South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA (Hons) BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry which opened on 29 October 2024 into your client’s appeal against Fareham Borough Council’s failure to determine your client’s application for outline planning permission for up to 1,200 new homes (C3); 80 bed care homes (C2); a new 2 form entry primary school (D1); a local centre to comprise flexible commercial floorspace (A1, A2, A3 and A5 up to 800sq.m) and Community Centre and Health Care Facility (D1 use up to 700sq.m); the formation of new means of access onto Longfield Avenue and Peak Lane; new open space including the laying out of a new country park and sports facilities; drainage infrastructure; walking and cycling infrastructure and other associated infrastructure works, in accordance with application Ref. P/20/0646/OA, dated 1 July 2020. 2. On 24 October 2024, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) 1990. Inspector’s recommendation and summary of the decision 3.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council The Inspector recommended that the appeal be allowed and planning permission granted. 4. For the reasons given below, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusions, and agrees with her recommendation. She has decided to allow the appeal and grant planning permission. The Inspector’s Report (IR) is attached. All references to paragraph numbers, unless otherwise stated, are to that report.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council Environmental Statement 5. In reaching this position, the Secretary of State has taken into account the Environmental Statement (ES) and addendums which were submitted under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017. Having taken account of the Inspector’s comments at IR1.7, the Secretary of State is satisfied that the ES and other additional information provided complies with the above Regulations and that sufficient information has been provided for her to assess the environmental impact of the proposal. Policy and statutory considerations 6. In reaching her decision, the Secretary of State has had regard to section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (PCPA) 2004 which requires that proposals be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. 7. In this case the development plan consists of Fareham Borough Local Plan 2037 (FLP) which was adopted in April 2023, the Local Plan Part 3: Welborne Plan adopted June 2015 and the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan adopted October 2013. The Secretary of State considers that relevant development plan policies include those set out at IR4.2 - 4.28. 8.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council Other material considerations which the Secretary of State has taken into account include the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) published on 12 December 2024 and updated on 7 February 2025, and associated planning guidance (the Guidance), as well as the matters set out in IR4.29-4.32, IR4.38 and IR4.40-4.41. Main issues 9. For the reasons given at IR11.1, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector at IR11.2 that the main consideration is whether the planning obligations sought would comply with the tests at CIL Regulation 122(2) and paragraph 58 of the Framework (the CIL tests). There is a general ‘blue pencil’ provision in clause 3.3 of the Unilateral Undertaking (UU). This enables the Secretary of State to decide that specific obligations and / or covenants included in the UU are not compliant with the CIL tests and therefore do not need to be complied with (IR6.4). Affordable Housing Obligations 10. For the reasons given at IR11.5 the Secretary of State agrees that all the obligations in Schedule One of the UU would comply with the CIL tests and would secure a policy compliant scheme of affordable housing and the extra care facility. Open Space, Sports Hub and Bird Reserve Obligations 11.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.6 the Secretary of State agrees that the Schedule Two obligations in respect of Open Space (including play areas and SUDS), Bird Reserve and On-Site Routes would comply with the CIL tests. 12. For the reasons given at IR11.7-11.21 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.21 that the Schedule Two - Sports Hub Land Transfer obligation and the Sports Hub Maintenance Contribution towards the maintenance of pitches would comply with the CIL tests. For the reasons given at IR11.7-11.21, she also agrees that 2

For the reasons given at IR11.7-11.21 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.21 that the Schedule Two - Sports Hub Land Transfer obligation and the Sports Hub Maintenance Contribution towards the maintenance of pitches would comply with the CIL tests. For the reasons given at IR11.7-11.21, she also agrees that 2

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council the Schedule Two - Sports Hub Provision Contribution toward the provision of pitches, car park and changing facilities would not comply with the CIL tests (IR11.21). Therefore, Schedule Two - the Sports Hub Provision Contribution would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause in the submitted UU. Healthcare Obligations 13. For the reasons given at IR11.22-11.34 and given that the appellant was prepared to provide a facility within the appeal site as required by FLP policy HA55j, but the Integrated Care Board’s preference is for the expansion and/or relocation of existing premises (IR11.23) the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.34 that the Schedule Three – Healthcare Contribution sought by the Integrated Care Board would comply with the CIL tests. Local Centre Community Facility and Nursery Obligations 14. For the reasons given at IR11.35 the Secretary of State agrees that the Schedule Four obligations that provide for marketing of the Local Centre, the delivery of the Community Use Facility and Nursery Use Building are necessary to make the development acceptable and would comply with the CIL tests. Ecology Contributions 15.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.36-11.45 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.45 that the extent and the quality of the Green Infrastructure significantly exceeds what a development of this size would be expected to provide, it would accommodate recreational activity for residents, with specific measures for dog walkers implemented and the size of the scheme allows for any effects on designated sites and supporting habitats to be mitigated for within the red line boundary. For the reasons given at IR11.36-11.47 she further agrees that due to the size and quality of the Green Infrastructure proposed, the planning obligation in relation to the Solent SPA sites is not necessary to make the development acceptable and she agrees it would not comply with the CIL tests (IR11.47 and IR11.53). Therefore, the Schedule Five – Solent Recreational Mitigation Strategy Contribution would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 16.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.36-11.45 and IR11.48-11.51 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.51 that the appeal scheme would fully mitigate the potential effects of increased recreational pressure both ‘alone’ and ‘in-combination’ with other plans or projects on the New Forest SPA/Ramsar/SAC. She therefore agrees at IR11.52 and IR11.53 that the planning obligation in relation to the New Forest sites is not necessary to make the development acceptable and for this reason would not comply with the CIL tests. Therefore, the Schedule Five – New Forest Recreational Mitigation Contribution would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. Education 17. For the reasons given at IR11.54-11.57 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.57 that the provision of the primary school and the primary school land is necessary to make the development acceptable. She further agrees that requiring the appellant to fund the entirety of a 1.5 Form Entry (FE) primary school (Primary Education Contribution B), given that there would be about 47 surplus places should the 3

