Additional Representations:

Detailed comments from the Environmental Health Officer were attached to the update circulated prior to the meeting.

Comment:

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

The officer’s recommendation was amended to require the prior approval of the requirements under conditions 7, 8, 10 and 11 before consent could be granted.

A statement from Cllr Bennison opposing the application was submitted to the meeting.

The Committee concluded that the application was not supported by sufficient information to demonstrate that this power generation plant, together with Unit B (to be considered separately under reference 16/11408) could be operated without causing noise and vibration that would constitute a nuisance to nearby residents and businesses; or causing a deterioration in air quality, in particular with respect to nitrogen dioxide and particulate concentrations in the air.  In addition to the proposals’ close proximity to residential properties, the prevailing winds would take emissions across Southampton Water and into the area where proposals were under development for the declaration of a Clean Air Zone, specifically to address nitrogen dioxide and particulate levels.  The Committee noted that technology was available to significantly reduce the emissions of nitrogen dioxide, but the applicant had not chosen to include such measures.  The Committee also noted that the Government was currently consulting on Guidance to control emissions from stand-by generation plants of this type, as the current air quality standards, which were based on longer term operations, were not adequate. 

A majority of members indicated that they wished to determine this application with a recorded vote.

On the motion that the application be refused Cllrs Armstrong L Harris, Harrison, Hoare, Holding  and Thierry voted in favour; Cllrs D Andrews, Carpenter, Davis, Olliff-Cooper, Rippon-Swaine, Sevier, Wappet, C Ward and White voted against, with Cllr Wyeth abstaining.  The motion was declared lost.

On the motion that consideration of this application be deferred to allow further negotiations and the submission of additional information Cllrs D Andrews, Armstrong, Carpenter, Davis, L Harris, Holding, Olliff-Cooper, Ripon-Swaine, Sevier, Thierry, Wappet,  C Ward, White and Wyeth voted in favour and Cllrs Harrison and Hoare voted against.  The motion was declared carried.

Decision:

That consideration of this application be deferred to allow further negotiations and the submission of additional information.
