CASE OFFICER

Graham Melton

 

The Officer’s recommendation, as per the agenda and update paper, was proposed by Councillor Cooper and seconded by Councillor A Dowden.  Upon being put to the vote, the motion was carried.

 

PERMISSION subject to:

1.

The development hereby permitted shall be begun within three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with the provision of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.

The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans:

·  Location Plan

·  Block Plan

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

Notes to applicant:

1.

In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with the application and where possible suggesting solutions.

2.

The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition "(the biodiversity gain condition") that development may not begin unless:

(a)  a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and

(b)  the planning authority has approved the plan.

The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if one is required in respect of this permission would be Test Valley Borough Council. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. However, based on the information available this permission is one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements are considered to apply.

3.

The applicants attention is drawn to the contents of the letter received from the Hampshire County Council Archaeologist in relation to the John O’Gaunt’s Park Pale Scheduled Ancient Monument. If any works that impact the scheduled monument are to be carried out, then the applicant would require scheduled monument consent in consultation with Historic England under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979).
