Item 1 – 21/03806/OUT: Outline application for the construction of up to 32 new homes, with upgraded access taken from Sainfoin Lane and alterations to Doctors Surgery car park (all matters reserved except access). Site: Land At OS Ref 457858 149396 Sainfoin Lane Oakley Hampshire

The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 57 of 182 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 which had been deferred at the Development Control Committee meeting held on the 12th March 2025 for more information from the Highway Authority in relation to the responses received to the planning application. The Highway Authority, which comprised both HCC Highways and HCC Countryside Services had raised both an “objection” and “no objection” to the proposed development.

The “objection” was from HCC Countryside Services who considered that the proposed amendments were harmful to users of the bridleway.

Since the last meeting the Highway Authority had removed its “objection” to the application as there was agreement that the layout presented, and as reviewed by the highway authority, was acceptable to meet the needs of users of the bridleway.

It was highlighted that the proposal would provide for two lanes of traffic and segregation for the safety of pedestrians which was considered beneficial to the existing bridleway.

The reduction of the car park and available parking spaces was discussed. It was acknowledged that although the car park would be reduced in size, there would still be 23 parking spaces which included one accessible space. The requirement to mark the allocated parking spaces would provide an efficient use of the car park. In addition, it was noted that the accessible space would be closer to reception.

The proposal was for up to 32 dwellings with 40% affordable housing was in accordance with both Policy SS6 of the Local Plan and Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan.

RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED The applicant be invited to enter into a legal agreement (in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 and Policies CN1, CN6, CN9, EM4 and EM6 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029) between the applicant and the Borough and County Councils to secure:

Item 2 – 24/02846/FUL: Full planning application for Phase 2 at Upper Cufaude Farm delivering 302 residential dwellings, community building, associated infrastructure, landscaping, car parking, and public open space (including a MUGA, LEAP and kickabout area). Access approved under Outline permission: 19/00018/OUT and Phase 1 Reserved Matters permission: 23/02003/RES. Site: Land At Upper Cufaude Farm Cufaude Lane Bramley Hampshire

The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 183 of 275 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 which resulted in mixed views.

Concern was expressed with the design of the proposal, in particular the 2.5 storey and slate roof dwellings, which some Members considered to be of an urban design and out of character with the rural setting of Bramley Parish and conflicted with the Bramley Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029 and the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document.

Other Members disagreed with the impact of the 2.5 storey dwellings due to the close vicinity of the 3 storey dwellings located in Vyne Park.

Concern was raised for the future occupants of the 23 dwellings which would require an alternative method of ventilation other than opening the window to achieve acceptable internal noise levels from the Basingstoke to Reading railway line and the MOD air activity such as the sporadic Chinook helicopter flights.

As the migration patterns of the Toads had changed since the outline application. Members discussed, following legal advice being given, whether a covenant be included in the Section 106 Agreement on application number 24/02846/FUL, to not implement Option B which had been given consent under the outline application as one of the mitigation measures should this application be approved.

Although there were some concerns raised on the design of the proposal, the site was an allocated site in Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan (BDBLP) 2011-2029 for up to 350 dwellings. The proposal was for 302 dwellings with 128 affordable housing and together with the lack of the Borough’s 5-year housing land supply various Members were supportive of the proposal.

RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the applicant entering into a legal agreement (in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 and Policies SS3.8, CN1, CN6, CN7, CN8, CN9, EM4 and EM5 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029), Policies H1, H2, CVA2 and RE3 of the Bramley Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2029, between the applicant and the Borough and County Councils to secure:

· Affordable housing

· Landscape Management Plan

· Tree Works Plan

· Biodiversity enhancements – provision of toad tunnel on Cufaude Lane (including maintenance and monitoring)

· Significant onsite biodiversity enhancements contributing towards BNG

· Travel Plan and School Travel Plan

· On site open space

· Community hall and associated car parking

· On site play provision (MUGA and LEAP)

· Employment Skills plan

Off-site financial provision:

· Transport

· Education

· PROW enhancements

· Public Art

Should the requirements set out above not be satisfactorily secured, then the Planning and Development Manager be delegated to REFUSE permission for appropriate reasons.

The Chair confirmed that the Committee wished the resolution to reflect that Option B for the Toad Mitigation Strategy should not be pursued and the Section 106 agreement should reflect this request by seeking a covenant that Option B would not be implemented.

On completion of the legal agreement(s) the Planning and Development Manager be delegated to grant planning permission subject to the conditions listed below.

Biodiversity Net Gain

35 The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition "(the biodiversity gain condition") that development may not begin unless:

(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and

(b) the planning authority has approved the plan.

The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if one is required in respect of this permission would be Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. These are listed below.

Based on the information available this permission is considered to be one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements listed below are considered to apply.

Statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements in respect of the biodiversity gain condition.

