1. Application – 19/02890/OUT: Outline Planning application for a detached dwellinghouse with all matters reserved save for access Site: Weston Patrick House Weston Road Weston Patrick RG25 2NT

The Committee considered the report set out on pages 33 to 61 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet.

The Committee discussed the proposed application and on the whole it was felt that the access and site were satisfactory and any potential issues with the removal of trees could be dealt with under the reserved matters application.

Councillor George left the meeting during this item and therefore did not vote.

RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons.

Reasons for Approval

1 The application would not result in the erection of a single dwelling in an isolated location within the countryside and the proposal is considered to represent a sustainable form of development. The proposal is therefore in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) (NPPF) and Policy SD1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

2 The principle of a dwelling in this location would relate to surrounding development and would not result in significant impacts on the local landscape character or scenic quality of the area subject to an appropriately designed dwelling and its siting within the site. As such the proposal complies with Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) and the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (July 2018).

3 The proposed development would, due to its location, preserve the character and appearance of this part of the Weston Corbett and Weston Patrick Conservation Area. For the same reason, the proposals would also preserve the significance of the adjacent Grade II listed building known as Lower House. The proposals would therefore be in accordance with Policy EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan 2011-2029, the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) and the Heritage Supplementary Planning Document (2019).

4 The development would not cause an adverse impact on highway safety, subject to the submission of visibility details, and adequate parking would be provided to serve the development and as such the proposal complies with Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (2018). subject to the following conditions and informatives:-

Informative(s):-

1. 1.1 The applicant's attention is drawn to the fact that the above conditions (if any), must be complied with in full, failure to do so may result in enforcement action being instigated.

1.2 This permission may contain pre-commencement conditions which require specific matters to be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before a specified stage in the development occurs. This means that a lawful commencement of the approved development CANNOT be made until the particular requirements of the pre-commencement conditions have been met.

1.3 The applicant's attention is drawn to the fact that the Local Planning Authority has a period of up to eight weeks to determine details submitted in respect of a condition or limitation attached to a grant of planning permission. It is likely that in most cases the determination period will be shorter than eight weeks, however, the applicant is advised to schedule this time period into any programme of works. A fee will be required for requests for discharge of any consent, agreement, or approval required by a planning condition. The fee chargeable is £116 or £34 where the related permission was for extending or altering a dwelling house or other development in the curtilage of a dwelling house. A fee is payable for each submission made regardless of the number of conditions for which approval is sought. Requests must be made using the standard application form (available online) or set out in writing clearly identifying the relevant planning application and condition(s) which they are seeking approval for.

2. In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following positive and creative manner:-

seeking further information following receipt of the application; considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement (in accordance with paragraphs 54-57).

In this instance:

the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit;

In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.

3. Before undertaking any work which affects a public highway (including a public right of way) you must obtain specific written approval from the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council and enter into or secure any necessary legal agreements or consents to enable the works on a public highway to proceed. It is an offence to carry out unauthorised works on a public highway. This requirement applies not only to the creation of new vehicle accesses involving excavation within a footway, verge or carriageway but also to the stopping of existing access(es) or other works on or to the public highway. For further information, please contact

[email protected]

4. The applicant is advised that the indicative layouts submitted would not be considered acceptable due to the impact the siting of the dwelling would have on the nearby trees on the southern boundary.

5. Any vegetation clearance should ideally be undertaken outside of bird nesting season (March to August inclusive) in order to avoid causing disturbance to nesting birds protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. If vegetation clearance works have to be undertaken during the period then areas should first be checked by a qualified ecologist should evidence of nesting be located then works in that area should not take place until nesting has finished and fledglings have left the nest.

6. The application only considers the access and the principle of a single dwelling. Any design proposed at reserved matters stage will need to be of a suitably high quality, so as to achieve a satisfactory relationship with surrounding heritage assets. It should be noted that heritage impacts may arise during the consideration of any reserved matters application.

7. Any proposals for changing site levels may require planning permission.

2. Application – 20/00246/FUL: Erection of 5 no. B1a office cabins and change of use of existing storage building from Sui Generis to storage (B8) including revised access/parking arrangements and associated works (part retrospective) Site: Country Garden Buildings Turgis Green Hook Hampshire

The Committee discussed the proposed application.

Mixed views were expressed as to whether the proposed extension would be in keeping with the street scene due to its size, scale and bulk and the design of a gable end roof.

Temporary Closure Orders should be applied for at least 6 weeks prior to the commencement of works and details of how to apply can be found at:
