Proposal:       Erection of a 64 bed older persons care home (Use Class C2) together with construction of new access road, car/cycle parking, drainage works, hard/soft landscaping and other associated infrastructure.

 

The Committee considered the written report and recommendation to grant permission.

 

The Committee received the supplementary information, circulated prior to the meeting which included the following documents:

 

(i)           a deputation from Ms Brooks;

 

(ii)          a deputation from Ms Hume;

 

(iii)         a deputation from Mr Marshall; and

 

(iv)         a revised deputation from Ms Brooks

 

The Committee was addressed by the following deputees:

 

(A)         Ms Books on behalf of the Havant Friends of the Earth and Havant Climate Alliance, advised that although the alliance agreed that there was a need for a care home and also agreed to the low carbon proposals and use of solar panels, it objected to the proposal for the reasons set out in her submitted revised written deputation, which were read out by Ms Brooks; and

 

(B)         Mr Marshall, who supported the application by highlighting the following issues set out in his written deputation:

 

              (a)         the applicants were specialist care home providers, who had identified the need in the Borough for a care home specialising in dementia and personal care for older people;

 

              (b)         the home would be accredited with the Care Quality Commission not just in terms of the care offered, but the premises themselves;

 

              (c)          the proposal would free up 35 homes;

 

              (d)         financial contributions through a Section 106 agreement had been agreed with the Council;

 

              (e)         the applicants were willing to comply with the Councils nitrate mitigations scheme;

 

              (f)          the site was accessibly located, in an area of future growth, yet offered a suitably serene environment for residents, being nestled amongst woodland;

 

              (g)         the site formed part of proposed housing allocation H25, and the remaining elements to the north and west would be safeguarded for future housing;

 

              (h)         the proposal would create employment opportunities in the area;

 

              (i)           the grounds provided generous and well-landscaped spaces for residents to enjoy and the gardens were fully enclosed by boundary fencing thereby making the facility secure;

 

              (j)           one of the key objectives would be to provide on-site services thereby reducing the need for the residents to use shops or services outside of the facility; and

 

              (k)          terms had been agreed with the proposed occupiers, HMT, to take a long lease on the home. It was anticipated the facility would be opened for local people within two years, if permission was granted.

 

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

 

·                         The bedrooms ranged between 16.2 m² or 14.6 m² in size and were considered acceptable by the applicant;

 

·                         The Committee could amend condition 4 to include a provision of more robust evergreen trees.

 

·                         The arboricultural report was included in the application papers.

 

·                         Some of the car parking spaces were beneath trees.

 

·                         The recommended conditions were set out on pages 92  ...  view the full minutes text for item 30.
