There were no announcements made at this meeting..

There were no declarations of interest made at the meeting.

To receive any deputations of which notice has been lodged.

The Committee received deputations from the following in respect of the applications indicated and the deputees were thanked accordingly:-

To consider a report by the Director of Planning and Environment on development control matters, including information regarding new planning appeals and decisions.

The Committee noted a report by the Director of Planning and Environment on development control applications and miscellaneous matters, including the current situation regarding planning appeals.  An Update Report was tabled at the meeting.

The Committee received the deputation referred to in minute 5 above.

The Committee was referred to the Update Report which provided the following information:- Since the preparation of the agenda, further discussions have taken place relating to the legal agreement; specifically levels of contributions that are to be provided and in turn, the level of affordable housing which is to be put forward. Officers have assessed the viability reports and in consultation with Housing Officers have viewed the proposed mix and types of affordable housing proposed for both the 23% and 27% offers that were made. Officers are of the view that that the amount of affordable housing which should be provided with this development is 27% and consequently a contribution of £500,000 is therefore offered.

Drafting of the Section 106 Legal Agreement is taking place, and a clause has been added which states that if after 48 months of signing the legal agreement the development is not completed, requesting that a revised viability report be submitted to the Council, to take into account any changes in market conditions and economic conditions which prevail at that time. If the Updated Economic Viability Assessment does not show an increase in the Development as reported profitability at that time there will not be an obligation to pay further contributions at that time. There is also a requirement that an updated viability report be submitted annually every twelve months until the completion of the development.

A motion was proposed and seconded that the application be refused and was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting 8 in favour of refusal; 0 against refusal).  (Note: Councillor Mrs Trott was not present at the start of the discussion on this matter and did not therefore take part in the voting).

RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED.

Reasons for the Decision - The proposed development is contrary to Policy DG4 of the Fareham Borough Local Plan Review; Policies CS5, CS15, CS17, CS20, CS21, of the Adopted Fareham Borough Core Strategy in that:

(i)The size, scale, close grouping and appearance of the three storey buildings fail to respond to the key characteristics of the surrounding area and would not represent a high quality of design. In addition Flat Block 5, located on the perimeter of the application site, will have an unsympathetic and harmful relationship in terms of scale, with the modest form of existing development adjacent in Brook Lane.

(ii)  Failure to provide a planning obligation to secure the following measures:

 the provision of a travel plan in order to provide sustainable transport for future residents of the site.

 the provision of the required amount of on-site open space and play facilities within the development, as well as their continued maintenance and provision in perpetuity.

 access from the application site to the adjoining areas of land excluded from this application site, but which are included within the allocated housing site as set out within the Adopted Local Plan to ensure that future development of these sites and the site as a whole is not prejudiced.

 provision of a footpath to link the application site to land to the north to an adoptable standard to ensure that sustainable access to the surrounding area is maintained.

In the absence of such obligations the development would not accord with the principles of sustainable transportation, nor would it provide for the open space needs of future residents, ensure that the development site comes forward on a comprehensive basis nor cater for affordable housing requirements arising from this development.

(iii)  Failure to provide a suitable mechanism in order to secure on-site affordable housing which would be necessitated by this development.

NOTE: In respect to item (ii) it is acknowledged that in the absence of any other objections to this development that such measures could be provided through an appropriate Section 106 Legal Agreement.

The Committee were informed that sufficient additional information has now been submitted to satisfy the Council's Ecologist that the development would not have an adverse impact on ecology.  As a result the ecology reason for refusal in the officers recommendation was removed.

Upon being proposed and seconded the officer recommendation to refuse the planning application was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting 8 in favour of refusal; 0 against). (Note: Councillor Cartwright had left the meeting when this application was considered).

RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED

Reasons for the Decision - The development is unacceptable taking into account the polices and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below, in particular Policies CS5, CS16, CS18, CS20 & CS21 of the Fareham Borough Core Strategy and Policies DG4 and C18 of the Fareham Borough Local Plan Review. The proposed access is of insufficient width and quality, there is insufficient off-street car-parking, no financial contributions in respect of highway infrastructure, open space provision and affordable housing. Furthermore, insufficient information has been provided in respect of how the development will seek to retain existing preserved trees adjacent to the application site. There are no other material considerations judged to have sufficient weight to outweigh this harmful impact. In accordance therefore with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 planning permission should be refused.

At the invitation of the Chairman Councillor Mrs Pankhurst addressed the Committee on this application.

Upon being proposed and seconded, the officer recommendation to refuse the application was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting 7 in favour of refusal; 2 against refusal).

RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED.

