Chairman's Announcements

Minutes:

The Chairman made the following announcement at this meeting:

 

Members will recall that on 28th May last year, the High Court dismissed a judicial review claim brought by Brook Avenue Residents Against Development (BARAD). This judicial review sought to challenge the grant of an outline planning permission for residential development at Egmont Nurseries in Brook Avenue, Warsash. The High Court Judge also refused BARAD permission to appeal his decision.

 

BARAD subsequently lodged an application with the Court of Appeal, seeking permission to appeal against the Judge’s decision. On the 21st November the Court of Appeal granted permission for BARAD to appeal on four of their requested five grounds.

 

The Council has been advised by the Courts, that the Court of Appeal hearing will start on 5th April, and it is estimated that the hearing will last for 1 ½ days.

Planning applications and Miscellaneous Matters including an update on Planning Appeals pdf icon PDF 145 KB

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

Minutes:

The Committee noted a report by the Director of Planning and Regeneration on the development control matters, including information regarding new appeals and decisions.

6(1)

P/20/1100/FP - THE NURSERY, LAND TO THE REAR OF 166 BOTLEY ROAD, SO31 1BL pdf icon PDF 962 KB

Minutes:

The Committee received the deputations referred to in Minute 5 above.

 

The Committee’s attention was drawn to the Update Report which contained the following information: -

 

After further consideration of the committee report the below paragraphs have been superseded with the following:

 

Policy DSP40 (ii)

 

8.38    This criterion seeks to ensure the proposal is sustainably located, well related to the existing urban settlement boundary and can be well integrated with the neighbouring settlement. The existing urban settlement boundary is located 21 metres to the east of the application site with an area of woodland in between. It is therefore considered that the proposal is reasonably well related to the neighbouring settlement but would be difficult to be integrated due to the woodland. The site is sustainably located however, within walking distance to local services and facilities in Park Gate. The building is not isolated and would be related to the neighbouring dwellings and therefore the settlement of Burridge. Due to the acknowledged difficulties of integration with the wider settlement of Whiteley (designated urban area), the proposal is considered to not fully comply with part (ii) of DSP40.

 

            The Planning Balance

 

8.73    There is a conflict with development plan Policy CS14 which ordinarily would result in this proposal being considered unacceptable in principle. Ordinarily CS14 would be the principal policy such that a scheme in the countryside would be considered contrary to the development plan. However, in light of the Council’s lack of 5YHLS, development plan policy DSP40 is engaged, and Officers have considered the scheme against the criterion therein. The scheme is considered to satisfy four of the five criteria with acknowledged conflict with DSP40 (ii) in pat as the dwelling would not be capable of being integrated with the existing urban settlement of Whiteley. However, having regard to the previously developed nature of the site and the previous established residential use through the lapsed prior approval and given that there have been no changes to legislation or on-site conditions, Officers consider that a further prior approval is likely to be approved. Therefore, the level of harm arising as a result of the development would not be significant and Officers form the view that more weight should be given to Policy DSP40 than CS14 and that when considered against the balance of the development plan, the scheme is considered to accord with the development plan as a whole.

 

 

Upon being proposed and seconded the officer recommendation to grant

planning permission, subject to the conditions in the report and an additional

condition requiring the installation of electric vehicle charging ports, was voted

on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 8 in favour; 1 against)

 

RESOLVED that, subject to the conditions in the report and an additional

condition requiring the installation of electric vehicle charging ports, PLANNING

PERMISSION be granted.
