We hold 1,228 applications in total for the CM22 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The overall appearance of the proposed annexe by way of the scale of the glazed openings and the fenestration pattern and their overly domestic character would adversely affect the architectural interest and agrarian setting of Bury Farmhouse. The public benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the identified level of harm caused to the designated heritage asset, in conflict with paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024). The proposal would therefore fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building, contrary to Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) and Core Policy 62 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
