Ref: Land Site ID 1002 Land at 1 Individual corner station road & A27. It has previously been stated that an area of 3 mtrs from the pavement edge must be kept clear because of the water main running beneath. P.132 2) This area fulfils at least 3 of the criteria. Pleased to note access to this site but would hope there will be adequate parking facilities on site. Already surrounding roads are used extensively for parking during the week by people using the station. There have been some problems with utility vehicles due to the parking already. My comments also concern Windmill Grove 1083, somewhat concerned to note this is being considered despite being in a flood zone 3.

  • Employment Land Review December 2013
    Fareham LDF Employment Land Review 2013 December 2013 Employment Land Review December 2013 Fareham LDF Employment Land Review 2013 December 2013 Executive Summary The 2013 Employment Land Review (ELR) shows how Fareham can meet its required economic development floorspace targets for the plan period up to 2026. The ELR follows a three stage approach, of looking firstly at the existing stock of employment sites, then calculating what the future floorspace requirements of the Borough are, before analysing all potential sites and showing how, on a number of recommended sites, the requirements can be met. The document creates an economic profile for the Borough drawn from a statistical analysis of the types of jobs available within the Borough, and the skill level and earnings of the residents. The ELR then lists out all of the Borough's existing employment sites that are considered suitable for retention for employment uses, these are listed in table 6, and are analysed in detail in the Technical Appendix which accompanies the ELR. The future requirements for the Borough for the plan period are derived from work undertaken by PUSH in the South Hampshire Strategy as well as figures from the recently published Fareham Borough Employment Study 2013 (Wessex Economics). An analysis of potential sites in the Borough (detail in chapter 5 and the Technical Appendix) shows that Fareham has the potential to meet its overall requirements by some 36%. However, whilst there appears to be an oversupply of industrial/warehouse floorspace there is a slight deficit in terms of overall office supply. This ELR concludes that there is a need to allocate the following sites for employment use in the Development Sites & Policies Plan to help meet the Borough’s requirements: Solent 2 Little Park Farm Midpoint 27, Cartwright Drive Kites Croft Walled Gardens, Cams Hall Fareham LDF Employment Land Review 2013 December 2013 Contents Page 1.

This involved a series of public exhibitions and the development of dedicated web pages to try and explain the content of the Plan. A flyer, sent to all households in the Borough, a press release and posters in public notice boards were all utilised to try and spread the details of the consultation as wide as possible. Following the six week period of consultation the Council also undertook three, more focussed, consultation exercises on individual elements of the Plan that had been altered subsequent to the previously consulted draft. The three individual consultations were on: 1. Solent Breezes; 2. Gypsy, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople; and 3. Fareham College and additional employment sites The purpose of this paper is to set out a complete list of all comments received during this draft stage of the Plan process. Alongside each of the comments received will be the Council’s response setting out how, where necessary, the Plan has been amended. For more information on the consultation measures took on this, and all other stages, of the DSP Plan please see the Local Plan Part 2: Development Sites and Policies Plan Consultation Statement.

Site Description This site is located adjacent to 60 Swanwick Lane and is within the designated countryside. Number 60 Swanwick Lane is excluded from the development site. The site comprises of approximately 2.4 hectares, much of it is grassland and former agricultural land with the centre part of the site being essentially open. The site is visually prominent from Swanwick Lane. There are various outbuildings and agricultural barns within the site. Hedges and trees exist to the north-west, north and north-east boundaries. From within the site, the land slopes gently down towards the road frontage and also down towards the northern boundary. Residential dwellings are located to the east, west and south, an arboricultural nursery and industrial land to the north west and woodland and trees to the north and north east. The Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve which is a designated SINC is located further north of the site. Description of Proposal Outline planning permission is sought for the construction of up to 62 dwellings with all matters reserved apart from the means of access to the site which would be off Swanwick Lane. The layout, appearance, scale and landscaping are therefore reserved for a future reserved matters application and not for consideration at this time.

  • Local Plan Part 2 Submissions F
    Fareham Local Plan, Part 2 Development Sites and Policies Composite submission by Robert Tutton BSc (Hons) MRTPI ISSUE 2: THE EXISTING SETTLEMENTS (DSP2-DSP6) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Planning Practice Guidance reminds one that ‘ National planning policy places Local Plans at the heart of the planning system’ and ‘ A policies map must illustrate geographically the application of policies in a development plan’ . Three years ago, the Fareham Core Strategy set down the Borough Council’s promise (at 5.146) that ‘A review of the settlement boundaries will be undertaken in the Site Allocations and Development Management Development Plan Document’. Para.1.7 of the draft Local Plan Part 2: reiterated the intention to ‘Review and designate areas in the Borough such as settlement boundaries and strategic gaps’. As the dictionary definition of ‘review’ is ‘.. a general survey or assessment…revision or reconsideration’ , it was expected that the promised ‘review of the settlement boundaries’ would be a comprehensive reappraisal, to ensure that their alignments would convey the right policy intentions through to 2026. In response to objections to the Draft Plan (eg REFs 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 and 60), the Borough Council contended that ‘ Evidence studies, including the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and the Employment Land Review, have concluded that there are sufficient identified sites within the existing DUSBs to meet the Borough’s development requirements…In light of this, it has not been necessary to review the DUSBs in the Development Sites and Policies Plan’ . The Borough Council has not reviewed settlement boundaries; failed to provide a definitive basis for the application of ‘green’ or ‘brown’ policies; anomalies have carried forward; and opportunities to deliver sustainable development have been overlooked.
