Comment:

Cllrs
Olliff-Cooper, Penson and Thorne disclosed non-pecuniary interests
on the grounds that they knew the land owner very well. They concluded that the degree of acquaintance was
sufficient that there was a danger that they could be perceived to
be biased and, having left the meeting, took no part in the
consideration and voting.
The
Committee considered that it was essential that the buildings were
constructed to the heights specified in the plans, to avoid
overlooking of neighbouring properties and consequently imposed an
additional condition to control the ridge height of the
buildings.

Comment:
|
Cllr Penson 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 noted that there were significant
discrepancies between the extant consent for a replacement dwelling
on the site and what had been constructed. They were advised that a lawful development
application had been received in respect of the partially
constructed outbuilding on the site, and that issue was irrelevant
to the current consideration.
Members compared the differences between the extant
consent and the current application that sought to regularise the
development. They considered that the
dwelling as constructed, and proposed to be modified, was too large
and imposing on the site, the materials, particularly the cladding,
were inappropriate and out of character with the area, and the
additional floor space at first floor, together with the extent of
the windows, lead to an unacceptable level of overlooking of the
neighbouring properties, that was not mitigated by the
proposals.
|
|
|
|
|
Decision:
|
Refused.
|
|
|
|
|
Refusal
reasons:
|
The
development results in a dwelling house that is inappropriate to
the character and appearance of the area by reason of the proposed
cladding which is not characteristic of this part of
Pennington. The increased bulk of the
dwelling by reason of the first floor side enlargement would have
an overbearing impact on the occupants of Bay Tree Cottage and
would also reduce the openness of the site when viewed from the
street. Also the additional first
floor windows would result in a loss of privacy to the occupants of
Bay Tree Cottage by reason of overlooking. The proposals would therefore be contrary to
Policy CS 2 of the Core Strategy for the new Forest District
outside the National Park and the Lymington Local Distinctiveness
Document.

Comment:
|
Cllr Kendal addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
The Committee noted that the listed buildings were
considered to be at risk and it was important to retain this
historic asset within the Milford on Sea Conservation
Area. It was noted that a previous
consent, that had not been implemented, had been acceptable to the
Conservation Officer but had not proved to be acceptable to future
occupiers of the site. It was accepted
that residential use was the only viable long-term solution to
achieve the retention of the buildings.
The Committee noted the concerns being expressed by the
Conservation Officer but concluded that the degree of harm to the
heritage asset was less than substantial and was outweighed by the
public benefit of achieving the retention of the
buildings. It was also noted that
conditions to safeguard the quality of the outcome of the proposals
had been agreed, in principle, with the applicant. The Committee was satisfied that, subject to
the imposition of these conditions, the proposed development was
acceptable.

Comment:

Cllrs Crisell, Davis and Harrison 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 concerned to note the objection
raised by the Hampshire County Highways Officer in respect of the
lack of parking and loss of existing parking on site. Although the site was in a sustainable location
the lack of any opportunities to park either on-street or in a
public car park, in this area, was of concern. Members were also concerned
about the quality of life of the potential occupiers of the
properties both from noise from the adjacent Asda service yard and
associated HGV movements; and also from air quality as this site
was immediately adjacent to the recently revoked Air Quality
Management Area in Totton.
|
|
|
|
|
Decision:
|
Refused
|
|
|
|
|
Refusal
reasons:
|
1. The
proposed development does not provide any car parking within the
site and would also result in the loss of four existing car parking
spaces, together with informal car parking that currently serves
the existing residential flats at the Old Cinema, which would be
contrary to the New Forest District Council document 'Parking
Standards Supplementary Planning Document' adopted in October
2012. The lack of any on site car
parking is likely to give rise to inconsiderate and displaced
parking on the public highway network which would neither be
convenient or safe and may interrupt the free flow of traffic to
the detriment of highway safety. For
this reason, the proposal is contrary to policies CS2 and CS24 of
the Core Strategy for the New Forest District outside the National
Park.
2. As a
result of the close proximity of the proposed flats to the adjacent
retail service and delivery yard, the Local Planning Authority
considers that the occupants of the proposed flats would enjoy an
unsatisfactory and unacceptable living environment due to potential
noise and disturbance. As such, the
proposal would be contrary to Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for
New Forest District outside the National Park.
3. The
application site lies in close proximity to the railway level
crossing in Junction Road, wherestationary vehicles in the road
significantly contribute to the general poor air quality in the
area. The Local Planning Authority
considers that the proposed residential development would be an
inappropriate use within this area that is subject to poor air
quality, and as such, there would be an unacceptable risk to the
health, quality of life and wellbeing of any occupants of the
proposed flats. As such, the proposal
would be contrary to Policies CS2 and CS5 of the Core Strategy for
New Forest District outside the National Park.
