their retail assessment concluded that the value of trade attracted
by the new store would be of the order of £10 - 15 million

Comment:
|
The
Committee noted that this was a very open, rural
landscape. The installation of concrete
bases for the field shelters would consequently be harmful to the
appearance of the area and a condition should therefore be imposed
to prevent this happening. In addition,
the Committee concluded that a 5 year temporary consent only should
be granted to allow the site to be monitored.

|
|
Decision:
|
Service
Manager Planning and Building Control authorised to grant planning
consent for a limited period of 5 years.
|
|
|
Conditions/
Agreements/
Negotiations:
|
As per
report (Item 3(c)) with the following additional
conditions:
The buildings shall be
removed from the site within 5 years of the date of this consent
and the land restored to a condition which has first been agreed by
the Local Planning Authority, unless the prior written approval to
retain the structures has been obtained from the Local Planning
Authority.
Reason: In the interests
of protecting the character and appearance of the countryside in
accordance with Policy CS2 of the Local Plan for the New Forest District outside the National Park
(Core Strategy).
No structure hereby approved shall
be sited on a permanent hardstanding or footing.
Reason: In order to minimise the degree of permanence of
the development, in light of the temporary approval and in the
interests of safeguarding the character of the countryside, in
accordance with Policy CS2 of the Local Plan for the New Forest District outside the National Park
(Core Strategy).

Cllrs
Penson and Rostand disclosed non-pecuniary interests as members of
Lymington and Pennington Town Council which had commented on the
application. Cllr Rostand disclosed a
further interest on the grounds that she knew the neighbouring
objector well. She concluded that the
degree of acquaintance was sufficient to create the impression of
bias and consequently took no part in the consideration and did not
vote. Cllr Penson concluded that there
were no grounds under common law to prevent him from remaining in
the meeting to speak and to vote.
Paragraph 12.1, line 6 was amended to refer to the rear of No
