Summary
The applicant wants to build an agricultural structure on the Bossington Estate to store farm machinery. This type of application asks the council whether full planning permission is needed, or whether the building can go ahead under existing agricultural rights. The site is in a rural area near Broughton in Hampshire. Houghton Mill, a Grade II listed building, is about a minute's walk away. The River Test SSSI — a nationally protected natural site — lies within the wider area. Around 26 properties are within a few minutes' walk. The application has been approved. However, a Heritage Statement — a document setting out how a development could affect nearby historic buildings — was not submitted, even though a listed building stands close by.
What you can do
This application has already been approved, so formal objection is no longer possible. If you have concerns about impacts on Houghton Mill or the River Test SSSI, you can contact the Local Planning Authority or your Mid Test ward councillor. The reference number is 26/00351/AGNS.
