- Enforcements

To be noted

- Appeals – 5 Down’s Road South Wonston

The appeal was made by the householder against Winchester City Council’s refusal by notice of the above. The development proposed was a loft conversion and internal alterations including a garage conversion to living accommodation and was an amended application. The main issue for the Inspector was the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area. The site is within an established residential area with bungalows set back from the road behind front gardens and driveways. Although of different designs, the properties generally share similar roof forms and rooflines. A number of bungalows have had roof alterations and extensions.No. 5 sits prominently near the corner of Markson Rd. It is an L-shaped bungalow, with a gable roof, the ridge running parallel to Downs Rd. The proposed loft conversion had two main elements; part of the existing roof plane was to be replaced with a much taller construction, a gable to the rear and a steeper slope to the front, both of which would be joined by a large section of flat roof and a dormer window with a flat roof would be formed on the east side of the property. A number of rooflights and domed lanterns would complete the development.The proposal would only keep a limited element of the original roof form. Because of its top-

P a g e | 2510

heavy appearance, the extension would dominate the property itself and destroy the simple nature of the existing roof form and would introduce a bulky and incongruous form of development visible from Downs Rd and Markson Rd.While set back from the host dwelling, the proposed dormer would span across half the depth of the east elevation. The top would be just below the ridge and up from the eaves of the main property. The domed lanterns would serve only to attract the eye to the inappropriate development, increasing the harm. Because of the dormer’s size and box design, the dormer would appear unduly large and bulky to the roof of the host building. It would have been out of keeping with local character and fail to meet the design criteria of Supplementary Planning Document High Quality Places 2015.The householder argued several examples of loft conversions in the neighbourhood, but Winchester City Council wasn’t disputing the principle of loft conversion, but there was found to be no equivalent to the proposal in the area. The Council didn’t object to the garage conversion. These considerations, however, didn’t outweigh the visual harm identified above.In scale and design, the proposal was deemed harmful to the character and appearance of the locality and host dwelling and contrary to LPP1 CP13, LPP2 DM 15 and 16, and section 12 National Planning Policy Framework. The Inspector concluded that the appeal should be dismissed on 24-10-2018.

9.0 Summary Presentations covered national policy, affordable homes, changing policy, Housing Associations and Community Led Housing.

9.1 There were six speakers: Jo Lavis, Rural Affordable Housing Specialist, Andrew Potter, Chief Executive, Hastoe Group,

Lois Lane, Policy Advisor, CPRE, Beverley Harding-Rennie, HARAH, Karen Hillhouse, Hampshire Village Homes and Catherine Kirkham, Action Hampshire.

Jo Lavis referred to the positive and negative aspects of the revised National Planning Policy Framework for the provision of affordable housing; the negative aspects included no contributions from developments of less than ten units and the five-year land supply giving landowners increased expectations of high prices if their land was allocated. She also cited the Housing Green Paper which indicates that the Community Housing Fund will only be available until 2019. HARAH’s study “Exploring blockages to delivery of rural affordable housing…2018” details the causes of non-delivery (market-led developments, high price expectations, lack of planning input at early stages, weak project management, lack of registration and community support). HARAH’s Action Plan (strengthen a site-led approach, review Rural Housing Enabler site appraisal, agree a timescale for sites going to planning, closer working between Local Planning Authority and Housing Enablers, a template for project management, and community support) was also flagged up.

Andrew Potter stated it was all about motivation and land values. Motivation referred to landowners being philanthropic and foregoing high land prices, as did the Herriard Estate near Basingstoke. Rural exception sites can only have affordable housing, reducing land value to £12,000 per plot. After that the cost of building and borrowing has to be balanced against future rent, which won’t be high. The subject of current debate is “Who pays for the deficit?”

Lois Lane confirmed that a two-bed affordable rented house was £1, 793 more expensive per year in Hampshire than social rent. 19,863 households were on the housing waiting list in Hampshire in 2017.Fifty social rent homes were built. The land market underpinned a lot of the current problem. The uplift on the value of land with planning permission equals thirteen billion, a situation which needs reforming. Also due for reform was the 1961 Land Compensation Act, which would reduce the overheated market and make land cheaper for local authorities to buy.

P a g e | 2512

Beverley Harding-Rennie and Karen Hillhouse shared their slot. The “partnership model” was described: the Parish Council identifies need from a housing need survey (generally electronic, the format discussed with HARAH), there is a detailed report, a call for sites, a suitable site is identified and is appraised by a Rural Housing Enabler after a tour, the site goes for approval by the planning department, the Parish Council receives a report and information about the next steps and HARAH/ Hampshire Village Homes take the project forward. The objective is to win support from the Parish Council and the Community.

