Planning applications and Miscellaneous Matters including an update on Planning Appeals pdf icon PDF 73 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 maters, including information regarding new appeals and decisions.

6(1)

P/21/1157/FP - 94 HIGHLANDS ROAD FAREHAM PO156JE pdf icon PDF 1 MB

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After further consideration of the committee report Paragraph 8.29 has been superseded with the following:

 

The applicant has purchased 6.36kgTN/yr of nitrate mitigation ‘credits’ from Whitewool Farm. This has been secured through the operation of a legal agreement between Whitewool Farm, South Downs National Park Authority and Fareham Borough Council dated 3rd November 2021. The creation of a managed wetland at Whitewool Farm is removing nitrates from the River Meon and therefore providing a corresponding reduction in nitrogen entering the Solent marine environment. The purchase of credits has the effect of allocating a proportion of this reduction in nitrates to this development, meaning that the scheme can demonstrate nutrient neutrality.

 

Two additional conditions have also been included which is as follows:

 

15) No development shall take place until the Council has received evidence that the required nitrate mitigation capacity has been allocated to the development pursuant to the allocation agreement dated 5th May 2022 between (1) William Northcroft Butler and James Nicholas Butler (2) HN Butler Farms Limited and (3) Fitim Ferati.

REASON: To demonstrate that suitable mitigation has been secured in relation to the effect that nitrates from the development has on European protected sites.

 

16) The second floor rooflights proposed to be inserted into the eastern elevation of the approved development shall be:

a) Of a non-opening design and construction to a height of 1.7 metres above internal finished floor level;

and shall thereafter be retained in that condition at all times.

REASON: To prevent overlooking and to protect the privacy of the occupiers of the adjacent property.

 

Upon being proposed and seconded the officer recommendation to: -

 

(i)            Delegate authority to the Head of Development Management to:

 

(a)  Make any necessary modification, deletion or addition to the proposed conditions; and

 

(b)  Make any necessary changes arising out of the detailed negotiations with the applicant which may necessitate the variation, addition, or deletion of the conditions and heads of terms as drafted to ensure consistency between the two sets of provisions;

 

(ii)          Grant planning permission, subject to

 

(a)  The conditions in the report; and

 

(b)  The additional conditions in the Update Report.

 

(iii)         The additional conditions in the Update Report

Was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 8 in favour; 1 against)

(i)            AUTHORITY BE DELEGATED to the Head of Development to:

P/22/0709/FP - ADMIRAL HOUSE & NICHOLSON GATE HIGH STREET PO16 7BQ pdf icon PDF 1 MB

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: -

 

Correction of typographic errors: Paragraph 8.8 should state ‘mainstream’ rather than mainsteam. Paragraph 8.12 should state, ‘due to the age of the building and is of some architectural merit’.

 

Correction of error regarding Habitat Regs in the Informative, which should read:

 

Bats and their roosts receive strict legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended). All work must stop immediately if bats, or evidence of bat presence (e.g. droppings, bat carcasses or insect remains), are encountered at any point during this development. Should this occur, further advice should be sought from Natural England and/or a professional licenced ecologist.

 

The Committee requested that an informative be added to the decision notice requesting that where possible materials from Admiral House be salvaged and be made available for use within the local area.

 

Upon being proposed and seconded the officer recommendation to: -

 

(i)            DELEGATE authority to the Head of Development Management to:

 

(a)  Make any necessary modification, deletion or addition to the proposed conditions; and

 

(b)  Make any necessary changes arising out of detailed negotiations with the applicant which may necessitate the variation, addition or deletion of the conditions as drafted to ensure consistency between the two sets of provisions;

 

(ii)          GRANT planning permission subject to the conditions in the report; and

 

(iii)         ADD an informative to the decision notice requesting that the applicant use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that all good roof tiles and bricks from the original part of Admiral House, are sympathetically salvaged and made available for re-use in building projects elsewhere.

Was voted on and CARRIED.

(Voting: 9 in favour; 0 against)
