18 Wyck Rissington Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL54 2PN

1. 1.18 Wyck Rissington is a grade II listed building. The Local Planning Authority is statutorily required to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building, its setting, and any features of special architectural or historic interest it may possess. The building lies within the Wyck Rissington Conservation Area, wherein the Local Planning Authority is statutorily obliged to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the area. The proposed swimming pool, by virtue of its location, design and proposed appearance, would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building, and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Wyck Rissington Conservation Area. The significance of these designated heritage assets would be diminished, and without sufficient public benefits to resolve the harm. The proposals would consequently fail to accord with Local Plan Policies EN10 and EN11, Section 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, and to grant permission would be to fail to comply with Policy HE6(4) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed disposal of swimming pool water to ground would provide a suitable means of drainage without resulting in an unacceptable risk of surface water runoff, waterlogging, flooding of adjoining land or groundwater pollution. The proposal therefore fails to demonstrate that an appropriate and environmentally acceptable means of disposing of pool water can be achieved contrary to Policy EN14 of the Local Plan and Policy F7 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
