1 Application - 23/02290/FUL: Change of use of agricultural land to dog walking facility with creation of access and erection of a perimeter fence. Site: Land At Kennel Farm Garlic Lane Dummer Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 15 of 32 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.
The proposal included dog waste bins, fencing, lockable gates, parking and a limitation of a maximum of 6 dogs at any one time in the dog paddock. Most Members were satisfied that those measures would overcome most objections received against the application.
Concern was expressed on the impact to the existing biodiversity and the ability for wildlife to transit across the site especially within the woodland area.
RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions and informatives listed below.
Conditions
1 The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans:
OS Location Plan - dated 09/09/2023
Location Plan - Drawing number 2323_01_P_005
Site Plan - Drawing number 2323_01_P_100.
REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2 The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this planning permission.
REASON: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and to prevent an accumulation of unimplemented planning permissions.

REASON: To protect the amenities of the occupiers of nearby properties in accordance with Policies EM10, EP4 and EM12 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
4 Notwithstanding details stated in the application form, the use hereby approved shall not commence until full details of any refuse bins and collection facilities have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved details shall be constructed and fully implemented prior to the first use of the site and shall thereafter be retained and operated for that specific purpose in accordance with the approved details.
REASON: In the absence of details being submitted to accompany the planning application, details are required in accordance with Policies EM1, EM10, EM12, EP4 and CN9 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
5 Prior to first use of the site an Ecological Management Plan showing how both the Priority Habitat Lowland Meadow and the adjacent Woodland are to be managed for ecological retention and enhancement shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The site should then be managed in accordance with the approved Ecological Management Plan in perpetuity.
REASON: Details are required in order to prevent adverse impacts on key habitats in line with requirements contained within Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
6 The dog paddock shall only be used by a maximum of 6 dogs at any one time.

Informative(s):-
1. 1.1 The applicant's attention is drawn to the fact that the above conditions (if any), must be complied with in full, failure to do so may result in enforcement action being instigated.
1.2 This permission may contain pre-commencement conditions which require specific matters to be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before a specified stage in the development occurs. This means that a lawful commencement of the approved development CANNOT be made until the particular requirements of the pre-commencement conditions have been met.
1.3 The applicant's attention is drawn to the fact that the Local Planning Authority has a period of up to eight weeks to determine details submitted in respect of a condition or limitation attached to a grant of planning permission. It is likely that in most cases the determination period will be shorter than eight weeks, however, the applicant is advised to schedule this time period into any programme of works. A fee will be required for requests for discharge of any consent, agreement, or approval required by a planning condition. A fee is payable for each submission made regardless of the number of conditions for which approval is sought. Details of the required fee can be found on our website - https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/plan-app-process?chapter=81324#chapter81324 . Requests must be made using the standard application form (available online) or set out in writing clearly identifying the relevant planning application and condition(s) which they are seeking approval for.
2. In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following positive and creative manner:-
seeking further information following receipt of the application;
seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application;
considering the imposition of conditions.
In this instance:
the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit;
the application was acceptable as amended and no further assistance was required.
In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
3. The Borough Council declared a Climate Emergency during 2019 formally making this declaration at the meeting of Cabinet in September 2019. This recognises the need to take urgent action to reduce both the emissions of the Council's own activities as a service provider but also those of the wider borough. In this respect, the Council is working with consultants at present to identify appropriate actions to achieve the targets that have been set. Beyond the requirements of any conditions that may be applicable to this planning permission and the current planning policy framework, the applicant is encouraged to explore all opportunities for implementing the development in a way that minimises impact on climate change. Where this in itself might require separate permission applicants can contact the council for advice through the following link: https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/plan-app-process. For information more generally on the Climate Emergency please visit: https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/climateemergency.
4. The applicant is advised that any gate to the site above 1m in height as measured above ground level shall require planning permission.
2 Application - 23/02131/FUL: Erection of 2no detached dwellings and replacement stables with associated access and landscaping. Site: College Farm Silchester Road Little London Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 33 of 76 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 and the majority of Members supported the Officers recommendation.
Some Members advised that they had viewed the site extensively on the viewing and they believed that the stables were typical of a farmyard building and suited the business requirements.
The main concern was the design of the two dwellings which they considered to be out of keeping with the character of the area.
RESOLVED that: the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
Reasons for Refusal
1 The introduction of large two-storey domestic dwellings, due to their layout, appearance, collective scale and extent of coverage, would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal would fail to positively contribute to local distinctiveness and the sense of place. The development would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area contrary to Policies SS6 a) iii) and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, Sections 12 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), and Section 4 of the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
2 The proposed stable building and associated infrastructure, by virtue of its scale, together with the amount of hard surfacing, would represent an incongruous form of development that does not correspond with the rural character of the area. The proposal would cumulatively add to the built form within the rural landscape resulting in a formalisation and intensification of the site. As such, the development would not be sympathetic nor enhance the character or visual amenities of the area and cannot be successfully integrated within the landscape and surrounding area. This element of the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and quality of the area. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies EM1, EM10 and Policy EP4 criterion f) of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, Sections 12 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), and the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
3 The proposed development would erode the setting of The Barn, listed at Grade II, as a result of its appearance and design, thereby resulting in harm to its historical significance of the building through corruption and legibility of the site's former use. Such harm would be within the less than substantial category, as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023) and would not be outweighed by any public benefits. The proposed development would therefore be in conflict with Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), Policy EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and Sections 3 and 7 of the Heritage Supplementary Planning Document (2019).
Informative(s):-
1. In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following positive and creative manner:-
seeking further information following receipt of the application.
In this instance:
the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit;
Amended drawings were secured.
In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application
2. Should the application be granted at appeal a Liability Notice setting out further details and including the amount of CIL payable will be sent out separately with any subsequent Technical Details Consent. You are advised to read the Liability Notice and ensure that a Commencement Notice is submitted to the Council prior to the commencement of development. Failure to submit the Commencement Notice prior to the commencement of development will result in the loss of any exemptions claimed; the loss of any right to pay by instalments; and additional costs to you in the form of surcharges. Further details can be viewed at https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/community-infrastructure-levy.
3 Application - 24/00875/RES: Reserved matters application for the erection of 1 no. dwelling, including appearance, layout and scale (pursuant to outline planning application 21/02329/OUT). Site: Ball Hill Bakery Burlyns Lane Ball Hill Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 77 of 105 of the agenda with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting.

