DECISIONS RECEIVED Reference/Decision CC/14/02551/FUL Land Adjacent To 1 Kings Avenue, Chichester, West Sussex WR (C Boddy) PO19 8EA - Proposed 2 bedroom detached house. DISMISSED "...The appeal is dismissed The current scheme is an amendment to a previous proposal, which was dismissed at appeal, Ref: PP/L3815/A/12/2171563 The scheme before me differs in so far as the design of the proposed dwelling has been changed from a square footprint with a simple pitched roof, to an L-shape building with a front facing gable... My colleague previously concluded that the site was simply too narrow and too shallow to accommodate a dwelling in a visually acceptable way. The changes to the proposed design do not address this fundamental issue, since the dimensions of the site remain unchanged... The introduction of a dwelling, that would occupy almost the full width of this highly constrained site, would appear to be an excessively cramped and incongruous form of development... For these reasons I conclude that the proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies 33 and 47 of the recently adopted Chichester Local Plan... The proposed dwelling would be constructed in close proximity to secondary windows on the first floor in the flank elevation of No 1... the changes to the design have not overcome my colleague's concern and I share his conclusion that the proposal would be un- neighbourly... I conclude that the proposed dwelling would be harmful to the living conditions of occupants of the adjoining properties... The appeal site lies within Flood Zone 2... it is therefore necessary to apply the sequential test. The Council contends that given the size of the district and the extent of land that does not fall within areas at risk of flooding, there are likely to be more suitable sites to accommodate a single dwelling than the appeal site. I see no reason to disagree with this assessment...For these reasons I conclude that the appeal site would be unsuitable for the development of a new dwelling, due to its location within Flood Zone 2. It would be contrary to the advice of the Framework and PPG in relation to flood risk... the proposed dwelling would not be a sustainable form of development..." Reference/Decision EWB/15/00917/DOM Somerswood House, 144 Stocks Lane, East Wittering, West WR (C Boddy) Sussex, PO20 8NT - Revised dormers and roof alterations. DISMISSED “ The appeal is dismissed. The main issues are (i) the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, and (ii) the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of Nos. 142 and 146 as regards outlook. … The appeal scheme seeks to increase the ridge height of the approved two-storey rear extension to create a habitable second floor, with consequential changes to the proposed dormers in the side roof slopes and the width of the extension. … The thrust of the appellant’s argument is that given the existing approvals, these alterations now proposed would be ‘minimal’. Whether dimensions such as 0.9m for the increase in main ridge and eaves heights and 1.3m for the increase in dormer ridge heights can in themselves be reasonably described as ‘minimal’ is arguable. However to my mind it is their effect in this particular context that is more significant. The ridge height of the rear extension would become the same as that of the host dwelling, thereby removing the previous element of subservience. Without this, the proposal amounts to a ‘step change’ in the appearance of the building because the rearward extension would be perceived as part of the dwelling’s original design. As such, and bearing in mind that the property is one half of a semi-detached pair next to another semi-detached pair, an addition of this type and scale would make the dwelling appear disproportionately and incongruously large compared to its neighbours. Furthermore, the larger dormers in their higher position than approved would add bulk and mass to the extension, whilst the fact that three of the dormer windows are to a bedroom and need to be obscure glazed to avoid the overlooking of neighbours also illustrates their incongruity. As well as being harmful to the dwelling itself, I consider that the extension would be clearly visible in views from Stocks Lane in the gap between the building and No. 142. This would result in it becoming apparent that the development is harmfully out of keeping with the character and appearance of the area. The Council’s Design Guidelines for Alterations to Dwellings & Extensions 2009 require extensions to be visually integrated with the existing building; to be sympathetic to its surrounding and adjoining properties, and to be subservient in mass, bulk and form to the existing property. Whilst the appellant argues that the already approved development as now amended by the appeal scheme would be compliant with these requirements, I agree with the Council’s assessment that the proposal fails on all three. Turning briefly to the second issue, I am satisfied that because of the rear extension’s scale and bulk and the visual impact of the dormers, the proposed development would appear as overbearing and oppressive in the outlook from both Nos. 142 and 146. This strengthens the Council’s case for its refusal. Overall, I conclude that the harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area and the adverse effect on the living conditions for the neighbours as regards outlook would be unacceptable. As such it would conflict with Policy 33 of the adopted Chichester Local Plan: Key Policies 2014-2027, and the core planning principles and Section 7: ‘Requiring Good Design’ of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012. In reaching this conclusion I acknowledge that the appeal scheme would improve the usefulness of the extensions for the appellant but this does not outweigh the disadvantages of the proposal as outlined. As regards the scale of the proposed redevelopment of the nearby factory building as a retirement home, because of the different immediate context I do not regard this as being comparable with an extension to a semi-detached dwelling.” Reference/Decision SDNP/14/03765/FUL Fairleads, Wheatsheaf Enclosure, Liphook, Hampshire WR (M Mew) GU30 7EJ - Replacement dwelling substituting existing 4 bed Milland house to create a 5 bed home. In progress DISMISSED "...Within the estate there are a variety of ages and styles of dwellings, constructed of a mix of materials, and given this, the use of slate and render would not be unacceptably different with the estate. However, in addition to occupying much of the footprint of the existing bungalow, the proposed house would extend along much of the width of the garden. even with the angled plan form and the varying ridge heights, the proposed house would be a very long, deep and tall building that would be a dominant feature both within its plot and in the surrounding area. ... Despite the variation in plot sizes, a distinctive feature of the estate is the generous gardens, with many of the dwellings being approximately centrally positioned in them.

