Why it was refused

  1. The proposal works would harm the character and significance of the listed building via the loss of historic fabric in the form of the front elevation windows. No objective justification has been provided that demonstrates that the windows are beyond their useful life or that the objectives for increasing thermal efficiency could not be achieved in an alternative way which avoids harm to the buildings’ significance in line with the NPPF requirements. The harm, although less than substantial, is therefore not outweighed by any public benefits, including securing the heritage asset’s optimum viable use. The proposal is contrary to Section 16(2) and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990; chapter 16 of the NPPF (paras 212, 213 and 215) and policy CP58 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (Adopted January 2015).

From the council's decision notice.
