Summary
No description of the proposed works has been provided with this application. Without knowing what is being proposed at Mayfield House, it is not possible to explain what may physically change on the site. The site sits within the Houghton and Bossington Conservation Area. Four Grade II listed buildings stand within 100 metres — Lavender Cottage is right next door, with Thrush Cottage, Rowans and The Retreat all about a minute's walk away. The River Test SSSI, one of England's most important chalk stream habitats, lies within 500 metres. Two documents normally required for works in a location like this — a Heritage Impact Assessment and a Heritage Statement — are missing. The council may need to request these before the application can be properly considered.
What you can do
You can comment on this application using reference 26/00416/DDCA on Test Valley Borough Council's planning portal. The council can consider impacts on the conservation area character, the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the River Test SSSI. Because no description of the proposed works has been provided, you may also wish to ask the council to clarify what works are proposed before the consultation period closes.
