Land to the rear of 77 Burridge Road, Burridge Road, Southampton, SO31 1BY

the change of use of land to the stationing of caravans for residential purposes with hardstanding and dayrooms incidental to that use

Authority: Fareham Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: caravan-gypsy · Minor traveller and caravan pitches
Inspector: Allen M

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development accords with development plan policy in respect of mitigation and enhancement of a Site of Importance of Nature Conservation (SINC)
Whether the development would deliver the required Biodiversity Net Gain
The effect of the proposal on the integrity of nearby habitat sites

What decided it

The removal of the appeal site from the SINC designation following the 2020 boundary amendment meant that the policy requirement for a Biodiversity Mitigation and Enhancement Plan was no longer applicable, as there would be no loss of SINC habitat to mitigate.

Plan policies cited: Policy HA45, Policy NE1, Policy NE2, Policy NE3, Policy NE4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
