Why it was refused

  1. The Lion and Lamb is Grade II listed. The Local Planning Authority has a duty under Section 66(1) 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the setting and significance of any features of special architectural or historical interest. The development by way of its inappropriate design would be harmful to the architectural interest and significance of the listed building as its apperance of the container is too modern and industrial. Having regard to the guidance in paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Local Planning Authority has considered the public benefits associated with the development but concludes that these would not outweigh the harm caused to the setting of the designated heritage asset. The proposals are thereby contrary to Policy CP52 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan 2026 (as Adopted) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
