Havant Borough Council Planning Committee Meeting

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Crellin and Milne.

There were no declarations of interests relating to matters on the agenda.

There were no matters to be considered for site viewing and deferment.

(The site was viewed by the Site Viewing Working Party on 8 December 2022)

Proposal:      Application for Reserved Matters Approval pursuant to Outline Planning Permission APP/19/00007 for the layout, scale, appearance and landscaping of 70 dwellings and associated works. Request for approval of details pursuant to Conditions 5 (Arboriculture); 7 (landscaping); 8 (drainage); 10 (boundary treatments); 13 (levels); 15 (highways); 17,18 and 19 (archaeology); 21 and 32 (lighting).

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

The Committee noted that conditions 17, 18 and 19 had been discharged.

The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the meeting, which included:

1)                  a written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant; and

2)                  an update sheet which included amended and additional conditions.

The Committee was addressed by Mr Osborn, the applicant’s agent, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant. During his deputation Mr Osborn corrected his written submission as follows:

 i.                    reference to First Homes in his written submission be deleted; and

ii.                    two objections had been raised to the proposal.

Mr Osborn drew the Committee’s attention to a revised sustainability statement that had been submitted to overcome the concerns raised by objectors.

In response to questions from members of the Committee, Mr Osborn and Ms Whishall:

·                     Confirmed that reference to First Homes in Mr Osborn’s written submission should be deleted

·                     Advised that the landscaping proposals for the frontage of the site were guided by the demands of the water company

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

(a)                advised that it was unlikely that people would want to use footpath/cycle route for vehicular access. The route would be subject to a S278 agreement with Hampshire County Council which would consider the safety aspects of the proposed cycle route. The Council could impose a condition to prevent vehicular access to the development via the footpath/cycle route; and

(b)        advised that solar panels did not form part of the application as submitted.

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

The Committee considered that the proposed development would provide an attractive residential development of much needed market and affordable housing in the Borough.

RESOLVED that application APP/21/00678 be granted permission subject to:

A.                  The satisfactory completion of the S106 Deed of Variation as set out in paragraph 7.92 of the officer’s report to secure the necessary requirements arising from this reserved matters application (for which authority is given to the Head of Legal Services to complete the Deed of Variation):

B.                  The granting of planning permission reference 53322/005 by East Hampshire District Council;

C.                 The following conditions (subject to such changes and/or additions that the Head of Planning considers necessary to impose prior to the issuing of the decision).

Proposal:      Demolition of 8 no. garages and erection of a 2 storey building to provide 4 no. 1 bed flats.

The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the

Head of Planning to grant permission.

In response to questions raised by Members of the Committee, the officers advised that

a.                  a majority of the lorries entered and exited the service road via Middle Park Way;

b.                  parking in the car park in front of the shops was regulated by a Traffic Regulation Order;

c.                   car parking spaces had been provided by staff employed by the shops;

d.                  future residents of the proposed flats could only use the car park at the front of the shops for loading or unloading;

e.                  a bin store was proposed for the flats. It was understood the owner would retain responsibility for the management of the proposed bin storage; and

f.                    a condition was recommended to control the noise levels within the flats from the air conditioning units.

Although it was acknowledged that the flats would tidy up the area, concern was raised that

1.              that the development was likely to encourage parking in nearby roads which would exacerbate the existing problem associated with on street parking in the area; and

2.              the future residents of the flats would be disturbed by deliveries to the shops

However, the majority of the Committee considered that the site was in a sustainable location and the benefits of the scheme outweighed parking concerns and that the proposal would make a modest contribution towards meeting the Council’s housing targets.

It was therefore

RESOLVED that application APP/21/01207 be granted permission subject to the following conditions

1.                  General

2.                  The development must be begun not later than three years beginning with the date of this permission.

3.                  Reason: To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

            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 its 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

            At all times following occupation of the development hereby approved, all measures for water usage within the submitted nutrient budget shall be maintained 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.