1. The application for planning permission was made before 12 February 2024.

2. The planning permission relates to development to which section 73A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (planning permission for development already carried out) applies.

3. The planning permission was granted on an application made under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and

(i)the original planning permission to which the section 73 planning permission relates* was granted before 12 February 2024; or

(ii)the application for the original planning permission* to which the section 73 planning permission relates was made before 12 February 2024.

4. The permission which has been granted is for development which is exempt being:

4.1 Development which is not 'major development' (within the meaning of article 2(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015) where:

i) the application for planning permission was made before 2 April 2024;

ii) planning permission is granted which has effect before 2 April 2024; or

iii) planning permission is granted on an application made under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 where the original permission to which the section 73 permission relates* was exempt by virtue of (i) or (ii).

4.2 Development below the de minimis threshold, meaning development which:

i) does not impact an onsite priority habitat (a habitat specified in a list published under section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006); and

ii) impacts less than 25 square metres of onsite habitat that has biodiversity value greater than zero and less than 5 metres in length of onsite linear habitat (as defined in the statutory metric).

4.3 Development which is subject of a householder application within the meaning of article 2(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015. A "householder application" means an application for planning permission for development for an existing dwellinghouse, or development within the curtilage of such a dwellinghouse for any purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse which is not an application for change of use or an application to change the number of dwellings in a building.

4.4 Development of a biodiversity gain site, meaning development which is undertaken solely or mainly for the purpose of fulfilling, in whole or in part, the Biodiversity Gain Planning condition which applies in relation to another development, (no account is to be taken of any facility for the public to access or to use the site for educational or recreational purposes, if that access or use is permitted without the payment of a fee).

4.5 Self and Custom Build Development, meaning development which:

i) consists of no more than 9 dwellings;

ii) is carried out on a site which has an area no larger than 0.5 hectares; and

iii) consists exclusively of dwellings which are self-build or custom housebuilding (as defined in section 1(A1) of the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015).

4.5 Development forming part of, or ancillary to, the high speed railway transport network (High Speed 2) comprising connections between all or any of the places or parts of the transport network specified in section 1(2) of the High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013.

* "original planning permission means the permission to which the section 73 planning permission relates" means a planning permission which is the first in a sequence of two or more planning permissions, where the second and any subsequent planning permissions are section 73 planning permissions.

Irreplaceable habitat

If the onsite habitat includes irreplaceable habitat (within the meaning of the Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Irreplaceable Habitat) Regulations 2024) there are additional requirements for the content and approval of Biodiversity Gain Plans.

The Biodiversity Gain Plan must include, in addition to information about steps taken or to be taken to minimise any adverse effect of the development on the habitat, information on arrangements for compensation for any impact the development has on the biodiversity of the irreplaceable habitat.

The planning authority can only approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if satisfied that the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the irreplaceable habitat is minimised and appropriate arrangements have been made for the purpose of compensating for any impact which do not include the use of biodiversity credits.

The effect of section 73D of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

If planning permission is granted on an application made under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (application to develop land without compliance with conditions previously attached) and a Biodiversity Gain Plan was approved in relation to the previous planning permission ("the earlier Biodiversity Gain Plan") there are circumstances when the earlier Biodiversity Gain Plan is regarded as approved for the purpose of discharging the biodiversity gain condition subject to which the section 73 planning permission is granted.

Those circumstances are that the conditions subject to which the section 73 permission is granted:

i) do not affect the post-development value of the onsite habitat as specified in the earlier Biodiversity Gain Plan, and

ii) in the case of planning permission for a development where all or any part of the onsite habitat is irreplaceable habitat the conditions do not change the effect of the development on the biodiversity of that onsite habitat (including any arrangements made to compensate for any such effect) as specified in the earlier Biodiversity Gain Plan.

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 and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement (in accordance with paragraphs 56-59).

In this instance:

was provided with pre-application advice;

the applicant was advised of any amendments required following receipt of consultee comments.

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 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. 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 844844 or email gmsteam@basingstoke.gov.uk to commence the process. Details can be found on the council's website.

6. 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.

7. In relation to the local equipped area of play (see condition 13), the Applicants attention is drawn to the comments of the Open space Officer.

The equipped play area should be served by two firm bonded surfaced access paths to two gates when further details are provided. The design requirements for play areas within the borough are set out in the Guidance Notes & Standards for the provision of Unsupervised Children's Play facilities. An equipped space should have at least one-multi-component item of play equipment that is suitable for children through the provision of steps or, if local needs require, a wheelchair ramp. Within the total provision of a neighbourhood, the items selected for each separate play area should vary

Any new plantings close to the play space would need careful consideration; filtered views of play spaces are acceptable as this allows for informal oversight but play areas should not be screened from view

BDBC will only adopt metal play equipment and low maintenance recycled plastic slatted benches. It therefore needs to be confirmed by the applicant at an early stage whether any open spaces are due to be transferred to the Council or not.

