Item 1 - 23/02868/RES

1 Application - 23/02868/RES: Reserved matters application submitted pursuant to outline planning APP/H1705/W/22/3302752 for 140 dwellings, Class E Community building, public open space, landscaping, drainage, parking, and associated infrastructure works. Site: Land At Stocks Farm The Street Bramley Hampshire

The Committee considered the report set out on pages 39 of 107 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 applicationand some Members were concerned with flood and surface water issues and potential pollution and believed it would have been beneficial to have had a green corridor to provide a flood mitigation area.

Other Members disagreed as the surface water flooding arrangements and the impact any surface water drainage would have on downstream ecology, in particular the pond within the garden of Stocks Farm had been reviewed and considered by the Inspector during the Appeal. It was highlighted that the Inspector was satisfied with the Environmental Agency, Thames Water and the Lead Local Flood Authority responses and the conditions imposed for the Outline Application.

Members asked that an informative be included for the Construction Management Plan to cover biodiversity on the pre-commencement work.

RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions and informatives listed below.

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:-

proactively offering a pre-application advice (in accordance with paragraphs 39 - 46);

seeking further information following receipt of the application;

seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application;

considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement (in accordance with paragraphs 55-58).

In this instance:

provided with the opportunity to amend the proposals in light of consultee comments;

considering the imposition of conditions

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 details submitted in relation to condition 2, 5, 11 and 14 of the Outline application 21/03758/OUT, in so far as they relate specifically to this reserved matters application (where relevant), are accepted, and the details approved.

Where conditions require later submission (i.e. to demonstrate compliance), these details remain outstanding and are not hereby approved. Where indicative details are approved, these can form a broad basis for future submissions, but may need amendment throughout the course of future reserved matters applications considering consultation and third party views, and are therefore approved on a without prejudice basis

It is noted that conditions 18 and 19 of application 21/03758/OUT have already been approved under separate cover.

5. The details submitted in relation to obligations of the Legal Agreement associated with Outline permission 21/03758/OUT, in so far as they relate specifically to this reserved matters application (where relevant), are accepted, and the detail approved. This detail relates to the sixth schedule, 2.1 a). Where obligations require later submission, (i.e. to demonstrate compliance, or for a subsequent phase of development), these details remain outstanding and are not hereby approved. Where indicative details are approved, these can form a broad basis for future submissions, but may need amendment throughout the course of future reserved matters applications considering consultation and third party views and are therefore approved on a without prejudice basis.

6. If during development works any contamination of the land is encountered or suspected then this shall be fully assessed in accordance with the Contaminated Land Guidance for Developers Leaflet on the BDBC website http://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/services/envhealth/contaminatedland.htm.

The developer must contact the Local Planning Authority as soon as possible and any action should be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. To ensure any soil, gas or water contamination on the site is remediated to protect the occupiers of the application site and/or adjacent land and in accordance with Policy EM12 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

7. If this development will result in new postal addresses or changes in addresses, please contact the council's Street Naming and Numbering team on 01256 845557 and email GMSTeam@basingstoke.gov.uk to commence the process. Details can be found on the council's website.

8. The Council encourages all contractors to be 'Considerate Contractors' when working in the Borough by being aware of the needs of neighbours and the environment.

9. For the avoidance of doubt, whilst the Construction Environmental Management Plan would include details of the provision of wheel washing facilities, the planning condition can only secure that these are provided, and available for use. Mud on the Highway, or damage to Highway verges, is not a matter that can be enforced by the Planning Authority through the Planning Acts. If any mud is deposited on the public highway despite these provisions (for any wheel washing facilities), this is a matter that would be addressed by the Highway Authority (Hampshire County Council) or the Police, through the Highways Act 1980 and the Road Traffic act 1988, including;

a. Highways Act 1980 Section 137 states: "If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway he is guilty of an offence".

b. Highways Act 1980 Section 148 states: "If without lawful authority or excuse a person deposits anything whatsoever on a highway to the interruption of any user of the highway he is guilty of an offence.

c. Section 149 of the Highways Act 1980 states: "If anything is deposited on the highway so as to constitute a nuisance/danger the Highway Authority can require the person who put it there to remove it forthwith". Mud causes skidding and is therefore dangerous and a nuisance.

d. Highways Act 1980 Section 161 states: "If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, deposits anything whatsoever on a highway in consequence of which a user of the highway is injured or endangered, that person is guilty of an offence".

e. Furthermore, the Road Traffic Act 1988 covers situations where a mechanically propelled vehicle is driven dangerously on a road. Driving dangerously can include driving a vehicle in a state that could cause danger to others.

Punishment for these offences by the Highway Authority or the Police ranges from fines to imprisonment.

10. This Decision Notice must be read in conjunction with a Planning Obligation completed under the terms of Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) for the Outline Planning application 21/03758/OUT. You are advised to satisfy yourself that you have all the relevant documentation.

11. The Applicant should note that as that the proposed roads and footways are being offered for adoption, the S38 process will still need to be undertaken in addition to any planning approval that may be granted by the Local Planning Authority, and the details of this process can be found via the following link - https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/developers/constructionstandards This process will require additional information to that submitted to date and require formal engineering drawings for assessment which may result in updates to the layout being required. As such, it is recommended that the developer engage with the S38 team at their earliest convenience.

12. The applicant should be reminded that works affecting ordinary watercourses require consent from the LLFA in addition to any planning permissions:

https://www.hants.gov.uk/landplanningandenvironment/environment/flooding/changewatercourse.

13. The development hereby approved results in the requirement to make payments to the Council as part of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) procedure. A Liability Notice setting out further details and including the amount of CIL payable will be sent out separately from this Decision Notice.

Some developments may be eligible for relief or exemption from CIL. Further information on reliefs and exemptions that may be available and how to claim them can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy%20(relief-and-exemptions).

Prior to your development commencing you are required to submit CIL Form 2 (Assumption of Liability) and CIL Form (Commencement Notice) (https://ecab.planningportal.co.uk/uploads/1app/forms/form_6_commencement_notice.pdf). Failure to Assume Liability and submit a Commencement Notice prior to the commencement of development may 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 (https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/content/doclib/2569.pdf).

14. In preparing details of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) secured by Condition 8 on the outline decision notice (APP/H1705/W/22/3302752/21/03758/OUT) the applicant is advised of the comments of the Development Control Committee meeting held on 4 December 2024 regarding the CEMP including measures to protect biodiversity value on site during the construction phases.
6 Quarterly Planning Appeals Report
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary analysis of the appeal decisions received from the 01/08/2024 to 31/10/2024. This highlights some of the issues drawn out by the Inspectors in arriving at their decision and which should be taken into account when future decisions are made, but is by no means a summary of all the issues referred to in the Inspectors’ decision notices.

Minutes The Planning and Development Manager introduced the report which provided a summary analysis of the appeal decisions received from 01/08/2024 to 31/10/2024. It highlighted some of the issues drawn out by the Inspectors in arriving at their decision and which should be taken into account when future decisions are made, but was by no means a summary of all the issues referred to in the Inspectors’ decision notices.

He referred to the Land South Of Myhaven, Woods Lane, Cliddesden application number 22/03290/FUL for the erection of 28 new dwellings following the demolition of Newland Lodge which was dismissed at appeal on grounds set out in the report but in particular, the proposal did not accord with any of the criteria for which new housing that may be permitted in the countryside and would result in an incongruous extension to the existing village that would be out of keeping with the prevailing settlement pattern and detrimental to the rural setting of the village.

RESOLVED: That the Members of the Development Control Committee note the outcomes of the appeal decisions and the reasons given for those decisions.
