Why it was refused

It has not been demonstrated how the new boundary treatment would physically attach to East Lodge and West Lodge. In the absence of this information the Local Planning Authority cannot conclude whether there would be any unacceptable impacts on the fabric of the buildings which could harm their significance. No public benefits have been identified. The development would therefore be contrary to Policies CP1 and CP12 of the Core Strategy (adopted October 2011), Policy DM3 of the Development Management Policies LDD (adopted July 2013), and the NPPF (2024).