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council extra care scheme come forward, cannot be considered to be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development (IR11.57). 18. The appellant’s preferred planning obligations in respect of the primary school are set out at IR11.56 and IR11.60. The obligations would provide sufficient land for 1.5FE school (Schedule Six – Initial Primary School Land and Primary School and Delivery of Serviced Site Obligations), fund the construction of a 1FE school and make an additional contribution based on the number of eligible dwellings (Schedule Six – Primary Education Contribution), along with an option to acquire additional land for a 2FE school (Schedule Six – Additional Primary School Land). For the reasons given at IR11.54-11.63 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.66 that these obligations and contributions would comply with the CIL tests. For the reasons given at IR11.54-11.63 she further agrees that requiring the appellant to fund the entirety of a 1.5FE school (Schedule Six - Primary Education Contribution B) would not comply with the CIL tests (IR11.63 and IR11.66). Therefore, Schedule Six - Primary Education Contribution B would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 19.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.64-11.66 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.66 that the financial contribution towards Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision (Schedule Six – Education- Special Educational Needs Contribution) would comply with the CIL tests. Public Rights of Way (PROW) Contributions 20. For the reasons given at IR11.68-11.72 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusions at IR11.72 that the upgrades to footpaths 48 and 51 are not necessary to make the development acceptable and through encouraging visits to the Titchfield Nature Reserve they would have the potential to give rise to recreational harm to the Solent SPA, contrary to Policy NE3. She agrees that this obligation would not comply with the CIL tests (IR11.72 and IR11.95). Therefore, Schedule Seven – Footpaths 48 and 51 Contribution would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 21. For the reasons given at IR11.73-11.74 the Secretary of State agrees that upgrading that part of footpath 67 that does not fall within the appeal site to a bridleway is not necessary to make the development acceptable (IR11.74).

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.75-11.86 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusions at IR11.86 that having regard to the alternative routes available with signalised crossings, she does not consider it to be necessary for Footpaths 68 and 70 to be upgraded to a bridleway to accommodate children cycling to Crofton School. She therefore agrees at IR11.86, IR11.95 and IR11.118 that the PROW obligations in respect of footpaths 68 and 70 and the Schedule Eight – Highways Works D6 contribution would not comply with the CIL tests. 22. For the reasons given at IR11.88-11.92 the Secretary of State agrees that the on-site route proposed would be preferable to upgrading footpath 75 and although it would not be a designated PROW, it would be available to the public (IR11.92). She further agrees that the requested contribution for footpath 75 would not comply with the CIL tests since the scheme would not give rise to any additional use of the existing footpath, and therefore is not necessary to make the scheme acceptable (IR11.92 and IR11.95). 23.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at paragraphs 21-22 above the Secretary of State considers that the Schedule Seven– Footpaths 67, 68 and 75 Contribution, which includes the contributions listed at IR11.93, and the Schedule Eight – Highways Works D6 4

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at paragraphs 21-22 above the Secretary of State considers that the Schedule Seven– Footpaths 67, 68 and 75 Contribution, which includes the contributions listed at IR11.93, and the Schedule Eight – Highways Works D6 4