8. The planning permission does not authorise the undertaking of any works within the highway (carriageway, footway or verge). Any works within the highway must be approved by S278 Agreement, details of which can be found at https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/developers/constructionstandards

9. Nothing connected with the development, or its future use, shall have an adverse effect on the Public Rights of Way, which must always remain available for safe public use at all times.

i. No vehicles (including builder's and contractor's), machinery, equipment, materials, spoil, scaffolding, or anything else associated with the works, use, or occupation of the development, shall be left on or near to a Public Right of Way as to cause obstruction, hindrance, or a hazard to the legitimate users. The public retain the right to use the public right of way at all times.

ii. There must be no surface alterations to a Public Right of Way without the consent of Hampshire County Council as Highway Authority. Planning permission under the Town and County Planning Act (1990) does not provide this and separate consent is required. To carry out any such works without this permission would constitute an offence under Section 131 of the Highways Act (1980).

iii. Any damage caused to the surface of the Public Right of Way by construction traffic will be required to be restored to the satisfaction of the Area Countryside Access Manager upon the completion of the build.

If it is considered that a temporary closure of the PROW is required, the Applicant should apply to HCC. Details can be found here: Apply for a temporary closure | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk)

10. The Applicant is reminded to have consideration to the comments of the Country Service in relating to distances for proposed landscaping along the edge of the PROW.

11. It is recommended that the NatureSpace Best Practice Principles are considered and implemented where possible and appropriate.

It is recommended that the NatureSpace certificate is submitted to this planning authority at least 6 months prior to the intended commencement of any works on site.

It is essential to note that any works or activities whatsoever undertaken on site (including ground investigations, site preparatory works or ground clearance) prior to receipt of the written authorisation from the planning authority which permits the development to proceed under the District Licence (WML-OR134, or a 'Further Licence') are not licensed under the great crested newt District Licence. Any such works or activities have no legal protection under the great crested newt District Licence and if offences against great crested newts are thereby committed then criminal investigation and prosecution by the police may follow.

It is essential to note that any ground investigations, site preparatory works and ground / vegetation clearance works / activities (where not constituting development under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) in a red zone site authorised under the District Licence but which fail to respect controls equivalent to those detailed in the planning condition above which refers to the NatureSpace great crested newt mitigation principles would give rise to separate criminal liability under the District Licence, requiring authorised developers to comply with the District Licence and (in certain cases) with the GCN Mitigation Principles (for which Natural England is the enforcing authority); and may also give rise to criminal liability under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and/or the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) (for which the Police would be the enforcing authority).

12. In respect of condition 26 the developer can request information to support the discharge of this condition by visiting the Thames Water website at thameswater.co.uk/preplanning.

13. In respect of the Green Collection Homes, the Applicant is requested to be mindful of comments received on the application in reation to the use of slate PV tiles. Should alternative materials become available, the developer is encouraged to carry out the appropriate investigations as to whether an alternative material roof tile could be utilised.

14. For the avoidance of doubt, whilst the Construction Management Plan (condition 24) should include 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.

15. 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.

16. If the proposals include works to an ordinary watercourse, under the Land Drainage Act 1991, as amended by the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, prior consent from the Lead Local Flood Authority is required. This consent is required as a separate permission to planning. Information on ordinary watercourse consenting can be found at the following link https://www.hants.gov.uk/landplanningandenvironment/environment/flooding/changewatercourse

It is strongly recommended that this information is reviewed before Land Drainage consent application is made.

For guidance on providing the correct information, we recommend you use the Ordinary Watercourse Consents Pre-application service and help avoid delays occurring at the formal application stage. A Pre-application service for Ordinary Watercourse Consents is available, allowing consents to go through in a smoother, often more timely manner. For full information please visit: https://www.hants.gov.uk/landplanningandenvironment/environment/flooding/changewatercourse

17. In relation to the Community Building, the Applicant's attention is drawn to the comments of the Community Infrastructure Team with regards to the technical construction and future maintenance of the building.

18. 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 this planning application. You are advised to satisfy yourself that you have all the relevant documentation.

19. In respect of condition 35, Multi-functional Green Space as defined in the Council's adopted Green Space Standards within the Green Infrastructure Strategy the size of which is to be a minimum of 0.2ha (2,000m2) with no dimension being less than 15 metres.

20. This permission is a phased permission, including for the purposes of the Community Infrastructure Levy, as agreed by condition 3. The Applicant is reminded that that any CIL exemptions and/or reliefs (ie social housing relief) must be granted before commencement of the development and if any works start on site without all pre-commencement conditions for that phase being discharged, then the opportunity to claim exemption/relief will be lost, as will the option to pay in instalments once the CIL eventually calculated/charged.

