Mr MacKean and Mr Webster made deputations in respect of the retention of the bund at Ringwood and Ellingham quarry. The Committee then considered the report (Item 6 in the Minute Book) on the matter. The County Planning Officer stressed that it is unusual for decisions to be brought back to the Committee for review but felt that the circumstances justified such action in this case.

RESOLVED:

That the decision on the amended plans concerning Application No. 00065190M for the retention of the bund at Ringwood and Ellingham Quarry, Ellingham, near Ringwood be delegated to the County Planning Officer in consultation with the Chairman of the Regulatory Committee and the local Member subsequent to consideration of comments from the public and consultees.

Mrs Kellett- Clarke, Mrs Harfield, Mr McFadyen, Mr Bowles and Mrs Newman made deputations in respect of the Pilgrims Farm application. In addition a letter was read out which constituted a deputation by Mr Coe, the agent for the applicant, this being permitted as Mr Coe was unable to attend the meeting due to short notice of its date and time. The Committee then considered the report (Item 7 in the Minute Book) on the matter. The County Planning Officer reported that the British Horse Society had objected to the proposal as had Sherfield English Parish Council on traffic grounds; (the latter objection had not been mentioned in the report due to the paperwork having been mislaid in the Test Valley Borough Council file). Local member Councillor Woodhall expressed support for the recommendation of refusal.

RESOLVED:

That a decision on the Pilgrims Farm application be deferred in order to:

      1. Allow the whole Committee to undertake a site visit at approximately midday on 30th September 2002;

      2. Seek Counsel's opinion about the "fallback" position;

      3. Obtain more evidence about the impact on local amenity of the traffic which would be generated.
