CASE OFFICER

REFUSED for the reasons:

1.

The proposed development, and specifically Blocks 7 and 9, would by virtue of the overall building height at those points (resulting from the combination of the physical structures themselves and the positioning on higher ground level relative to the original ground level) would lead to a feeling of overbearing giving rise to an adverse and detrimental effect on the living conditions of neighbouring properties at No.’s 21 and 55 Flexford Close. In this respect the proposal would be to the detriment of those residents contrary to Policy LHW4 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

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 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 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 information relating to the development achieving phosphate 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).
