Proposal

Installation of flexible steel liners (904 grade) and two stoves at Flat 2, Brambridge House by Billing Chimneys. Drawing Room: Installation of one Clearview 750 stove. The non-original 1970s hearth and mantle surround will be removed and replaced with a traditional, simple design once the recess is exposed. Combustion air will be supplied via a direct air kit duct exiting externally (location indicated on attached annotated photograph). - Basement Bedroom: Installation of one Clearview Vision 500 inset (5KW) stove utilizing the existing hearth and brick surround. Flue & Chimney Structural Repairs: The missing internal brick withs between two of the three flues will be rebuilt to restore structural integrity and safety. The two active flues will be fitted with 300mm tall buff-coloured terracotta chimney pots and buff-coloured stainless steel euro cowls. The third, unused flue will be fitted with a buff vent cap. Associated External Works via Scaffolding: Access scaffolding will be erected on the west side of the North Wing. Utilizing this temporary access, localized repair and lime patch-rendering will be undertaken on reachable sections of the back of the chimney stack. Additionally, organic growth will be carefully removed from reachable upper sections and the balustrade of the west wall of the North Wing using low-pressure steam. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 12

Grade II* listed: Brambridge House
List entry 1350494 · 16 m away
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
South Downs National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
Special area of conservation 29 m away: River Itchen
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Agricultural land, grade 3a
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s), which most planning maps still show, had this area as grade 4. The predicted grade is Defra's current estimate; only a site survey settles it.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
SSSI 30 m away: Alresford Pond SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
National infrastructure project 514 m away: Hampshire Water Transfer and Water Recycling Project
The site is 514 m from the project boundary. Dam or reservoir, accepted for examination.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Habitat network: Wood pasture and parkland
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Heritage at risk 14 m away: Brambridge House, Kiln Lane; Radon affected area, class 3; Nature improvement area: South Downs Way Ahead; Priority habitat 30 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