Catherine Kirkham spoke about communities delivering their own housing solutions, assisted by the Hampshire Community Housing Partnership. An example given was the Wickham Community Land Trust, which, in order to meet local affordable housing needs, created a new development of thirty-two self-contained houses and apartments for mixed income, inter-generational households on a twelve-hectare site. Reference was also made to housing cooperatives, self- help schemes and self- build schemes.

POINTS ARISING FROM Q AND A’SThe Government is looking at how Local Authorities define “local”.Exception sites have only delivered 27% of the affordable housing required.Loss of homes due to “Right to Buy” must be compensated for by building new houses as a matter of policy.The definition of “in perpetuity” in law is eighty years, but because Housing Associations own the freehold, a scheme can be kept in perpetuity.

To be noted

DRAFT MINUTES OF THE EXTRA-ORDINARY PARISH COUNCIL MEETING 2ND NOVEMBER 2018

Present: Cllr’s Peal, Perrins, Dodson, Street, City Cllr Godfrey, City Cllr Cunningham and Clerk

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCECounty Councillor Warwick, City Councillor Horrick, Cllr Graham, McCurrach, & Selby

The meeting was held to receive feedback from the Open Consultation event by HARAH. In advance of the meeting all chairs had a Briefing Note from Action Hampshire left on them which is attached at the back of this document. This was posted on the website following the meeting.

The Chairman opened the meeting, explained the reasons for it and then handed it over to hear from the four speakers’ from South Wonston.

First SpeakerA resident from South Wonston produced a number of case laws over the last 3 years that have gone against Affordable Housing. The examples were:

2015 in the High Court of Justice Queen’s bench division Planning Court

P a g e | 2513

before the honourable Mrs Justice Lang DBE. Old Hunstanton Parish Council and Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government HASTOE Housing Association Ltd & Kings Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council.

2016 Case Number C1/2015/2532 in the court of appeal (civil division), on appeal from the High Court Queen’s bench division before Lord Justice laws, Lord Justice Tomlinson, Lord Justice Lewison. Old Hunstanton Parish Council versus Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

2017 Case Number C1/2016/4698 in the Court of Appeal (Cvivl Division), on Appeal from the High Court of Justice Cardiff District Registry before the Lord Justice McFarlane. This case establishes that Rural Exception Rules are to be interpreted in the narrow sense. Mrs Justice Lang had already ruled that ‘local’ was to be interpreted in the narrow sence.

HASTOE lost the case as a scheme must demonstrate village support and need for housing. The speaker referred to LPP1, MTRA3 (in absence of need). What is the village support? Currently there is the 70% rental element of the development of King’s Barton, 3 miles away.

It is felt that the Parish Council should have a better understanding of the planning law and that it should notify HASTOE and HARAH that there is no village support for such scheme.

Cllr Peal responded by saying that currently the Parish Council does not know if there is enough community support and that this needs to be demonstrated. Currently the scheme has not reached the planning application stage which is when this will need to be done. The proposal is only for this piece of land and that is to be for 16 affordable houses and 4 market homes.

Second SpeakerThe second resident of South Wonston stated that there was two myths in circulation:-

Myth 1 -the evidence from the village survey held in 2017 along with the HASTOE, HARAH and WCC survey which went as an attachment. Did this demonstrate village support if only 38% (246) answered yes on the survey? More residents wanted to see a better bus service (540), Safe Cycle (493) and a pedestrian crossing (422)

Myth 2 – Why was the Persimmon Field chosen? Only 17 people suggested the Persimmon field out of 630. The site is not near the cycle or bus service. How did this become the preferred site for affordable housing?

Comments from the Open Consultation statistics shows that only 7 people out of 288 were in favour and the Questionnaire/ Survey in September was not clear and didn’t explain that the housing would be outside of the settlement boundary.

Cllr Peal thanked the speaker and said the Parish Council would review the

P a g e | 2514

statistics.

Third SpeakerThe resident opened by pointing out that the Goldfinch Way Action Group is made up of non-residents of Goldfinch as well. They then congratulated the Parish Council on the amazing pavilion that they have had built and also recognises that they are a group of volunteers.

The focus was the HARAH and the open consultation response in September, to which the Parish Council were sent a detailed response from the Goldfinch Way Action Group.

Who is Hampshire Alliance for Rural Affordable Housing (HARAH) and what do they do? It is felt that they manipulated the report issued to swing in their favour the need for affordable housing. They had a paragraph that said a two bedroom house in South Wonston costs £450,000 but recently a sold house in the village went for £200,000. This statement was disappointing and this raises 2 questions:-

Did no one from the Parish Council read the document and question its validity? Did no one find out which property this was?

