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

Notwithstanding any description of materials in the application no above ground construction works shall take place until samples and / or a full specification of the materials to be used externally on the hereby approved dwelling have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such details shall include the type, colour and texture of the materials. Only the materials so approved shall be used, in accordance with any terms of such approval.
Reason:To ensure the appearance of the development is satisfactory and having due regard to policies CS11 and CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
4

5
Prior to the first occupation of the hereby approved dwelling, details of the planting for the landscaped strip in the north-west corner of the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such details shall include the sizes, species and number of plants to be planted, and timing provisions for completion of the implementation of all such landscaping works. The implementation of all such approved landscaping shall be completed in full accordance with such approved timing provisions. Any shrub or plant which dies or is otherwise removed within the first 5 years shall be replaced with another of the same species and size in the same position during the first available planting season.
Reason: To ensure the appearance of the development is satisfactory and having due regard to policies CS11 and CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
6

7
The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until:
(a) A water efficiency calculation in accordance with the Government's National Calculation Methodology for assessing water efficiency in new dwellings has been undertaken which demonstrates that no more than 110 litres of water per person per day shall be consumed within the development, and this calculation has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority; and

Further detail regarding this can be found in the appropriate assessment that was carried out regarding this planning application. In compliance with Regulation 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, the local planning authority has a duty to ensure that sufficient mitigation is provided against any impacts which might arise upon the designated sites. In coming to this decision, the Council has also had regard to Policy CS11 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011.

1
The development must be begun not later than three years beginning with the date of this permission.
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.

Notwithstanding the details on the hereby approved plans, the AMS shall include details of a NO-DIG cell web type construction to be used within the Root Protection Areas (RPAs) of trees and plans showing the calculated diameter of the RPAs. Thereafter the development shall be implemented fully in accordance with the approved AMS.
Reason: To ensure that the trees on and around the site are adequately protected from damage to their health and amenity value, and having due regard to policies CS13 and DM8 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework. It is considered necessary for this to be a pre-commencement condition as these details need to be agreed prior to the construction of the development and thus go to the heart of the planning permission.
4
Notwithstanding the details shown on the hereby approved plans, no new lighting shall be installed until a lighting scheme, designed to minimise light spill and impacts on wildlife, particularly bats, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall provide information on the specification, lux, direction and screening of the lights to be installed and shall include plans showing predicted light spillage contours in relation to identified ecological features. Thereafter the lighting shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved details, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: In order to avoid and minimise impacts of artificial lighting on the ecological interest of the site and to prevent harm to visual amenityand having due regard to policies DM10 and CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework..
5
The implementation of this planning permission shall be carried out in accordance with the summary section of the submitted Ecology Screening Report (HCC Ecology, September 2022). Construction work shall be completed outside the main nesting season of March to August. If this is not possible, a nesting bird check shall be conducted by a suitably experience ecologist no sooner than 24 hours prior to any construction work commencing. If any active nests are found to be present, a suitable buffer of approximately 5m shall be instigated around the nest and this shall be left undisturbed, with no noisy works to be undertaken, until the nests have naturally become no longer active, i.e. young have fledged and left the nest area.
Reason: To ensure that the protection of ecology and/or biodiversity is fully taken into account during the construction process in order to ensure the development will not be detrimental to the maintenance of the species, and having due regard to policy CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
6
Notwithstanding any details contained on the plans hereby approved, prior to the first use of the development or within the first planting season after the practical completion of the earthworks, whichever is the sooner, the areas of new landscaping shall be seeded with a grass seed that shall include a wildflower mix element suited to clay soils, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Proposal: Application for the approval of Reserved Matters in respect of Shaft 1 (the Phase 1 Scheme) pursuant to Condition 2 of the outline planning permission under planning reference APP/20/00991 dated 15th October 2021 for the Pipeline from Bedhampton Springs to Havant Thicket Reservoir.
The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to grant reserved matters approval.
The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the
meeting, which included:
1. A written deputation submitted by Councillor Redsull
2. An addendum update
A deputation submitted by Councillor Keast and not published was circulated prior to the question and debate session, with the Chairman’s agreement.
The Committee was addressed by Councillor Keast, who reiterated the issues as submitted in his written deputation, and did not take part in the debate or vote on this item following his deputation.
The officers commented on the issues raised by the verbal and written deputation as follows:
· The application was a reserved matters application.
· The application only sought approval for the shaft.
· There was no material change as set out in the outline application for the pipeline or the reservoir, and in respect of the application, the use was not proposed to be for treated water by Southern Water.
In response to questions from members of the Committee, officers clarified:
a. The Councillors’ scope of considerations for the application.
b. That the application would be for a single shaft.
c. That the pipe, which would go into the shaft, would have to be the subject of a separate matters reserved planning application.
d. That there would be a number of pre-commencement conditions for the applicant to discharge if the application was granted planning permission.
e. That the applicants would not have obligations to handle off-site improvements as part of the outline consented scheme.
f. That the applicant would be required to adhere to a number of conditions regarding discharge from the pipe.
The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.
The Committee considered the technicality of the application and the scope of the application.
RESOLVED that application APP/24/00204 be granted reserved matters approval subject to the following conditions:

Proposal: Installation of a hard stand/drive on part of the front garden to support the charging of electric vehicles.
The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to refuse permission.
The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the
meeting, which included:
1. Written deputations submitted by the applicant and an anonymous resident.
2. An addendum update.
The Committee was addressed by:
1. Mr Evans, the applicant, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted.
In response to questions from members of the committee, Mr Evans pointed out that:
a. His car would be blocking the other garage if his car could not be parked into his garage.
b. He considered the use of grasscrete as a potential alternative paving material.
c. If his car were not parked on the street, it would increase the parking space available in his community.
The officers commented on the issues raised by public speakers and in the written submissions as follows:
· There would not be an increase in flood risk if the application were to be granted.
· There would not be an adverse impact on ecology if the application were to be granted.
· The addendum update sheet had addressed the timeline for the Article 4 Direction.
The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.
The Committee considered the location of the application, the application’s potential impact on the street scene, the impact of lack of parking for the applicant and his neighbours, the applicant’s use of electric vehicle, the size of the current garage relative to the size of electric vehicles, and the application’s potential impact on the conservation area.
RESOLVED that application APP/24/00130 be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposal by virtue of introduction of a large expanse of hardstanding would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the streetscene as it would puncture the strong, predominantly green frontage in Tower Gardens. The proposal would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would result in less than substantial harm to its significance. The public benefits would be limited and would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area. Furthermore, the proposal would fail to conserve and enhance the special qualities of the National Landscape (Chichester Harbour AONB). The proposal is therefore contrary to policies CS11, CS12 and CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and DM20 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014, the Chichester Harbour AONB Management Plan and the Chichester Harbour AONB SPD, the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023) and Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
