Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of the size and orientation of the proposed development relative to the existing curtilage listed converted barn, the proposal would not represent a subordinate addition to the dwelling or site and would represent a harmful level of overdevelopment of both. The structure, due to its large footprint would visually compete with the historic barn host dwelling, and its scale and orientation would not reflect an ancillary function, or respect the simple modest linear character of the original converted barn. In addition, due to the size and positioning of the development within the setting of the Threshing Barn, The Shire Barn and The grade II* listed Priory, the works would not respect the historic farmstead setting of these buildings, and cumulatively would result in harm to the character of the Broad Marston Conservation Area. In terms of the level of harm with regard to paragraph 215 the NPPF this identified level of harm is considered to be ‘less than substantial’ to the significance of the aforementioned heritage assets. Consequently whilst the works would result in additional space for the applicant, the level of benefit is not considered to outweigh the combined harm to the Threshing Barn and its setting, the setting of The Shire Barn and the grade II* listed Priory as well as the impact on the Broad Marston Conservation Area, as such the proposal is not acceptable and would be contrary to SWDP polices 6, 21 and 24, policy P3 of the Pebworth Neighbourhood Plan, guidance set out in the South Worcestershire SPD Design Guide as well as paragraphs 8, 131 and 210 of the NPPF.
