Additional Information

 

 

Proposal:      Variation of condition No's 4 (Operational Management Plan), 9 (Livery/Branding), 10 (Traffic Monitoring) and 28 (Employment and Skills Plan) of planning permission APP/21/00200 and the introduction of a new Community Liaison Strategy Condition.

 

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

 

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

 

(1)        included written deputations received from Mr Comlay, on behalf of the Havant Civic Society and the New Lane Residents,  Ms Saunders, Fellows Planning on behalf of the applicants, and Ms Brooks, on behalf of Havant Friends of the Earth and Havant Climate Alliance;

 

(2)        gave responses to the written deputations referred to in (1) above;

 

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

 

(4)        revised section 7 of the submitted report and the wording of recommended condition 2.

 

In view of the public interest shown in this application, the Chairman, in accordance with the Committee’s adopted deputation procedure, agreed to an extension of the time allowed for deputations as follows:

 

• 5 minutes for the objector

• 5 minutes for those speaking in support

 

The Committee was addressed by

 

(i)         Mr Comlay, Havant Civic Society and the New Lane Residents, who reiterated the issues raised in his written deputation and emphasised that:

 

            (a)        the Council and Hampshire County Council had not received sufficient detail to address concerns raised by him and others and was therefore vulnerable to legal challenge;

           

            (b)        no attention had been paid to the geographical context within which the proposal would operate;

         

          (c)        the identity of the operator was relevant and should be taken into account when considering this application; and

         

          (d)        conditions 4, 9 and 10 were imposed on the understanding that the vehicles would be branded.

 

          (Mr Comlay failed to complete his verbal address within the allotted time)

 

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

 

·                     Advised that his deputation had been confirmed by Havant Civic Society and local residents.

·                     Challenged the traffic level numbers submitted with the original application: the numbers did not show movements of staff when the shifts changed.

·                     acknowledged that the shift hours had been amended but the late shifts changed when public transport was not available

·                     advised that he understood that Hampshire County Council had traffic data for commercial uses, which was requested in the conditions.

·                     Advised that the statement in the submitted documents that branded vehicles would have no relevance to the solution was nonsensical

 

            (During the question and answer session, the Chairman reminded members and the deputee that the purpose of this session was to clarify matters of fact and not to extend the deputation)

 

            At the conclusion of his deputation and question and answer session the Chairman:

 

            (A)       commented on the authenticity of the evidence supporting Mr Comlay’s deputation,

 

            (B)       raised concerns about the comments made relating to officers and Councillors, and

 

            (C)       advised that the Committee was required to determine each application on its own merits.

 

(ii)        Mr Sharland and Ms Fellows, who on behalf of the applicant, reiterated the issues raised in their written deputation and emphasised:

 

          (a)        that the scale of the proposed operation and associated traffic remained unchanged;

 

          (b)        that the proposal was the result of discussions with officers of Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County Council;

 

          (c)        that the traffic movements likely to be generated by the proposal had been rigorously tested to ensure there would be no negative impact;

 

          (d)        that the traffic levels likely to be generated by the proposal would be lower than previous operators

 

          (e)        that a cap would be imposed restricting the number of vehicle movements to 2,415 a day;

 

          (f)         that if granted the permission would run with the use of the land regardless of the occupier; and

 

          (g)        the aims and purpose of the community engagement condition

 

            (Ms Fellows failed to complete her deputation within the allotted time)

 

            (The Chairman advised the Committee that, using her discretionary powers, she had invited Mr Dix, a member of the applicant’s deputation team, to join the meeting virtually to answer questions as he had been requested by the Council not to physically attend the meeting due the Covid restrictions)

 

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

 

·                     the proposed traffic generation data included in the Operational Management Plan included all vehicles entering and leaving the site

 

·                     it was not logical to use residential roads to the South. However, if Crossland Drive was closed for emergency reasons, the Operator might decide to reroute vehicles through residential roads. If this happened the Council would be advised why the diversion route had been chosen.

 

            (During the question and answer session, the members were reminded that the purpose of the session was to clarify matters of fact and should not be used to negotiate conditions or debate the issue with the deputees)

 

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

 

·                     If the application was granted approval, the Operational Management Plan would be approved by Havant Borough Council

 

·                     The Council had negotiated with Hampshire County Highways throughout the application process.

 

·                     The marketing of the employment opportunities to Havant and the Leigh Park area was the closest the Council could get to giving priority to the employment of younger local residents

 

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

 

Although a member expressed concern that the volume of traffic likely to be generated by the proposed would have an impact on the area and the proposal did not appear to offer employment opportunities for 16 to 24 year old children, the same member advised that these concerns did not justify refusal of the application.

