Comment:

The Committee was advised of revised wording for proposed condition 7 as set out in the update circulated prior to the meeting. They were further advised that the car parking requirement for the gym use had been recalculated and was 50 spaces, not 68 as set out in the report; that the height to the ridge of the building was 15 metres instead of the 14.5 metres stated in the report; and also that paragraph 9.5, last sentence, should refer to the need for additional landscaping instead of parking.

Decision:

Permission

Conditions:

7. The remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with the terms set out in the approved ACS report dated the 8^th February 2018. The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification following commencement of the approved remediation scheme. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report demonstrating completion of the works set out in the approved remediation strategy and the effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report shall include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved verification plan to demonstrate that the site remediation criteria have been met. It shall also include any plan (a long term monitoring and maintenance plan) for longer term monitoring of pollutant linkages maintenance and arrangements for contingency action as identified in the verification plan and for the reporting of this to the local planning authority. The long term monitoring and maintenance plan shall be implemented as approved. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, the verification report must be completed and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority either: prior to the commencement of development, other than that required to carry out remediation, or if the development is required to carry out the remediation, it must be carried out prior to the occupation of any buildings or use of the land as the proposed end use.

Decision:

Refused

Refusal Reasons:

As per report (Item 3(b)).

First-floor side extension; single-storey rear extension; dormers; solar panels; rear raised terrace

Comment:

In addition to the reason for refusal set out in the report, the Committee considered that the proposed side extension would be an overdevelopment of the site, causing the loss of the visual gap between buildings and having a detrimental effect on the character of the area.

Decision:

Refused

Refusal Reasons:

As per report (Item 3(c)) with additional reason for refusal:

2  The proposed side extension due to its scale and bulk is considered to be an overdevelopment of the site and would result in the loss of the spatial gap between the properties which is a characteristic of the area.  As such, it would appear as an incongruous feature within the streetscene harmful to the prevailing character of the area and therefore, contrary to Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for the New Forest District outside the National Park
