CASE OFFICER

Sarah Barter

 

REFUSED for the reasons:

1.

The proposed development at Plots 1-3, by reason of their height, siting and scale would result in an unacceptable enclosing and overbearing impact on Numbers 10, 12, 18, 20 & 22 Tadfield Road when viewed from their gardens and habitable rooms.  The benefits of the scheme advanced by the applicant are acknowledged, however, the Council can currently demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply and there is therefore no pressing need to allow further housing. Furthermore, the economic benefits are generic and could be delivered on other sites that do not result in conflict with the development plan and the proposal offers no meaningful bio diversity net gain. The benefits advanced do not outweigh the real and severe harm identified to the residential amenities of the properties listed above. As a consequence, the proposed development does not sufficiently provide for the amenity of these neighbouring properties, contrary to Policies LHW4 and COM2 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

2.

In the absence of a legal agreement to secure and monitor the proposed mitigation measures enabling the achievement of nitrate neutrality, the proposed development by means of its nature, location and scale could have likely significant affects upon the nearby Solent and Southampton Water European Designated Site which is designated for its conservation importance. Consequently, the application 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).

3.

The site lies within close proximity to the New Forest SPA which is designated for its conservation importance.  In the absence of a legal agreement, the application has failed to secure the required mitigation measures, in accordance with the Council's adopted 'New Forest SPA Mitigation - Interim Framework'.  As such, it is not possible to conclude that the development would not have an in-combination likely significant effect on the interest features of this designated site, as a result of increased recreational pressure.  The proposed development is therefore contrary to the Council's adopted 'New Forest SPA Mitigation - Interim Framework', Policy E5 of the adopted Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).
