1. Application – 19/01637/FUL: Erection of 2 no. 2 bed dwellings and 2 no. 3 bed dwellings for older persons independent living to include associated landscaping and works. Site: Land To West Of 41 Main Road Tadley Hampshire RG26 3NJ The Committee considered the report set out on pages 99 to 131 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters discussed at the meeting. The Committee discussed the proposed application and commended the scheme for the purpose built dwellings which they considered to be of a good design and layout for independent living for older people. They said that the scheme would met a local need and would provide an opportunity for older people to move and subsequently free up other properties. It was recognised that there would be loss of biodiversity habitat from the site but on this occasion Members were satisfied there was sufficient ability to achieve biodiversity gains within the site which could be mitigated by way of appropriate conditions. On balance it was generally thought that any detrimental impact would be outweighed by the benefits of the proposal. RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons. Reasons for Approval 1. The development would provide for the erection of four residential dwellings

in a location that is considered to represent a sustainable form of

development in accordance with the Sections 2 and 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) and Policies SD1 and SS1 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011 - 2029.

2. The proposed development would result in less than substantial harm to the Grade II Listed Building 45 Main Road and would preserve the character and appearance of the Tadley Conservation Area. The less than substantial harm arising to the special interests of these heritage assets is outweighed by the public benefits. The development would therefore accord with the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) and Policy EM11 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

3. The development would provide for an appropriate layout, scale, mass and

design which would integrate with its surroundings and the semi-rural character of the area. The development would have due regard to the character and appearance of the area and would not result in harm to the visual amenity of the streetscene. The proposal would therefore comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019); Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Design and Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (2018).

4. The proposed development would provide safe access and adequate parking

provision in accordance with highway requirements, and as such would accord with the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019); Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Parking Supplementary Planning Document (2018).

5. The proposed development would not result in an undue loss of privacy or

cause undue overlooking, overshadowing, overbearing or noise and disturbance impacts to neighbouring properties and as such complies with Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

6. The site is located within proximity to the Atomic Weapons Establishment of

Aldermaston and Burghclere. The proposed development can provide a means to ensure that the needs of the inhabitants of the development can be accommodated in the event of an emergency and as such the development would accord with Policy SS7 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

7. The proposal would (with appropriate conditions) conserve the biodiversity

value and nature conservation interests of the site and as such the proposal would comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) and Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

2. Application – 19/02178/FUL: Land-Raising and Landscaping works for the creation of a horse grazing area (part retrospective) Site: Hillside Farm Andover Road Highclere RG20 9SD The Committee considered the report set out on pages 132 to 131 of the agenda together with the further material set out on the addendum sheet and other matters

discussed at the meeting. The Committee discussed the proposed application and their main concern was the potential contamination of the land. It was acknowledged that a large amount of material had been imported onto the site to raise ground levels, however it was advised that 315 cubic metres of the material would now be removed. As the material imported onto the site was of unknown origin there was a potential for the site to be contaminated which could also affect residents of properties located in close proximity to the site. Members decided that before any of the material for the development was moved they wanted tests to be carried out to assess the ground conditions and therefore requested that Condition 6 be changed to a pre-commencement condition. RESOLVED that: the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below and for the following reasons. Reasons for Approval 1 The development would be of an appropriate design and relate to surrounding

application; considering the imposition of conditions In this instance: the applicant was updated of any issues after the initial site visit; In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner


making this declaration at the meeting of Cabinet in September 2019. This recognises the need to take urgent action to reduce both the emissions of the Council's own activities as a service provider but also those of the wider borough. In this respect, the Council is working with consultants at present to identify appropriate actions to achieve the targets that have been set. Beyond the requirements of any conditions that may be applicable to this planning permission and the current planning policy framework, the applicant is encouraged to explore all opportunities for implementing the development in a way that minimises impact on climate change. Where this in itself might require separate permission applicants can contact the council for advice

through the following link: https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/before-making-a-planning-application. For information more generally on the Climate Emergency please visit: https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/climateemergency.

4. Before undertaking any work which affects a public highway you must obtain

specific written approval from the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council and enter into or secure any necessary legal agreements or consents to enable the works on a public highway to proceed. It is an offence to carry out unauthorised works on a public highway. This requirement applies not only to the creation of new vehicle accesses involving excavation within a footway, verge or carriageway but also to the stopping of existing access(es) or other works on or to the public highway. For further information, please contact [email protected]

6. Application – 20/00519/FUL: Erection of fence, inside the boundary line of the A343, to include entrance gates. Site: Grantham/Crawley House, Andover Road, Highclere The Committee considered the report set out on pages 236 to 249 of the agenda together and other matters discussed at the meeting. The Committee discussed the proposed application at length and most Members thought that the proposal was unacceptable to the character of the area in terms of the height, length, style and prominence of the fence and gates and would be contrary to Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan Polices EM1 and EM10. It was recognised that the intent to plant a hedge in front of the fencing would soften the appearance but a gap of 80cm would be insufficient for the purpose. The Committee requested that an informative be included for the applicant to engage with the Local Planning Authority for an alternative scheme. Members also discussed the existing fence (western boundary) which had been erected without the benefit of planning permission and in contravention of the approved landscaping scheme for the site and agreed that enforcement action be taken. RESOLVED that: the application be REFUSED and enforcement action be taken in relation to the existing fence for the following reasons:

Reasons for Refusal 1 By virtue of the proposed fence and gates length, height, style and

prominence the proposal would result in adverse impacts on the character of the area to the detriment of local landscape character and scenic quality of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and insufficient space would be provided for landscaping to establish over time to mitigate against this impact. As such, the proposals are contrary to Polices EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.

Reason for Enforcement 1 By virtue of the fence and gates length, height, style and prominence the

development results in adverse impacts on the character of the area to the detriment of local landscape character and scenic quality of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and insufficient space is provided for landscaping to establish over time to mitigate against this impact. As such, the proposals are contrary to Polices EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029.
