Case number: 19/02175/TPO

 

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.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the decisions taken on the Planning Applications in relation to those applications outside the area of the South Downs National Park be agreed as set out in the decision relating to each item, subject to the following:

 

(i)               That in respect of item 7 (Whiteley Town Centre, Whiteley Way, Whiteley - Case number: 19/01194/FUL) permission be granted for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and the Update Sheet and subject to the inclusion of an additional condition on the inclusion of a Development Phasing Plan.

 

(ii)              That in respect of item 8 (Shady Oaks Farm, Durley Brook Road, Durley - Case number: 19/02419/FUL) that permission be granted for the storage only of up to a maximum of 40 caravans/campervans and for no other purpose as an exception to policy MTRA4.  There was an operational need for such storage in the countryside as there were no alternative sites in the vicinity and the application demonstrated unique circumstances as this was a low key storage facility with no loss of agricultural land.  Its position would not be intrusive as the visual harm could be mitigated with conditions relating to a lighting plan and a robust landscape scheme with long term management.

 

(iii)             That in respect of item 11 (Land To Rear Of 5 Hillside Kitnocks Hill Curdridge - Case number: 19/02468/FUL) permission be refused as the application site was in the countryside and to urbanise it as a garden would be to the detriment of the landscape character and appearance of the area.

 

(iv)              That in respect of item 12 (Land To The East Of Sun Lane, Alresford - Case number: 17/01528/OUT permission be granted for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and the Update Sheet subject to the Service Lead - Legal being given delegated authority to update or amend the Heads of Terms of the Section 106 Agreement including Clause 9 relating to the Service Delivery Management Plan to be amended to change the word “should” to “must” or wording of similar effect.
