Woody Lodge, Alresford Drove, South Wonston, Winchester

Case number: 19/01767/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 inside and 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 (The Old Farmhouse, Cripstead Lane, Winchester - Case number: 19/01751/HOU) permission be refused as the proposed garage/ancillary structure did not accord with the local distinctiveness of the area in public views of the Conservation Area and did not respond positively to the character, appearance and variety of the local area in terms of design, scale and layout.  It was therefore contrary to DM15 and DM16 of the Local Plan.  Furthermore the balcony resulted in an adverse impact to the residential amenities of the occupiers of Mole End (5 Cripstead Lane) by overlooking and was therefore contrary to DM27 (vii) and the Council’s High Quality Places SPD and had an unacceptable impact on the historic settlement pattern, views and roofscape and did not relate well to other buildings in terms of height, massing, materials, plan form and roofscape and was therefore contrary to DM27 (i-ii) with the precise wording delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.

(ii)           That in respect of item 8 (The Old Farmhouse, Cripstead Lane, Winchester - Case number: 19/01752/LIS) permission be refused for the reasons outlined in respect of case number 19/01751/HOU as the proposals did not benefit from planning permission and were therefore unacceptable with the precise reasons and wording for the refusal of Listed Building Consent delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.

(iii)         That in respect of item 9 (Black Rat, 88 Chesil Street, Winchester – Case no. 19/01072/FUL) permission be granted subject to conditions to include that no works beyond ground works be commenced before details of materials (to complement those in the area) had been received and that samples of materials be received including panels, doors, windows, joinery details at a scale of 1-5; details of working hours, arrangements for construction traffic (via Hampshire County Council) and times of operation of the kitchen extractors with the precise details delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.

(iv)         That in respect of item 10 (Black Rat, 88 Chesil Street, Winchester – Case no. 19/01073/LIS) permission be granted with the precise details delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.

(v)           That in respect of item 11 (Hurst farm, Hurst Lane, Owslebury) permission be refused due to the visual intrusion resulting from the positioning of the barn and manege in the countryside and the impact on the amenity of residents of neighbouring properties due to the close proximity of the barn, with the precise details delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.

(vi)         That in respect of item 14 (New Barns Farm, Drove Road, Southwick) permission be granted with Conditions that the use be restricted to use as a gym/personal training studio only with hours of operation between 6:30am to 9:30pm 7 days per week, with details of lighting if proposed to be submitted with precise wording being delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment.

(vii)        That in respect of item 17 (2 Chapel Cottages, Hill Lane, Colden Common) permission be granted for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and subject to an additional condition that there should be no internal boarding at first floor level of the garage to prevent it being used so that it could result in overlooking, with the precise details delegated to the Service Lead Built Environment in consultation with the Chair.