 

During the debate the members were reminded that although the deputee had suggested the identity of the operator, the name of the proposed operator was not known.

 

The majority of the Committee considered that:

 

(i)         the amendment was more precise and enforceable;

 

(ii)        as the Highway Authority had raised no objections to the proposal, there were no highways reasons to justify refusal;

 

(iii)        there were sufficient arrangements to track and control the routes of traffic likely to be generated by the proposal;

 

(iv)       recommended Condition 30 needed to be strengthened to give residents the faith that their concerns could be raised and discussed in an appropriate manner; and

 

(v)        The economic benefits outweighed any detrimental impact which could arise from the operation of the proposal. 

 

RESOLVED that application APP/21/01244 be granted permission subject to the following conditions:

 

1          The development must be begun not later than 22 October 2024.

 

            Reason: To comply with the requirements of Sections 73 and 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

The occupier will comply with the monitoring and reporting measures specified in the Operational Management Plan, including the use of independent data monitoring company. Data will be used for monitoring the effectiveness of the Management Plans only.

 

            Reason: To confirm that the traffic levels presented in the Operational Management Plan at planning are reflective of the on-site operation in the interests of amenity and the efficient operation of the Highway Network having due regard to policies CS20 and DM12 together with the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

 

 

 

 

11        Prior to the commencement of any specific phase of development approved by this planning permission (other than demolition, site clearance, or any other date or stage in development as may be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority), an assessment of the nature and extent of contamination at the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

 

            The assessment may comprise separate reports as appropriate, but shall be undertaken by competent persons and unless specifically excluded in writing by the Local Planning Authority, shall include;

 

            1)         Further intrusive site investigation & monitoring based on the proposals given within the EPS Ltd. Phase II Environmental Assessment Report Ref: UK20.5052D iss.2.1 (24/05/2021); to provide sufficient data and information to adequately identify & characterise any physical contamination on or affecting the site, and to inform an appropriate assessment of the risks to all identified receptors.

 

            2)         The results of an appropriate risk assessment based upon (1), and where unacceptable risks are identified, a Remediation Strategy that includes;

 

•       appropriately considered remedial objectives,

•       an appraisal of remedial &/or risk mitigation options, having due regard to sustainability, and;

•       clearly defined proposals for mitigation of the identified risks.

 

            3)         A verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the Remediation Strategy in (2) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action.

 

            All elements shall be adhered to unless agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

 

            Reason: Prior assessment has indicated the likely presence of contaminants within areas of the development land that have not previously been investigated. The site is above the secondary superficial aquifer which would be considered a moderately sensitive controlled water receptor. The chalk principal aquifer and associated SPZ1c occurs at depth beneath the site under a layer of London clay. The chalk would be considered a highly sensitive controlled water receptor. Alongside the health of future occupants of the development land, and the health of occupiers of adjacent land, these receptors could potentially be impacted by contamination present on this site. To ensure that the development does not contribute to-, and is not put at unacceptable risk from- or adversely affected by-, unacceptable levels of contamination, in line with policy DM10 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, DM17 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014 and paragraphs 178-180 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

           

 

 

 

 

12        Prior to occupation of any part of the site, a verification report demonstrating the completion of works set out in the approved remediation strategy and the effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to, and confirmed in writing, by the local planning authority. The report shall include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved verification plan to demonstrate that the site remediation criteria have been met.

 

            Reason: To ensure that the site does not pose any further risk to human health or the water environment by demonstrating that the requirements of the approved verification plan have been met and that remediation of the site is complete. This is in line with policy DM10 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, DM17 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) [2014], and paragraphs 178-180 of the National Planning Policy Framework

 

           

13        If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the local planning authority) shall be carried out until a remediation strategy detailing how this contamination will be dealt with has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved.

 

            Reason: To ensure that the development does not contribute to, and is not put at unacceptable risk from- or adversely affected by-, unacceptable levels of contamination, in line with policy DM10 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011, DM17 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Allocations) 2014, and paragraphs 178-180 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

           

14        Construction of the development (except for demolition and preparation works) shall not commence until details of the proposed means of foul and surface water sewerage disposal have been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority in consultation with Southern Water. The development shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

            Reason: To ensure that drainage of the site is acceptable to prevent flood and pollution risk having due regard to policies CS15 and DM10 of Havant Borough Local Plan 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework

 

           

15        Details for the long-term maintenance arrangements for the surface water drainage system shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior the development being brought into use. The submitted details shall include;

 

a          Maintenance schedules for each drainage feature type and ownership.

b          Details of protection measures.

