Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of sufficient information and by reason of the development’s scale, massing and overall design, the proposals would fail to conserve or enhance the important character and special architectural and historic interest of Bird Place as a Grade II Listed Building, for which no adequate justification has been provided. As such, there would be undue harm to the significance and appearance of the listed building and its setting. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies CP1 and CP3 of the Core Strategy, Policy TB24 of the MDD Local Plan and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. By reason of the development’s scale, massing and overall design, the proposals would fail to conserve or enhance the historic settings of the Remenham Bridge Conservation Area, Henley Conservation Area and Henley Bridge, a Grade I Listed Structure, consequently harming their special architectural and historic interests. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies CP1 and CP3 of the Core Strategy, Public: Information that can be seen and used by everyone inside and outside the Council. Policy TB24 of the MDD Local Plan and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
