The Committee considered the written report and recommendation of the Head of Development Management together with the updates circulated at the meeting. The committee was advised that the update sheet contained revised conditions, updates on proposed materials and comments from Urban Design.

Arising from questions from the committee, it was advised that;

·         The proposed UPVC windows would be sympathetic to the appearance of the area due to their design and fit;

·         Once the highways in the MDA had been formally adopted as public highways, they could be subject to parking enforcement;

·         Each unit would have cycle storage facilities; and

·         The contribution to affordable housing was inline with policy at 40%.

The committee was addressed by the following deputation:

Mrs Aaron Wright, representing Barratt David Wilson Homes, who spoke in support of the application for the following reasons:

a.    The proposed scheme was inline with the design code and was sympathetic to the character of the area.

b.    The landscape design was inclusive of a large range of biodiversity adding range and character to the area,

c.    The proposal was supported by the Urban Design Officer,

d.    A robust car parking strategy had been devised which adhered to the parking policy in addition to access points being,

e.    The proposal was a high quality, sustainable development.

In response to questions raised by the committee, Mrs Wright advised that, if the proposal was approved, Barratt David Wilson Homes would look to begin development at the earliest possible opportunity.

The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the view raised by the deputy. The Committee were in agreement that the proposal was of a high quality design, with an appropriate spread of affordable housing and an agreeable affordable housing contribution. It was therefore

Proposal:             Deed of Variation

The Committee considered the written report and recommendation of the Head of Development Management together with the updates issued at the meeting.

The committee were advised of the update sheet which included a resolution from the West of Waterlooville forum that the forum supported the proposal to provide community facilities in two areas.

The committee invited Lisa Turley to answer questions and provide clarification on issues which included:

·         Highways access issues,

·         Proposed routes to local amenities,

·         Overall site infrastructure.

·         Additional car parking availability, with overflow facilities when appropriate.

Although concern was raised over the proposal of Winchester City Council taking responsibility for open spaces, the committee found no reasons for refusal. It was therefore

RESOLVED that members approved the principle of changing the section 106 agreement set out in the report and delegated the detailed wording of the text to be inserted in the deed of variation for final agreement by:

·         Head of Legal and Head of Development Management for Winchester City Council

·         Head of Legal and Head of Planning Services for Havant Borough Council

·         Head of Law and Governance and Monitoring Officer for Hampshire County Council
