Planning application

The Old College 37 College Street Petersfield Hampshire GU31 4AG

Awaiting decision South Downs National Park SDNP/26/02431/LIS

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The proposed works comprise the careful dismantling of the existing chimney stack and its reconstruction on the same footprint, using salvaged materials wherever practicable and matching existing materials, dimensions, detailing, mortar, and appearance. The rebuilt chimney will replicate the form and character of the existing structure.

As published by the council, reference SDNP/26/02431/LIS

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with South Downs National Park for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that South Downs National Park is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
