CASE OFFICER

Emma Jones

REFUSED for the reasons:

1.

The amount of development proposed, together with its layout, appearance and scale, would be cramped and intensive and would not integrate, respect or complement the character of the area, and it would have a detrimental impact on the appearance of the immediate area and the landscape character of the area.  In addition, the proposed development has not been designed or located to ensure that the health and future retention of important landscape features including protected trees would not be prejudiced, there is limited scope for the provision of new landscape features to enable the proposed development to positively integrate into the landscape character of the area, and arrangements for the long term management and maintenance of the existing and proposed landscaping have not been secured.  The proposed development would be contrary to Policies E1 and E2 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016 and Policies EN2 and HD4 of the Chilbolton Neighbourhood Development Plan.

2.

The proposed development would result in the loss of habitats at the site, with no satisfactory justification or suitable mitigation measures being provided.  Furthermore, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposals would not impact adversely on roosting or foraging bats at the site, or on ecological linkages with the nearby West Down Nature Reserve. The proposed development would not conserve, restore, or enhance biodiversity, and would not satisfy the three tests required to be considered in respect of protected species and the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (as amended). The proposed development would fail to comply with Policy E5 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and Policy HD4 of the Chilbolton Neighbourhood Development Plan.

3.

Insufficient information has been provided with the application to demonstrate that the proposal can achieve nutrient neutrality.  As such, it cannot be concluded that the proposal will not result in a likely harmful significant effect on the internationally designated nature conservation sites in the Solent, in accordance with the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and as advised within guidance from Natural England (updated March 2022).  As such, the proposal fails to comply with Policies E5 and E8 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).

4.

It has not been demonstrated that refuse vehicles would be able to safely and efficiently manoeuvre within the site without conflicts arising with the proposed buildings and/or landscaping.  The proposed internal layout of the development would therefore not be safe, functional or accessible for all users, and the proposal would be contrary to Policy  ...  view the full minutes text for item 252.