The Committee considered the report set out on pages 106 of 130 of the agenda and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application and considered the plot was large enough to accommodate the 3 bay detached garage and were satisfied that Condition 4 limited the use of the garage for domestic parking of vehicles and cycles and restricted any permitted development.

4 The first floor of the garage hereby permitted shall be occupied solely for purposes incidental to the occupation and enjoyment of Holly House and shall not be sold off, sub-let or used as a separate unit of accommodation and shall not be used for any business, commercial or industrial purposes whatsoever. The ground floor of the garage hereby approved shall not be converted or used for any residential purpose other than as a domestic garage for the parking of vehicles and cycles and shall not be used in connection with any trade, business, profession or commercial enterprise.

The works approved shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the commencement of use of the building. In addition, a maintenance programme detailing all operations to be carried out in order to allow successful establishment of planting, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before development commences. Any trees or plants which, within a period of 5 years from the date of planting, die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species, to be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
REASON: To improve the appearance of the site in the interests of visual amenity in accordance with Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, Policies HO1, NE1 and NE5 of the East Woodhay Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2029 and the Basingstoke and Deane Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018).
6 Full details of any external lighting proposed to be used on the building hereby approved shall be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of use of the building. The development shall be carried out and thereafter maintained in accordance with the approved details.

2 Application - 23/02131/FUL: Erection of 2no detached dwellings and replacement stables with associated access and landscaping. Site: College Farm Silchester Road Little London Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages 33 of 76 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 and the majority of Members supported the Officers recommendation.
Some Members advised that they had viewed the site extensively on the viewing and they believed that the stables were typical of a farmyard building and suited the business requirements.
The main concern was the design of the two dwellings which they considered to be out of keeping with the character of the area.
RESOLVED that: the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
Reasons for Refusal
1 The introduction of large two-storey domestic dwellings, due to their layout, appearance, collective scale and extent of coverage, would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area. The proposal would fail to positively contribute to local distinctiveness and the sense of place. The development would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area contrary to Policies SS6 a) iii) and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, Sections 12 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), and Section 4 of the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
2 The proposed stable building and associated infrastructure, by virtue of its scale, together with the amount of hard surfacing, would represent an incongruous form of development that does not correspond with the rural character of the area. The proposal would cumulatively add to the built form within the rural landscape resulting in a formalisation and intensification of the site. As such, the development would not be sympathetic nor enhance the character or visual amenities of the area and cannot be successfully integrated within the landscape and surrounding area. This element of the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and quality of the area. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies EM1, EM10 and Policy EP4 criterion f) of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, Sections 12 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), and the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
3 The proposed development would erode the setting of The Barn, listed at Grade II, as a result of its appearance and design, thereby resulting in harm to its historical significance of the building through corruption and legibility of the site's former use. Such harm would be within the less than substantial category, as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023) and would not be outweighed by any public benefits. The proposed development would therefore be in conflict with Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), Policy EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and Sections 3 and 7 of the Heritage Supplementary Planning Document (2019).
Informative(s):-
1. In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following positive and creative manner:-
seeking further information following receipt of the application.
In this instance:
the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit;
Amended drawings were secured.
In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application
2. Should the application be granted at appeal a Liability Notice setting out further details and including the amount of CIL payable will be sent out separately with any subsequent Technical Details Consent. You are advised to read the Liability Notice and ensure that a Commencement Notice is submitted to the Council prior to the commencement of development. Failure to submit the Commencement Notice prior to the commencement of development will result in the loss of any exemptions claimed; the loss of any right to pay by instalments; and additional costs to you in the form of surcharges.
