Photos of Valve Towers at Reservoirs
(The site
was viewed by the Site Viewing Working Party)
Proposal: Application under Section 73 of
the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in respect of Conditions 2
and 3 of the Hybrid permission planning reference APP/20/00990
dated 15th October 2021 for proposed changes to the size and alignment of
the main reservoir embankment.
The
Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the
Head of Planning to grant planning permission subject to
conditions.
The
Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to
the
meeting,
which included:
1.
Three written submissions, submitted by the
applicant’s agent, Ms Brooks, on behalf of Havant Climate
Alliance and Havant Friends of the Earth, and Ms Viney.
2.
Minutes of the Site Viewing Working Party held on 24
October 2024.
3.
Two addendum updates, which contained the
presentation provided at the officer briefing, responses to the
queries made at the Site Viewing Working Party on 24 October 2024;
and responses to questions arising from the officer briefing held
on the 28 October 2024.
The
Committee was addressed by:
1.
Ms Brooks, who reiterated the issues set out in the
written deputation submitted.
2.
Mr Turner and Mr Hanson, the applicant’s
agents, reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation
submitted.
In
response to questions from members of the Committee, Mr Turner and
Mr Hanson stated that:
1.
The detailed design process conducted by a panel of
engineers, including external engineers highlighted the need to
relocate the valve tower.
2.
Fencing, signage, water, hostile architecture and
the lack of handrails on the valve tower would prevent and deter
intruders from gaining access to it.
3.
At various points around the reservoir, there would
be safety measures including signage that would provide an
emergency contact telelphone number.
4.
The safety risk assessment has concluded that it
would be unacceptable to put the valve tower within the embankment
of the reservoir as originally proposed.
5.
All the pipework and valves within the valve tower
would be designed to be accessed and maintained via the
culvert.
6.
The CDM risk assessment was one of many processes
carried out before arriving at the current engineering solution of
moving the valve tower.
7.
Response (d) of the first addendum paper addressed
the reasons for the relocation of the valve tower.
8.
Page 7 of the second addendum paper had addressed
how unauthorised personnel would be prevented from accessing the
control house.
In
response to a question raised by a Member of the Committee seeking
clarification on the two applications submitted for consideration
at the meeting, the officers advised that the Section 73
application does amend the original application.
The
officers commented on the issues raised by public speakers and in
the written submissions as follows:
·
There would be a whole range of other legislations
and regulations that operate outside of planning, which would
govern the safety of the reservoir.
·
It would be impossible to eradicate risk completely,
particularly the risk of persons committed to getting into the
reservoir. However, there would be a range of methods that could be
implemented to minimize this risk.
·
There were other similar valve tower designs
elsewhere, and that such designs were quite common.
·
Measures to address the risk of unauthorised access
to the reservoir and drowing would be covered by condition 26 as
set out in the report.
·
Risks of drowning were considered at the outline
stage of the application.
In
response to questions from members of the Committee, officers
stated that:
a.
Condition 26 has not been discharged.
b.
The risks posed by the Reservoir would not be so
unacceptable to the level that it would warrant a refusal to the
application.
c.
There would be a further opportunity to reinforce
the safety condition.
d.
The variation on the actual embankment would be set
out in page 30 of the report.
The
Committee discussed the application in detail together with the
views raised by deputees.
The
Committee considered the visual aspects of the application, the
valve tower’s relocation, the design and the look of the
tower, the risks of the changes introduced by the application, and
the wildlife corridor of the reservoir.
RESOLVED that application
APP/24/00312 be granted permission subject to 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):