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 and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement (in accordance with paragraphs 56-59).

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. 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 this development will result in new postal addresses or changes in addresses, please contact the council's Street Naming and Numbering team on 01256 844844 or email gmsteam@basingstoke.gov.uk to commence the process. Details can be found on the council's website.

5. The applicant is advised that the provision of a site foul drainage treatment plant may require an Environmental Permit from the Environment Agency. Please see the following details: https://www.gov.uk/permits-you-need-for-septic-tanks for further advice.

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."

7. The proposal has been submitted on the basis of self build for which there is no requirement to provide mandatory biodiversity net gain. However, the applicant is reminded that the proposed works must meet the definition of self build as set out in section 1(A1) of the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015. Should this not be the case this could result in potential enforcement action and also have implications in respect of the Community Infrastructure Levy.

8. In the event discoloured and/or odorous soils are encountered during foundations and other excavation works; or should any hazardous materials (including asbestos) or significant quantities of made ground be found, then all development works should be stopped and the Local Planning Authority contacted immediately.

Item 4 - 24/02283/ROC: Variation of condition 13 of 22/03228/ROC (Variation of condition 1 - to amend plan numbers to allow for revised design adding rear extension to the ground floor of 21/00427/FUL) - to change from septic tank or cess pit to now discharge foul water via water treatment plant. Site: Nunnery House Tunworth Road Mapledurwell Hampshire

Item 5 - 24/02378/PIP: Permission in Principle for the demolition of the existing equestrian buildings and erection of a minimum of 2 dwellings and a maximum of 4 dwellings and associated landscaping. Site: Land At Little Bowlings Farm Goddards Lane Sherfield-on-loddon Hampshire

The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 346 of 379 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 it was generally felt that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact to Carpenters Farm House.

Members had a difference of opinion to the impact of the proposal on the Countryside. Some Members felt that the dwellings had adequate screening from the road and would provide desired housing within the Countryside.

Other Members disagreed and felt that the development would be harmful to the character and appearance and setting of the Sherfield on Loddon Conservation Area. It was considered that the current barns were typical of a farmyard setting and the removal would result in an urbanisation of the site.

Concern was expressed that the access could potentially cause highway safety issues.

RESOLVED that: the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1 By virtue of the scale of the development (as a result of the maximum development sought), the proposal would not be sympathetic to and would fail to respect and integrate with the character, visual amenity and scenic quality of the area. As such the development is considered to be detrimental to the character of the area contrary to Sections 12 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and Policy D1 of the Sherfield on Loddon Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2029.

2 The proposed development would fail to preserve the architectural and historic significance of the listed building of Carpenters Farm House due to the introduction of inappropriate development which would adversely impact on and erode the farm's rural setting. This harm would be less than substantial. However, there are no public benefits which have been identified that would outweigh this harm. As such, the proposal is therefore in conflict with the guidance contained in Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, Policy D1 of the Sherfield on Loddon Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2029 and the Heritage Supplementary Planning Document 2019.

3 The proposed development would fail to preserve the character and appearance and setting of the Sherfield on Loddon Conservation Area. This harm would be less than substantial. However, there are no public benefits which have been identified that would outweigh this harm.

1. 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 service (in accordance with paragraphs 40-47).

In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and practice manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.

Item 6 - 24/02585/HSE: Erection of first floor rear and side extension and new front boundary wall. Site: 19 Hamble Drive Tadley Hampshire RG26 3UN

The Committee considered the report set out on pages of 380 of 3 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 believed that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the streetscene of West Street.

Members agreed that the overall bulk of the extension was too large for the site and the close proximity to, the northern boundary would represent an intrusive and overbearing form of development that would cause a harmful impact on 17 Hamble Drive.

Members requested that West Street be removed from refusal reason 1.

RESOLVED that: the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1 The proposed first floor extension by virtue of its size, height, roof form and design, would have a detrimental impact on the streetscenes of Hamble Drive and the amenity of the area. The proposal, would not be subservient to the host dwelling and would fail to integrate harmoniously with the existing property contrary to the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the guidance within the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (July 2018).

2 The proposed first floor extension by virtue of its two storey height, overall bulk and massing and its positioning along, and in close proximity to, the northern boundary would represent an intrusive and overbearing form of development which would result in unacceptable overshadowing, loss of light and outlook to the main private amenity area from the existing rear conservatory and nearest first floor window of 17 Hamble Drive. This relationship would be adversely harmful upon the amenities of the occupiers of 17 Hamble Drive contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and guidance contained within the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (July 2018).

Informative(s):-

1. While the submitted proposal was not considered to be acceptable, it may be possible to achieve an appropriate alternative scheme. Please contact the Case Officer if you wish to discuss your proposals.

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:-

considering the imposition of conditions.

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.
