Proposal:       Berewood Phase 9b. Reserved Matters Application comprising 75 residential dwellings, associated amenity space, access, garages, parking, internal roads, pathways and associated landscaping. (Matters of layout, appearance, access, landscape and scale pursuant to application ref: 10/02862/OUT). Discharge of conditions 3, 6, (ii) a) b) d) f) h) i) j) k) I) m) n), 11, 18 (AFFECTS THE SETTING OF A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY).

 

Parish:           Southwick And Widley. Wickham Ward.

 

The Committee considered the written report from the Principal Planning Officer and the recommendation to grant permission.

 

The Committee also received an update sheet, circulated prior to the meeting.

 

Following questions from the Committee, officers advised the following:

 

·         The total number of houses across Phase 9 would be finalised with the submission of plans for Phase 9c. Any increase in the total number of houses exceeding that permitted in the outline planning permission would require a new planning permission.

 

·         The density of homes in Phase 9b would be 34 homes per hectare.

 

·         The external materials were consistent with other developments on the MDA and were of a good quality.

 

·         Roof designs across the proposed buildings were similar and consistent, as per the guidance of design codes. There was however some variety in roof design due to differing storey height and the presence on some buildings of dormer windows.

 

·         There were no specific outdoor drying areas for the flats situated to the north of Phase 9b.

 

·         Both hard and soft landscaping plans were sympathetic to the area and were considered to be of a high quality by officers. Soft landscaping plans highlighted a number of attractive planting areas, while paved courtyard areas were proposed to separate stretches of tarmacked paving.

 

·         A management company would be responsible for the maintenance of car parks and courtyard areas.

 

·         Parking for the proposed allotments and nature reserve to the north of Phase 9b would be considered as part of the planning application for the next phase of works. There would also be vehicular access through Phase 9a to the allotments and nature reserve.

 

·         It was the intention that garages be used to house vehicles and remain this use as per Condition 3. Low road speeds and the anticipated low levels of traffic would also reduce the negative impacts of any triple parking which were generally away from the main road.

 

·         The application included provision for a total of 180 parking spaces (including garages).

 

·         In terms of affordable housing, 1 and 2 bedroom properties were in the highest demand and this was reflected in the number available as part of the affordable housing contribution.

 

The Committee was then addressed by the following deputees:

 

1.    Mr Henderson and Mr Lee, who supported the officer’s recommendation for the following reasons:

 

a)    The density of homes was consistent with the envisaged plan for the site and would represent a balanced use of the land.

 

b)    The proposed external materials to be used were of a high quality and these would not be harsh in colour.

 

c)    The proposed flats would be large in size and would be able to accommodate the needs of potential residents.

 

d)    Parking had been sited predominantly to the side of buildings, as parking in front of properties was less desirable.

 

In response to questions from the Committee, the deputees advised that:

 

·         All proposed properties would have secondary access.

 

·         Redrow Homes had submitted applications in relation to Phases 9a and 9b, while applications relating to Phase 9c would be submitted by a different developer.

 

·         Street names had not been agreed. Concerns over consultation with local Councillors and linking the names to the local area would be noted.

 

·         All properties would be sold freehold.

 

In response to questions from the Committee, officers further advised that:

 

·         Condition 7 would ensure no overbearing extensions on corner plots within Phase 9b.

 

 

The Committee discussed the application together with the information provided by officers and deputees. Some concern was raised over the potential incremental increase in housing numbers over Phase 9. However on balance, the Committee were happy that all efforts had been made to ensure an attractive development and were minded to agree with the officer’s recommendation. It was therefore

 

RESOLVED that the Head of Planning Services for Winchester City Council be authorised to grant permission for Application 17/02957/REM, subject to the following conditions:

 

01 The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following list of approved plans and documents;

02 The unallocated and visitor parking spaces shown on drawing number RWBWOODP9B/GA/01 rev F by Mayer Brown shall be retained and made available for parking purposes at all times to all residents and visitors to the development with no physical or legal restriction on who may use such spaces.

 

02 Reason: To ensure that adequate parking spaces are retained for the development (in accordance with Winchester City Council's Supplementary Planning Document Residential Parking Standards December 2009) in the interests of highway safety.

 

03 The parking areas including the garages shall be provided in accordance with the approved plans before the dwellings are first occupied and thereafter permanently retained and used only for the purpose of accommodating private motor vehicles or other storage purposes incidental to the use of the dwelling houses as a residences.

 

03 Reason: To ensure that adequate parking spaces are retained for the development (in accordance with Winchester City Council's Supplementary Planning Document Residential Parking Standards December 2009) in the interests of highway safety.

 

04 Prior to the operation of any street lights on site, details of ecological mitigation and in particular the need for lighting cowls shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

04 Reason: To ensure that the lights are not detrimental to the ecological interest on the site.

 

05 Prior to any work above damp proof course commencing, details of a scheme for protecting the proposed dwelling from external noise shall be submitted, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such a scheme shall ensure that, upon completion of the development, the following noise criteria (as recommended in BS8233:2014) shall be met:

i. all bedrooms shall achieve an 8-hour LAeq (23:00 to 07:00) of 30dB(A)

ii. all living rooms and bedrooms shall achieve a 16-hour LAeq (07:00 to 23:00) of 35dB(A)

iii. all private amenity spaces shall achieve a 16-hour LAeq (07:00 to 23:00) of 55dB(A)

 

05 Reason: To ensure that acceptable noise levels within the dwellings and the curtilages of the dwellings are not exceeded.

 

06 A noise validation report, demonstrating compliance with these noise criteria, shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority before any dwelling is occupied. This assessment shall be conducted with windows open for ventilation, unless mechanical ventilation has been provided, in which case these tests shall be performed with such mechanical ventilation running. Such noise protection measures shall thereafter be maintained and operated in accordance with the approved scheme.

 

06 Reason: To ensure that acceptable noise levels within the dwellings and the curtilages of the dwellings are not exceeded.

 

07 Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any order revoking and re enacting that order with or without modification) no development permitted by Part 1 of Class A of Schedule 2 in respect of plots 60, 65, 66, 90, 92, 103, 104, 109, 110 and 118 (as shown on approved plan Planning Layout CB_20_106_9B_201 Rev P) shall be carried out without the prior written consent of the Local Planning Authority.
