Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions by virtue of its location, design, scale, massing, placement, and proximity to the listed building, would significantly detract from the setting of the listed building, contrary to section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Core Policies 61 and 62 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan 2021- 41 and paragraphs HE4, HE5 of NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
