Comment:

Cllr Frampton disclosed a non-pecuniary interest as a member of Bransgore Parish Council which had commented on the application.  He concluded that there were no grounds under common law to prevent him from remaining in the meeting to speak and to vote.

The Committee considered that, even though the proposal had a relatively low profile it was nonetheless a substantial building, close to the site boundary and would consequently be visually intrusive when viewed from the neighbouring property.  In addition, the Committee noted that the consent was for a livestock building that could be used more intensively than currently proposed.  Insufficient information had been provided to demonstrate that the drainage arrangements from the building could adequately control effluent and surface water run-off from such a use.  The Committee concluded that run-off, noise, smells and flies from an intensive livestock enterprise could adversely affect the neighbouring property to an unacceptable degree.

Decision:

Refused.

Refusal reasons:

The proposal animal shelter, due to its overall size and its position close to the boundary of the site, would be visually intrusive in its countryside setting and there would be potential for unneighbourly noise and odour particularly due to the potential for an alternative more intensive agricultural use of the shelter.  Furthermore, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that there would be acceptable arrangements in place to deal with future drainage and effluent run off.  Overall there would, as a result, be an unacceptable impact on the reasonable amenity of the adjoining neighbouring property contrary to Policy CS2 and DM22 of the Local Plan for the New Forest outside of the National Park (Core Strategy and Part 2: Sites and Development Management).

The Committee concluded that this was a one-off development opportunity that would provide a smaller dwelling that would be a welcome addition of the mix of housing stock.  The plot was modest in size but could provide adequate living conditions and parking arrangements.  The planned improvement to the road access serving this plot, 3 other dwellings and the builder’s yard to the rear also weighed in favour of granting consent, as did the expected improvement to the overall character and appearance of the area.   The Committee did not consider that this application would generate opportunities for further backland development in this area that would erode its character and pattern of development.

Decision:

Executive Head Economy, Housing and Planning authorised to grant planning consent.