[email protected] (corresponding author) +44(0)23 9284 2472 2 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] +44(0)23 9284 2482 1 Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Abstract Historically, meadows provided an essential crop of hay and common grazing in a delicately managed sustainable system in harmony with their environment and were of vital importance to the agricultural cycle of farming communities. Using archival and remotely sensed data, this paper provides a speculative re-construction of a former floodplain water management system and examines the changing fortunes of the floodplain meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, revealing the process of change in both the physical and cultural landscape. The inevitable decline of the floodplain meadows of the Rother was part of a nationwide transformation brought about by the introduction of new farming practices operating in a fast- changing tenurial landscape, dominated by th e growth of landed estates where commoners ’ rights were viewed with growing contempt. Today, the current vista of the Rother reveals only remnants of the past landscape where marginal habitats, riparian fringes and meadows have made way for a monoculture of permanent pasture of poor conservation value, supporting low biodiversity and offering little to mitigate against flood risk and poor water quality.

  • 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.

  • Neighbourhood Development Plans Background Paper South Downs Local Plan
    Neighbourhood Development Plans Background Paper South Downs Local Plan March 2018 1. NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN UPDATE FOR THE SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN 1.1 This paper provides an overview of the status of Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs) across the National Park at the point of submission of the South Downs Local Plan. NDPs are being prepared by many communities across the National Park and localism within a protected landscape has presented a range of challenges and opportunities. The National Park Authority is fully supportive of all parish and town councils that have expressed an interest in preparing an NDP for their community. 1.2 As of 31 March 2018, there were a total of 52 designated neighbourhood areas across the National Park. Many of these straddle the boundary of the National Park. Where the main settlement is within the National Park, the SDNPA is the lead Local Planning Authority for supporting the community in preparing a NDP. Across the National Park, 21 NDPs have been made and are now part of the Development Plan. The details of all 52 neighbourhood areas is set out in Appendix 1, which includes the latest key milestone reached by each plan as of 31 March 2018. All designated Neighbourhood Areas are shown on a map in Appendix 2. 1.3 It is important that all of the National Park is planned for. The South Downs Local Plan (SDLP) does not generally allocate any development in parishes with an NDP. Exceptions to this are strategic sites / strategic housing allocations, or where a NDP itself does not allocate sites to meet SDLP provisions, for example, Findon.
