Additional Information

Minutes:

(The site was viewed by the Site Viewing Working Party on 14 October 2021)

The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to grant permission.

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

(1) included written deputations submitted on by Councillor Keast, the applicant’s agent, and on behalf of Havant Friends of the Earth and Havant Climate Alliance;

(2) gave an update on the policy implications of the Panning Inspector’s interim findings on the emerging local plan;

(3) included revised Appendices C, D and E;

(4) summarised additional representations received since the agenda was published;

(5) revised the wording of recommended condition 3; and

(3) gave responses to the questions raised by the Site Viewing Working Party held on the 14 October.

The Committee was addressed by the following deputees:

a) Ms Brooks, Havant Friends of the Earth and Havant Climate Alliance, who reiterated the issues set out in the submitted written deputation;

b) Dr Lyons, the applicant’s agent, who supported the application by reiterating the issues raised in his written deputation and emphasised that:

(a) the report had accepted that the proposal

(b) would not have a significant demonstrable harm, was sustainable development and

In response to questions from members of the Committee, the deputee advised that:

· A cycleway had only been provided to the south of the south as it was anticipated that a majority of the cyclists would wish to travel in this direction. However, the widening of the footpath to the north could be explored to accommodate a cycleway.

· Landscaping would be determined under the reserved matters application. It was anticipated that the approved landscaping scheme would provide for planting along both sides of the Hulbert Road to the east and the A3m.

· Although it was not possible to retain the oak tree on the southern boundary of the site, more trees would be planted as part of the landscaping scheme.

· The proposal would provide the following benefits:

(i) Additional housing;

(ii) A safe pedestrian route from the ASDA roundabout to Dunsbury Park with an additional cycleway from the ASDA roundabout to the site; and

(iii) CIL funding, which the Council could use to provide community facilities

· It was appreciated that there were few residents nearby. However, this degree of isolation made it a good site for housing development.

· It was considered that the site was in a highly sustainable location

· The mix of housing would be determined at the reserved matters application

c) Councillor Keast, who reiterated the issues raised in his written deputation and emphasised that if the existing habitat of the dormice was destroyed, the dormice would not survive.

In response to the issues raised in the written deputations and deputations made at the meeting, the officers advised that:

Noise Impact

· the Environmental Health Officers had, at the request of the Site Viewing Working Party, inspected their complaints records and had not found any sequence of complaints relating to noise generated by traffic from residents of similar sites within the Borough where the development was located close to major roads

· It was proposed to create a physical barrier on the application site to reduce the impact of noise generated by adjoining roads

Trees, Bats and Dormice

· The Council’s Ecology consultant would seek to ensure that appropriate compensation habitat would be provided in the available areas on the site.

Local Plan Matters

· Drew the members attention to the Interim Findings of the Inspector on the Local Plan and its impact on the status of the plan

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

· It was proposed to provide a crossing to Dunsbury Park, as part of the Dunsbury Park development

· The cycleway would connect with the highway network at the ASDA roundabout.

· The Education Authority had advised that a contribution towards education was not required for this proposal and this decision would not be reviewed at the reserved matters stage

· The Highways Authority was satisfied that a footway/cycleway be provided to the south of the development and a footway to the north

· The Committee was required to determine the application as submitted. However, it could request the Highway Authority to reconsider providing a footway/cycleway to the north of the site

The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.

During the debate, it was acknowledged that there was a need for homes and that pressure had put on the Council to deliver housing.

During the debate concerns were raised: about the safety of the access; that the traffic likely to be generated by this development would exacerbate the existing problems associated with the Hulbert Road to the detriment of the other users of this highway; and on the impact of noise from the major roads adjoining this development.

However, the majority of the Committee considered that:

(i) the proposal would introduce a footway and or cycleway linking the ASDA roundabout with Dunsbury Park;

(ii) the proposed access was acceptable due to the existing speed limit on the Hulbert Road and the measures introduced at the ASDA roundabout to reduce the speed of traffic on this and other feeder roads; and

(iii) the proposed conditions addressed the concerns raised.

The Committee was reminded that apart from the access arrangements all other matters were reserved.

RESOLVED that application APP/20/00441 be granted permission subject to:

(A) The completion of a Section 106 Agreement under the Town and Country Planning Acts, to secure the matters as set out in paragraph 7.167 above; and

Reason: To contribute to our knowledge and understanding of our past by ensuring that opportunities are taken to capture evidence from the historic environment and to make this publicly available having due regard to Policy CS11 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, Policy DM20 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014, Policy E13 of the Submission Havant Borough Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

34 The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until:

a) A water efficiency calculation in accordance with the Government's National Calculation Methodology for assessing water efficiency in new dwellings has been undertaken which demonstrates that no more than 110 litres of water per person per day shall be consumed within the development, and this calculation has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority; and

b) All measures necessary to meet the approved water efficiency calculation have been installed.

Reason: There is existing evidence of high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water environment with evidence of eutrophication at some European designated nature conservation sites in the Solent catchment. The PUSH Integrated Water Management Strategy has identified that there is uncertainty as to whether new housing development can be accommodated without having a detrimental impact on the designated sites within the Solent. Further detail regarding this can be found in the appropriate assessment that was carried out regarding this planning application. To ensure that the proposal may proceed as sustainable development, there is a duty upon the local planning authority to ensure that sufficient mitigation is provided against any impacts which might arise upon the designated sites. In coming to this decision, the Council have had regard to Regulation 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, Policy CS11 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, and Policies E14, EX1 and E12 of the Submission Havant Borough Local Plan.

Post occupancy

35 At all times following occupation of the development hereby approved, all measures necessary to meet the approved water efficiency calculation shall be maintained so as to ensure that no more than 110 litres per person per day shall be consumed in the development in perpetuity.
