Introduction 1.1 This Planning, Design & Access Statement has been prepared by Luken Beck on behalf of the applicant to support a planning application for the Change of Use for part of Unit 3 of Morestead Farm from Use Class Sui Generis – Scrapyard to enable the creation of a waste recycling facility comprising of soil cleaning and concrete crushing by the intended user, RB Grab Hire. 1.2 The application proposes to convert the southern section of Unit 3 that is currently occupied by Truck Bizz Ltd, a vehicle scrap yard (Sui Generis), to the proposed waste recycling facility comprising of soil cleaning and concrete crushing following the downsizing of the scrap yard operation to the northern section of Unit 3. The proposals will enable the unit to be split with both businesses operating independently. The southern section of the site has already been cleared by the scrapyard operation with some initial development undertaken including the installation of frames for the proposed walls. 1.3 The application proposes an industrial use within an existing, well-established industrial site that contains 12 different units hosting a range of commercial and industrial businesses ranging from scrap yards and breakers to scaffolders and fencing. The proposal ensures that an industrial use is retained on a well-established industrial site, removing pressure from more sensitive locations within the National Park and helping promote a sustainable rural economy.

The Site and Surroundings 2.1 The subject site which covers the southern section of Unit 3 (approximately 800m2) is located on Morestead Farm, a small industrial site comprising 12 units, on the western side of Morestead Road in Morestead approximately 3.5 miles to the south of Winchester and 2.5 miles to the east of Twyford. The wider Morestead Farm industrial estate site covers an area of approximately 1.6 hectares, and the site for the proposed change of use subject to this planning application is located on the eastern side of the site. The site sits outside a defined settlement boundary within the South Downs National Park and is therefore to additional policy requirements. 2.2 The existing Unit 3 site is currently occupied by Truck Bizz Ltd, a vehicle scrap yard, who have downsized their operation and are proposing to split the unit. The vehicle scrap yard will retain the northern half, releasing the southern half of the unit for the proposed concrete crushing and soil cleaning use intended to be used by RB Grab Hire. Unit 3 currently has two access points in its north western and south western corners – the proposed split would result in no changes to these access points with the north western access continued to be used by the scrap yard operation, and the south western access to be used by the proposed concrete crushing / soil cleaning operation. 2.3 Unit 3 faces onto a large open courtyard area which sits to the west of the proposed change of use site, and this courtyard provides access to all the other industrial units at the site. There is a small area in the south western corner of the designated for car parking, with the entire Morestead Farm site served by an access route in the south eastern corner of the site off Morestead Road. The boundaries of the Unit 3 site are defined by industrial fencing, with the applicant currently in the process of the installing the infrastructure to provide larger breeze block walls to provide additional acoustic barriers. The southern and western boundaries of the wider Morestead Farm site are defined by dense vegetation whilst immediately to the north and east of the site sits Morestead Stables and associated paddocks. 2.4 The surrounding area is characterised by its rural setting with open countryside beyond the Morestead Farm site. A small collection of residential properties sits to the south of the wider Morestead Farm site towards the heart of the village of Morestead. 24/03/2021 2 V1.0 Figure 2: Aerial photo of the site, the location of the temporary classroom and the wider context including locations in the surrounds (Source: Google Earth) OS NORTH Notes: ALL SITE SURFACE TO BE IMPERMEABLE SITE BOUNDARY G GULLY BOUNDARY WALL AND BAYS TO BE CONSTRUCTED FROM 1.2 x 0.6 x 0.6M DRAINAGE CONCRETE LEGO BLOCKS VEHICULAR ACCESS AND MOVEMENT 10m CONCRETE LEGO BRICK WALL SOIL BAY TOPSOIL 10m 9.6m 3m TYPE 1 4.8m BALLAST SHINGLE HARDCORE BAY A 14/12/20 Initial issue NG LB PROCESSING AREA Rev Date Description By Ckd SAND 6m Filwood Green Business Park, 1 Filwood Park Lane, Bristol BS4 1ET Tel: 0117 370 4250 www.mtsenvironmental.co.uk QUARANTINE BAY This drawing is the copyright of MTS Environmental Ltd.