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council contribution, would not comply with the CIL tests and would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 24. The Secretary of State notes at IR11.87 that at Schedule Seven – Rights of Way (ROW) Upgrade Contribution the UU provides that if the planning obligation to upgrade Footpaths 67, 68 and 75 were found not to comply with the CIL tests, it would make a financial contribution of £35,000 towards the legal cost of changing the status of footpaths 68 and 70 to permit cycling. As the Secretary of State has found that the upgrade of paths 68 and 70 to a bridleway to accommodate children cycling to Crofton School does not comply with the CIL tests, she further considers that the Schedule 7 – ROW Upgrade Contribution is also not necessary. Therefore, it would not comply with the CIL tests and would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 25. For the reasons given above the Secretary of State agrees with the conclusion at IR11.141 that the Schedule Seven – contributions towards footpaths 48, 51, 67, 68, 70 and 75 would not comply with the CIL tests.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.94 she considers that the provision of a cycleway and footpath link (Borough Council Footpath/Cycleway Contribution and Bishopfield Road/Longfield Avenue Link Works) from works D2 to the southern edge of Longfield Avenue are necessary and therefore she considers that Schedule Seven - Borough Council Footpath/Cycleway Contribution and Schedule Seven - Bishopsfield Road / Longfield Avenue Link Works would comply with the CIL tests. Highway Contributions and Highway Works 26. For the reasons given at IR11.96 the Secretary of State agrees that the Schedule Eight obligations and contributions in respect of highway works A1, C1, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D10 and D11 are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development, and they would comply with the CIL tests. 27.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.101-11.104 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.104 that the impact of the appeal scheme at Titchfield Gyratory (B2) would be insignificant in the AM peak and minimal during the PM peak when compared to the baseline and for this reason the Schedule Eight - Highway Works B2 contribution is not necessary to make the development acceptable and is therefore subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. She also agrees with the Inspector’s further reasoning and conclusions at IR11.105-11.112 that the contribution requested would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 28. For the reasons given at IR11.113 -11.115 the Secretary of State agrees that given the absence of any material change in the volume to capacity flows the impact on St Margaret’s Roundabout (B3) would not be significant (IR11.115). She further agrees that the Schedule Eight – Highway Works B3 contribution for this roundabout is not necessary to make the development acceptable and therefore would not comply with the CIL tests and would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 29.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.116-11.117 the Secretary of State agrees that given that the Segensworth Roundabout (B4) would still operate within capacity with the scheme in place the Schedule Eight – Highway Works B4 contribution for this roundabout is not 5

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council For the reasons given at IR11.116-11.117 the Secretary of State agrees that given that the Segensworth Roundabout (B4) would still operate within capacity with the scheme in place the Schedule Eight – Highway Works B4 contribution for this roundabout is not 5

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council necessary to make the development acceptable (IR11.117) and therefore would not comply with the CIL tests and would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 30. For the reasons given at IR11.119-11.124 the Secretary of State agrees that the Schedule Eight – Highway Works D7 contribution for works to pedestrian and cycle improvements at the Rowan Way/Longfield Avenue/Peak Lane Junction (D7) are not necessary in addition to the new parallel crossing at Longfield Avenue and the shared footway/cycleway (D1) to link with the provision within the site (IR11.124) and therefore would not comply with the CIL tests and would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. She also agrees with the Inspector’s further reasoning and conclusions at IR11.124 that the contribution requested would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 31. For the reasons given at IR11.125-11.128 the Secretary of State agrees that work to improve Newgate Lane/Longfield Avenue junction for walkers and cyclists to improve accessibility between the site and retail and employment opportunities at Newgate Lane (D8) is necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms (IR11.128).

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council However, as the mitigation has not yet been developed, and the Schedule Eight – Highway Works D8 Contribution requested by HCC relates to a much larger scheme, the Secretary of State , like the Inspector at IR11.128, is not satisfied that the contribution is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development and agrees with the Inspector that the contribution would not comply with the CIL tests. Therefore this contribution is subject to the ’blue pencil’ clause. 32. For the reasons given at IR11.129-11.135 the Secretary of State agrees that whilst the appeal scheme may add to the congestion at the Gudge Heath Lane/A27 junction it would not significantly add to the congestion or exacerbate the existing conditions for pedestrians and cyclists (IR11.135). She agrees with the Inspector at IR11.135 that requiring the appellant to fund the full costs of the works to Gudge Heath Lane/A27 (D9) would not comply with the CIL tests.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council She further agrees with the Inspector’s reasoning and conclusion at IR11.136 that there is insufficient information to conclude that the alternative lower figure proposed by the appellant would be reasonably related in scale and kind to the development and that the lower contribution would not comply with the CIL tests. Therefore, the Schedule Eight – Highway Works D9 contribution would be subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. 33. For the reasons given at IR11.97-11.137 the Secretary of State considers the residual cumulative impacts on the road networks would not be severe. However, she acknowledges that the residual transport impacts such as increased congestion are an adverse impact of the scheme and she gives them limited negative weight. Biodiversity Units on Site and Nitrates 34. For the reasons given at IR11.138-11.140 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.140 that the obligations in relation to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Nitrates are not necessary to make the development acceptable. She further agrees they cannot be a reason for granting planning permission, noting that they are excluded from the ‘blue pencil’ clause. The Secretary of State has not taken the 6