Does the Parish Council recognise that when literature is sent out to parishioners that this now seems as if the Parish Council fully supports HARAH or has written the material itself?

The Parish Council did reply to the action group to say “HARAH could be regarded as misleading in that they have a case in which they firmly believe and will shape their belief towards the end. This isn’t uncommon. A critical approach in the forensic sense is required.

HARAH is due to hold an Affordable Housing Conference in Littleton and the marketing says:-

Vital Services in rural areas (post office, schools and pubs). Want to protect integrity and beauty of our countryside Just a few suitable designed homes in the right location can make a real

difference to the sustainability of rural communities.

Is this true for South Wonston?

The HARAH report and its conclusion shows that after 17 pages of negative comments their conclusion is that the Parish Council should support them and the process to the planning stage.

Fourth SpeakerThe focus for the fourth speaker was on the current amenities in the village which are:-

A village school which is able to cater for all the children in the village, however 80 new homes have recently been built in Worthy Down and not fully occupied as yet;

The nursery school that currently has 30 spaces has a waiting list; Honeybees After School Club with a waiting list. It has been mentioned

P a g e | 2515

that this could be overcome by the village hall or the pavilion by there is inconsistent availability during the year;

There is one village shop / post office, but this has its limitations and residents need to go to a supermarket as well. This is a challenge if you need to rely on the bus or the cost of home delivery;

The phone / broadband service has improved but at the bottom end of the village there is often little service.

Not enough doctor surgery appointments in the village; There is little weekend service of the buses and traffic has increased in

the village due to school buses being stopped.

It is believed that the village does not have the amenities to support another 20 houses, including recent development at Worthy Down, Cloudbank, La Frenaye and Sutton Scotney

City Councillor Godfrey then spoke about how WCC need to build 5100 houses across the district. They need to look at what can built and where and identify sites. Kings Barton will help deliver that demand, but rural exception sites will also be looked at. If there are enough people who live/ have lived / have families that live in the village then there is a village need. Cllr Godfrey was part of the allocation process with the recent completed scheme in Sutton Scotney. It is up to the community to decide if they want to keep their elders and children close. Currently the Parish Council is doing what they have been asked as part of the village survey and to date has completed a number of the items on the list. The village survey said that 240 people wanted to affordable housing. Should this be ignored?

The meeting was then opened up to the rest of the attendees and the following questions and statement asked were:-

What was the percentage of the La Frenaye scheme of local people? Do we want houses built on a rural exception site? If the people are already living in the village, how will this affect the

village amenities? The need for housing was only 5th on the village survey outcomes. Were some of the options suggested in the village survey ‘silly’? When will the Planning Application go in? Currently Kings Barton is struggling to sell the houses and is barely

building. What will the Parish Council do now? It has been impossible to get an answer from WCC about the current

number on the housing register. What is the definition of need? What is the description of affordable? Has this been HARAH lead? Is silence representative of village need? Felt that Affordable Housing would be better suited outside of the

village. Why would we want to ascetically ruin the look of the village? Some would like to see another leaflet delivered to all residents and

meeting held to demonstrate community support of the scheme.

P a g e | 2516

The Chairman thanked all the speakers and attendees and closed the meeting at 8pm.

To be noted & RESOLVED at the parish Council meeting in December.

9. RECREATION GROUND

- To consider general repairs & annual maintenance.

Paths & Grass – Cllr Selby has met with Grass & Grounds to review the original works suggested to stop the path flooding in the rain. Currently Council is awaiting a new quote for a different option.

Clerk has spoken to a Grid Force matting company to check how they lay their grass. They use either seeding or turfs. As the area withstood the use of a number of vehicles at the Fireworks event it is suggested that the invoice should now be paid. There are still a couple of bald patches but these will rectified next spring.

To be noted

Recreation Ground – Grass and Grounds have completed the autumn treatment to try and eradicate the chafer grub. A follow up treatment is arranged for next March / April.

The autumn programme of hedge and tree cutting has been carried out.

To be noted

1. Bonfire / Fireworks – The event went well and Clerk ensured prior to the event that the building was correctly secured, changing rooms open and that it all looked as previously agreed. An email was received from Kathy Ellis the next day explaining the tidy up. The caretaker said that there was nothing for him to clean or tidy up.

2.3. An email has been received from Kathy Ellis and Tim Nealon following the

event on Saturday 3rd November.

As you know, the event went very well with about 2,300 people attending, which is an increase on last year.  The revenue may be higher this year, but we lost all our £2500 sponsorship funding as we were not able to agree the site rental before the corporate sponsorship request deadline.  This is normally late in the year, in the months of October/November.

