Decision details

Item 13:  Careful removal and rebuilding of existing piggery walls to convert to one-bedroom holiday let.

Manor House Barn, High Street, Meonstoke, Southampton

Case number: SDNP/18/03228/HOUS

The Head of Development Management referred Members to the Update Sheet which stated that the applicant had recently submitted details of foul and surface water drainage which had been agreed with the Council’s Drainage Engineer.

Details of low transmittance grey glass for the conservation style roof lights had also been submitted which would reduce the light transmittance to 44% (clear glass was rated at 80%).  This was considered acceptable and condition 5 had therefore been amended from being a pre-commencement condition to requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the submitted and approved details.

The amended wording of the conditions is set out below:

3.         The foul and surface water drainage shall be implemented in accordance with the following approved details prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved:

18-1240-FD02- Foul Drainage Details

18-1240-FD01B- Storm and Foul Drainage Plan

18-1240-SW01- The Piggery Roof Soakaway

Reason:  To ensure satisfactory provision of foul and surface water drainage.

5.         Low transmittance tinted grey glass shall be used for the Conservation Roof Lights hereby approved and shall be installed in accordance with the submitted details from The Rooflight Company (ref: CPR-DOP-CR-005A-2013-07-01).  The glazing shall be retained thereafter at all times.

Reason: To minimise light intrusion in the South Downs National Park which is a designated International Dark Sky Reserve.

At the conclusion of debate, the Committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and the Update Sheet.