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council obligations in Schedule Nine – Biodiversity Units on Site and Ten- Nitrates into account when reaching a decision on this case. CIL 35. For the reasons given at IR11.143-11.148 the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that it is a matter for the Council as to how this levy is used and to decide whether the items of infrastructure not secured in the UU are a priority (IR11.148). Benefits of the Proposal 36. The Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector at IR11.164 that the proposal would provide considerable economic environmental and social benefits including the delivery of affordable housing, extra care accommodation and market housing. 37. In addition to housing (market housing, affordable housing, self and custom build housing and specialist housing), the Secretary of State considers that BNG (43% habitat and 19% hedgerow); active and sustainable travel improvements (routes through the site and connections and improvements to the existing road network); provision of physical and community infrastructure (local centre, land for a sports hub, land and contribution for a primary school, and open space including a country park, bird reserve and play areas) are benefits of the scheme.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council She considers that the benefits of the scheme collectively carry substantial weight. Other matters 38. The Secretary of State is the Competent Authority for the purposes of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and for the reasons set out at IR11.149- 11.154 she agrees with the Inspector that she is required to make an Appropriate Assessment of the implications of that plan or project on the integrity of any affected European site in view of each site’s conservation objectives. Those sites within an influential proximity are Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA, Portsmouth Harbour Ramsar/SPA, Solent & Dorset Coast SPA, Solent Maritime SAC and the New Forest SPA/SAC/Ramsar. The Secretary of State agrees with the assessment and findings in Appendix E of the IR. She therefore adopts Appendix E as the necessary Appropriate Assessment in her role as the Competent Authority on this matter, and agrees that there would be no adverse effect on the integrity of the designated sites. 39. The Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector at IR11.155 that the principle of development is acceptable.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council She agrees that the land use parameter plan depicts the arrangement of uses across the site and is consistent with the Indicative Framework Plan and the masterplanning principles at appendix D of the FLP associated with policy HA55 (IR11.163) including in regard to the delineation of the Strategic Gap (IR11.156). Given it is an allocated site, the Secretary of State gives limited negative weight to the reduction of the strategic gap, associated loss of best and most versatile (BMV) land and change to the landscape character of the area. 40. The Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector at IR11.157 that height and layout including lighting and fencing will be addressed as part of the reserved matters. She notes that lighting and fencing for the Sports Hub are specific requirements of proposed Condition 30. She further notes that proposed Condition 4 requires development to be in accordance with the Land Use and Green Infrastructure Plan (IR3.2) and that proposed Condition 7 requires a Design Code to be submitted and for that Design Code to be in 7

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council accordance with the Policy HA55 Illustrative Masterplan and Supporting Principles in Appendix D of the FLP. 41. The Secretary of State notes that the Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment and the appellant’s Transport Assessment found the proposal to be acceptable in terms of its impact on the highway network and that no substantive evidence to the contrary has been submitted. For the reasons given at IR11.158, she agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion that the appeal scheme would not add significantly to congestion on the Stubbington bypass. 42. For the reasons given at IR11.159-11.161 and paragraphs 13 and 17-19 above the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusions that the development provides sufficient education and health infrastructure. 43. The Secretary of State notes that Southern Water has confirmed that it can facilitate foul sewerage disposal from the proposed development and agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.162 that detailed design issues relating to the foul water infrastructure would be considered at the reserved matters stage. Planning conditions 44.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council The Secretary of State had regard to the Inspector’s analysis at IR6.1, the recommended conditions set out at the end of the IR and the reasons for them, and to national policy in paragraph 57 of the Framework and the relevant Guidance. She is satisfied that the conditions recommended by the Inspector comply with the policy test set out at paragraph 57 of the Framework and that the conditions set out at Annex A should form part of her decision. Planning obligations 45. The Secretary of State has had regard to the Inspector’s analysis at IR6.3-6.41 and IR11.1-11.142 , the planning obligation dated 21 November 2024, paragraph 58 of the Framework, the Guidance and the CIL Regulations 2010, as amended. For the reasons given above she agrees with the Inspector’s conclusion at IR11.141 that the following obligations do not comply with the CIL tests: • Schedule Two - the Sports Hub Provision Contribution • Schedule Five - contributions towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy and the New Forest SPA, New Forest SAC and the New Forest RAMSAR.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council • Schedule Six - Primary Education Contribution B • Schedule Seven - contributions toward footpaths 48, 51, 67, 68, 701 and 75 • Schedule Eight - contributions towards highway mitigation B2, B3, B4, D6, D7, D8 and D9 • Schedules Nine and Ten BNG and Nitrates. 1 Listed as 90 in the IR in error. 8