To prevent this happening again, and to enable us to start planning for next year, we would like the Parish Council to approve the event as soon as

P a g e | 2517

possible for 2/11/19 at the same rental cost as this year.    This will also give us the chance to source a better display provider as we were not happy with the quality provided by this year's supplier.

Despite these hiccups, we are delighted to have raised nearly £1000 for the school, as well as donations to Prostate Cancer Research and to Swifts, as a contribution to their grass issue.   Bringing in a variety of clubs and groups from around the village really helped create to a real and very positive whole community event with everyone working together.   We hope the Parish Council values this as much as we do, and sensed the great atmosphere on Saturday night!

Should you have any further questions, do please let me know.   We look forward to hearing the Council's decision in the near future.

10. NEW PAVILION- NOTES OF AN INFORMAL MEETING OF THE PAVILION COMMITTEE 23-10-18Apologies for Absence: None.Present: Cllrs Perrins (Chairman), Peal and Dodson, and Tim Gardner (Swifts).Pavilion Management: Inspection. Clerk has spoken to the Parkinson’s group about marks on the wall in the Parish Room. They have taken heed. The large store door catch has not yet been fixed. An accident had resulted in bloodstains in the disabled toilet. A toilet brush was missing from the Gents. Clerk’s office carpet had acquired a few bits of debris during the day from her visitors. The toilet roll holder had been put back in the outside toilet and the handwash facility looked much cleaner. The floor could do with a bit more attention. The leak of blue solar panel fluid in the plant room has not yet been attended to. The difference in colour in the floor under the changing room benches and the open area was noted. The floor is much cleaner where boots don’t regularly tread. The combination lock was missing from the garage but it was suggested that someone from Swifts had accidentally taken it home. Tim Gardner (TG) would follow this up. Some tile damage and slippage was observed; spares would be sought from Alan Cornell. Gutter cleaning will be organised soon.Actions arising: Clerk: plant room leak, tile repairs, replace toilet brush and toilet rolls, and contact Andy Cladd about the gutters. Handyman/caretaker: repair store door catch.TG: retrieve combination lock if possible.Cleaning Schedule : It was decided to buy a Karcher floor cleaner for inside use. Clerk will bring her cleaner for outside use to demonstrate on the outside toilet and changing room floors at the next meeting.Actions arising: Clerk to order cleaner.Hallmaster: Clerk intends to put October invoices on the system. Hallmaster should be fully functional by the end of November.Pavilion Maintenance: Damage Report and Action List. The blue liquid spill needs seeing to, also the slates and the store closing mechanism. Andy Cladd

P a g e | 2518

will be contacted about gutter cleaning.Finance: Figures were to hand to the end of October, with budget items for the whole year and how much has been spent so far. No commitments were available. At the half way mark, things should come in where they are expected (£10,839 budgeted, £5,518 actual spend). Clerk will supply the hire figures later. No “big ticket” items have been received yet, only Hallmaster and because the Pavilion is new, there have been no major bills. Clerk remarked that it would be good to have all the figures by 12th November as Council will need to look at the budget for 2019-2020.Members discussed having a contract with Community Fit. It should be decided who is responsible for what, so Clerk agreed to check the Parish Council’s insurance. For instance, if the garage is left open and Community Fit’s kit is stolen, or kit belonging to Swifts, who pays?The value of the Corrigenda contract was also discussed. Clerk noted that she now had a better grasp of what items need servicing and which firms could be called on for jobs. Improvements to the systems had also been revealed. Unsatisfactory service providers for items outside the Corrigenda contract could be served the right notice of termination and the item moved to Corrigenda – especially with regard to the emergency lighting, which was given the go ahead. It was also agreed Clerk should chase up Detect about changing the alarm zones.Actions arising: Clerk: Churches and Detect.TG said that Swifts appreciated the chafer grub treatment and would help financially now and seek grant aid for the second application. He confirmed that Swifts had brought in topsoil to work on the pitch themselves. Swifts have used their floodlights occasionally as Worthy Down haven’t permitted play on their floodlit pitch. The football club has tried approaching Worthy Down through Community Fit connections. The floodlights only light a small area and restrict what Swifts can do and are in any case only temporary. At Henry Beaufort School they have the use of proper lights. Peter Amies has sent details of grants and play surfaces. Swifts would like to find funding for full scale lighting. The barrier on one side of the pitch required if Swifts achieve promotion is also on the to do list. TG will come back on this in December. Cllr Perrins said research was needed for match funding, which was more common these days. Clerk referred to Open Space funds due when the Service Family Housing recently built at Worthy Down is fully occupied; Council has a few ideas about sport but it would be good to know if Swifts needed it, the money was there.The date of the next meeting is Tuesday, 20th November.

To be noted.
