Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment regarding a planning application for the re-submission of formally approved planning application (time lapsed) for a new primary school at Barton Farm, Hampshire.

Councillor Roger Huxstep declared a personal interest as a Member of Winchester City Council.

The Committee received a report from the Head of Strategic Planning (item 7 in the minute book) regarding the re-submission of formally approved planning application at Barton Farm in Winchester.

Permission for the application had lapsed due to there being a slower uptake of residential properties than anticipated. Members were reminded of the site location and proposed plans. There were various pedestrian access points and the developer had plans for lay-bys to accommodate drop-off and pick-up. No objections had been received on the application.

The Committee received a deputation from Martin Hallum from Property Services at Hampshire County Council as the applicant, who confirmed that most elements of the application were the same as when it previously came to Committee, apart from a few cost saving elements as summarised in the report.

During questions of the deputation, it was confirmed that there were public transport links and also that the school would remain as a single storey building to enable outdoor access for all classrooms.

RESOLVED:

Planning permission was GRANTED subject to the conditions listed in integral appendix B.
