Minutes - Planning Committee - 26 August 2008

No 93089 – 2/2a Gosport Lane

Retention of two existing cottages and erection of 18 age restricted dwellings and 9 affordable units. Formation of access, garaging and parking

RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted but to accept the decision reached by the NF NPA’s officers under delegated powers. This was considered to be a good scheme that would enhance the village

Application No 93131 – Burwood Lodge, Romsey Road

Remove existing timber outbuilding and replace with demountable timber building to be used as drying room and storage for owner’s use

RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. The Committee welcomed the replacement of an old shed. The proposals would be well screened from the road.

Application No 93188 – Whitecroft, Pikes Hill Avenue

Single storey garage extension to side – relinquish two storey garage/games room approved previously.

RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted but to accept the decision reached by the NF NPA officers under delegated powers as it was considered necessary for the applicant to enter into a Section 106 agreement to avoid implementation of two double garages. It was considered that all necessary steps had been taken to avoid nuisance to neighbours and the proposals represent a better use of the site and prevent the necessity to dig out a great deal of soil thus being more environmentally friendly.  The proposals would also address the privacy issue for the applicant.  The new garage would not be visible from the road.

Application No 93271 – 77 High Street
Change of use from A2 bookmakers to SUI Generis car showroom
