Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of the loss of historic fabric, layout and character, the removal of the chimney breast
at rear lower ground floor level harms the significance of this grade II listed building. This
would be against the advice set out in Policy 39 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (April 2021) and
the advice set out in our 'Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and Alterations to Listed
Buildings'.
2
Given the insufficient information to demonstrate the full nature of the works to ceilings
including in association with new lighting, the works are not justified in terms of fully illustrating
the impact on character and fabric of this listed building. We believe that the work could harm
the special interest of the building. This would not meet Policy 39 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040
(April 2021) and the advice set out in our 'Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and
Alterations to Listed Buildings'. (X22BD)
