Former Builders Yard  8 Brockhurst Road  Gosport  Hampshire  PO12 3DE 

The Board was updated that the application site was the former Solent Bricks site located on Brockhurst Road, and adjacent to the Royal Mail Delivery Office. The site has been vacant for some time and is proposed to be allocated as residential development site in the emerging local plan. The proposals are for the erection of 31 flats with associated parking, utilising the existing access point from Brockhurst Road. The recommendation is grant permission subject to a legal agreement and conditions.

The Board was advised that the parking spaces would not be allocated and that there was options for the management company to increase electric vehicle provision this if it was deemed necessary. The Board was also advised that any potential issues with the bins could be conditioned with a waste management plan, if Members thought this was necessary.

Members welcomed the development on the site, and acknowledged that there was noise mitigation and acknowledged that the active hours on the Royal Mail site had reduced. It was also acknowledged that the site was previously busy as a builder’s yard.

The Board was advised that any issues concerning the wall would either be the responsibility of the management company if that’s where ownership lies, if it was the householder it would be their responsibility to negotiate any repair if required.  A condition was proposed to deal with boundary treatments.

RESOLVED: That application 23/00427/FULL be approved subject to the conditions in the report of the Development Manager and subject to Section 106 agreement relating to the securing of mitigation to ensure the development is nutrient neutral

and the securing of mitigation for increased recreational disturbance associated with the development.
