Public Participation

Mr Sam Lowings spoke in objection to the application.

Mr Paul Colebourne spoke in objection to the application.

Mrs Jacqueline Bertie spoke in support of the application.

Cllr Lacey, West Tisbury Parish Council spoke in objection to the application.

Cllr Patrick Duffy, Chairman of Tisbury Parish Council spoke in support of the application.

 

The Senior Planning Officer presented the application which recommended the application be approved. Key issues were stated to include the scale and design of the new build, parking and the access arrangements. Attention was drawn to the late list of observations and changes to the recommendation contained in Agenda Supplement 3.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officer. In response to queries it was confirmed that should items of archaeological interest be discovered on site during the course of any new building, work would be halted for further investigation. Details were also sought on how close the nearest dwellings would be, particular to the accesses, and for details of the landscape plan.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee, as detailed above.

 

The Local Member, Councillor Tony Deane, then spoke in support of the application, highlighting the benefits to the wider community area, extent of consultation on the proposals, and efforts to mitigate those concerns which had been raised.

 

A debate followed, where the provision on parking on the site was raised in light of concerns from the parish council, and it was stated officers felt that the current proposed level was sufficient, but details were sought for proposed materials used for the proposed meadow space which might permit, on rare occasions, overflow parking if required. The footprint of the new build was discussed, with the elimination of current structures meaning it was comparable or even smaller than that currently on the site. Drainage issues and the consultation on the campus proposals were also discussed.

 

At the conclusion of debate, it was,

INFORMATIVES:

 

Surface Water Drainage 
The applicant proposes to direct all surface water to soakaways. This is the preferred option, providing ground conditions permit and percolation tests demonstrate that they are appropriate.

INFORMATIVE: 
The surface water soakaways may require the approval of the Local Authority's Building Control Department and should be constructed in accordance with the BRE Digest No 365 or CIRIA Report 156 "Infiltration Drainage, Manual of Good Practice". Only clean, uncontaminated surface water should be discharged to soakaway.

Pollution Prevention During Construction

INFORMATIVE
Safeguards should be implemented during the construction phase to minimise the risks of pollution from the development. Such safeguards should cover:
- the use of plant and machinery
- oils/chemicals and materials
- the use and routing of heavy plant and vehicles
- the location and form of work and storage areas and compounds
- the control and removal of spoil and wastes.
The applicant should refer to the Environment Agency's Pollution Prevention Guidelines at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pollution-prevention-guidance-ppg 
 
Sustainable Construction
Sustainable design and construction should be implemented across the proposed development.  BREEAM standards should be used in the design and construction of the development.  This is important in limiting the effects of and adapting to climate change. Running costs of the buildings can also be significantly reduced.
