REASONS FOR DECISION

The proposed method for demolishing the existing building is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below.  Following the receipt of a revised Demolition and Construction Method Statement (DCMS) the submission is considered to address all the relevant points to ensure that the demolition phase proceeds with as little nuisance and disturbance to surrounding neighbours and the highway network as is possible.  Reasonable checks and balances are included to enable the Local Planning Authority and Environmental Health to monitor the demolition phase and take action should it be necessary.  Other material considerations, such as those listed in the report to and discussed at, the Council’s Planning and Rights of Way Panel on 15^th February 2011 do not have sufficient weight to justify an objection to the application.  In accordance with Section 38 (6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, no objection is therefore, raised and this notice is issued in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010.

Policies – SDP1, SDP7, SDP9, SDP12, TI2, NE6 and L7 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review - Adopted March 2006 and Policies – CS6, CS11 and CS13 of the Southampton City Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy – Adopted January 2010 as supported by the Council’s current adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance.
