Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works by virtue of its inappropriate location, placement, visibility and insufficient information, would significantly detract from the listed building's setting and appreciation of its historic group value. The proposals thus result in less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and this is not outweighed by public benefits contrary to section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Core Policies 52, 61 and 62 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan 2021-41 and NPPF, with regard to section 16.

From the council's decision notice.
