The Committee received a report from the Director of Universal Services related to an application in respect of a new two storey school for 125 pupils with SEMH Needs.

Officers summarised the report, sharing details of the location of the site alongside site plans and photos of the area. It was noted that no objections had been received as a result of the consultation and the application was in line with the relevant policies of the Eastleigh Borough Council Local Plan (2022).

One deputation was received from Andrew Parker, Principal Architect, on behalf of the Applicant, in favour of the recommendation to the committee, noting that the application would help to meet the demand for Special School places in Hampshire.

During questions to officers it was clarified that the traffic impact would be minimal due to the majority of pupils travelling to the school via taxi or Hampshire Transport. The design included a one way system for traffic with dedicated waiting areas for vehicles.

Following a brief summary, the Chairman moved to the recommendation, which was voted on with the following outcome:

Favour:          11

Against:         0

Abstentions:  0

RESOLVED:

That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the conditions listed in Appendix A to the Decision Report.
