Why it was refused

  1. The works, by reason of the loss and alteration of historic fabric, inappropriate alteration of the form and detailing of the curtilage-listed boundary walling, widening of the vehicular opening and loss of the historic pedestrian entrance and associated walling, have eroded the historic enclosure and legibility of the farmstead and caused harm to the significance of the Grade II listed Manor Farmhouse and associated historic farmstead grouping. No clear and convincing justification has been demonstrated for the particular form and extent of the works undertaken, and the identified heritage harm is not outweighed by any public benefits arising from the proposal. Accordingly, the works fail to preserve the listed building and features of special architectural and historic interest which contribute to its significance, contrary to Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Policies HE4, HE5 and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