Reasons for the Decision - The development is unacceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below, in particular Policy CS17 of the adopted Fareham Borough Core Strategy. The proposed rear first floor extension would, by virtue of its height, width, bulk, design (particularly in respect of the height of the roof eaves in comparison the remainder of the dwelling) and appearance, represent an unsympathetic comparison the remainder of the dwelling) and appearance, represent an unsympathetic addition to the dwelling harmful to its appearance and the character of the surrounding area. Notwithstanding the acceptable design of the proposed front porch and pitched roof to the front dormer window, there are no material considerations judged to have sufficient weight to outweigh this harmful impact. In accordance therefore with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 planning permission should be refused.

Director of Planning and Environment (Ecologist) - The report addresses previously raised points.  Dormice are not reasonably likely to be present andimpacted by the proposals. The outbuildings have been found to be unsuitable for use by bats, but some reptile potential (for low numbers of animals) has been identified within the habitats to be impacted by the proposals. The report suggests various measures relating to clearance of the site including scrub habitat, and it is recommended that these, along with the proposed enhancement measures, are secured through condition of any consent.

Additional condition: Works shall be carried out in accordance with the ecological mitigation and enhancement measures set out within the recommendations and enhancements sections of the Updated Phase 1 Survey (Ecosupport, April 2013) unless otherwise approved in writing by the LPA.  Reason: in order to secure adequate ecological mitigation and enhancements.

Reasons for the Decision - The development is unacceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out above, in particular Policies CS14 and CS17 of the Fareham Borough Core Strategy and Saved Policies C14 and DG4 of the Fareham Borough Local Plan Review. The proposal represents inappropriate development which is outside of a defined development boundary in a highly sensitive coastal landscape. The proposed beach hut will be highly visually intrusive by reason of its size, scale and position. Furthermore, the application is accompanied by insufficient information in respect of the impact on badgers. There are no other material considerations judged to have sufficient weight to outweigh this harmful impact. In accordance therefore with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 planning permission should be refused.

The Committee received the deputation referred to in minute 5 above.

The Committee was referred to the Update Report which provided the following information:-An amended plan has been amended to show pedestrian access to the site to the satisfaction of the Council's Highways Engineer

Five further letters (six in total) have been received raising the following additional concerns; We are not aware that there has been consultation with local people as is suggested within the submission; · Vehicles will be parked on Foxbury Grove for convenience rather than using the car park; . The area is primarily residential; . Deliveries early and late in teh day wil cause problems to neighbours;. The driveway is almost opposite the drive of 1 Foxbury Grove but not neighbour notified; . Which store is applying for planning permission?

Object most strongly; . Yellow line will cause inconvenience to neighbours; Location of bin store would impact on amenity of 1 Foxbury Grove;  Acoustic fence along southern boundary would impact on amenity of 1 Foxbury Grove and would limit highway visibility; . There has not been enough publicity.

Director of Planning and Environment (Planning Policy) - The proposal accords with the relevant local plan policies and national guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 and the emerging Local Plan Part 2: Development Sites and Policies. There is no planning strategy objection.

Director of Planning and Environment (Urban Design) - Subject to a condition requiring the submission of materials and sections, the proposed building form and scale are broadly appropriate to the character of the locality. It is predominantly brick with a hipped tiled roof, which is typical of this area. It would have benefitted from additional height or a two storey construction but it is understood that there were value and operational constraints to implementation.

The elevational treatment therefore is the where the design can lift quality and create a visually interesting and expressive impact. The design is brick with some projecting piers and a coloured 'Trespa' cladding band under the eaves. It is important that there is a good depth of detailing so that it is not a flat facade, and quality materials are used. It is unfortunate that greater levels of glazing has not been provided to help create a lighter structure and visual interest to the blank elevations and bring better natural daylight to the interior, though the internal operational requirements and safety concerns of supermarkets is recognised. There is glazing to White Hart Lane and Foxbury Grove which should be sufficient to create natural surveillance and an active frontage.

It is pleasing to see the retention of the hedgerow and additional complimentary soft planting to Foxbury Grove which will help to visually soften the car parking

Additional Condition: Sections of Elevations to be provided; no deliveries outside of store opening hours

A motion was proposed and seconded that the application for planning permission be deferred. On being put to the vote the motion was CARRIED.

(Voting 8 in favour; 0 against). (Note: Councillor Cartwright had left the meeting when this application was considered).

RESOLVED that the application for planning permission be deferred.

Reasons for the Decision - To allow for receipt of any further representations as the neighbour notification period does not expire until 26 April 2013 and to extend the neighbour notification to a wider area. Officers to also obtain a delivery management plan including further information on the delivery vehicles, timing and frequency of deliveries. Further clarification to be sought on the intended use of the shop to be vacated and whether it would be viable to introduce residential accommodation above the proposed retail unit.
