The proposed lift would, by reason of its form, design and additional storey, together with the lack of detailed information of the modifications required to install the lift and the plan discrepancies, result in less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset without providing public benefit to outweigh the harm. As such, the proposals fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest, character and significance of the listed building and th character and appearance of the conservation area, contrary to policies CL3, CL4, CL9 and CL11 of the Local Plan 2019, and guidance contained within the NPPF.

Refused despite pre-apps and discussions
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website, and offers a pre-application advice service. Pre-application advice was sought and provided, and improvements recommended during assessment of the application. Unfortunately this advice was not adhered to. Nevertheless, the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of a new planning application.
