Why it was refused

  1. It is considered that the proposal causes, and has caused, harm to the historic fabric, circulation, character and significance of the listed building, contrary to the aims of section 16 of the Act, the NPPF and CP58, by virtue of the loss of a large section of likely original C17 timber floor structure, as well as damage to or loss of historic floorboards, the introduction of steel beams and the unsympathetic design, materials and position of the new stair, without clear and convincing justification (NPPF HE4.2) or identifiable public benefits (NPPF HE6.4).

From the council's decision notice.
