CASE OFFICER

Miss Sarah Barter

 

 

 

 

REFUSED for the reasons:

 

1.

The proposed development results in the direct loss of an established, and well used allotment site that is meeting, and would continue to meet, local demand for this community resource. In considering the location of the proposed new allotment site, this site:

(i)  sits at a higher and exposed ground level (elevated topography);

(ii)  is proposed to be accessed by a convoluted and long torturous footway route through the new housing development;

(iii)  is proposed to also be accessed via Furzedown Road that does not, and will not, have a pedestrian footway separated from vehicular traffic; and

(iv)  is accessed via Furzedown Road that has a particularly steep incline;

means that the location of the alternative allotment does not represent an equivalent or better provision to that which it replaces. The result is that the new site is not as inclusive to the community taking into account age, disability or levels of car ownership/mobility. Consequently the loss of an established allotment site within the settlement results in the unacceptable loss of allotments to serve the needs of the community to the detriment of their health, welfare and leisure needs, contrary to Policy LHW1(f) of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and Paragraph 97 of the National planning Policy Framework. In reaching this conclusion the Council recognises the social, environmental and economic benefits that might otherwise arise from the proposal, including the delivery of both open market and

affordable housing to meet the general housing requirements of the Borough, but these factors are not sufficient to outweigh this principle issue.

 

 

2.

The proposed development by means of its nature, location and scale could have likely significant effects upon the nearby Solent and Southampton Water European Designated Site which is designated for its conservation importance. In the absence of a completed legal agreement securing the proposed off site mitigation, the applicant has failed to satisfy the Council that the proposal would not adversely affect the special interest of the Solent and Southampton Water European Designated Site, therefore the application is contrary to Policies COM2 and E5 of the adopted Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).

AMENDMENTS

None

 

CASE OFFICER

Miss Ash James

 

 

 

REFUSED for the reason:

 

 

1.

The proposed extensions would result in an increase in bulk at ground floor and first floor level within close proximity of the boundary with the neighbouring dwelling at 102 Rownhams Road. This increase in bulk would result in the development being significantly overbearing from both the garden and from the window serving the kitchen/dining area of this neighbouring dwelling. In addition the increase bulk would result in an unacceptable loss of daylight to the window serving the kitchen. The proposals would thus have an adverse impact in terms of both over bearing and loss of day light on the amenities and living conditions of the occupiers of this neighbouring dwelling, contrary to Policy LHW4 (c) of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

Suspension of Rule 9
