To consider the adoption of Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for Gosport High Street and Stoke Road, respectively.
Additional documents:
Minutes: Consideration was given to a report of the Principal Conservation and Design Officer requesting consideration be given to the adoption of the Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for the Gosport High Street and Stoke Road Conservation Areas.
The Board was advised that there was no updates to the report and that these was the last of the appraisals that have been undertaken. The boundaries had been considered as part of the appraisal but there was not proposed to be any changes.
There was a duty to review Conservation Areas to ensure that they were preserved and enhances and the funding from the High Street Heritage Action Zone had helped to do this, as well as Historic England. There had been public consultations on the work undertaken.
Members welcomed the work that had been undertaken and recognised that it was an important history book through which people could learn and requested that thanks be recorded for the work of the Principal Conservation and Design Officer.
Members reiterated their gratitude for the document and the work, and were interested to understand if there was a reason that Gosport had not introduced Conservation Areas immediately when provision was made for them in 1967.
There was no definitive answer, it was felt that there was perhaps some apprehension at the time, but also that a large amount of rebuilding took place post war following bomb damage. Eventually it was felt it was realised that there needed to be protection of heritage assets, and that this had perhaps not been considered in the post modernism of the 60s.
Members felt that what was old in 2024 was not necessarily old in 1967 and that there was a different attitude to heritage now.
RESOLVED: That the Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for Gosport High Street and Stoke Road be approved and adopted.

Report of the Development Manager PDF 740 KB To consider the report of the Development Manager. Minutes: 23/00367/FULL - SUBDIVISION OF THE PLOT AND ERECTION OF ONE TWO-STOREY 3 BED DWELLING WITH ASSOCIATED CAR PARKING AND LANDSCAPING. RESUBMISSION OF 22/00207/FULL (Conservation Area) 31 Crescent Road Gosport Hampshire PO12 2DJ
The Board was updated with the following information from the Planning Officer.
Following discussions between Member and Officers following the site visit an additional planning condition was proposed (no13).
13. a) The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until the boundary treatment fronting The Lane has been removed. b) Any replacement boundary treatment shall not exceed 600mm in height, and will be provided in accordance with details that shall have been submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Local Planning Authority. c) The approved boundary treatment(s) shall thereafter be retained in accordance with the approved details. Reason - In the interests of highway safety, and to comply with LP23 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2011-2029 and the Parking Supplementary Planning Document 2014.
In answer to a Members question it was clarified that an application for the creation of 2 parking bays in The Lane was separate to this application.
Mr Sherwen was invited to address the Board.
Amenity Impact on Existing Residents l am here primarily on behalf of the residents of the Lane, all of whom that were around last week Io signed my deputation. In response to the question of historical access and recent use of the Workshops/Garages. These were granted planning permission back in the late 1960's, at the time planning was sought The Lane was only 3.5m in width behind 31 Crescent Road and this extended for approximately a third of the length of the road.
The garages were obviously built with the knowledge that The Lane would provide at best restricted' access due to the narrowness and residents who actually live on The Lane and were already using it for their vehicles. We have established that it is likely several decades since the garages have been in regular use.
So access to the rear of 31 crescent road has always been limited and only worked by cooperation and a bit of give and take with the neighbours on The Lane. This access is exactly the same for the residents on The Lane accessing their own properties.
It's worth mentioning that it is not just residents that park in The Lane, it's all the trade vehicles serving local properties, its visitors, its carers coming 4 times a day to one property, it's also customers using the nearby Hotel and restaurant, The residents do not control who uses the Lane, there are no parking restrictions, the parking is not illegal as suggested by the applicant, at times it is busy and congested but that is unavoidable on such a narrow lane. The residents are simply parking in the vicinity of their own homes as the property owners have done for the best part of a century. The Parking SPD requirement. Appendix A part 2 clearly states that the applicant has to ... view the full minutes text for item 54. |
