1. Summary

To regularise the minutes of the Regulatory Committee at its meeting held on

19 October 2005 relating to the recycling facility for processing of inert construction and demolition material at Rookery Farm Landfill Site,

Botley Road, Swanwick (Application No P/04/1522/MW) and the extraction of sand and gravel, constructing a vehicle access and environmental banks, restoration to lakes, woodland and agricultural fields at Downton Manor Farm,

Milford-on-Sea (Application No 82483). Unfortunately the resolution of the two minutes were interchanged.

2. Reason

2.1 To put the record straight. When preparing evidence for public enquiries it

emerged that the resolutions were incorrectly recorded.

Set out below is the correct version of the minutes.

45. RECYCLING FACILITY FOR PROCESSING OF INERT

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION MATERIAL AT ROOKERY

FARM LANDFILL SITE, BOTLEY ROAD, SWANWICK (APPLICATION

NO P/04/1522/MW)

Messrs Fraser, Martin, Berry, Cole and Bowley made deputations in respect of this

item.

Councillor Woodward also attended the meeting and spoke in opposition to the

proposals on the grounds of noise.

The Committee then considered the report of the Chief Planning Adviser (Item 14

in the Minute Book) on a proposed recycling facility for the processing of inert

construction and demolition material at Rookery Farm Landfill Site, Botley Road,

Swanwick.

The Committee considered most carefully all aspects of the application. Whilst

noting the Officer recommendation to grant approval, the Committee considered

that the levels of noise and dust generated by the proposed development would be

unacceptable and it was therefore

RESOLVED:

That planning permission in respect of the recycling facility for processing of

inert construction and demolition material at Rookery Farm Landfill Site,

Botley Road, Swanwick (P/04/1522/MW) be refused on the grounds that the

development is contrary to the Development Plan as it does not comply with

Policy 46 (iv) of the Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton:

(1) estimates of noise generated from the operation of the site and would give rise

to an unacceptable disturbance to local residents.

(2) the applicant has not demonstrated that dust generated by the operation of the

site can be adequately controlled to prevent an unacceptable impact for local

residents.

46. EXTRACTION OF SAND AND GRAVEL, CONSTRUCTING A

VEHICLE ACCESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL BANKS, RESTORATION

TO LAKES, WOODLAND AND AGRICULTURAL FIELDS AT

DOWNTON MANOR FARM, MILFORD-ON-SEA (APPLICATION NO

82483)

Messrs Sey, Pemberton, Bishop, Phillips, Pollock and Salmon made deputations

in respect of this item.

Councillors Kendal and Rice also attended the meeting and spoke in opposition

to the proposals on the grounds of (inter alia) of impact on residential and

holiday lets in the area, adjoining neighbours, not within a preferred area for

mineral extraction as defined in the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan

and the impact of HGV movements on the A337.

The Committee then considered the report of the Chief Planning Adviser (Item

15 in the Minute Book) on a proposal to extract 810,000 tonnes of sand and

gravel at Downton Manor Farm, Milford-on-Sea.

The Committee considered most carefully all aspects of the application. Whilst

noting the Officer recommendation to grant approval, the Committee considered that

if granted the proposals would have an unacceptable, deleterious impact on the

important tourist industry in the locality and it was therefore

RESOLVED:

That planning permission in respect of Extraction of Sand and Gravel,

constructing a Vehicle Access and Environmental Banks, Restoration of Lakes,

Woodland and Agricultural Fields at Downton Manor Farm, Milford-on-Sea

(Application No. 82483) be refused as the development is contrary to the

Development Plan as it does not comply with Policy 46 (iv) of the Hampshire,

Portsmouth and Southampton Minerals and Waste Local Plan as the:

(1) it is not a `preferred' area as defined in Policy 19 of the Hampshire,

Portsmouth and Southampton Minerals and Waste Local Plan.

(2) does not comply with Policy 6 (ii) of the Hampshire, Portsmouth and

Southampton Minerals and Waste Local Plan and Policy MW2 (i) of the

Hampshire County Structure Plan in that it would give rise to adverse impacts

on the local economy.
