The Garden Cottage, 15/00235/FUL Report of the Planning and Development Manager recommending that delegated authority be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address, attached. Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Panel considered the report of the Planning and Development Manager recommending delegated authority be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.
Subdivision of existing dwelling into two flats (one x two bedroom, one x three bedroom) with single storey extension to the south elevation, porch to the north elevation, alterations to the roof and changes to windows (resubmission).
Mr Darlington (Chair NEBRA Residents Association andLocal Resident/objecting) was present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.
RESOLVED to refuse planning permission for the reasons set out below:
Reasons for Refusal
REASON FOR REFUSAL – Highway Safety
The subdivision of the property into two dwellings is likely to result in the intensification of the access by vehicles which would be to the detriment of highway safety. As such the proposal is contrary to policies SDP1(i), SDP4, SDP11 and TI2 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review (as amended 2015) and policy CS19 of the adopted LDF Core Strategy (as amended 2015).
REASON FOR REFUSAL - Lack of Section 106 or unilateral undertaking to secure planning obligations.
In the absence of either a scheme of works or a completed Section 106 legal agreement or unilateral undertaking to support the development the application fails to mitigate against its wider direct impact with regards to the additional pressure that further residential development will place upon the Special Protection Areas of the Solent Coastline. Failure to secure mitigation towards the 'Solent Disturbance Mitigation Project' in order to mitigate the adverse impact of new residential development (within 5.6km of the Solent coastline) on internationally protected birds and habitat is contrary to Policy CS22 of the Amended LDF Core Strategy (2015) as supported by the Habitats Regulations.

Reasons for Refusal

REASON FOR REFUSAL - Lack of Section 106 or unilateral undertaking to secure planning obligations.

(i) Financial contributions towards site specific transport contributions for highway improvements in the vicinity of the site, including any necessary Traffic Regulation Orders to facilitate any changes, in line with Policy SDP4 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review (as amended 2015), policies CS18 and CS25 of the adopted LDF Core Strategy ... view the full minutes text for item 15. |
