The Planning Officer introduced the report, which recommended approval.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That, subject to the approval by the Government Office for the South West, application S/2010/0605 planning permission be granted for the following reasons:

 

Both national (PPS1, PPS4 and PPS7) and local guidance (policy G1) would support the enhancement of the Village Hall’s facilities. In this case, this enhancement involves the erection of a new hall elsewhere in the village and it is recognised there will be a loss of a community facility if the site of the hall is redeveloped for housing. However, whilst officers are concerned that the current Village Hall could be demolished and no replacement erected, if as in this atypical case, the Parish Council is promoting the scheme and the village supports the proposal then whilst there are concerns that the proposal is not in accordance with Local Plan policy PS3, if permission is granted for a new village hall on the corner of the Memorial Recreation Ground then overall it could be considered that there would not be a loss of a community facility. Therefore the proposal to demolish the existing hall would be acceptable.

 

As regards the redevelopment of the site, it lies within the Housing Policy Boundary of Whiteparish (policy H16) and therefore the principle of the residential development is acceptable provided any scheme would comply with the other criteria of the Local Plan, particularly policies G2 and D2. However, as this application is in outline, the scheme is indicative and the drawings are only illustrative. But, these indicative details are considered to be in keeping with the character of the area and the further details of the dwellings’ appearance, etc will be the subject of reserved matters submissions.

                                      

And subject to the owners entering into an agreement under Section 106 to tie this application to the reprovision of village hall facilities and to the following conditions:

INFORMATIVE PUBLIC SEWERS

The applicant should note that the grant of planning permission does not include any separate permission which may be needed to erect a structure in the vicinity of a public sewer.  Such permission should be sought direct from Southern Water. Development is not normally allowed within 3.0 metres of a Public Sewer although this may vary depending on the size, depth, strategic importance, available access and the ground conditions appertaining to the sewer in question.
