INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Planning, Design and Access Statement has been prepared by Pegasus Group in support of an application to change the use and extend a chapel to create 1no. new dwelling. 1.2 The detailed description of development is as follows: “Change of use of Chapel and Schoolroom (Use Class D1) to 1no. 2- bedroom dwelling (Use Class C3); demolition of existing link section and erection of new extension and associated works.” 1.3 This Statement sets out the context of the application by reviewing the site and its surroundings in terms of the relevant physical, social, economic and planning context, as well as, the relevant planning history and local and national planning policies. It then goes on to describe the proposed development in detail. 1.4 The main justification section then explores whether the proposal is compliant with the policies in the adopted development plan and considers the proposal against other material considerations including the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), to which the appropriate weight is given. Further, this assessment includes a Design and Access Statement which outlines the process, physical context and strategy that has led to the design of the proposed dwelling. 1.5 This Statement should be read in conjunction with the associated drawings, prepared by York Associates Ltd. FEBRUARY 2018 | DM | P16-1353 Page | 1 York Associates Methodist Chapel, St Mary Bourne, Andover, SP11 6EL Planning, Design and Access Statement 2. SITE CONTEXT AND SURROUNDINGS 2.1 The Chapel is located within the village of St Mary Bourne (St Mary’s). St Mary’s is a small village and civil parish in northwest Hampshire. 2.2 The site is bound to the north and west by existing agricultural land, to the east by a row of cottages and to the south by the B3048 (Stoke Lane). 2.3 The Bourne Rivulet (EA Main River) is located approximately 40m north of the site. The majority of the Chapel lies within Flood Zone 1, however some of its curtilage and the immediate surroundings lie within the fluvial floodplain (Flood Zone 2 and 3) which is the area at greatest risk of flooding. An extract from the Environment Agency’s flood risk map is included below with the site outlined in red. IMAGE 1: ENVIRONMENT AGENCY FLOOD MAP 2.4 The site lies within the designated settlement boundary for St Mary Bourne where the principle of development and redevelopment is established. 2.5 The site also lies within the St Mary Bourne Conservation Area and the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 2.6 Whilst the building and surrounding wall are not themselves listed, they are both considered to be “notable” heritage assets of value within the St Mary Bourne Conservation Area Character Appraisal. A group of Grade II Listed cottages lie adjacent to the appraisal site. FEBRUARY 2018 | DM | P16-1353 Page | 2 York Associates Methodist Chapel, St Mary Bourne, Andover, SP11 6EL Planning, Design and Access Statement 2.7 The building has not been in use for some years and has, as a result, fallen into a state of severe disrepair. The interior has suffered from significant degradation and would require extensive renovation to convert into an attractive, habitable space. The courtyard is also heavily overgrown and some of its vegetation has penetrated into the Chapel itself through gaps in the building’s fabric and broken windows. Many of the windows are boarded up and the paintwork on the exterior is chipped and patchy. A photosheet is attached at Appendix 1 showing the nature of the decay to both the exterior and interior of the Chapel. APPENDIX 1: PHOTOSHEET 2.8 Whilst the Chapel has retained is structure and a handful of features of architectural interest, it is, currently, an eyesore which ultimately detracts from the appearance of the surrounding area and the setting of the nearby listed cottages. 2.9 The existing layout comprises the main Chapel, the Schoolroom and a link building. The latter was added after the erection of the former two. FEBRUARY 2018 | DM | P16-1353 Page | 3 York Associates Methodist Chapel, St Mary Bourne, Andover, SP11 6EL Planning, Design and Access Statement 3. THE PROPOSAL 3.1 The proposal is to renovate and convert the Chapel to a two-bedroom, four-person dwelling. To facilitate this conversion, the existing link section will be replaced with a new glass link and a new mezzanine floor will be installed within the main Chapel building. 3.2 The detailed layout is shown on the accompanying drawings. However, to summarise, the following will be contained within each part: 1. Chapel Building: Living/Dining Area and kitchen on ground floor and a bathroom and two bedrooms within the mezzanine floor; 2. Link Building: Living space and new entrance to property; 3. Schoolroom: Ground floor WC, lobby area and additional living space. 3.3 The porch of the existing chapel, which forms the main entrance to the building at present, will be replaced and converted into storage space. 3.4 There is no parking provision proposed on the site. This is because of the desire to retain the wall along the site’s southern boundary (a heritage asset identified within the Conservation Area Character Appraisal) and also because appropriate visibility splays could not be achieved for an off-street parking space within the site. 3.5 A detailed Access Statement has been included as part of the application justifying why no off-street parking has been provided as part of the application and why on- street provision will be acceptable. FEBRUARY 2018 | DM | P16-1353 Page | 4 York Associates Methodist Chapel, St Mary Bourne, Andover, SP11 6EL Planning, Design and Access Statement 4. PLANNING HISTORY Application Site 4.1 The site has no recorded planning history. Other Relevant Applications 4.2 Planning permission (16/02245/FUL) was granted on 23 August 2016 for the, “Change the use from D1 nursery to C3 residential at Cottage Day Nursery North Sydmonton Hampshire.” 4.3 Whilst there were not the same heritage considerations as is the case with this proposal, it is an example of a conversion from D1 to C3 on the grounds that the D1 use had ceased to function thus making the change of use application acceptable. 4.4 Planning permission (15/01424/FUL) was granted on 22 June 2015 for the, “change of use of a former church (class D1) to a Dwelling (class C3). Erection of single storey side extension with glazed link, detached car port/store and internal alterations” at Mission Hall, Sydmonton Road, Hampshire. 4.5 The application site was Grade II Listed and within the North Wessex Downs AONB. It also lay outside of a designated settlement boundary. FEBRUARY 2018 | DM | P16-1353 Page | 5 York Associates Methodist Chapel, St Mary Bourne, Andover, SP11 6EL Planning, Design and Access Statement 5. PLANNING POLICY 5.1 The national and local planning policy considered relevant to the determination of this application proposal are set down below. i) National Policy and Guidance National Planning Policy Framework (March 2012) 5.2 National policy and guidance is set out in the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in March 2012. The NPPF replaced the previous suite of national Planning Policy Statements, Planning Policy Guidance notes and Circulars into a single, streamlined document. 5.3 Paragraph 14 states that at the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development. For decision taking this means approving development proposals that accord with the development plan without delay and where the development plan is absent, silent or relevant policies are out-of-date, granting permission unless: • Any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework as taken as a whole; or • Specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted. 5.4 The purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and the NPPF sets out three ‘dimensions’ to sustainable development: an economic role, a social role, and an environmental role. The presumption is key to delivering these ambitions, by creating a positive pro- development framework which is underpinned by the wider economic, environmental and social provisions of the NPPF. 5.5 The NPPF also sets out 12 no.

