19/00166/FUL – Retention of roller shutter doors to car park entrance

B&M Retail Limited, 25-27 Market Street, Lichfield

For: B&M Retail

 

RESOLVED:  That planning permission be refused for the following reason:-

 

The proposal by reason of its siting and design introduces a prominent and incongruous feature to the existing building and, as a consequence, has a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the Lichfield City Conservation Area.  The proposal therefore fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.  It is not considered that any public benefits of the scheme would outweigh the less than substantial harm that would be caused to the designated heritage asset.  The development is therefore contrary to Policies C2 (Character of Conservation Areas) and C7 (Buildings out of Scale or Character) of the Lichfield District Local Plan (1998) (saved policies); Policies BE1 (High Quality Development) and Core Policy 14 (Our Built and Historic Environment) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015); the emerging Policy BE2 (Heritage Assets) of the Local Plan Allocations Document; the Historic Environment Supplementary Document and Government Guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
