CASE OFFICER

Katie Andrew

 

 

Had the Local Planning Authority been in a position to determine the application the formal decision of the Council would have been REFUSE for the following reasons:
Delegated to officers to form the exact wording of additional reasons for refusal to reflect the view of the committee

1.

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', 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).

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. Insufficient information has been submitted with the application to allow the Council to reasonably carry out an appropriate assessment of the application as required under Regulation 63 of the Habitats Regulations. In the absence of information relating to the development achieving nutrient neutrality or onsite/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).

3.

The proposed development, despite an indication on the submitted first floor plans to the contrary, is considered to nevertheless represent a 2-bed dwelling and as such the Local Planning Authority considers that it appropriate to consider the merits of the proposal on this basis. The work necessary to enable the provision of a second bedroom at first floor level to enable what is an unusually large bedroom, en-suite and family bathroom (as shown on the plans) into a second bedroom would be both minimal and include operations that would not constitute “development” for the purposes of Section 55 of the Act. In addition the Local planning Authority considers that the planning history of the site indicates a clear intention to develop a new dwelling of multiple bedrooms in this  ...  view the full minutes text for item 378.
