Erection of 159 dwellings with
associated landscaping, access and parking following phased
demolition of existing buildings (Amended Scheme 2).
 
Decision
 
Planning Permission REFUSED for the
following Reasons
 
1.     
Overbearing/increased sense of enclosure 
The
proposed development would by reason of the scale and relationship
of the development to the existing neighbouring dwellings be
overbearing and result in an increased sense of enclosure harmful
to the residential amenities of existing neighbouring occupiers
contrary to Policies DM1 and DM5 of the Waverley Local Plan (Part
2) 2023, Policy FNP1 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan (2020) and
the NPPF.

 
2.   
Lack of S106 contributions
In
the absence of a Section 106 Agreement to secure the provision of a
healthcare contribution, highway infrastructure, mitigation and
contributions and suitable management arrangements for the property
and public realm, the proposal fails to mitigate the impacts of the
development and ensure that the development is provided with the
necessary infrastructure to create a sustainable community,
contrary to the requirements of Policies  ICS1 and ST1 of the Local Plan (Part 1) 2018,
Policy FNP32 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan (2020) and the NPPF
.
 
3.   
SPA
In
the absence of an appropriate legal agreement, the proposal would
have a significant effect on the integrity of the Thames Basin
Heath Special Protection Area (SPA). Accordingly, since the
planning authority is not satisfied that Regulation 64 of the
Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended)
(The Habitats Regulations) applies in this case, it must refuse
permission in accordance with Regulation 63 of the Habitats
Regulations and Article 6(3) of Directive 92/43/EE. The proposal
conflicts with Policies NE1 and NE3 of the Local Plan (Part 1)
2018, Policy FNP12 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan (2020) and the
NPPF.
