Decision details

Variation of conditions 8, 11 & 16 of Planning permission S/16/78332 for the provision of external recyclate storage bays, asbestos storage, a second weighbridge and a relaxation to the restricted hours for waste delivery at Southampton Transfer Station and Recycling Facility, Tower Lane, Eastleigh SO50 6NZ (No. CS/19/85013)

(Site Ref: EA111)

The Committee considered a report from the Head of Strategic Planning regarding variation to conditions at a site in Eastleigh. Committee was presented with location plans of the site and surrounding road network and a proposed site plan was also shown depicting the second weighbridge and storage bays.

During questions of the officer, it was clarified that there were no changes proposed to vehicle movements.

In debate, there were concerns over the dangers to air quality and also the timings of the movements with the changes proposed to relax the restricted hours for waste delivery.

It was proposed by Councillor House and seconded by Councillor Irish that Condition 8 (Timings) not be amended remain as follows:

A maximum of 20 HGV movements (to and from) associated with the waste operation hereby permitted shall enter or leave the site between the combined hours of 0400-0600 and 1800-2300 each day.

This was then put to the vote:

Favour: 7

Against: 5

This was won on a vote and Committee agreed that changing the timings would be contrary to Policies 10 and 12 and have a detrimental effect on public health and amenity.

The recommendation was then put to the vote.

RESOLVED

a) Planning permission was GRANTED subject to the update report.

b) That Condition 8 remain as per the original application, being:

A maximum of 20 HGV movements (to and from) associated with the waste operation hereby permitted shall enter or leave the site between the combined hours of 0400-0600 and 1800-2300 each day.

c) That revised Conditions 11 and 16 are approved along with the rest of the Conditions as in Appendix A to the report.

Voting:

Favour: 12 (unanimous)
