|
CASE
OFFICER
|
Ms Katie
Nethersole
|
|
|
|
REFUSED
for the reasons:
|
|
1.
|
Insufficient information has been provided in
relation to waste water created from the proposed development to
demonstrate that the development would achieve nutrient neutrality.
Without this there would be an unreasonable likelihood of harm
caused to the Solent’s
protected habitats and bird
species. The development thereby conflicts with policies E5 and E8
of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016.
|
|
2.
|
The
proposed development would have a harmful adverse impact on the
significance and setting of the affected heritage assets. The
proposed dwellings would alter the existing open, domestic
character and appearance of the existing site as a walled garden
and would therefore lose its historic and visual connection with
Bury Hill Farmhouse. Bury Hill Farmhouse is a prominent building
within the Conservation Area as such there would be unacceptable
harm from the proposal upon these heritage assets. Furthermore, the
proposal would harm the visual transition the site currently makes
between the countryside and more developed parts of the
conservation area. As such, the proposed development would be
contrary to policies E1, E2 and E9 of the Test Valley Borough
Revised Local Plan 2016.
|
|
3.
|
The
proposed development would result in refuse collection arrangements
that would not be safe or efficient and would not comply with the
minimum drag distances in conflict with the guidance as set out in
the Manual for Streets. The proposed development would therefore be
contrary to policy T1 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan
2016.
|
|
4.
|
The
application has not fully assessed the proposed development and its
impact on the existing trees on site. As a result of the
development would lead to a loss of important trees that make a
significant contribution to the character and appearance of the
site and its surroundings. As such the development would therefore
conflict with policies E2 and E5 of the Test Valley Borough Revised
Local Plan 2016.
|
|
5.
|
The
application has not been supported by a Preliminary Ecological
Assessment to fully assess the potential impact that the
development would have on biodiversity. The trees to be removed and
the historic wall have the potential to support foraging and
roosting bats and therefore without a full assessment it is likely
that the development would have an adverse impact on these
protected species. In the light of insufficient information being
provided the proposal is therefore in conflict with policy E5 of
the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016.
