PROPOSAL

Redevelopment for retirement living accommodation comprising 47 retirement apartments including communal facilities, access, car parking and landscaping

AMENDMENTS

Amended plans received 17.07.23, 09.08.23 & 23.11.23

CASE OFFICER

Paul Goodman

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 lost.  A proposal for refusal was proposed by Councillor Gidley and seconded by Councillor Bundy.  Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.

REFUSED for the reasons:

1.

By virtue of the scale, bulk and design of the proposal the development would be detrimental to the special architectural and historic importance of the setting of the Romsey Conservation Area and the setting of heritage assets. This harm is compounded further when the proposal is viewed from the roundabout junction of the A27 and Palmerston Street.  It is acknowledged that the development would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of these designated heritage assets and the conservation area. However, the public benefits arising from the development would not outweigh this real and identified harm. As such, the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policies E1 and E9 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

2.

The proposed development by virtue of the size, scale, mass and proximity to dwellings on Palmerston Street will result in a sense of enclosure and overbearing impact on 38-48 Palmerston Street & 30-36 Palmerston Street to the detriment of the residential amenities of these dwellings, contrary to policy LHW4 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

3.

In the absence of a legal agreement to secure the provision of and financial contribution towards affordable housing, the proposal is contrary to policy COM7 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the Infrastructure and Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document.

4.

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 securing 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).

5.

The application site lies within close proximity to the New Forest SPA and Solent and Southampton Water SPA which are designated for their 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' and Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy (2017). As such,  ...  view the full minutes text for item 494.
