PLANNING COMMITTEE – 11th March 2026

COMMITTEE UPDATES

 

Item 3a 25/10422 Land South of Salisbury Road.

Additional representations received.

One letter objecting to the impact on highway congestion and the additional pressure on local services and infrastructure.

One letter supporting the additional housing, but subject to securing contributions towards services and infrastructure.

 

Item 3c 25/10649 Shorefield Country Park , Shorefield Road, Milford on Sea

Further to a request for clarification of the Habitat Mitigation requirements, the Council’s legal team has confirmed that there is no requirement for such contributions to be made.  This is due to the relocated pitches (lawful under 25/10025) not constituting development and the touring pitches being part of a permission implemented in the 1960s.  As such, the recommendation should be amended to Grant subject to conditions.

Correspondence has also been received between the agent and Parish Council who were requesting clarification of the status of the touring pitches.  Subsequent to this clarification, the agent has sent a letter to all Members (dated March 9th) with a further update which has come to light, advising that the touring pitches were originally implemented and removed from the site in the 1980s.  This does not impact the recommendation.

 

Item 3h 25/10969 57 & 59 Ashley Road

The applicant has completed their legal agreement dated 20 February 2026.
