Applications inside the area of the South Downs National Park (SDNP):

Item 12:  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/18/03229/LIS

The Head of Development Management referred Members to the Update Sheet which set out that the applicant had recently submitted a materials schedule which had been agreed with the Council’s Conservation Officer.  However, it was considered important for a sample panel of the brick and flint work to be constructed on site so that it could be inspected and approved by the Conservation Officer.  Condition 3 had therefore been amended to reflect these changes.

The applicant had also submitted joinery details which had been agreed with the Council’s Conservation Officer.  Condition 4 had therefore been amended from being a pre-commencement condition to one requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the submitted and approved details.

Details of grilles/vents had also been submitted and approved by the Council’s Conservation Officer.  The references to grilles and vents in conditions 5 and 6 had therefore been omitted.

The amended wording of the conditions is set out below:

3.         The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved HJ Concepts Materials Schedule.  No development shall take place above foundations until a sample panel of the brick and flint work has been constructed on site and inspected and approved by the Conservation Officer.  The applicant shall contact the Conservation Officer to arrange a site inspection.

Reason: To preserve the setting of the listed buildings and to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area in accordance with Policy CP20 of the Joint Core Strategy 2013.

4.         The windows and doors hereby approved shall be installed in accordance with the approved joinery details as shown on drawing 18-1240-WD01.  Development shall proceed and be maintained in accordance with the approved details unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To preserve the setting of the listed buildings and to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area in accordance with Policy CP20 of the Joint Core Strategy 2013.

5.         No new security alarms, lighting, cameras or other appurtenances shall be fixed on the external faces of the building unless shown on the drawings hereby approved.

Reason: To preserve the setting of the adjacent listed buildings and to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area in accordance with Policy CP20 of the Joint Core Strategy 2013.

6.         No new plumbing, pipes, soil-stacks, flues or ductwork shall be fixed on the external faces of the building unless shown on the drawings hereby approved.
