26/01407/PREAPP - Pre-Application Decided

Proposal

I am considering purchasing The Deans, Dippenhall Street, Crondall GU10 5NY. This is a Grade II listed building within the Crondall conservation area. The property is in desperate need of renovation internally - i.e. no impact on the outside appearance. It has been empty for almost a year. My proposal is to convert the current ground floor reception room into a modern kitchen. A convert the current kitchen into a utility room and downstair lavatory. Before proceeding with the purchase of this property i want to ensure that these proposed amendments are aligned with current conservation regulations. In that respect the current ground floor reception room has wood panelling. I suspect this covering is simply painted MDF panels and not of any historic value but i need to check. I also need to ensure that i am not in breach of any rules by converting a room into a kitchen and would really appreciate expert advice. Data via plota.co.uk

Crondall conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Crondall. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
National infrastructure project 635 m away: Southampton to London Pipeline Project
The site is 635 m from the project boundary. Pipeline, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
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: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Crondall built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
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 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.
