APPLICANT
Mrs and Mr Sam and Terry Davis
SITE
Land lying to The north east of Manor Farm, Chilworth Old Village, CHILWORTH
PROPOSAL
Change of use from arable to equestrian use, erection of stables, hay barn, jump shed, construction of manege and parking, installation of septic tank, erection of fencing
AMENDMENTS
19th September 2023 – description of development altered to remove reference to floodlighting
31st August 2023 – further information on essential need for the proposals received
24th August 2023 – samples and details of materials and muck heap details received.
14th July 2023 – amended landscape management plan received.
15th May 2023 – surface water drainage information received.
12th April 2023 – ecological impact assessment received.
CASE OFFICER
Kate Levey
REFUSED for the reasons:
1.
The proposed development, by reason of the size and scale of the equestrian buildings, constitutes unjustified development in this countryside location. In both this context, and the resultant unacceptable impact of the proposal on character and function of the countryside gives rise to unjustified harm to the countryside, contrary to Policy COM2(b) of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).
2.
The proposed buildings, by reason of their size and scale, and their siting and visual prominence from the A27 and Old Chilworth Lane which afford extensive views of the development from the public domain, results in an uncharacteristic and unacceptably prominent form of development within the local gap. The development results in a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area and both physically and visually diminishes the separation between settlements. In doing so the proposal has the unacceptable effect of compromising the integrity of the Local Gap. This was afforded significant weight in the planning balance by the Southern Area Planning Committee. The proposal is contrary to policies E2(a) and E3(a) and (b) of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).
The Officer’s recommendation as per the agenda and the update paper was proposed by Councillor Cooper and seconded by Councillor A Dowden. Upon being put to the vote the motion was lost. A proposal for refusal was proposed by Councillor Bundy and seconded by Councillor Dunleavey. Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.
