| 1. | The are no public benefits to the proposed works which would lead to substantial harm to a designated heritage asset and therefore the application is refused in accordance with paragraph 195 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The inappropriate glazing and materials proposed for the windows would significantly reduce the importance of the building and therefore should be resisted in line with paragraphs 184 and 192 a )of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 2. | The details that accompany the application are insufficient to make a determination; there are only limited details of the proposed windows and no proposed elevation drawings showing the alterations. The absence of sufficient details and heritage statement is contrary to paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework and demonstrates that the significance of the heritage asset has not been considered as part of the application. The lack of information prevents a conclusive assessment to be made, the details that have been provided indicate an inappropriate form of development which would have a significant adverse impact on the distinctiveness of the listed building and conservation area and would erode the character contrary to policy CS9 of the adopted Core Strategy. |
| 3. | The insertion of windows of inappropriate materials, design and glazing would not improve the heritage asset and would be detrimental to the appearance and value contrary to policy CS10 of the adopted Core Strategy. Furthermore, the proposed windows labelled O to CC on the southern extension are not sympathetic to the character of the building and its surroundings and is therefore contrary to saved policy BNV18 from the Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 4. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above. |
