(The site was viewed by the Site Viewing Working Party)
Proposal: Approval of reserved matters comprising layout, landscape, scale and appearance, pursuant to outline planning permission APP/21/01071 for the development of 43 dwellings along with public open space and associated infrastructure works.
The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to grant approval.
The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the
meeting, which included:
1. Written statements submitted by Mr Tate, Mr Moody and Ms Mills.
2. an update sheet which included further information requested by the Site Viewing Working Party, a further letter of representation, and updated recommendations and conditions.
The Committee was addressed by:
1. Mr Tate, who reiterated the issues set out in the written deputation submitted.
In response to questions from the Committee, Mr Tate stated that:
a. He believed that the applicant had not declared the adjoining land that was owned by them at the time of the planning application.
b. The adjoining land that was owned by the applicant was east of the Phase 1 development.
2. Mr Moody and Ms Mills, the applicant’s agents, who reiterated the issues set out in their written deputations.They have also added that there would be no statutory requirement to a submit a red and blue line plan for a reserved matters application.
In response to questions from members of the Committee, Mr Moody and Ms Mills stated that:
a) The mechanical venting could pull clean, fresh air in the dwellings.
b) The construction compound would be controlled by a construction and environmental management plan, and would be controlled as part of a discharge of planning conditions.
c) Deferring the application would bring significant negative impacts to the applications as there would be time restrictions in terms of ecological surveys etc.
d) The chimneys depicted on the elevations were decorative.
The officers commented on the issues raised by public speakers and in the written submissions as follows:
· Officers were satisfied that there was no statutory requirement for the applicant to include ‘land within a blue line’ on a reserved matters application submission.
· The route of Narrow Marsh Lane was entirely outside of the Phase 2 outline and the reserved matters application areas.
In response to questions from members of the Committee, officers pointed out that:
a. There was no requirement in the approval for the phase 1 development for a restorative work on Narrow Marsh Lane.
b. The Hampshire County Council archaeologist did not object to the phase 1 proposal of the development.
c. The scope of the application would only include the appearance, scale, landscape and layout of the 43 dwellings.
d. There was only a requirement for a red site line to be outlined in the reports.
e. There would be topsoil on the Narrow Marsh Lane area, and it would be consistent with future landscaping intentions by the applicant required under the phase 1 approval.
f. In respect of the Phase 1 development, the inspector concluded that the Narrow Marsh Lane had a limited degree of heritage significance, and classified it as a non-designated heritage asset.
g. In respect of the Phase 1 development, the inspector concluded that the benefits outweighed the harms brought by that planning scheme.
h. Surface water run-off and foul water discharges would be separate matters for this development.
i. Surface water drainage requirements would have to be satisfied prior to the commencement of the development.
j. The Lead Local Flood Authority and the officers were content with the surface water drainage arrangements of the site.
The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.
The Committee considered the appearance and the landscaping of the dwellings, the sustainability of the development, the effects of the development on Narrow Marsh Lane, and the heritage status of Narrow Marsh Lane.

No development above slab level shall take place until an Acoustic Design Statement setting out the acoustic mitigation measures to be employed with regard to the building envelope, including fenestration and ventilation, for all residential units, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report shall set out how the mitigation measures shall meet BS8223:2014 standards as recommended for indoor ambient noise levels for dwellings, especially in relation to living rooms and bedrooms i.e during the day (07:00 to 23:00) 35 dB L Aeq,16 hour and at night (23:00 to 07:00) 30 dB L Aeq,8 hour for bedrooms. The acoustic mitigation report shall also stipulate which units will use passive ventilation and which will use mechanical ventilation. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure the residential amenity of the properties is not impacted upon by any external noise levels, especially traffic noise in accordance with Policy CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, Policy DM18 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

Such testing should be achieved using at least 3 sample dwellings, nearest to the measurement positions Locations 1, 2 & 3. A report shall be produced which details the post validation testing that has taken place. This report is to confirm the expected noise levels within the proposed dwellings have been achieved, especially at bedroom and living room first floor level, and are in line with those levels laid out in BS8233:2014, and recommended for indoor ambient noise levels for dwellings, especially in relation to living rooms and bedrooms i.e during the day (07:00 to 23:00) 35 dB L Aeq,16 hour and at night (23:00 to 07:00) 30 dB L Aeq,8 hour for bedrooms. In addition to a windows closed scenario, levels should also be provided with windows in an open position. Similarly for traditional external areas that are used for personal amenity space, such as gardens and patios, it is desirable that the external noise level does not exceed 50 dB LAeq, 16 hour with an upper guideline value of 55 dB LAeq, 16 hour in noisier environments. External amenity area levels are also required to be tested upon completion, to confirm the levels detailed here, and as a result of any proposed mitigation measures, have been met.
Reason: To ensure the residential amenity of the property will not be impacted
upon by any external noise levels in accordance with Policy CS16 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, Policy DM18 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
