Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement extension to Egypt House would cause harm to the significance of the heritage asset through the loss of the existing 19th century lean-to addition, considered overall to contribute to the significance and historic legibility of this designated heritage asset. The proposal would result in visual harm as result of the replacement of the existing extension with that of the larger extension, and where as a result of its design, appearance and pallete of materials would result in an awkward addition that poorly relates to the existing main building and the 1980s extension. The heritage asset would not be conserved or preserved in a manner appropriate to its significance and harm would not be avoided (or minimised). The proposals would result in harm to the significance of the heritage asset, which although not substantial, would clearly have a negative effect on the identified significance of this listed building, for which no clear or convincing justification has been provided for the harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, saved Policies GD2, EN1, EN27 and DC19 (HG10) of the Wealden Local Plan 1998 and Spatial Planning Objectives SPO1, SPO2, SPO13 and Policy WCS14 of the adopted Core Strategy Local Plan 2013, together with the guidance contained within Chapter 12 of the Wealden Design Guide 2008 and Chapter 20 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026 and Objective S3 of the High Weald Management Plan. 2.
From the council's decision notice.