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council • Schedule Six - Primary Education Contribution B • Schedule Seven - contributions toward footpaths 48, 51, 67, 68, 701 and 75 • Schedule Eight - contributions towards highway mitigation B2, B3, B4, D6, D7, D8 and D9 • Schedules Nine and Ten BNG and Nitrates. 1 Listed as 90 in the IR in error. 8 Therefore, with the exception of Schedules Nine and Ten for the reasons given at paragraph 34, these obligations are subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. She further agrees that the remainder of the contributions comply with the CIL tests. Planning balance and overall conclusion 46. For the reasons given above, the Secretary of State considers that the appeal scheme is in accordance with HA55 of the development plan, and is in accordance with the development plan overall. She has gone on to consider whether there are material considerations which indicate that the proposal should be determined other than in line with the development plan. 47.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council Therefore, with the exception of Schedules Nine and Ten for the reasons given at paragraph 34, these obligations are subject to the ‘blue pencil’ clause. She further agrees that the remainder of the contributions comply with the CIL tests. Planning balance and overall conclusion 46. For the reasons given above, the Secretary of State considers that the appeal scheme is in accordance with HA55 of the development plan, and is in accordance with the development plan overall. She has gone on to consider whether there are material considerations which indicate that the proposal should be determined other than in line with the development plan. 47.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council As the Local Planning Authority (LPA) cannot demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply (IR5.25), paragraph 11(d) of the Framework indicates that planning permission should be granted unless: (i) the application of policies in the Framework that protect areas or assets of particular importance provides a strong reason for refusing the development proposed; or (ii) any adverse impacts of doing so significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against policies in the Framework taken as a whole, having particular regard to key policies for directing development to sustainable locations, making effective use of land, securing well-designed places and providing affordable homes, individually or in combination. 48.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council As the Local Planning Authority (LPA) cannot demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply (IR5.25), paragraph 11(d) of the Framework indicates that planning permission should be granted unless: (i) the application of policies in the Framework that protect areas or assets of particular importance provides a strong reason for refusing the development proposed; or (ii) any adverse impacts of doing so significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against policies in the Framework taken as a whole, having particular regard to key policies for directing development to sustainable locations, making effective use of land, securing well-designed places and providing affordable homes, individually or in combination. 48.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council Weighing in favour of the proposal are housing (market housing, affordable housing, self and custom build housing and specialist housing); BNG (43% habitat and 19% hedgerow); active and sustainable travel improvements (routes through the site and connections and improvements to the existing road network); provision of physical and community infrastructure (local centre, land for a sports hub; land and contribution for a primary school; and open space (including habitat and recreation and play areas), which the Secretary of State considers collectively carry substantial weight. 49. Weighing against the proposal are changes to landscape character, loss of BMV land and increased congestion. The Secretary of State gives each of these limited weight. 50. The Secretary of State considers that in light of her conclusions that there would be no adverse effect on the integrity of the designated sites there are no protective policies which provide a strong reason for refusing the development proposed.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council She further considers that the adverse impacts of granting permission would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against policies in the Framework taken as a whole, having particular regard to key policies for directing development to sustainable locations, making effective use of land, securing well-designed places and providing affordable homes, individually or in combination. The presumption in favour of sustainable development therefore applies. 51. Overall, in applying s.38(6) of the PCPA 2004, the Secretary of State considers that the accordance with the development plan and the material considerations in this case indicate that permission should be granted. 52. The Secretary of State therefore concludes that the appeal should be allowed and permission granted, subject to conditions. 9

Summary of Recommendation: The appeal be allowed and planning permission granted 1 Procedural Matters 1.1 The Inquiry opened on the 29 October 2024 and sat for six days.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 1.2 The application was recovered by the Secretary of State (SoS) on 24 October 2024 on the basis that it was a proposal for a residential development of over 150 units or on a site of over five hectares), which would significantly impact on the Government’s objective to secure a better balance between housing demand and supply and create high quality, sustainable, mixed and inclusive communities. 1.3 This is an appeal against the Council’s failure to determine the application within the prescribed period. The application was considered by the Council on 8 August 2024. It resolved that had it been in a position to determine the application it would have refused planning permission.

The application was considered by the Council on 8 August 2024. It resolved that had it been in a position to determine the application it would have refused planning permission.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The putative reason for refusal was that the development would be contrary to Policies HP5, HP7, HP8, R4, NE1, NE3, NE5, TIN1, TIN2, TIN4 and D1 of the Fareham Local Plan 2037 (FLP), and was unacceptable due to its failure to secure the delivery of affordable housing and an extra care facility, accessible or adaptable housing, custom and self-build plots, sustainable mode improvements, highway mitigation, publicly accessible open space, a bird reserve, a community facility, a local centre, sports pitches, early years provision, and a primary school. The reason also included the failure to provide a financial contribution towards off-site health care, a school travel plan, school places for pupils with special educational needs, an increase in secondary school capacity, an employment and skills training plan, upgrades to Public Rights of Way (PROW) and a monitoring fee. A number of these matters were resolved prior to the commencement of the Inquiry. The matters agreed are set out at Section 5 of this Report. 1.4 The proposal is for outline permission with access only to be determined at this stage. The application includes a Land Use and Green Infrastructure Parameter Plan (drawing number 148-AAP-02 Rev V).

