Report
Index Applications Update Front sheet UPDATE PAPER v2 The following Public Participation took place:
1. Application -21/03656/FUL: Erection of 15 no. dwellings and associated works. Site: Land North of The Chalet Newbury Road Headley Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 61 to 94 of the agenda with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application at length.
The Ashford Hill with Headley Neighbourhood Plan was referred to where the preference was for developments on brownfield land and small infill developments. It was also acknowledged that the site was an undeveloped field situated to the north of another development site, 19/00853/FUL, which currently benefited from planning permission for the development of No.9 residential dwellings. Application number (21/00551/PIP) on part of the current site for up to nine dwellings was refused by Development Control Committee and was subject to an appeal which was dismissed by the Inspector on landscape and ecological grounds.
Some Members were content with proposal as they believed that the site for 9 dwellings with planning permission had already intruded into the countryside.
The provision of affordable housing and the housing mix for 2 and 3 bedroom dwellings was welcomed.
Concern was expressed over road safety issues due to the extra traffic generated from the development onto a single track road with a bend and limited visibility. It was also suggested that a larger vehicle could get stranded on the lane and intrude onto the busy A339.
Members questioned the status of the land as they considered there was conflicting information as to whether it was previously developed land or greenfield.
Concern was raised that there was no information to the proximity of the trees and the impact on biodiversity.
RESOLVED that: the application be DEFERRED for further information including in relation to status of the land and evidence of previous uses, biodiversity, trees and highways information.
2. Application - 22/01021/RES: Reserved matters application for the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale (pursuant to outline permission 20/00004/OUT) for the erection of 110 dwellings. Site: Land to East Of Station Road Oakley Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 95 to 161 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application and acknowledged that the Section 106 Agreement had been agreed at the appeal but requested for an informative be included to the applicant to consider exploring with Hampshire County Council, Ward Councillors and the Parish Council an alternative provision for safer roads in the vicinity of the development.
Requested that an informative be included for the applicant to consider a Section 106 variation to provide allotments.
Concerned that the proposed application had individual condensing gas boilers to supply the Homeowners with efficient, cost effective space heating and hot water rather than a renewable energy source.
It was highlighted that the application met the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan policy requirements.
RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons.
Reasons for Approval
1 In the absence of an up-to-date development plan in respect of housing policies, the proposed development would deliver housing which would contribute towards an overall shortfall of supply as well as providing economic, social and environmental benefits. In the planning balance, and applying a presumption in favour of development, it is not considered that the impact of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) as a material planning consideration are taken as a whole.
2 The proposed development would provide policy compliant affordable housing to meet an identified need. The proposal would comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policy CN1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Council's Housing Supplementary Planning Document (2019) and Policy 1 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2029).
3 The proposed development would provide an appropriate mix of housing and as such the proposal would comply with Policy CN3 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
4 The proposed development is considered to be of appropriate design and appearance. It would result in acceptable impact on the character and appearance of the area, including its landscape and historic setting. As such, the proposal complies with the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies EM1, EM10 and EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (July 2018) and Policy 13 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2029).
5 The proposed development would be accommodated within the site in a manner that would not result in an undue loss of privacy or cause undue overlooking, overshadowing, overbearing or noise and disturbance impacts to neighbouring properties. The development therefore complies with the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) and Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
6 The development would not cause an adverse impact on highway safety or operation of the local highway network, adequate levels of car and cycle parking provision to serve the development have been provided together with necessary infrastructure for refuse collection and as such the proposal complies with Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (2018) and the aims and objectives set out in Section 11 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2029).
7 Subject to appropriate conditions, the proposed development would not cause any adverse impact on biodiversity and as such the proposal is considered to be in accordance with Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018) and Policy 9 and 10 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2029). The delivery and maintenance measures have already been secured with a legal agreement associated with the outline planning permission. As such, the proposed development would remain nutrient neutral and would deliver the expected level of Biodiversity Net Gain.
8 The proposed development would safeguard trees of amenity value on the application site and would therefore comply with Policy EM1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (2018) and Policy 9 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2029) in this respect.
9 Appropriate open spaces provision has been provided on site in line with policy expectations and as conditioned at outline stage. Further delivery and maintenance measures have already been secured with a legal agreement associated with the outline planning permission.
10 Appropriate drainage strategy has been provided for the development which has been approved by the Lead Local Flood Authority and which would ensure that there would be no risk to property or the environment. The proposal accords with the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) and Policies CN6 and EM7 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 .

