Decision
Refusal of Listed Building Consent on 5th July 2019
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The removal of the staircase and walls represents a high level of less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and is not sufficiently outweighed by public benefits as per paragraph 196 of the NPPF. This means that the proposal fails to preserve or enhance the special historic and architectural interest of the building and is contrary to Sec 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The works would also be contrary to policy CSEN 3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy , policies CON 2 and CON 3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and to the NPPF.
The proposed external staircase to the rear of the building would involve the insertion of a door at first floor level which would interrupt the pattern of fenestration on this part of the building. It would also require the removal of the original stone walling below the window cill. This, together with the associated enclosed panelled section would appear incongruous within the context of what have been modest and traditionally detailed additions to the rear. As such this part of the proposal would result in unacceptable loss of historic fabric and would adversely affect the character of the listed building contrary to policy CSEN3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and saved policies CON2 and CON3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and to the NPPF
