Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its scale, form and alterations to the building's elevations, openings and roof, would erode the building's agricultural character and legibility, resulting in harm to its significance and to its contribution to the setting of the Grade II listed Tanners Farmhouse. This harm is identified as less than substantial harm; however, it attracts considerable importance and weight at the low to mid level of the spectrum. No public benefits have been demonstrated that would outweigh this harm. The proposal therefore fails to satisfy the statutory duty under Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and is contrary to Core Policies 61, 62 and 64 of the Uttlesford Local Plan (2026), Policy STEB1 of the Stebbing Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
