Reason - To ensure adequate on-site cycle parking provision for the approved

development in accordance with Policies CS2 and CS24 of the Local Plan for the New Forest outside of the National Park (Core Strategy).

In addition, the following conditions were reworded to ensure that the landscaped belt was adequately protected:

5. Before development commences a scheme of landscaping of the site shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This scheme shall include:

b)     a specification for new planting (species, size, spacing and location);

c)     areas for hard surfacing and the materials to be used;

d)     other means of enclosure;

e)     a method and programme for its implementation and the means to provide for its future maintenance.

No development shall take place unless these details have been approved and all planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the occupation of the buildings or the completion of the development whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of 10 years from the completion of the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size or species, unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation.

Reason:  To ensure that the development takes place in an appropriate way and to prevent inappropriate car parking to comply with Policy CS2 of the Local Plan for the New Forest District outside the National Park (Core Strategy).

Comment:

Cllr C Ward disclosed a non pecuniary interest as a Hampshire County Council appointee to the Partnership Board for the Children’s Centre that currently operated on this site.  As she had also been involved in previous discussions about the future of the Eaglewood School she concluded that there was a danger that she could be perceived to be subject to bias and pre-determination.  She consequently took no part in the debate and did not vote.

The Committee considered that, while the Highways Engineer raised no objection to the proposal, there were grounds for concern about the potential for traffic to this site to cause unacceptable congestion in Culver Road, which it was accepted was narrow.  An essential element in preventing displaced congestion from the site would be to ensure that the access was widened before any other development took place.

Decision:

Temporary Planning consent

Conditions:

As per report (Item 3(h)) with Condition 5 reworded as follows:

5.  Before use of the development is commenced the access shall be widened and provision for turning to enable vehicles to enter and leave in a forward gear shall have been provided within the site in accordance with the approved plans and shall be retained thereafter.

Reason:  In the interest of highway safety, in accordance with Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy of the New Forest District Local Plan First Alteration.

Details:

Single-storey rear extension; raised decking; fenestration alterations and handrail to side elevation; access alterations to No 29; two bungalows; access; parking

Additional Representations:
