To change the use of land east of Lanham Lane from agricultural land to a dog walking facility (Sui Generis Use Class) at Crabwood, Sarum Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO22 5QS (No. 24/02682/HCM) WRG046
The Committee received a report from the Director of Universal Services related to a change of use of land east of Lanham lame from agricultural land to a dog walking facility.
Officers summarised the report, sharing details of the location of the site alongside site plans, photos of the area and details of the fence and gates.
Deputations were received from Rachel Waldron, Matthew Rowe and Cllr Sam Culhane in opposition to the recommendation to the committee. A further deputation was received from the applicant, Jon Dyer-Slade/Paul Wright, in favour of the recommendation to the committee. Councillor Jan Warwick, whose division the application was in, spoke against the recommendation.
During questions to officers, it was clarified that the facilities and four spaces were accessible only with a booking code, but the remaining eight were always available. These spaces had been included to reduce the on-road parking at Lanham Lane. It was also noted that it was not for the committee to consider the business case, only the application put before them.
During debate, Councillor Quantrill proposed an extra planning condition in relation to car parking which was seconded by Councillor Crawford and agreed to form part of the recommendation as set out below:
‘Prior to commencement of the development hereby approved a revised car parking plan limiting the number of parking spaces to the 4 operational parking spaces for the dog walking facility shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the County Planning Authority.
The approved plan shall be implemented as approved for the duration of the development.’
Following a summary, the Chairman moved to the recommendation, which received unanimous approval.
RESOLVED:
That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the conditions listed in
Appendix A, as updated by the update report and the additional condition above.