Planning History 3.1 The full relevant planning history of the site is primarily historical, and can be summarised as follows; 85/00995/OLD Use of land as scrap yard, alterations to access Status: Granted Permission, 2nd December 1985 95/33333/FUL Use of land as scrap yard, alterations to access Status: Granted Permission, 16th May 1995 24/03/2021 4 V1.0 4. Proposed Development 4.1 The proposal comprises the Change of Use of part of Unit 3 at Morestead Farm, Morestead Road, Morestead from Sui Generis (Scrap Yard) to a waste recycling facility comprising of soil cleaning and concrete crushing. The proposed business would bring in and sort material, which will comprise concrete, stone and soil, with the material stored in separate bays that will surround the crushing area. The site will have a capacity to store up to 50 tonnes of materials at any one time, with around 64 tonnes being taken into and out of the site daily. The materials will be sourced from sites across Winchester, Southampton and the local surrounding area before being resold out to local businesses. Both the screener and crusher that will be used at the site will benefit from silencers fitted to their exhausts to reduce the noise impact from the proposals. 4.2 The proposed crushing area will be surrounded by 4m high concrete block walls on the northern, eastern and southern boundaries, with a further 1m timber fence on top of it to reduce the noise impacts from the proposals on the surrounding landscape and the residential properties located to the south of the Morestead Farm site. The proposals would bring limited traffic and noise generation owing to the small scale and low intensity of the proposed use. There will be 6 two-way daily vehicle movements from the site as a result of the proposals, of which 4 will be associated with HGV trips. The proposed hours of operation is 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday, and 9am – 12pm Saturday. 4.3 The proposed facility will act as an important facility that will play a role in the ongoing national strategy to reduce the disposal of waste and to encourage re-use wherever possible as set out within the waste hierarchy of the National Planning Policy for Waste. The use of this existing brownfield site, that is suitable owing to its location with an existing industrial complex will help improve self-sufficiency in dealing with waste in accordance with the aspirations of the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan.

  • Report to Planning Committee Date 12 August 2021 by Director Of
    Agenda Item 7 Report PC 21/22-01 Report to Planning Committee Date 12 August 2021 By Director of Planning Local Authority Winchester City Council Application Number SDNP/21/01712/FUL Applicant Mr S Fowler Application Change of Use from Use Class Sui Generis - Scrapyard to Use Class B2 - General Industrial to enable the creation of a soil cleaning and concrete crushing facility Address Unit 3, Morestead Farm, Morestead Road, Morestead, Hampshire Recommendation: That planning permission be refused for the reasons as set out in paragraph 10.1 of the report. Executive Summary This application seeks planning permission for the change of use of the site from scrap yard (sui generis class use) to general industry class B2 for waste management purposes, consisting of soil cleaning and concrete crushing. The proposed development is considered to accord with the broad strategy on locating waste management sites in the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan, in that it is adjacent to a strategic road corridor. However the proposed development fails to meet the first purpose of designation of the National Park, as it would not enhance landscape character and relative tranquillity as required in the Local Plan. The site is in a sensitive area, adjoining a racecourse horses training facility and in proximity to a number of dwellings. Having examined the submitted information, officers are concerned that the proposed activities could lead to dust pollution impacts on nearby uses and amenities, and that mitigation measures proposed are not practically implementable. The application has not demonstrated that no undue detrimental harm would be caused to neighbours.

  • Somborne and Stockbridge
    •341 SOMBORNE AND STOCKBRIDGE. From the Hampshire Chronicle. SOMBORNE. Proceeding by way of Romsey road the party, on reaching the brow of the hill, diverged into the Roman Road from Winchester to Old Sarum, driving some three miles along the road, past Crab Wood and Sheddon Oak Copse, to Westwood, the party alighted at what was practically the foot of Farley Mount—concerning which regret was expressed that a pre- historic mound should have been desecrated by an obelisk or monument to a horse. Mr. T. W. Shore remarked that the Roman Road along which they had been driving took a perfectly straight line from the high ground above Winchester —the Romans from the high ground at Teg Down, by means of fires or otherwise, set their points towards Sarum. If they examined the road which passed under the wood to the north of where they were they would find a curious illustration of the road material used by the Romans ; in addition to the layer of flint they brought an inmense quantity of tertiary pebbles from the vicinity of Hursley and Hiltingbury. The chief reason why he had brought them to that spot was to show them one of the most remarkable of the boundary barrows in Hampshire. Leading the way for some few yards through the tangled undergrowth of the wood, Mr. Shore pointed out the barrow, which he stated had been known for many centuries as Robin Hood's barrow. Mr. Shore said there was not any map, so far as he was aware, which gave the barrow.
