Why it was refused

  1. The application proposes the removal of part of a significant and important element of the listed building and as such results in harm arising to the significance of the designated heritage assets of the listed building itself, as well as the Lacock Conservation Area. The proposed replacement built form is not considered to be of appropriately high quality design and appearance, exacerbating the harm arising. This harm and adverse effects substantially outweigh the public benefits arising and as such the application should be determined in accordance with the development plan, with the design and heritage harm arising conflicting with Core Policies 57(i)(iii) and (iv), and 58 (WCS), as well as Policy S4 and Section 20 (HE4, HE5, HE6 and HE9) of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
