Item 3b: 24/10837 Land adjacent to the Wheelwrights Post, Salisbury Road, Burgate, Fordingbridge, SP6 1LX (Application 24/10837)
9. REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED
Further letter received from Pennyfarthing Homes (PFH) which makes the following points:
Concern expressed regarding impact on their land of providing a link between the application site and the new link road. This link will increase their development costs and will also add to the burden of future maintenance costs. In addition, the link may impact on a newly provided badger sett and have other ecological implications. Legal right of access/easement also required across their land. Connectivity to the link road and bus stops needs to be made in a different way as they consider the link as shown will not be deliverable.
Further letter received from the applicant’s agent in response to the PFH letter as follows:
· The application before you is acceptable as it is shown, and it has support from Hampshire County Highway Authority (HCC) on that basis. HCC are aware that the delivery of the footpath is contingent on land outside the applicants control and is therefore not within the applicant’s power to deliver. As such, it is clear that HCC’s support of the scheme is not reliant upon the delivery of the footpath.
· Pennyfarthing Homes have no objection in principle to the proposals.
· The gate has been provided at the request of officers and provides the potential for future additional connectivity options should that be deliverable.
· As such, the provision of a gate ensures any future opportunity isn’t lost at this stage. But it is important to note that the delivery of any footpath on another site outside of the applicant’s control isn’t for this application to consider.
· The gate on our site and footpath off site are not essential to make the development acceptable, and approvable.
· We note the point regarding the location of the gate on the boundary and will amend the location of the gate so that is (sic) sits just within the site boundary.
