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 39 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 40-47);
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;
was provided with pre-application advice;
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. 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.

seeking further information following receipt of the application;
considering the imposition of conditions.

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.

For information more generally on the Climate Emergency please visit: https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/climateemergency.
4. 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)
(https://ecab.planningportal.co.uk/uploads/1app/forms/form_2_assumption_of_liability.pdf)
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).
5. The applicant's attention is drawn to the location within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, therefore consideration should be given to ensuring minimum light spillage upon the dark night skies. Further guidance on minimising light spill can be found at Lighting_Guide_07-05_MEDRES.pdf (northwessexdowns.org.uk).
6. The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place. Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence.
Item 4 – 24/02283/ROC: Variation of condition 13 of 21/00427/FUL (Erection of 1 no. 4 bed dwelling, detached garage, vehicular and pedestrian access, servicing and landscaping on land to north of Nunnery House) to change from septic tank or cess pit to now discharge foul water via water treatment plant. Site: Nunnery House Tunworth Road Mapledurwell Hampshire
The Chair confirmed that the application had been withdrawn from the agenda before the meeting and was deferred to a future Committee.
RESOLVED that: the application be DEFERRED.
Item 5 - 24/02973/PIP: Application for permission in principle for residential development for a minimum of 4 dwellings and a maximum of 4 dwellings. Site: Land Adjacent to Council Houses North Of Galley Lane Headley Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 149 of 174 of the agenda and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application and it was acknowledged that the development would conflict with Policies SS1 and SS6 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, however those policies were considered out of date due to the Council being unable to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, a tilted balance must therefore be applied which had regard to directing developments to sustainable locations, making efficient use of land and ensuring high quality design. The proposed development would result in new dwellings within a sustainable rural location and make efficient use of land. Design matters would be considered within a Technical Details Consent application.
RESOLVED that: the Permission in Principle be APPROVED subject to the informatives listed below.
Informative(s):-
1. This permission in principle (PIP) shall cease to have effect three years after the date of this Decision Notice. The Technical Details Consent (TDC) relating to the proposed development must be granted prior to the expiration of the PIP.
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 amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application.
In this instance:
the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit.
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. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council implemented its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on the 25th June 2018. The required forms have been submitted for CIL contributions to be calculated if applicable. From these forms, it would appear that the development would not be exempt from any CIL payments. CIL will apply to the development consented through the permission in principle route if a TDC has been granted. Charges will become due from the date that a chargeable development is commenced.
4. The Local Planning Authority would recommend early pre-application discussion on the Technical Details Consent (TDC).
5. The Technical Details Consent (TDC) Key Development considerations that are required are as follows:
A Design and Access Statement which addresses how any proposed development would:

4. 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)
(https://ecab.planningportal.co.uk/uploads/1app/forms/form_2_assumption_of_liability.pdf)
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).
5. The applicant's attention is drawn to the location within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, therefore consideration should be given to ensuring minimum light spillage upon the dark night skies. Further guidance on minimising light spill can be found at Lighting_Guide_07-05_MEDRES.pdf (northwessexdowns.org.uk).
6. The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place. Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence.
Item 4 – 24/02283/ROC: Variation of condition 13 of 21/00427/FUL (Erection of 1 no. 4 bed dwelling, detached garage, vehicular and pedestrian access, servicing and landscaping on land to north of Nunnery House) to change from septic tank or cess pit to now discharge foul water via water treatment plant. Site: Nunnery House Tunworth Road Mapledurwell Hampshire
The Chair confirmed that the application had been withdrawn from the agenda before the meeting and was deferred to a future Committee.
RESOLVED that: the application be DEFERRED.
Item 5 - 24/02973/PIP: Application for permission in principle for residential development for a minimum of 4 dwellings and a maximum of 4 dwellings. Site: Land Adjacent to Council Houses North Of Galley Lane Headley Hampshire
The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 149 of 174 of the agenda and other matters discussed at the meeting.
The Committee discussed the proposed application and it was acknowledged that the development would conflict with Policies SS1 and SS6 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, however those policies were considered out of date due to the Council being unable to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, a tilted balance must therefore be applied which had regard to directing developments to sustainable locations, making efficient use of land and ensuring high quality design. The proposed development would result in new dwellings within a sustainable rural location and make efficient use of land. Design matters would be considered within a Technical Details Consent application.
RESOLVED that: the Permission in Principle be APPROVED subject to the informatives listed below.
Informative(s):-
1. This permission in principle (PIP) shall cease to have effect three years after the date of this Decision Notice. The Technical Details Consent (TDC) relating to the proposed development must be granted prior to the expiration of the PIP.
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 amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application.
In this instance:
the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit.
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. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council implemented its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on the 25th June 2018. The required forms have been submitted for CIL contributions to be calculated if applicable. From these forms, it would appear that the development would not be exempt from any CIL payments. CIL will apply to the development consented through the permission in principle route if a TDC has been granted. Charges will become due from the date that a chargeable development is commenced.
4. The Local Planning Authority would recommend early pre-application discussion on the Technical Details Consent (TDC).
5. The Technical Details Consent (TDC) Key Development considerations that are required are as follows:
A Design and Access Statement which addresses how any proposed development would:
i) Respect the established pattern and character of surrounding development; and
ii) Ensure that an acceptable level of residential amenity would be available to the occupants of the dwelling and neighbouring properties in terms of amenity space, privacy, outlook and levels of natural light, in accordance with Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan (2011-2029), Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document 2018 and guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework (September 2023).
A suitable housing mix and commitment to accomodate at least 15% accessible and adaptable homes in accordance with Policy CN3 of the Local Plan and the Housing Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