 

            Reason: To ensure suitable drainage and to avoid flood risk having due regard to policies CS15 and DM10 of Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

 

 

 

16        The drainage system shall be constructed in accordance with the Drainage Strategy Report; ref: C200810-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02. Surface water discharge to the public sewer network shall be limited to 174l/s (1 in 1 year), 395l/s (1 in 30 year) and 395l//s (1 in 100 year). Any changes to the approved documentation must be submitted to and approved in writing by Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Lead Local Flood Authority. Any revised details submitted for approval must include a technical summary highlighting any changes, updated detailed drainage drawings and detailed drainage calculations.

 

            Reason: To ensure suitable drainage and to avoid flood risk having due regard to policies CS15 and DM10 of Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

17        No piling or other deep foundation using penetrative methods shall take place unless and until details of the piling proposals are submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. If the piles/foundations are proposed to penetrate the full depth of the Clay cover at the site a piling risk assessment and method statement detailing the depth and type of piling to be undertaken and the methodology by which such piling will be carried out, including pollution prevention measures shall be submitted. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.         

 

            Reason: Piling or any other foundation designs using penetrative methods can pose a risk to potable supplies from, for example, turbidity, mobilisation of historical contaminants, drilling through different aquifers and creation of preferential pathways for contaminants and having due regard to policy DM10 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

18        Prior to use of the site commencing, an assessment of noise of all fixed plant, machinery and equipment associated with air moving equipment (including fans, ducting and external openings), compressors, generators or plant or equipment of a like kind, to be installed within the site which has the potential to cause noise disturbance to any noise sensitive receivers, shall be submitted to and approved by the local planning authority before installation. The noise emitted from the use of this plant, machinery or equipment shall not exceed the noise criteria provided in Tetra Tech’s Noise Constraints Assessment A118298 rev 3 dated 09/02/21. The assessment must be carried out by a suitably qualified acoustic consultant/engineer and be in accordance with BS4142:2014+A1:2019 ‘Methods for rating and assessing industrial and commercial sound.

 

            Reason: In order to safeguard the amenities of adjoining residential occupiers having due regard to policy DM10 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework. The details are needed prior to the use of the site commencing so that any additional mitigation measures can be incorporated.

           

19        The development including any demolition shall not commence unless and until a pre-commencement site meeting with the site agent, the applicants Arboricultural Consultant and a Havant Borough Council Arboricultural representative has taken place to ensure that all tree protection is correctly in place. The tree protection shall thereafter be retained and maintained as approved for the duration of the demolition works.

 

            Reason: In the interest of the character and appearance of the area and to ensure the retention of important trees and hedges having due regard to policies CS11 and DM8 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

           

20        The development including demolition shall take place in full accordance with the Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Method Statement Rev 02 Lizard Landscape Design and Ecology and Tree Retention and Protection Plan Drawing No. LLD2177-ARB-DWG-002 Rev 04. In addition all works within the Root Protection Areas of retained trees shall be supervised by the Applicants Arboricultural Consultants.

 

            Reason: In the interest of the character and appearance of the area and to ensure the retention of important trees and hedges having due regard to policies CS11 and DM8 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

21        The landscaping works shown on the approved plans Drawing No. LLD2077-LAN-DWG-010 Rev 03 and detailed in Landscape Design Strategy Lizard Design and Ecology LLD2177-LAN-REP-001 Rev 02 shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and in accordance with any timing / phasing arrangements approved or within the first planting season following final occupation of the development hereby permitted, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or shrubs planted or retained in accordance with this condition which are removed, uprooted, destroyed, die or become severely damaged or become seriously diseased within 5 years of planting shall be replaced within the next planting season by trees or shrubs of similar size and species to those originally required to be planted.

 

            Reason: To ensure the appearance of the development is satisfactory and having due regard to policies CS11, CS16 and DM8 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

           

22        Prior to the commencement on a phase of the development (excluding demolition and temporary works), a Draft Design Stage Assessment demonstrating that the development will achieve at minimum 'Excellent’ against the BREEAM Standard, shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

            Reason: To ensure the development contributes to sustainable construction in accordance with policy CS4 of the Havant Borough Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2011 and policy E12 of the Havant Borough Local Plan Submission Version.
