Application progress
Refused on 15 Jan 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 9 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Uttlesford Planning Committee on 14 Jan 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the outbuilding harmed listed buildings and the conservation area, without public benefits to outweigh that harm.
- The town council, conservation officer and a local objector raised concerns about design, heritage impact, materials and visual intrusion.
- The committee voted to refuse permission and invited a new application.
