Harting Parish Council HARTING PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the meeting of the Planning Committee held at 7.30 pm in the Harting Community Hall, South Harting on Friday 16th November 2018 Present: Sheridan Bowman (Chair), Andrew Shaxson, Sheila Bramley, Tim Bonner and Hugo Stuttaford. In attendance: Trish Walker, Parish Clerk 67. Apologies for absence: Chris Healey and Simon Powys Maurice. 68. Declarations of Interest: None. 69. Members of the Public Present: 26 70. Minutes of the meeting on 18th October 2018: Having been agreed, the minutes were signed by the Chairman. 71. Matters of Urgent Public Importance: None. 72. Current Planning Applications: 72.1. SDNP/18/05385/FUL Demolition of existing village hall and construction of 2no. 4 bedroom detached houses including associated infrastructure, car parking and landscaping on land at The Henry Warren Club, Nyewood Road, Nyewood, West Sussex, GU31 5JE. Construction of new village hall including associated infrastructure, car parking and landscaping on land North East of Prestwood, Nyewood Road, Nyewood, West Sussex, GU31 5HX. The Henry Warren Club and Land North East of Prestwood Nyewood Road Nyewood South Harting Petersfield West Sussex GU31 5JE The Chairman commented that the application is very unusual as it is two applications in one, with each part of the application being in two separate parishes. For this reason, the Council only considered the part of the application situated in the Parish of Harting for which it is a statutory consultee, i.e. 2no. 4 bedroom detached houses including associated infrastructure, car parking and landscaping on land at The Henry Warren Club. Representations were made by opponents of the scheme and the following areas were covered: • Noise • The results of a poll carried out by a local group show the majority of the community do not support this application, in particular the siting of the new hall. • Concerns that the finances have not been made public and that the viability of funding the new hall from the proceeds of the sale of the houses has not been demonstrated. • Access for delivery of oil and wood to the rear of the neighbouring cottages to the south would not be possible if the houses were built. • The proposed hall is unnecessarily large for the village, it would be costly to run and could impact on the income for other village halls in the area • The houses are too big for the site • The design of the two houses is too urban and the street view of Edwardian cottages will be detrimentally altered Representations were made by supporters of the scheme and the following areas were covered: • A survey carried out by the Trustees showed that a majority of the community wished to have the new hall built on the larger site. • The current hall was gifted by the Warren family, but, due to the change in demographics of the village, the hall is now too small and the site cannot accommodate a larger hall and necessary on-site parking. • The proposed houses have been designed to fit in with the linear street scene which is a mix of building designs from many periods – Victorian, Edwardian, 1960s and 1970s. • For each house, off-road parking will be provided for three vehicles. • Fund raising for a new hall on the existing site had been very difficult, but cross-funding through the housing makes a new hall viable on the new site at the north of the village. Councillors asked the applicants a number of questions concerning the recommendations made in the SDNPA’s pre-application advice; it was confirmed that none of the recommended changes had yet been addressed. Councillors discussed the difficulty of considering only one part of the application when the two are financially interdependent: it was noted that Rogate Parish Council had considered only that part of the application which falls within their parish, i.e. a new hall on a site at the north end of Nyewood. The WSCC Highways Officer’s comments were also discussed and concern was expressed regarding the achievability of adequate visibility splays. Objection Although the Council appreciates that the two aspects of the application are interdependent, it is only a statutory consultee on applications which fall within Harting Parish. Its comments are therefore confined to the proposal to build “2 no. 4 bedroom detached houses including associated infrastructure, car parking and landscaping on land at The Henry Warren Club”. The Council objects for the following reasons: firstly, the bulk and mass of the design given the small size of the site, as well as the 8.3 metre ridge height relative to the lower ridges of neighbouring properties, secondly, those issues raised in the pre-application advice which could have been addressed in the full application have not been addressed: in particular, there is no evidence of measures to mitigate light spillage and no information on sustainability measures, and, thirdly, the Council objects to the 3 metre by 2 metre roof lanterns which are contrary to the SDNPA’s Dark Night Skies Policy (SD 8). 73. To note the Review of South Downs National Park’s Local List for validation of South Downs National Park Development Management Applications The Council agreed there was no need to submit comments. 74. To note any planning appeals: None 75. To note any planning appeal decision: None 76. Date of next meeting: to be arranged The Chairman closed the meeting at 8.45 pm. .

  • LIVING with LOCKDOWN a Rainbow Village
    LIVING WITH LOCKDOWN As we head towards a fourth week of lockdown, we are all trying to adjust to a very different world than any of us could have imagined. The aim of the team in the Parish Council Emergency Group is to support the most vulnerable in our community as best we can through our wonderful volunteers. We hope that you have the details of your local volunteer if you need help. However, if you need support you can contact the Emergency Group on 01730 825201. The team at the Parish Council Emergency Group have also been sharing ideas on how to keep our community together when we can’t get together. Living with the lockdown is challenging for us all and can make us feel frustrated, lonely, and maybe even a bit sad. So here are some thoughts on keeping us together but apart: A Rainbow Village The Congregational Church, on Petersfield Road as you leave the village, would like as many young people as possible to paint or draw a rainbow to be displayed in the windows of the porch for all to see as they go by. Please leave pictures on the floor in the porch or take a photo of your picture and email to [email protected]. Let’s fill our village with rainbows from the young and the not so young. Draw or paint a picture and put it in your window. A Community Work of Art Let’s create a community patchwork quilt to serve as a lasting reminder of these Method: unprecedented times.

  • Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District
    “Steps”, Trotton, Nr Petersfield, West Sussex, GU31 5JS Response by Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council considered the draft recommendations at a meeting held on Wednesday 14th. September 2016. We are delighted that the proposal to move Trotton from Harting ward was rejected. However, we continue to have grave concerns regarding the proposal to move Elsted and Treyford Parish from Harting ward to Midhurst ward. Our response to the initial consultation included four points relating directly to Elsted parish, and we would repeat and strengthen these here: 1. Trotton no longer has a school, shop, village green, sports ground, village hall or public house and must rely on its neighbours' facilities. Our population centre (albeit a small one) is situated to the south of our parish, about a mile from the public house at Lower Elsted, which hosts events for Trotton residents each month. The Village hall and sports ground at Elsted give a good view across Trotton and are often used by Trotton residents. Trotton and Elsted Parishes are similar in size and nature and the two Parish councils have recently been exploring options for closer working, including the potential for a Common Parish Council. We have strong links to Elsted, which in turn has strong links with Harting Parish. 2. Like our neighbours in Elsted parish, Trotton also has strong links to its larger neighbour Rogate as the two parishes share a Rector across the four churches which make up the United Benefice. Given the small size and sparse facilities of our parish, we also value our links with Rogate for its school and for allowing us to combine with them for celebrations such as the recent Queen’s birthday.
