Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of their unsympathetic nature the proposals would harm the special interest of this grade II
listed building. It would also fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and
appearance of the Portman Estate Conservation Area. This would not meet Policy 42, 44 and 45 of the
City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026) and the advice set out in our Supplementary Planning Guidance:
Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings. (X17EC)
