(A) EXTRACTION OF HOGGIN AND BACKFILLING WITH IMPORTED WASTE
MATERIALS AT ABBEY FRUIT FARM, WOOLSTON ROAD, HOUND
(27350/1)
The Vice-Chairman reported that the Plans Advisory Panel
had expressed approval of the proposal in principle at the
site visit but had requested the County Surveyor to report
further to them on the highway and access implications.
The County Surveyor had subsequently advised that the
proposal would bring about a slight increase in traffic on
Woolston Road over and above the likely 1990 traffic flow
inclusive of Westward traffic (i.e. generated by the site
being currently worked) and that there was no more suitable
position for the access other than that currently proposed.
A majority of the Panel had then expressed opposition on
account of the access and traffic which would be generated.
RESOLVED:
(i) That planning permission in respect of application
27350/1 be refused on the grounds of inadequate access
and the traffic which would be generated.
(ii) That the Secretary of State be requested to hold a
public local inquiry if an appeal is made against the
refusal of planning permission.

the application being amended in the manner and subject to
the provisos set out in the appendix to the report to the

(a) That, having regard to the special circumstances
and justification for the proposal and the
compensating benefits in reducing the length of
coastline subject to disturbance as described in
the report, the County Council does not regard
the proposed slipway as creating a precedent for
further development affecting the mudlands of
Langstone and Chichester harbours and would
strongly resist any such contention.

intention to pursue its policies for the
preservation of the coast and its support for the
objectives of the Nature Conservancy Council in
