DECISIONS UNDER DELEGATED POWERS

6. PLANNING APPLICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS INCLUDING

AN UPDATE ON PLANNING APPEALS

The Committee noted a report by the Director of Planning and Environment on development control applications and miscellaneous matters, including the current situation regarding planning appeals (copy of report pc-111012-r04-lsm circulated with agenda and appended to signed minutes together with the revised Update Report tabled at the meeting).

(The Chairman advised the Committee that the following planning applications (Item 1 and 2) relating to the site at 48A Common Lane, Titchfield would be considered together).


pc-111012-m.doc

Item (1) P/09/0581/VC - 48A Common Lane, Titchfield The Committee received the deputations referred to in minute 5 above. The Committee was referred to the Update Report which provided the following information:- Two letters have been received updating previous comments given in objection to the application; - The condition was put in place for justified and important reason and requires the site to be restored to countryside when the site ceases to be used by Mr and Mrs Bunting. - The business is no longer operating in the manufacture of wood products and therefore a variation of a condition relating to this permission should be refused. One letter has been received updating previous comments given in support of the application: - Remaining in business at Common Lane is essential at this time or recession taking into account employment of several men. At the invitation of the Chairman, Councillor Mrs Hockley addressed the Committee on this application. Upon being proposed and seconded, the officer recommendation to grant planning permission subject to the conditions in the report was CARRIED. (Voting: 9 for; 0 against). RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the existing conditions but with a variation to condition 1 to allow the use to be carried out by Mr and Mrs H G Bunting and Messrs J and S Bunting. Reasons for the Decision - The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. The variation of the personal condition to allow the use to be carried out also by Messrs J & S Bunting is not considered to have any unacceptable planning implications which are not already sufficiently controlled by way of other planning conditions. There are no other material considerations judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters. The scheme is therefore judged to be in accordance with section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be granted. Policies Adopted Fareham Borough Core Strategy Policies: CS5 - Transport Strategy and Infrastructure, CS14 - Development Outside Settlements, CS17 - High Quality Design and CS22 - Strategic Gap. Item (2) - P/09/0639/FP - 48A Common Lane, Titchfield The Committee received the deputations referred to in minute 5 above. The Committee was referred to the Update Report which provided the following information:- Two letters have been received updating previous comments given in objection to the application: - There is an enforcement notice in place - the site office should be removed - The office is not ancillary to wood manufacturing - There is a clear intention to use the office for operating a fencing contractor's business. The business website gives 48A Common Lane as the business address and post still arrives there. There will be an increase in activity on the site. This will lead to further non-compliance of planning conditions relating to P/99/0658/CU - The office is in the countryside and


pc-111012-m.doc

strategic gap - moving it back further is contrary to policy - The office causes nuisance and noise and is detrimental to the amenities of nearby residents . Visual impact of portacabin. The planning agent has submitted the following short statement regarding the current and proposed use of the portacabin:- The site office is required by Mr & Mrs Bunting to enable the use of the land for the manufacture of timber products to continue on the site. The previous planning permission for this use included the provision of ancillary office space. The building will be used for office and administrative purposes which are ancillary to the manufacturing use including dealing with correspondence, processing orders and business transactions, telephone calls, file handling and storage, computer and other office equipment occasional meetings with suppliers, supervision and management of the manufacturing business. The existing building would be relocated to the proposed position on the site. The existing building is not and will not in the future be used for the purposes of the fence contracting business. The current use of the Common Lane site is very limited as the business is currently focused on establishing the fence contracting arm of the business on a new site at Cherry Tree Farm in that part of Burridge falling within the district of Winchester. The office activities associated with the fencing contracting arm of the business are carried out at the new premises. The workshop and all of its equipment have been retained on the Common Lane site and the manufacturing activity will resume in due course once the business has established the fence contracting use on the new site. The operators have relocated the contracting business from the site and so the requirement to cease the use of the land as a fencing contractor's yard has been complied with. It has been noted that the advertising for the business still refers to the Common Lane site. The business is still in a period of transition and this will be addressed as part of the exercise to establish the fence contracting arm of the business on the new site. A further planning statement was received from the agent on 11 October 2011 regarding the current and future use of the office building:-

1 This additional statement sets out the position in relation to the use of the office building following the cessation of the use of the land as a fencing contractors yard as required by the Enforcement Notice issued by the Council on 4 May 2010. 2 The site office is required by Mr & Mrs Bunting to enable the use of the land for the manufacture of timber products to continue on the site. The previous planning permission for this use included the provision of ancillary office space. The building will be used for office and administrative purposes which are ancillary to the manufacturing use including dealing with correspondence, processing orders and business transactions, telephone calls, file handling and storage, computer and other office equipment occasional meetings with suppliers, supervision and management of the manufacturing business. 3 The existing building would be relocated to the proposed position on the site. The existing building is not and will not in the future be used for the purposes of the fence contracting business. 4 The current use of the Common Lane site is very limited as the business is currently focused on establishing the fence contracting arm of the business on a


pc-111012-m.doc

new site at Cherry Tree Farm in that part of Burridge falling within the district of Winchester. The office activities associated with the fencing contracting arm of the business are carried out at the new premises. The workshop and all of its equipment have been retained on the Common Lane site and the manufacturing activity will resume in due course once the business has established the fence contracting use on the new site. 5 The operators have relocated the contracting business from the site and so the requirement to cease the use of the land as a fencing contractors yard has been complied with. 6 It has been noted that the advertising for the business still refers to the Common Lane site. The business is still in a period of transition and this will be addressed as part of the exercise to establish the fence contracting arm of the business on the new site. At the invitation of the Chairman, Councillor Mrs Hockley addressed the Committee on this application. Upon being proposed and seconded, the officer recommendation to grant planning permission subject to the conditions in the report was CARRIED. (Voting: 9 for; 0 against). RESOLVED that planning PERMISSION be granted subject to the conditions in the report. Reasons for the Decision - The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below.. Subject to the repositioning and lowering of the office building as proposed, the proposed retention of the office building in conjunction with the lawful use of the site for the manufacture of wood products would not harm the amenities of nearby residents. The building's visual appearance would not harm the character of the countryside or strategic gap. Other material considerations are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters. The scheme is therefore judged to be in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be granted. Policies Adopted Fareham Borough Core Strategy Policies: CS5 - Transport Strategy and Infrastructure, CS14 - Development Outside Settlements, CS17 - High Quality Design and CS22 - Strategic Gap. (The Chairman advised the Committee that the following planning applications (Items 3 and 4) relating to the site at Hinton Hotel and The Limes, Catisfield Lane, Fareham would be considered together).

At the invitation of the Chairman, Councillor Mrs Hockley addressed the Committee on this application. Upon being proposed and seconded the officer recommendation to refuse planning consent was CARRIED. (Voting: 9 for; 0 against). RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED. Reasons for the Decision - The development is not acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. It is considered that the proposals would impact upon nature conservation, provide inadequate affordable housing and highway mitigation measures, lack of information to support loss of public house; lack of off-site open space contribution; inadequate parking; lack of transport contribution; harmful impact of nursing home building upon conservation areas and setting of listed buildings; unacceptable design layout - overdevelopment, cramped, limited garden sizes, dominance of car parking, relationship of car parking with dwellings, poor quality of environment for future occupiers, harmful development in the countryside and Meon Valley Strategic Gap. There are no other material consideration judged to have sufficient weight to outweigh the impact of the proposed use and justify permitting the application. The scheme is therefore judged to be contrary to Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be refused.
