Why it was refused
- The proposed extensions would result in disproportionate additions which represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Additionally, the proposal would adversely affect Green Belt openness. Very special circumstances do not exist. Consequently, the proposal would be contrary to Policy SADM34 of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed development would materially harm the significance and character of the Grade II Listed Building and whilst this is considered to result in less than substantial harm, public benefits to outweigh the identified harm do not exist. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies SP1, SP9 and SADM15 of the Local Plan, the Supplementary Design Guidance, National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
- Insufficient information has been provided as part of this application to enable the Local Planning Authority to fully assess if the development would maintain, protect, conserve and enhance biodiversity at the application site. Accordingly, the development would be contrary to Policy SADM16 of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
