Additional documents:
Minutes: Councillor Pike presented a report to Cabinet providing an update on the targeted review of the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and the consultation responses received and seeking a recommendation to full Council for approval. Councillor Pike reported that the Operations and Place Shaping Scrutiny Board had reviewed and supported the proposals.
Cabinet members were minded to endorse the proposed approach to future parking standards in the Waterlooville and Havant Town Centres, in recognition of their very different characteristics in terms of accessibility to public transport. Cabinet members were mindful that new development in Waterlooville, in particular, would require a level of parking that would attract younger people to the area and suggested additional wording to paragraph 3.05 of the SPD as set out below for recommendation to Council.
RECOMMENDED to Full Council that it:
(1)
notes the responses received to the recent
consultation on the Parking Supplementary Planning Document
(Appendix A);
(2)
notes the need for a wider review of the Parking
Supplementary Planning Document following the Examination of the
Havant Borough Local Plan 2036;
(3)
adopts the Parking Supplementary Planning Document
(at appendix C), subject to the additional wording to paragraph
3.05 of the SPD so as to read: (4) delegates authority to the Planning Policy Manager, in consultation with the Cabinet Lead for Planning, Regeneration and Communities, to make any necessary amendments to the documents listed above. These shall be limited to the inclusion of a contents page and page numbers, factual updates, correction of minor errors, typographical errors and other minor changes that do not change the meaning of the material. |

Old Bedhampton Conservation Area Appraisal PDF 187 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: Councillor Pike presented a report to Cabinet providing an update on the review of the Old Bedhampton Conservation Area and seeking a recommendation to Council to approve the Character Appraisal and Management Plan. Councillor Pike reported that the Operations and Place Shaping Scrutiny Board had reviewed the proposal, although had voted not to support the officer recommendations and make no positive recommendation to the Cabinet. It was also highlighted that members of the Cabinet had visited the area to see at first hand the issues that had been raised by local residents during the consultation process.
Cabinet received deputations from Councillor Gary Robinson, Mr Edward Rees and Mr Keith Mayor. Councillor Sarah Milne was invited to make a statement to Cabinet on behalf of the chairman of the Operations and Place Shaping Scrutiny Board. The text of these deputations and the statement are published on the Council’s website alongside these minutes.
In presenting the report, Councillor Pike recognised that local residents held strong views and confirmed that the officers had taken on board all representations received and considered all the issues at length. The Council had a statutory duty follow national guidance and, in his view as Cabinet Lead, Councillor Pike was satisfied that the proposal now before the Cabinet provided the best means of protecting this special area within the Borough.
In supporting the proposals as set out in the report, and having viewed the area, Cabinet members were minded to endorse the view that the Manor Farm Buildings were of sufficient merit as to be included within the Conservation Area and this was accepted by Councillor Pike.
