20.0047 Planning: - Chair Cllr Langford 20.0047.1 The Council noted the Planning Committee Meeting Minutes of 18th June 2020. 20.0047.2 Planning Applications Received up until and including 26th June 2020.

a) SDNP/20/02324/HOUS | SDNP/20/02325/LIS Location: The Farmyard Easton Lane Easton SO21 1EQ Proposal: Proposed single storey garage extension. Conversion of an existing garage to ancillary living accommodation. Installation of an air source heat pump and associated brick screen wall. Comment: Object We do not object to the development as designed but because the swimming pool is to be heated by an Air Source Heat Pump we request that the applicant be asked for a noise impact survey and the installation be compliant with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme Planning Standards (MCS 020) [1] This mandates that the fans should be of a type and set in a place which reduces neighbours disturbance as much as possible. ASHPs have the ability to be very disruptive, the noise may be mild for short periods of time - but they run for long periods and dig into the subconscious creating noise stress. They also get noisier with age as the bearings wear. There is an example locally of an ASHP heating a swimming pool that can be heard from over 50m away The survey may find alternative locations or types of pump which could be less/no nuisance to neighbours.

b) SDNP/20/02339/SCOPE

Location: Matterley Farm Alresford Road Ovington Alresford SO24 0HU

Proposal: Proposed Development at Matterley Farm, Alresford Road, Ovington, SO24 0HU – Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (as amended 2018) - Regulation 15 Request for a Scoping Opinion. Comment: 1. This is a planning application for a permanent 1,100-acre festival site with structures within the South Downs National Park. A National Park is not the right place for a festival site, it is a major development and fails the requirement for exceptional circumstances of Core Policy SD3 2. The Scoping should include The Exceptional Circumstances to overrule core Policy SD3. 3. The availability of reasonable alternative places for a festival site outside the National Park 4. The development that has already taken place to change the Landscape Character of the site, e.g. tracks 5. The other non-agricultural activities that take place within the application site - motor cross, tank driving, tough mudder, oil well etc. 1.3.4 The environmental consultees should be widened to include at least:-

a) The Hampshire and Isle of Wight wildlife Trust

b) The Hampshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation

c) The Hampshire Branch of the Ornithological Society

d) The Ramblers Association - Hampshire Branch

e) The Open Spaces Society

f) CPRE 6. The whole of the Farmland and Woodland bird indexes should be scoped, not just those listed. 7. Stress - an analysis of the mental issues caused by the festival experience on the neighbouring residential population. 8. 4.7.1 Evidence of the economic benefit and losses caused by festivals- not just hearsay. The crime figures associated at, and locally, with the event. 9. 2.2.7 Traffic management should include the A272 and Rodfield Lane 10. 2.2.10 The charitable benefits that will be attached to any planning permission 11. 4.11.8 the baseline noise survey should be widened to include other parishes, 3 receptor sites is not enough to provide a complete picture. Experience shows that weather - cloud base and wind - has a significant impact on how far noise travels and a five-day survey will not cover all the variables and this should be carried out to include these.

The scoping should also include the noise produced by amplified music Noise intrusion is locally the most complained about negative aspect caused by festivals 12. 5.3.1 the baseline ambient light in the area 13. The treatment of sewage, waste and nitrate emission calculations in relation to Nitrate Mitigation in the Solent