The planning obligations are explained at Section 11 of this Report. 1.6 The appeal Scheme qualifies as an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development. 1.7 An Environmental Statement (ES) and various associated addendum under The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 was submitted with the planning application to assess the likely significant effects on a number of topic areas scoped into the report. The Planning Inspectorate undertook a review of the ES, including addendums, in accordance with Schedule 4, Part 2 of the EIA Regulations on 10 September 2024 and concluded that the ES is adequate. No legal points have been raised over the adequacy of the ES. I have taken the ES, the wider application submissions and the consultation responses into account in producing this report and in making my recommendation. 2 The Site and Surroundings 2.1 The appeal site is located immediately south of the existing built-up edge of Fareham.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM It occupies the majority of the land allocated under Policy HA55 of the Fareham Local Plan 2037 (FLP) to provide residential and mixed use including a primary school, local centre, natural spaces and sports hub. 2.2 The majority of the appeal site is arable land in agricultural use and extends to about 78 hectares in size. Part of the appeal site includes highway land at Longfield Avenue and Peak Lane. The site is bisected by Peak Lane, which runs in a north-south direction between Fareham to the north, and the village of Stubbington to the south. 2.3 The site is bounded to the north by Longfield Avenue and Rowan Way which form the southern extent of Fareham’s built-up area in this location. The urban area to the north is primarily residential with associated community facilities including retail and education. To the east is situated HMS Collingwood, the headquarters of the Royal Navy’s training establishment. To the west is Ranvilles Lane, beyond which the site is bounded by agricultural fields leading to Titchfield Road and the Meon Valley. To the south are open arable fields leading up to the urban edge of Stubbington.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 2.4 The recently constructed Stubbington Bypass is situated to the south and connects Gosport Road, Peak Lane and Titchfield Road. 2.5 The appeal site comprises two large irregular shaped fields. The boundaries are typically formed by gappy hedgerows with some mature hedgerow trees. Tree cover is most notable along Longfield Avenue to the north of the site and within smaller clusters along Tanners Lane to the south and Peak Lane. None of the trees within or adjacent to the appeal site are subject to Tree Preservation Orders. To the north-west a small woodland known as Oxleys Coppice adjoins the appeal site. Oxleys Coppice is classed as Ancient Woodland and a Site of Interest for Nature Conservation. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 4

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 Site Location (Design and Access Statement p25) 2.6 Footpath 67, a Public Right of Way (PROW) runs across the site, whilst footpath 75 separates the site from HMS Collingwood. Footpath 67 runs along Tanners Lane adjacent to the site’s southern boundary. Several drainage ditches are present across this landscape, typically along the hedged field boundaries to the south of Oxleys Coppice and to the north of Tanners Lane. Some of these features are dry but the majority contain aquatic and marginal vegetation. 2.7 The appeal site is located close to Fareham Town Centre, the Solent Enterprise Zone at Daedalus, the railway station and existing local services and amenities with good access to walking, cycling and public transport links. Local shops and other facilities are situated at Bishopsfield Avenue to the north of the site. 2.8 The Seale / Williams land forms part of allocation HA55, but is in separate ownership from the appeal site and is identified for development. The area to the south of Tanner Lane (the Baird Land) remains part of the strategic gap.

Part of the appeal site is categorised as low-use classification for Wading Birds and Brent Geese. 3 The Appeal Scheme 3.1 The application is for up to 1,200 homes, including an 80 bed care home within the local centre, as well as self-build and custom build dwellings. A new local centre (up to 800 square metres of flexible commercial floorspace, a community centre,) green infrastructure including a country park and sports hub, ecological mitigation, and a two-form entry primary school. The proposed vehicular access would be from Longfield Avenue, with an additional access from Peak Lane. The Scheme would also include one Neighbourhood Area of Play located to the south of the proposed primary school and two Local Equipped Areas of Play. 3.2 The Land Use and Green infrastructure Parameter Plan (148-AAP-02 Rev V) depicts the arrangements of uses across the appeal site. The application seeks to provide 1,200 homes across a range of types, tenure and densities. The higher density part of the site will be focussed around the Local Centre where a minimum of 135 flats are to be provided.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Higher density areas (including further flatted accommodation) are also proposed along the northern edge of the site fronting onto Longfield Avenue. The scale and density reduce to the south and west of the site. 3.3 The built form is focused into a series of blocks stemming from the northern edge of the site, broken up by a series of green corridors running both east to west and north to south. Opposite the junction of Bishopsfield Road with Longfield Avenue is the main green corridor through the site. This is the biggest and widest of the green corridors with views extending beyond the site southwards across the strategic gap towards Stubbington. 3.4 Towards the south of the built form, at the end of the main green corridor, is a two-hectare site to provide a new primary school. To the south-east corner of the application site, and east of the school, a 4.3 hectare area of land is identified for a sports hub, which would allow for a mixture of sports fields, courts and other associated facilities. 3.5 South and west of the school site, between the edge of the built form and the Stubbington Bypass is an area proposed as green infrastructure.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM This area includes new habitat creation, walking routes, sustainable drainage features and key structural planting. This area of open space will also connect into the existing rights of way network adjacent to the appeal site. 3.6 To the west of Peak Lane there is no development proposed other than the works necessary to create a new bird reserve and ecological enhancement area. 3.7 The land west of Peak Lane extends to 22.84 hectares and would be laid out to provide a central area of 10 hectares as a publicly restricted bird reserve. Access to the bird reserve by people and dogs is to be limited by fencing, defensive ditches, open water and native hedgerow planting to create natural barriers to this enclosure. Either side of the bird reserve two areas of semi natural greenspace are proposed for informal recreation. These would be linked by paths to the north and south of the main bird reserve to create a circular walk and to connect into https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 6

