Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been provided to adequately assess the impact of the proposed works on the historic fabric of the chimney, or its significance. The unnecessary loss of historic fabric would constitute less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building, contrary to policy E9 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016), Section 66 of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas Act) 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for which there are no public benefits to outweigh the harm. On the basis of the current information, it is not considered to conclude that the proposed works would preserve the significance of the heritage asset.

From the council's decision notice.
