Comment:

Cllr
Beck disclosed a non-pecuniary interest as a member of New Milton
Town Council which had commented on the application. He concluded that there were no grounds under
common law to prevent him from remaining in the meeting to speak.
He did not have a vote.
Cllr
Beck addressed the Committee to oppose the application.
The
Committee considered that the proposed cycle and bin stores would
have a detrimental effect on the amenities of the occupiers of the
surrounding flats, and of the area in general, through their
appearance and their position within the limited open green space
on the site. The loss of part of the
hedgerow along the road frontage would further exacerbate this
harm.
|
|
|
Decision:
|
Refused
|
|
|
Refusal reasons:
|
The proposed bin and
cycle store and associated works would be of an obtrusive
appearance and result in overdevelopment of this part of what is
generally a restricted site. The
enclosures would also adversely affect the residential and visual
amenities of occupants of flats within The Dome and the
neighbouring flats at Shoreacre by
reason of loss of outlook and their stark appearance in close
proximity to these properties. The loss
of a section of the hedge to provide access to the new facilities
would further exacerbate this harm. As a result the development
would fail to comply with policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for the
New Forest District outside the National Park.

Cllr
White disclosed a non-pecuniary interest as a member of Lymington
and Pennington Town Council which had commented on the
application. He concluded that there
were no grounds under common law to prevent him from remaining in
the meeting to speak and to vote.
The
Committee was advised of an amendment to the report, as set out in
the update circulated prior to the meeting.
The
Committee considered that, although the proposed sign was small, it
would be inappropriate to use non-traditional materials, such as
the vinyl lettering proposed, on a Grade II Listed Building in the
Lymington Conservation Area.
|
|
|
Decision:
|
Advertisement consent refused.
|
|
|
Refusal reasons:
|
It is considered that the
proposed sign by virtue of the application thereon of vinyl letters
rather than as a traditional hand painted sign would be detrimental
to the character and appearance of this part of the Lymington
Conservation Area. The proposal is
considered to be contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS2 and CS3,
Local Plan Part 2 policy DM1 and the advice set out in the National
Planning Policy Framework 2018.

Comment:

Cllrs
Crisell, Davis and L Harris disclosed non-pecuniary interests as
members of Totton and Eling 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.
The
Committee was advised on amendments to the report, in part as a
consequence of the submission of amended plans, including a slight
change to the recommendation, as set out in the update circulated
prior to the meeting.
Some
members expressed concern that they were being asked to determine
the application based on significantly amended plans that had only
just been received and brought to their attention. They were advised however that all the key issues
addressed in the amended plans were considered, in detail, in the
report as originally circulated. Should
any of the neighbours or consultees raise any additional material
considerations in response to the consultation on the amended plans
then the application would be brought back to the Committee for
further consideration. The amended
plans addressed many of the concerns that had been received in
response to the original plans and the Committee had the key
information before them on these issues and could therefore form a
view.
Members
requested that this matter be determined by a recorded
vote. In respect of the motion
that the Service Manager Planning and Building Control be
authorised to grant consent, as set in the update circulated prior
to the meeting, Members voted as follows:
In
favour of the motion - Cllrs Armstrong, Bennison, Olliff-Cooper,
Sevier, C Ward and White.
Opposed
to the motion – Cllrs Carpenter, Frampton, L Harris, Holding,
Hopkins and White
Abstentions: Cllrs Crisell, Davis
and Thorne
With 6
members voting in favour of the motion and 6 against, the Chairman
used his casting vote in support of the motion.