The northernmost of these routes would be designed to enable the landscape to also function as a buffer to the edge of Oxleys Coppice in the interest of protecting and limiting access into the woodland.

The area of land shown measures 4.3 hectares consistent with Appendix D. The mechanism by which the sports hub is provided is not agreed. Design/Environmental Conditions 5.20 The appeal Scheme provides a wholly appropriate framework for design principles specified by Policy HA55.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The arrangement of land uses across the appeal site does not give rise to conflict with any of the criteria relevant to this stage in the planning process. Consistent with Policy HA55 (criterion a), a Design Code will be required pursuant to a planning condition. 5.21 The central spine (Linear Park) would provide openness and visual connectivity between Bishopsfield Road and Longfield Avenue. 5.22 Noise and Air Quality assessments undertaken by the appellant are to the satisfaction of the LPA. Noise from the Stubbington bypass does not create unacceptable living conditions within the development. Increased traffic levels from the proposed development would have a negligible effect on noise sensitive receptors Traffic from the proposed development would have a negligible effect on air quality. 5.23 The Seale / Williams land is not part of the appeal site. It is not subject to any other planning application. The land use and green infrastructure plan identifies where vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access may be obtained to the Seale / Williams land to enable its development should the landowner seek to bring forward that land at a later date. 5.24 Policy D4 seeks to protect river, coastal and groundwater resources.

This engages the Framework presumption in favour of sustainable development and there is a demonstrable need to significantly boost the supply of homes in the Borough. Education (ID 7) 5.26 The Education SoCG between the appellant and HCC was updated during the course of the Inquiry. 5.27 The development of up to 1,200 dwellings would generate a need for up to 160 early years places, depending on the number of eligible dwellings the development delivers. The location of the early years either in the local centre or in the sports hub is agreed in principle. Delivery of these Early Years places will be via an operator based on commercial terms agreed with the developer. 5.28 The current school forecasts indicate that there would be sufficient capacity for secondary age children at the catchment school Crofton School and at other secondary schools within the vicinity of the appeal site. Therefore HCC does not seek a contribution for secondary education provision. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 18

If the development is fewer than 1,200 dwellings, the primary school may change to a 1.5Form Entry (FE) requirement, with the remaining 0.4ha of land set aside for any future expansion required and purchased at education value. 5.31 On the basis of the Guidance on Planning Obligations and Developer Infrastructure Contributions published by HCC dated December 2023 the proposed development of up to 1,200 dwellings will generate up to 360 primary pupils.5 This is based on a figure of 0.3 primary age children per new dwelling for every contributing dwelling of 2 beds or more. Where appropriate, HCC will make an allowance for one-bed units or properties for older persons in our calculation of pupil yield. 5.32 HCC require the developer to provide a clean, unencumbered and fully serviced site free of charge up to the size of school site that mitigates the impact of the development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 5.33 In terms of primary school provision, the pupil yield would suggest a 1.5FE primary school would be sufficient to accommodate those children on site. In those circumstances the local authority would require a 1.6ha site and requires the developer to set aside the remaining primary school site (0.4ha) for education use and reserve it for up to ten years in the planning obligation. The LEA would pay for the additional land at education value. The final make-up of primary school provision will be determined in discussion with the developer and Local Authority on submission of a reserved matters planning application. PROW (ID8)) 5.34 The PROW SoCG between the appellant and FBC was updated during the course of the Inquiry. The Indicative Framework Plan and Illustrative Masterplan identify the general arrangement of pedestrian and cycle routes within the site and links to existing public rights of way.

Self Build/Custom Build (ID25) 5.38 The appellant and FBC agree that on sites of 40 dwellings or more (gross), Policy HP9 requires 10% of the overall dwellings to be provided through the provision of plots for sale to address local self or custom build need. Criterion (j) of Policy HA55 intends that a 50-100 extra care scheme is provided as part of the development.