    Basingstoke Rural West Covering the wards of: Baughurst and Tadley North; Kingsclere; Sherborne St John; Burghclere, Highclere and St Mary Bourne; East Woodhay www.hampshire.police.uk Welcome to the Basingstoke Rural West newsletter, September 2019 Your neighbourhood policing team includes: PC Simon Denton PC Jon Hayes PC Martyn Evans has been promoted and moved to a new role as a sergeant at Yateley. You can contact the team at [email protected] — though this address is not monitored every day. For reporting crime, call 101 or go to the Hampshire police website. Community priorities The current neighbourhood priority is burglary. The number of burglary reports has been low throughout August , albeit there have been cases of opportunist theft in other adjacent areas. Tractor parts have been stolen from Binley, and garage breaks have been reported at Wells Lane in Whitchurch, and in Laverstoke. On 1 August, a burglary was reported at Franklin Avenue in Tadley. Five days later, a property was broken into in Sydmonton. The latter incident occurred during the morning. The resident reported seeing an old Land Rover driving around in suspicious circumstances. Now that summer is coming to an end, why not take the opportunity to make security marks on your garden machinery and lawnmowers before you put them away? You should also check if the access to you garden is secure. For further security, consider putting alarms on your outbuildings. Theft in rural car parks update Did you know? We have continued to receive reports of goods being stolen from vehicles parked in rural car We have been running a ‘Paint it Pink’ parks at Beacon Hill, White Hill, Jonathan Hill campaign for batteries.

The route takes in parts of North Hampshire, passing through Woolton Hill, Burghclere, Sydmonton, Ecchinswell and Kingsclere. Once out of Newbury, the route mostly sticks to quiet country lanes, although there are a couple of places where you have to cross busy A-roads.

  • Lost Roads of Burghclere
    THE LOST ROADS OF BURGHCLERE AND NEWTOWN A Discussion compiled by Neill Bruce © <[email protected]> Manor Farm Old Burghclere, from the top of West st. THE LOST ROADS OF BURGHCLERE and NEWTOWN Have you ever wondered why a road has a kink in it? - As with Harts Lane by the Carpenter’s Arms. Well, if you look carefully enough it frequently means that the kink was part of another road which crossed it, or the road you are on has been diverted. Only rarely - if ever locally - does it mean that it had to skirt a pond or bog etc. Always look at field boundaries, as they frequently reveal a possible road line. In this article, I refer to roads, which in the 18th. century - and before - would mostly have just been tracks. i.e. the Green Lane is an ancient track that runs from Highclere to Hockleys Hole, and then on to Echinswell as a road. I also refer to and use clips of several maps, including Mr Taylor’s map of 1759 and Mr Milne’s map of 1791. These maps are available to view at ‘Old Hampshire Mapped’ on the Internet, and I am most grateful to Martin Norgate for allowing me to use these maps to illustrate this history of the roads in Burghclere and Newtown. I will also often refer to a map dated 1768 by John Willis and 50+ year old Ordnance Survey maps - now out of © - are reproduced by kind permission of the Ordnance Survey UK. So to Harts Lane; the kink lines up with the original route of Ox Drove, which curved round the back of the properties beside the Sandham Chapel, and crossed Harts Lane where the field gate used to be - and a new house is now built.
