Demolition of existing outbuilding and erection of detached 2-bedroom dwelling

1. The proposed detached dwelling, owing to its form, scale, siting and unduly cramped layout, would result in the unacceptable overdevelopment of the site and the undue erosion of the current spacing that exists to the side of No. 17 O'Connell Road, thereby disrupting the prevailing pattern of development in the locality and adversely impacting upon the character of the street scene. The application is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy DM1 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan 2016-2036 and the provisions of Paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. The application fails to provide for the required mitigation to offset the impacts of the development on the European protected Solent Complex (SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites), River Itchen SAC and SSSI, and New Forest SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, from additional recreational pressure and nutrient loading generated by the population increase and additional sewage resulting from the development. The application is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy DM11 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan 2016-2036, Paragraphs 180 and 186 of the National Planning Policy Framework, and the provisions of The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
3. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), Eastleigh Borough Council takes a positive approach to the handling of development proposals so as to achieve, whenever possible, a positive outcome and to ensure all proposals are dealt with in a timely manner.
