About this application

Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement outbuilding, by reason of its scale, massing and bulk, would fail to preserve the significance and setting of the Grade II listed Lawn House by eroding the established hierarchy between the principal dwelling and its ancillary structures. In addition, insufficient details of the proposed tennis court enclosure and associated works have been provided to enable a full assessment of their impact on the significance and setting of the listed building. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies HE1, HE2, HE5 and HE8 of the Winchester District Local Plan 2020-2040 and Policies HE4, HE5 and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026.
- Insufficient ecological information has been submitted in relation to the proposed removal of three ash trees identified as having potential bat roost features. In the absence of adequate survey information, the Local Planning Authority cannot fully assess the impacts on protected species or discharge its duties under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended). The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies NE4 and NE5 of the Winchester District Local Plan 2020-2040. , Corporate Head of Planning and Regulatory Services.
From the council's decision notice.
