Application No. 17/00914/OUTPP - Blandford House and Malta Barracks Development Site, Shoe Lane, Aldershot

Minutes:

The Committee considered the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing’s Report No. PLN1952 (as amended at the meeting) regarding the outline planning application for the development of up to 180 dwellings (including the conversion of Blandford House and retention of three existing dwellings) including access, internal roads, demolition of buildings, amenity space, green infrastructure and sustainable drainage systems (Matters for Approval – Access Only) to include full approval of details for the provision of 13.7ha of Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) and associated car park (18 spaces).

The Committee was reminded that it had approved a previous outline planning application for the development in March 2018 and noted that, due to the complexity of the matters surrounding the development, the negotiation process had significantly exceeded the deadline for issuing the original planning permission. Whilst there were no material changes to the planning application from that approved in 2018, aspects of the following matters required to be updated:

· SANG Delivery Strategy;

· Conditions and Section 106 Legal Agreement

· Shadow Appropriate Assessment

RESOLVED: That:

(i)	subject to the completion of a satisfactory Planning Obligation under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure the measures set out in (but not restricted to) the Heads of Terms of the Agreement as set out in Report No. PLN1952 (as amended at the meeting), the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing, in consultation with the Chairman, be authorised to grant planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out in Report No. PLN1952 (as amended at the meeting) and the Corporate Manager – Legal Services to settle the detailed terms of the Section 106 agreement;

(ii)	in the event of failure to complete the agreement by 28th February, 2020, the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing, in consultation with the Chairman, be authorised to refuse planning permission on the grounds that inadequate provision was made in respect of SPA mitigation, affordable housing, open space, play areas, and transport obligations and contributions.

Enforcement and possible unauthorised development PDF 109 KB

To consider the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing’s Report No. PLN1954 (copy attached) which reports on cases of planning enforcement and possible unauthorised development.

Minutes:

The Committee considered the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing’s Report No. PLN1954 regarding an alleged breach of a change of use of a garage to form a habitable room.

The Committee was advised that the garage had been built in 1981 with a planning condition placed on the development in respect of parking space. Whilst the garage had been converted into a habitable room in breach of this condition, a site visit had established that the property still met the Council’s current adopted car parking standard of three spaces for a property of this size. In view of this, the Committee was advised that, were an application to be submitted to regularise the conversion of the garage, it would receive a recommendation that permission be granted.

RESOLVED: That no further action be taken.
