for the historic environment stated in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Policies ES10 and CP14 (5) of the Stroud District Local Plan (Adopted 2015) and the Historic Environment Good Practice Advice in Planning, Note 2 - Managing Significance in Decision-Taking in the Historic Environment.
  2. The roof of the canted bay would intrude into the space normally found between the windows in vernacular architecture, both leaving the attic window appearing cramped and diminishing the dominance of the canted bay, so causing harm to the special interest of the listed building. The proposals are therefore not in accordance with the objectives and policies for the historic environment stated in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Policies ES10 and CP14 (5) of the Stroud District Local Plan (Adopted 2015) and the Historic Environment Good Practice Advice in Planning, Note 2 - Managing Significance in Decision-Taking in the Historic Environment.
  3. The design, construction and detailing of the proposed window would be poor, without the good quality stonework that would be expected in a building of this significance, so causing harm to the special interest of the listed building. The proposals are therefore not in accordance with the objectives and policies for the historic environment stated in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Policies ES10 and CP14 (5) of the Stroud District Local Plan (Adopted 2015) and the Historic Environment Good Practice Advice in Planning, Note 2 - Managing Significance in Decision-Taking in the Historic Environment.
  4. The National Planning Policy Framework states that any less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal. No sufficient public benefit has been identified by the proposals and they therefore fail to comply with the expectations of the NPPF.
