Planning Decision

Decision
Refuse

Why it was refused

  1. The retention of the clay roof tiles and dry fix ridge system is considered to result in harm to the significance and architectural interest of the listed host dwelling. The installed materials are considered incompatible with the existing roof and as such fail to comply with Policy CP62 of the Uttlesford Local Plan 2021-2041 and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
