To assist with the determination of the application, Members requested further information be provided on the marketing which has taken place in connection with promoting and selling the business, and the current financial standing of the business.

RESOLVED that the application be DEFERED.

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

The Committee’s attention was drawn to the Update Report, which contained the following information:- Director of Planning & Regulation (Ecology) – No objection subject to conditions.

Upon being proposed and seconded, the Officer Recommendation to refuse the application was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 9 in favour, 0 against).

RESOLVED that PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED.

Reasons for Refusal:

The proposed development is contrary to Polices CS5 and CS17 of the adopted Fareham Borough Core Strategy and Policies DSP5 and DSP15 of the adopted Fareham Borough Local Plan Part 2: Development Sites & Policies and is unacceptable in that:

i) the proposal would give rise to a cramped and unsympathetic form of development harmful to the character of the area which would fail to respond positively to and be respectful of the key characteristics of the area including its heritage assets, landscape, scale, form and spaciousness;

ii) by virtue of the proposed sub-division of the plot, the erosion of space between existing dwellings, the loss of established mature garden land and the removal of a section of hedge along the boundary with The Green the proposal would fail to preserve of enhance the character and appearance of the Sarisbury Green Conservation Area;

iii) the proposal fails to provide satisfactory visibility in perpetuity in a westward direction at the junction of the driveway with The Green and would as a result be harmful to the safety of highway users. Whilst it was considered that a satisfactory visibility splay could be achieved this would involve significant work to the frontage hedgerow to the detriment of the visual appearance and character of the area;

iv) in the absence of a financial contribution or a legal agreement to secure such, the proposal would fail to provide satisfactory mitigation of the ‘in combination’ effects that the proposed net increase in residential units on the site would cause through increased recreational disturbance on the Solent Coastal Special Protection Areas.

Councillor Mrs Hockley had left the meeting prior to this item being heard, and therefore took no part in the vote.

Upon being proposed and seconded, the Officer Recommendation to grant Planning Permission, subject to the conditions in the report, was voted on and CARRIED:

The applicant has asked if the following statement could be reported for Members information:

This statement has been prepared on behalf of Bloor Homes to consider the reserved matters proposals for development of 120 dwellings at Fareham College in the context of the emerging Fareham Borough Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (Fareham Borough Council, 2015). Outline planning permission was granted for 3.25 hectares of new housing (up to 120 new dwellings) with related roads, parking areas, footpaths, landscaping and open space to be used for recreation, amenity and educational purposes on 11 April 2014 (Reference: P/13/1055/FP).

The reserved matters application seeks approval of the details of the layout, scale and external appearance of buildings, and the landscaping of the site. The approved plans have been provided a basis for the reserved matters proposals. The design has also been informed by ongoing discussions with Fareham Borough Council. The reserved matters scheme is responsive to the site constraints and opportunities, which have been identified through survey and analysis. The reserved matters proposals are consistent with the draft Fareham Borough Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document, as described below.

Flats

- The proposed flatted development is directly to the south of the institutional buildings associated with Fareham College, providing a transition between the large scale College buildings and the dwellings to the south;

- All flats have access to communal garden space, provided in accordance with Fareham Borough Council’s draft standard of 25 sq m per flat. Ground floor flats have doors from living rooms opening directly onto the garden space;

- The internal dimensions of the flats are in accordance with the relevant standards.

New Streets

- The proposals provide a clear hierarchy of routes, with the primary route linking Bishopsfield Road in the west to the area of public open space to the east. Secondary routes form residential streets, whilst minor routes provide access to the flats and the lower density development overlooking the public open space;

- The dwellings are connected via footpath links to the facilities and services in Fareham town centre. A gate is provided to link the development to Wallisdean school to the south;

 - Where corner dwellings are included, windows are provided which address both streets;

- On plot parking is situated to the front and side of dwellings, providing a degree of surveillance from the windows of habitable rooms. On street parking spaces are unallocated, located away from the frontage of dwellings and separated by trees. A landscaped parking square is provided to the south of the flats;

- The retained Willow tree provides a focal point for the landscaped parking square. The reserved matters proposals include street tree planting. Appropriate tree species gave been specified and are provided with sufficient space to mature.

Public Spaces

- The development connects to the existing public open space to the east. The public open space is overlooked by the new dwellings. The facilities within the public open space are improved through the inclusion of a LEAP.

Compliance with the principles of Secure by Design

- Throughout the layout dwellings are sited to face onto public spaces. A high level of natural surveillance is provided for roads, footpaths, parking areas and open space;

- Houses have private rear gardens that will be enclosed by 1.8 metre screen fencing or walls;

- Pathways serving rear gardens within rows of terraced houses will be protected by lockable gates;

- Street lighting will be provided to public roads and paths;

- The use of rear parking courts has been avoided.

The deputee speaking against the proposal has asked that his comments are reported in full, including the reference to the Woodland Trust practical guidance ‘Residential Developments and Trees’ dates July 2015.

As the owner of 2 Berwyn Walk which is on the border of the proposed planning.

I write to tell you of my concerns of the hedge which boarders my house 2 Berwyn Walk.

I do not want this hedge cut down.

It brings many benefits to the area.

It is a mature Ever Green Wall. It harbours many birds insects and gives the area green pleasant feel with a good shelter from North Easterly wind in the winter.

I wish to further review this in the light of the Party Wall Act 1996. Some of the roots of the Hedge and part of the Hedge is on my property.

I have also been using part of the hedge floor adjacent in the College boundary adjacent to my boundary to store wood for over 12 years.

I may be in a position to adversely claim this land to protect this hedge.

In examining the Party Wall Act and Adverse possession rules, I wish to have the chance to state my case officially at the appropriate moment.

On another matter relating to the Oak tree (T1 Common Oak) highlighted to be cut down – I strongly protest of any Oak tree being cut down. Many hundreds of species of creatures live on Oaks. In particularly, in Hampshire it is our heritage, having long history of ship building in the Royal Navy. Oak trees especially protected one are not to be cut down.

A motion was proposed and seconded to add an additional condition securing the hedgerow on the western boundary of the site with Berywn Walk and Bulbarrow Walk (side of Plot 111 and rear of plots 112 – 118) to be retained at a height not less than 2 metres at all times, was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 5 in favour; 3 against; 1 abstention)

Upon being proposed and seconded, the Officer Recommendation to approve the reserved matters, subject to the additional condition agreed above and the conditions in the report, was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 6 in favour; 3 against)

RESOLVED that, subject to an additional condition securing the hedgerow on the western boundary of the site with Berywn Walk and Bulbarrow Walk (side of Plot 111 and rear of plots 112 – 118) to be retained at a height not less than 2 metres at all times and the conditions in the report, APPROVE the RESERVED MATTERS.
