Reasons for Refusal

 

01. REASON FOR REFUSAL – Impact of trees on amenity space

 

The proposed development would harmfully encroach into the root protection area and canopy spread of adjacent trees within Southampton Common which have significant public amenity value. The incursion of the proposed dwelling into the root protection area of T6 (oak) would be greater than the existing outbuildings on site and would place this tree at greater risk. Furthermore the proposed dwelling and amenity space would be subject to shade and potential debris from the overhanging trees and this would introduce additional and unreasonable pressure for the cutting back and/or removal of overhanging branches of these trees to the possible detriment of the character and amenities of the area.  As such it is considered that the proposal does not accord with policies SDP1 (i) and (ii), SDP7 (i) and (ii) and H7 (iii) of the adopted City of Southampton Local Plan (2006) and as supported by the Council’s approved Residential Design Guide SPD 2006 (specifically section 4.4 and paragraphs 4.8.7 and 4.8.8).

 

02. REASON FOR REFUSAL - SPA Mitigation

 

In the absence of either a scheme of works or a completed Section 106 legal agreement or unilateral undertaking to support the development the application fails to mitigate against its wider direct impact with regards to the additional pressure that further residential development will place upon the Special Protection Areas of the Solent Coastline.  Failure to secure mitigation towards the 'Solent Disturbance Mitigation Project' in order to mitigate the adverse impact of new residential development (within 5.6km of the Solent coastline) on internationally protected birds and habitat is contrary to Policy CS22 of the Council's adopted LDF Core Strategy as supported by the Habitats Regulations.
