Hi @elijustrying,
Quick update on this one.
You were absolutely right about the time factor. I stepped back and looked at it from a reviewer’s perspective. If something takes too long to verify or requires digging through links and websites, most people simply won’t do it and will default to skipping or worse, rejection, sometimes with incorrect reasons.
I resubmitted, but this time I changed approach completely. Instead of trying to get the whole terrace accepted, I focused on a single, clearly identifiable architectural feature (the ornate gable). I kept the description concise and used the supplemental photos to directly support what was visible, prove the location is not SFPRP, and point to the correct Historic England submission, rather than expecting reviewers to research it themselves.
That nomination has now been accepted, and noticeably much faster than some of my other submissions that tend to sit in voting for days.
So the issue wasn’t necessarily the subject itself, but how much effort it required from the reviewer to understand and verify it.
I appreciate you pointing that out. It has definitely changed how I will approach both submissions and reviews going forward.
