P19/21 Cllr Luff rejoined the meeting.

P20/21. Planning applications RESOLVED: That the following comments on the planning applications received from the Head of Planning and Development Services, EHDC, be submitted to EHDC:

a) 52942/009: Great Holt Farm, Heath Hill, Headley, Farnham, GU10 4HH - Agricultural worker's dwelling. Object, the proposed dwelling is too imposing in the countryside and exceeds the limit of 140 sqm set out in the Local Plan Policy H14. Emerging Local Plan Policy DM13.2 states that new agricultural dwellings should be to a scale and size proportionate to the rural workers that will inhabit the dwelling. Joint Core Strategy Policy CP19 states that inappropriate types and scales of development will not be permitted in order to maintain the landscape character and quality of the countryside. We would also like to see a reduction in the overall height of any proposed building in this location.

b) 25226/001: Ladymead, 4 Carlton Road, Headley Down, GU35 8JW - Single & two storey rear and side extension, 3 dormers to front elevation following demolition of existing garage & car port. Object, the proposed extensions is overdevelopment of the site as it is almost doubling the size of the property. This is in breach of policy H9b of the Local Plan.

c) HCC/2021/0110 & 30633/040: Frith End Sand Quarry, Grooms Farm Lane, Frith End, Bordon GU35 0QR - Variation of Conditions 1 (Timescale), 4 (Phasing) and 10 (Landscaping) of Planning Permission 30633/039. No objection.

d) HCC/2021/0124 & 30633/041: Frith End Sand Quarry, Grooms Farm Lane, Frith End, Bordon GU35 0QR - Extension to the quarry extraction area to the South-West with associated modifications to the approved quarry schemes. Object, the extension to the quarry may have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area, particularly when viewed from Footpath 48 and the Trottsford Farm collection of buildings. The 2005 Technical Statement and Technical Appraisal states that "Views from the south are screened by Ranks Hill and intervening vegetation" - such screening would be lost if Ranks Hill was removed.

e) 27234/005: 28A Phillips Crescent, Headley, GU35 8NU - Two storey side extension. Object, there will be insufficient parking and lack of safe manoeuvring space on site for the remaining parking spaces. The spaces on the hard standing belong to No 28 and these will become partially blocked.

f) 51268/002: 1 Glebe Road, Headley, GU35 8QD - Increase in roof height to provide accommodation at first floor level. Object, the proposed extension is over imposing due to the raised elevation of the property in the street scene particularly from the B3002 when entering Headley village centre. The proposal is overdevelopment of the property due to its large scale and will have an impact on the Conservation Area which adjoins the property boundary.

g) 31697/003: The Privets, Headley Fields, Headley, GU35 8QA - Conversion of existing garage to habitable accommodation and single storey extension to side. No Objection.

h) 54171/001: Yew Trees, Whitehill Road, , GU35 8QS – Single storey rear extension. Object, the proposed metal clad flat roofed extension is out of character with the host dwelling. Perhaps a traditional looking orangery or similar would be more in keeping.

i) 59051: Hedgerow, Kenley Road, Headley Down, GU35 8EL - Increase existing garage to include carport and hobby room above with windows to rear. Object, the proposed development, by virtue of its visually prominent forward position within Page 4 of 6 Chairman Signature…………………………………………. Date………………………………

All minutes are draft until ratified by the Planning Committee at the next meeting

the Kenley Road street scene, together with its height and massing, would result in an overly dominant and incongruously sited building which would harm the scale and character of the host dwelling and have a detrimental impact on the character of the local area. It would fail to make a positive contribution to the overall appearance of the area and is, therefore, contrary to Policy CP29 of the East District Local Plan: Joint Core Strategy (2014), saved policies HE2 and H9 of the District Local Plan: Second Review, the Council’s adopted ‘Residential Extensions and Householder Development’ Supplementary Planning Document as well as Government advice contained within paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the information available, it cannot be shown that the development can be accommodated in a manner that would not cause damage to the health and stability of the protected nearby Oak tree in the neighbouring property (White Heather). The proposal is therefore contrary to saved policy C6 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review

j) 28449/005: Oak Cottage, Road, Bordon, GU35 0AB - Orangery to side. Object, the application site lies within a rural area to which restrictive Planning Policies apply. The proposal represents an unacceptable cumulative addition to this property, which has been extended in the past. This enlargement and the extension itself changes the scale and character of the property and affects the successful retention of a range of dwellings of varying sizes in an area where new dwellings are not permitted contrary to Policy H16 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review.

P21/21 To suspend Standing Order 3V as the meeting is not going to be completed within 2 hours RESOLVED: To suspend Standing Order 3V to allow the meeting to conclude.

k) 31045: 3 Windmill Drive, Headley Down, GU35 8AL - Single storey front extension & garage conversion to form a wheel chair accessible bedroom. No objection, subject to EHDC receiving confirmation from the applicants Doctor that the extension is required.

l) 20983/016: Broxhead Farm, Broxhead Farm Road, Lindford, GU35 0NY - Notification for Prior Approval for a Proposed Change of Use of Agricultural Building to 3 Dwelling houses (Class C3). Object, NPPF Class Q allows the change of use of certain buildings from agricultural to residential use not the rebuilding as would be required in this situation. The application site and proposed dwellings are within 400m of the Broxhead SPA and thus do not conform to the current restrictions to new residential dwellings in such areas. We would also point out that the Applicants request to transfer the permission in 20983/013 to this open sided farm building lapsed on 10 March 2020.

m) 24934/024: Former site of Whiteley's Family Restaurant, Robin Hood Lane, Headley - Variation of Condition 15 of permission 24934/021 to allow substitution of plans to facilitate alterations to the dwellings, parking, garage and site plans (amended drawings incorporating land to the south east of the site). No objection, however, the area to the South must remain a protected zone and no further intrusion to be allowed.

P22/21. Applications to lop/fell trees RESOLVED: That the following comments on the tree applications received from the Head of Planning and Development Services, EHDC, be submitted to EHDC: a) 24927/058: Hilland Wood, Fullers Vale, Headley, Bordon – 5 x Sycamore - Fell. Refer this application to the Arboricultural Officer.

b) 39404/009: Touchwood, 2 Gorselands Close, Headley Down, GU35 8HL - T5- Beech-Remove overhanging branches into the garden of 54a Furzehill by approx 3.5m to the boundary line. Refer this application to the Arboricultural Officer.
