P7/02 MATTERS ARISING FROM
THE MEETING
Ref BDB53479/80 Top Farm, Highclere Street,
Highclere
Councillor Langan attended the Development
Control committee meeting held at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council on 25
September to give the objections of the Parish Council to the conversions of the listed barns from agricultural to commercial use.
The Parish Council's request for a site
meeting was ignored. Councillor Langan reported that he felt the meeting was
not properly conducted and gave details. It was agreed that the Parish Council
should submit a strong complaint.
Councillor Pearson added his own
dissatisfaction at the meeting that he had attended on August 28th
(Ref BDB53336 Waylands, Tubbs Lane, Highclere). The Parish Council's
request for a site visit appeared to be agreed, but subsequently was not
undertaken.
The meeting was then
adjourned to allow parishioner Mr Stephan Lewis to speak. The meeting then continued.
P8/02 PLANNING APPLICATIONS:
The following planning
applications were considered
· BDB53336 amendment (reducing height), Waylands, Tubbs Lane, Highclere
Erection of 3 terraced houses and garages,
demolition of existing bungalow and garage.
OBJECTION
For the following reasons:
This is still an over development of the site by
mass and height, and insufficient parking for three
houses.
The developer has not
submitted an amendment that is in keeping with the neighbouring properties, nor
the village design statement, and has re-submitted the original application
with minor changes and only a slight concession on height. The
new house opposite is being built to 7.3 metres high and if one builder can
achieve this, then so can another.
A site meeting was again requested and the Parish
Council asked to be notified in order to submit a proforma of points the
committee should consider and in order to attend.
In the event that this application is
reported to Committee, a representative of Highclere Parish Council would take
the opportunity to address the meeting.
