Comment:

Cllrs
Harrison and Rippon-Swaine disclosed non-pecuniary interests as
members of Hampshire County Council which was the applicant and
would be determining the application.
Members
were advised that amended plans had been received that moved the
access and altered/improved the habitat enhancement and landscaping
proposals. The County Council had also confirmed that they would
make a payment, as required for the mitigation of the impact of the
development on internationally designated sites.
The
Officer’s recommendation was amended as set out in the update
circulated prior to the meeting.
|
|
|
Decision:
|
That the County Council be
advised that:
(a)
while there is no objection in principle to the
development of this site with the type of accommodation proposed
the current scheme does not appear to be design led; it does not relate well to the context of the
site; or relate appropriately to the existing area of public open
space; or make any provision for additional public open
space;
(b)
In addition, having regard to the Habitats
Regulations, the County Council are reminded that they are the
Competent Authority in respect of ensuring that the development
provides mitigation for the impact of the development on
internationally designated sites;
(c)
Concerns are also expressed about the impact of car
headlights shining into nearby properties as a result of the use of
the access.

Cllr
Rippon-Swaine disclosed an interest on the grounds that he knew the
applicant. He concluded that the degree
of acquaintance was sufficient to create an impression of bias and
consequently took no part in the consideration and did not
vote.
The
Committee noted that an horticultural
use of this field in the green belt was acceptable in policy
terms. They concluded that, provided
the greenhouse continued to serve the nearby Sopley Mill, and
remained of a modest scale, it would not harm the green belt or
Conservation area.

Cllr
White and Penson disclosed non-pecuniary interests as members of
Lymington and Pennington Town Council which had commented on the
application. They concluded that there
were no grounds under common law to prevent them from remaining in
the meeting to speak and to vote.
Cllr
Rostand was not present for the determination of this
application.
The
Committee noted that alterations to the roof of this property had
been granted consent on appeal but had not been constructed in
accordance with the conditions imposed by the
Inspector. They considered whether the
changes were materially harmful.
Members
considered that, as built, the roof alterations were unacceptable
in a number of respects. The design of
the roof and use of dark slate, in an area where the roofing
material was very predominantly tile, was visually jarring and out
of character with the area. The
increase in size in the dormers, the additional area of glazing and
the raising of the dormers cumulatively increased the visual
intrusion and overlooking of the neighbouring properties to the
rear.
|
|
|
|
|
Decision:
|
Refused
|
|
|
|
|
Refusal reasons::
|
1.
The development, by reason of the increased number,
overall shape and form of the dormer windows combined with the
inappropriate roofing materials, in this prominent location, would
be out of character with the area and as such would be contrary to
Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for the New Forest outside of the
National Park and Chapter 7 of the National Planning Policy
Framework.
2.
The increase in the number and height of dormer
windows on the rear elevation, combined with the associated
increase in the area of glazing would result in real and perceived
overlooking to adjoining residential properties to the detriment of
their reasonable amenity. As such would be contrary to Policy CS2
of the Core Strategy for the New Forest outside of the National
Park and Chapter 7 of the National Planning Policy
Framework.

Amendment of the Council's Delegation Scheme Regarding Affordable Housing Provision on Small Scale Development Sites PDF 82 KB
To
amend the Committee’s delegated powers to allow the officers
to determine applications for developments of fewer than 10
dwellings.
Minutes:
Following a change in Government policy that
prevented this Council from collecting affordable housing
contributions on developments of fewer than 10 dwellings, the
Committee considered a change to the powers delegated to the
officers to allow them to determine applications where this was the
sole issue that would require the application to be referred to the
Committee for determination.
RESOLVED:
That the
Scheme of Delegation of Powers to Officers be amended to allow
decisions to be made that do not accord with the provisions of the
Development Plan solely with respect to the requirement for the
provision of affordable housing where the development is of 10
units or less and which have a maximum combined gross floorspace of
no more than 1,000 sqm under Policy
CS15 of the Core Strategy.
