Why it was refused

  1. There is a lack of supporting information to give sufficient understanding of the impact of the proposed works on the significance of the listed building. The proposed works therefore lack sufficient justification. This lack of information and justification relates to: the fabric proposed to be altered and removed between the first and second floor to accommodate a new staircase; the removal of the walls between the garden room and utility room walls on the first floor; the condition extend of replacement of the external render; details of the proposed new safety railings; extent of opening up works to accommodate the x2no. wood burners; and the finished appearance of the proposed stone cladding. The proposal does not comply with Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Section 20 policies HE4, HE5 and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026 and Policy ES10 of the Stroud Local Plan 2015.
  2. The cumulative impact of the proposed size, arrangement and the use of UPVC result in the proposed windows and doors being visually awkward and discordant features that harm the significance of the listed building with there being no meaningful public benefit that would outweigh this harm. The proposal does not comply with Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Section 20 policies HE4, HE5 and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026 and Policy ES10 of the Stroud Local Plan 2015.
