Why it was refused

  1. ;- In this case, the proposals would involve the removal of four complete historic and traditional timber sash windows, causing a loss of significance through the removal of historic fabric which makes a positive contribution to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building. The proposed replacement windows, by virtue of their PVCu construction and non-traditional detailing, would further erode the building’s special architectural and historic interest and have an adverse impact on its character and appearance. The application has failed to demonstrate that the existing historic windows are beyond reasonable repair or otherwise provide clear and convincing justification for their replacement. No public benefits have been identified that would outweigh the less than substantial harm arising from the loss of significance. The proposals are therefore contrary to Sections 16 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Area) Act 1990, paragraphs 212, 213 and 215 of the NPPF and core policy 58.

From the council's decision notice.
