REFUSE for the reason:

The proposed rear extension by virtue of its design, scale and mass would disrupt and dominate the historical character and appearance of the listed building and would be an incongruous and unsympathetic addition that would result in less than substantial harm which is not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal. The proposal is contrary to policy E9 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act (1990) and paragraph 205 of the NPPF.
