Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Panel considered the report of the Service Lead, Planning, Infrastructure and Development recommending that conditional planning permission be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

 

Construction of a 130 space car park for use in association with the University of Southampton, with associated landscaping works.

 

Chris Buckle (local resident objecting), Councillor Savage( stakeholder objecting)  Chris Patterson (agent), Kevin Monaghan (applicant), and Councillors Fielker, Mintoff and Bunday (Ward Councillors objecting) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

 

The presenting officer distributed a sheet of amended conditions prior to the meeting.  This showed minor amendments were needed for Conditions 2, 6 and 8.  The presenting officer also noted, at the hearing, that an amendment would be required for Condition 7.

 

The Panel then considered the recommendation to grant conditional planning permission. Upon being put to the vote the recommendation was lost.

 

A further motion to refuse planning permission for the reasons set out below was then proposed by Councillor Mitchell and seconded by Councillor Galton.

 

RECORDED VOTE to refuse planning permission

FOR:  Councillors Coombs and L Harris

AGAINST:  Councillors Galton, Mitchell, Vaughan and Windle

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused subject to the reason for refusal set out below:

 

Reasons for Refusal:

 

Effect on Residential Amenity

The proposed car park and access would have an unacceptable impact on the adjoining residential properties at 171 to 185 Broadlands Road due to the proximity of the parking and access to these properties. The development would result in general disturbance due to comings and goings to and from the site; the starting and idling of car engines and associated emissions from vehicles. In particular, these impacts would erode the enjoyment of the private gardens that directly adjoin the site and be at odds with the quiet and tranquil character that residents have the right to expect. The proposal would, therefore, prove contrary to the provisions of policies SDP1 (i) (iii), SDP7 (v) and SDP9 (v) of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review 2nd Revision (2015) and policy CS13 of the Southampton Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2015).

 

NOTE: Councillor Savage declared and interest and withdrew from the Panel for this item.
