*****************
08/00005/FUL demolition of garages and 1 no. dwelling and the erection of 14 no. dwellings and alterations to access (GR353976/116934) - adjacent to parish
Land rear of 163 Larkhill Road
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL, subject to:
(a) the access needs improvement as there are concerns that the brick wall will substantially hinder visibility.
(b) a contribution should be made towards safe access to a play area for younger children.
(c) a contribution should be made for off-site play provision for older children.
Amended plans - April 2008
The Parish Council recommends approval of the amended plans, however:
1. The previous comments still apply:
(a) the access needs improvement as there are concerns that the brick wall will substantially hinder visibility.
(b) a contribution should be made towards safe access to a play area for younger children.
(c) a contribution should be made for off-site play provision for older children.
2. There are now additional concerns:
d) visibility onto Larkhill Road (especially if occupiers of the detached property choose to park on Larkhill Road). Are the Highway Authority happy with this?
e) parking space provision shown between plots 6 and 7 involve double parking arrangements. Since provision is for 1.5 spaces per dwelling this double parking arrangement will be difficult to operate.

SSDC - Approved with conditions
***************
08/01555/FUL the erection of 4 houses with garages and parking (GR 352673/116058)
Golden Acres Nursery, Alvington Lane
RECOMMENDATION: Refusal due to access issues and potential on-street parking problems:
The distance from the parking areas to front doors is quite a way and it is suspected that on-street parking on Alvington Lane would occur. On-street parking would be in the visibility splay and would create even more problems of access along Alvington Lane. The narrow 5 metre wide estate road and any on-street parking would seriously hinder traffic into the new estate especially for refuse and emergency vehicles.

With regard to the amended plans:
Within planted area, to plant appropriate evergreen species to ensure year-round attenuation for light and noise within the site (e.g. security, lighting, etc.)
The Parish Council remains concerned about pedestrian access across the Western Relief link there are serious doubts that people will only drive to work. The other changes made are welcome. However, previous comments still apply it was AGREED to supply these comments in full to the Planning Officer.

Lufton Manor College, Lufton
RECOMMENDATION: Refusal - the Council is unable to recommend approval as the application is incomplete. Question 19 would not appear to have been answered correctly. Question 21 has not been specifically answered - what are normal college opening hours. There is no indication of the intended purpose of the building - the numbers of students/staff, traffic impact etc.
Whilst it is appreciated that the existing buildings in the complex are of varied construction, the proximity of the proposed building to the existing Grade 2 Listed Building needs to be fully considered with regard to visual impact.
