No such activity shall take place on Sundays or public holidays.
Reason: To ensure all activity associated with the demolition and construction period – including deliveries take place, are undertaken at times appropriate to this location. Having regard to both noise, vibration, and potential conflict with road users in this location, in accordance with Policies E8 and T1 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).
16.
No occupation of the dwellings hereby permitted shall be allowed to take place unless or until the dwellings are connected to mains foul sewer.
Reason: To ensure a suitable solution for foul water disposal is in place to minimise the risk of pollution in accordance with Policy E8 of the Test Valley Borough Local Plan (2016).
Notes to Applicant:
1.
In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with the application and where possible suggesting solutions.
2.
Bats and their roosts receive strict legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. All work must stop immediately if bats, or evidence of bat presence (e.g. droppings, bat carcasses or insect remains), are encountered at any point during this development. Should this occur, further advice should be sought from Natural England and/or a professional ecologist.
3.
Birds' nests, when occupied or being built, receive legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). It is highly advisable to undertake clearance of potential bird nesting habitat (such as hedges, scrub, trees, suitable outbuildings etc.) outside the bird nesting season, which is generally seen as extending from March to the end of August, although may extend longer depending on local conditions. If there is absolutely no alternative to doing the work in during this period then a thorough, careful and quiet examination of the affected area must be carried out before clearance starts. If occupied nests are present then work must stop in that area, a suitable (approximately 5m) stand-off maintained, and clearance can only recommence once the nest becomes unoccupied of its own accord.
4.
The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition "(the biodiversity gain condition") that development may not begin unless:
a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if one is required in respect of this permission would be Test Valley Borough Council. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. However, based on the information available this permission is one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements are considered to apply. Development shall proceed in accordance with any such approved details, with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan maintained for the minimum of the 30 years which is set in the Environment Act 2021.
5.
There must be no surface alterations to a Public Right of Way without the consent of Hampshire County Council as Highway Authority via a Section 278 agreement. Planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 does not provide this and separate consent is required. To carry out any such works without this permission would constitute an offence under Section 131 of the Highways Act 1980.

Notes to Applicant:
1.
In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions.

Should this occur, further advice should be sought from Natural England and/or a professional ecologist.

Birds' nests, when occupied or being built, receive legal protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). It is highly advisable to undertake clearance of potential bird nesting habitat (such as hedges, scrub, trees, suitable outbuildings etc.) outside the bird nesting season, which is generally seen as extending from March to the end of August, although may extend longer depending on local conditions. If there is absolutely no alternative to doing the work in during this period then a thorough, careful and quiet examination of the affected area must be carried out before clearance starts. If occupied nests are present then work must stop in that area, a suitable (approximately 5m) stand-off maintained, and clearance can only recommence once the nest becomes unoccupied of its own accord.

The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition "(the biodiversity gain condition") that development may not begin unless:
a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if one is required in respect of this permission would be Test Valley Borough Council. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. However, based on the information available this permission is one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements are considered to apply. Development shall proceed in accordance with any such approved details, with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan maintained for the minimum of the 30 years which is set in the Environment Act 2021.
5.
There must be no surface alterations to a Public Right of Way without the consent of Hampshire County Council as Highway Authority via a Section 278 agreement. Planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 does not provide this and separate consent is required. To carry out any such works without this permission would constitute an offence under Section 131 of the Highways Act 1980.

PROPOSAL
Variation of condition 07 of 20/02019/FULLN (Retention of central warehouse facility supplying "members only" shops, ancillary members-only shop and storage facility for charity outreach operations) to change opening hours to 08:00-18:00 Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays; 08:00-20:00 on Thursdays and Fridays and 08:00-16:30 on Saturdays, and not at all on Sundays or Bank Holidays
AMENDMENTS
The description of the proposal was amended on 21.03.25 to reduce the proposed Saturday opening hours for the shop from 18:00 to 16:30.
CASE OFFICER
Gillian Wheeler
The Officer’s recommendation, as per the agenda was proposed by Councillor Budzynski and seconded by Councillor Z Brooks. Upon being put to the vote the motion fell. A motion for refusal was proposed by Councillor L Lashbrook and seconded by Councillor Borg-Neal. Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.
REFUSED for the reason:
1.
The proposal to extend the hours of operation across two days at the site would have the effect of increasing activity associated with a retail operation across a longer period of each of those days. The additional hours would facilitate increased activity and associated noise levels during two days which are considered to be particularly sensitive to change. Particularly in relation to the living conditions of residents of The Cottage. These periods of time comprise Friday evening and Saturday. As a consequence of both the increased activity associated with a retail use operating in this rural location, and the location of The Cottage, relative to the noisy activity the proposal would significantly and adversely affect the quiet enjoyment of the external- private space that serve that home, to the overall detriment of living conditions in that home. The proposal would be contrary to Policies LHW4 and E8 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).
