Why it was refused
- The proposed extension to the building would remove the side wall of the existing bakehouse / washhouse, increasing its width significantly with contrasting, incompatible, and unsympathic design elements and materials. The result would be a flat roofed glazed addition at odds with the two historic buildings, creating an awkward juxtaposition between the listed host dwelling and its subservient outbuilding. There will also be a notable loss of fabric which contributes to the significance of the building and the addition would further diminish this significance. This is considered harmful, resulting in less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and not preserving its special interest, with negligible public benefit, contrary to section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy CP62 of the Uttlesford Local Plan 2021-2041 and the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