The Committee considered the report set out on pages 162 to 197 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting
The Committee discussed the proposed application and the main concern was the impact on the safety of walkers, horses and dog walkers on the access track to the dwellings.
It was suggested that the proposal might change the nature of the area but would not change the character of the street scene dramatically.
RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons.
Reasons for Approval
1 In the absence of an up-to-date development plan, the proposed development would deliver housing which would contribute towards mitigating against the overall shortfall of supply as well as providing economic, social and environmental benefits. In the planning balance, and applying a presumption in favour of sustainable development, it is not considered that the impact of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) as a material planning consideration are taken as a whole. The proposal is not isolated and considered to represent a sustainable form of development. The proposal is therefore in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) and Policy SD1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
2 The development would have a likely significant effect in combination with other developments and river catchments that flow into The Solent, leading to a cumulative increase in eutrophication and a deterioration in water quality, which in turn impacts upon the conservation interests of the designated European Sites. The likely significant effect is to be mitigated to achieve a nitrate neutral development ensuring that there would be no adverse effect on the integrity of the designated sites. As such the proposal would accord with The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) and Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
3 The proposed development would be of an acceptable design and would not adversely impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding development and as such complies with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Policies EM10 and EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, Policy 13 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029 and guidance contained within the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Documents (July 2018).
4 The development would not result in an undue loss of privacy or cause undue overlooking, overshadowing, overbearing or noise and disturbance impacts to neighbouring properties and as such complies with Policies EM10 and EM12 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
5 The development would not cause an adverse impact on highway safety, subject to adequate parking being provided to serve the development. As such the proposal would comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
6 The proposed development would not cause any adverse impacts on biodiversity and as such the proposal is considered to be in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018).
7 The proposed development would not cause any adverse impacts to trees and as such the proposal is considered to be in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Policy EM1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018).

4. Application – 21/03852/FUL: Erection of 4 no. bedroom bungalow and associated works following demolition of redundant buildinG. Site: Buildings at Bishops Hill, Ecchinswell Road Kingsclere RG20 4QQ
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 198 to 237 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application and favoured the replacement dwelling as it was a bungalow and would have the same visual impact as the current rundown buildings.
RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons.
Reasons for Approval
1 In the absence of an up-to-date development plan, in respect of housing policies as a result of a lack of five year supply of housing, the proposed development would deliver housing which would contribute towards mitigating against the overall shortfall of supply as well as providing economic, social and environmental benefits. The proposal dwellings would not be situated in an isolated location within the countryside and the proposal is considered to represent a sustainable form of development. In the planning balance, and applying a presumption in favour of sustainable development, it is not considered that the impact of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) as a material planning consideration are taken as a whole. The proposal is therefore in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) and Policy SD1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
2 The proposed dwelling, given its design and siting, would relate to surrounding development and would not result in significant impacts on the local landscape character, scenic quality of the area or the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such the proposal complies with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (July 2018) and K6 of the Kingsclere Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029.
3 The proposed development would be of an appropriate design and relate to surrounding development in a sympathetic manner and as such would comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021) and Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and K4 of the Kingsclere Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029.
4 The proposed development would not result in an undue loss of privacy or cause undue overlooking, overshadowing, overbearing or noise and disturbance impacts to neighbouring properties and as such complies with Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
5 The development would not cause an adverse impact on highway safety, and adequate parking would be provided to serve the development and as such the proposal complies with Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (2018) and Policy K13 of the Kingsclere Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029.
6 The proposed development would not cause any adverse impacts on biodiversity and as such the proposal is considered to be in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021). Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018) and K4 of the Kingsclere Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029.

| 6 | Request to remove Section 106 agreement relating to occupancy restriction attached to BDB/29105 - Whitehall House Ashford Hill Road Ashford Hill Thatcham Hampshire RG19 8AZ |
Request to remove Section 106 agreement Whitehall House
The Principal Planning Officer introduced the reportfor Members to consider the removal of a S106 legal agreement attached to the planning permission granted under reference BDB/29105 at Whitehall House, Ashford Hill Road, Ashford Hill, RG19 8AZ. Planning permission was granted on the 11th July 1990 for the ‘Erection of staff accommodation’.
The planning permission was subject to a S106 agreement which restricted the occupation of building to staff employed in relation to Whitehall House only. An application has subsequently been received to remove the S106 agreement on the basis that the legal agreement no longer serves a useful purpose.
Of particular relevance to this request is the recent approval of a lawful development certificate for the continued use of the flat as an independent dwelling on 11 July 2022 under application reference 22/00238/LDEU.
RESOLVED that: Members of the Development Control Committee approve the following resolution:
To remove the S106 legal agreement in its entirety which restricts the occupancy of the property to staff employed in relation to Whitehall House only.
