Proposal: Construction of 44 dwellings with access, open space, landscaping and associated work and diversion of footpath No. 71 to the west

The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to grant permission.

The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the

meeting, which included:

1.                  An update sheet which included:

a.     A response from the Highway Authority

b.     Report updates

c.     Additional conditions in recommendations

2.                  Written deputations submitted by

a.     Ms Hadley

b.     Mr Mitra, on behalf of the applicant

c.     Ms Rason, on behalf of Havant Green Party

d.     Dr Grove

e.     Ms Brooks, on behalf of Havant Friends of the Earth and Havant Climate Alliance

f.       Councillor Bowerman

The Committee was addressed by:

1.                  Mr Mitra, the applicant’s agent, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant.

In response to questions from Members of the Committee, Mr Mitra clarified that there was no specific reason other than design terms for having no balconies in the application.

2.                  Ms Rason, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant.

3.                  Councillor Bowerman, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant.

The officers commented on the issues raised by public speakers and in the written submissions as follows:

·                     13 affordable housing units would be available on site.

·                     There would be some wild areas within the public open space, which would be managed as included in the ecology details submitted, and a condition had been included to that effect.

·                     The site was not part of the Southleigh development, and the site was allocated in its own right.

·                     The occupation of the site, access to be provided before occupation would be part of the Section 106 agreement with Hampshire County Council.

·                     Highway Authority would further consider the signage and railings related to the site at the Section 278 stage.

·                     Audits of the site resulted in amended plans and details to the proposal of the access to the site, which went up to the County and considered by their auditors on whether there was a safe access to the site that would go across a footpath.

·                     Right of Way team had raised no objections to the proposal.

In response to questions from members of the Committee, officers stated that:

a.                  the Highway Authority would have accessed whether a crossing would be needed given the level of traffic associated with the development. If a Toucan Crossing were to be required, it would have been expected the crossing be an explicit requirement.

b.                  temporary signage could be included as a condition to alert users of the route in question of the construction works during the construction activity phase. The Highway Authority had also accepted the principle of providing railings along the alignment of footpath together with road signage.

c.                   the Local Planning Authority would request that the Highway Authority consider signage and railings as part of the Section 278 negotiations for the divert footpath across the access.

d.                  Environmental Health were satisfied with the acoustic mitigation measures outlined in the application.

The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.

The Committee considered the acoustic mitigation measures and the housing need within the Borough and the Emsworth ward. The Committee also agreed that the development of the site would bring short-term disruptions to nearby residents. However, it was agreed that the eventual development of the site would be an asset to the area, and would also fit in very well with the area.

A motion to agree the recommendations set out in the report, with a minor amendment to Condition 13, in which “Protection of pedestrian routes during construction” was amended to “Protection of pedestrian routes during construction and provision of advance signage”; and as amended by the supplementary information, proposed by Councillor Bowdell and seconded by Councillor Linger was agreed.

RESOLVED that application APP/19/01226 be granted permission subject to:

(A) completion of the Section 106 Agreement to secure the requirements as set out in paragraph 7.83 above (for which authority is given to the Head of Legal Services to complete the Agreement); and

Any such measures shall be implemented in accordance with the agreed details unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Details of the implementation of all ecological mitigation, compensation and enhancement features shall be reported to the Local Planning Authority in writing within one month of their completion.

Reason: To provide ecological protection and enhancement in accordance with the Conservation Regulations 2017, Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, National Planning Policy Framework, NERC Act 2006 and Policy CS 11 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011.

4.   Reasonable vigilance for the presence of contamination and soil hazards shall be maintained during all groundwork. In the event that any suspected contamination (obviously contaminated / stained or discoloured soil / groundwater) or any significant buried waste material is encountered (especially metallic objects which might comprise barrels or tanks, vehicles or ordnance), works in affected areas of the site shall cease until the Local Planning Authority has been notified of the discovery, and a scheme to deal with the risks associated with the suspected contamination has been submitted to- and approved in writing by- the Local Planning Authority.

The scheme may take a proportionate approach to the degree of formality adopted and may comprise separate results / reports / statements as appropriate, but unless specifically excluded by agreement shall include;

1. Investigation in the vicinity of the suspect material, sufficient to characterise it’s nature, likely extent & mobility,

2. An appropriate assessment of the risks to all receptors that may be affected, based upon 1), and;

3. Where potentially unacceptable risks are identified by 2), a Remediation / Risk Management Strategy that includes appropriately considered remedial objectives and clearly defined proposals for achieving these, having due regard to sustainability

26.   At all times following occupation of the development hereby approved, all measures necessary to meet the approved water efficiency calculation shall be maintained so as to ensure that no more than 110 litres per person per day shall be consumed in the development in perpetuity.

Reason: There is existing evidence of high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water environment with evidence of eutrophication at some European designated nature conservation sites in the Solent catchment. The PUSH Integrated Water Management Strategy has identified that there is uncertainty as to whether new housing development can be accommodated without having a detrimental impact on the designated sites within the Solent. Further detail regarding this can be found in the appropriate assessment that was carried out regarding this planning application. To ensure that the proposal may proceed as sustainable development, there is a duty upon the local planning authority to ensure that sufficient mitigation is provided against any impacts which might arise upon the designated sites. In coming to this decision, the Council have had regard to Regulation 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, and Policy CS11 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011.

27.Prior to occupation details of those plots to have Photovoltaic Panels installed in the roofs shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall thereafter be undertaken in accordance with the approved details prior to the occupation of the properties to have the Photovoltaic Panels installed.

Reason: In the interests of energy efficiency and having due regard to Policy CS14 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy)2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