Following the close of the Inquiry the final agreed version of the conditions was submitted by the parties.11 I am satisfied that the suggested conditions are necessary, relevant to planning and to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise and reasonable in all other respects. The suggested pre-commencement conditions have been agreed by the appellant. 6.2 The suggested conditions and the reasons for imposing them are at Appendix C. 6.3 The appellant also submitted a UU dated 21 November 2024. FBC submitted a CIL compliance statement (ID20) setting out how the planning obligation sought would comply with the Framework paragraph 58 and CIL regulation 122 and the appellant submitted an explanatory note in relation to the UU (ID16).

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 6.4 There is a general "blue pencil" provision in clause 3.3. This enables the SoS to decide that specific obligations and / or covenants included in the UU are not compliant with the tests in Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations 2010 and therefore do not need to be complied with. 6.5 It is the appellant's position that certain pieces of infrastructure should be funded by CIL Receipts (including CIL Receipts from the Development, which are estimated to be £10m), and that the obligations relating to payments of financial contributions for the same pieces of infrastructure are not necessary. I return to this matter in my conclusions below. 6.6 Schedule One makes provision for a policy compliant 40% of the dwellings to be provided as affordable housing. Schedule One also requires the owner to market and dispose of land to an extra care provider for the provision of 50-100 extra care units. In the event that the land is disposed of to an extra care provider, the use of that land is restricted to use for the extra care scheme and the extra care units are to be occupied only by those persons who meet the extra care eligibility criteria.

It also requires the Owner to pay the Sports Hub Contribution to the Council. The Sports Hub Land is a larger area than is required to mitigate the impacts of the Development, and to reflect this, a Sports Hub Land Deduction is included. This comprises the Sports Hub Provision Contribution (£1,569,526) and the Sports Hub Maintenance Contribution (£1,587,747). 6.12 FBC considers that the obligations are compliant with Regulation 122. The appellant disagrees and contends that the Sports Hub Provision Contribution should instead be funded by CIL Receipts.

The planning obligations provide a financial contribution towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy and the New Forest Recreation Mitigation Strategy. The New Forest mitigation contribution is £297.24 per dwelling. The Solent mitigation contribution ranges from £465 for a one-bedroom dwelling to £1,207 for a five-bedroom dwelling. Neither the appellant, nor the LPA consider that these contributions are necessary since the on-site open space is far in excess of policy requirements and is considered to represent a suitable alternative to recreational activities along the coast. For this reason, they consider that the obligations in the UU do not comply with regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations. I return to this matter in my conclusions.

Therefore the appellant is unable to impose any reciprocal obligations upon the LPA to insist that monies are spent for the purposes for which they have been sought. The appellant is thus obliged to rely upon the LPA acting in accordance with its statements of intent in relation to the contents of the FLP and the FBC’s CIL Compliance Statement for this appeal.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 7.8 In relation to the availability of CIL funds to finance the projects in question, it is important to note that no alternative projects (to those identified in its evidence by the Appellant) have been suggested by the Council as the recipients of the substantial £10million CIL which will be paid to FBC. 7.9 There is substantial headroom available for the Council to pay off the Fareham Live debit balance and also finance the sports hub and strategic highway capacity works.21 The appellant’s evidence on this matter was not challenged. 7.10 Regulation 122 applies with full force in this case. The necessity test needs to be brought to bear where £10 million is already being paid by the development towards community infrastructure. SPORTS HUB/PLAYING PITCHES 7.11 The Council is seeking a planning obligation which: i. transfers 3.58ha of land at nil value; ii. lays out pitches and supporting facilities for c. £1.5m; and 19 Paragraph: 034 Reference ID: 23b-034-20190901 20 CD 8.5 21 See Mr Jones POE page 7 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 29

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 iii. makes a commuted maintenance payment of another c. £1.5m. This goes further than is necessary to provide reasonable pitch provision for residents of the appeal development, which does not require that the playing pitch land is transferred to the Council for nil consideration. It also fails to have regard to the £10 million CIL receipt which the Council will receive from the development. 7.12 The sports hub was conceived as a borough wide facility to meet the identified need for additional sports facilities which the playing pitch strategy identified. During the application period the Case Officer confirmed that the s106 could provide for either the transfer of 4.3 ha of land to be transferred to FBC to provide the sports hub, or for 3 ha of land to be equipped for sports provision in accordance with the Planning Obligations SPD (February 2024).22 7.13 The Appellant accepts that, in the absence of the Sports Hub being allocated at HA55, it would need to provide playing pitches.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The appellant accepts FBC’s calculation that for 1200 new homes the calculation amounts to 3.45ha of grass pitches.23 7.14 The Council effectively reserves its position as to how and when it will expend the S106 monies and for what purpose, pending a decision by the Council’s Executive as to what they want to achieve on this Site through CIL and/or any other available forms of funding. 7.15 This appears to be an entirely inequitable position. The suggestion that other CIL monies can be used for the Sports Hub means that the Appellant is simply paying twice. Moreover, it surrenders policy compliance to the LPA without any commitment that sports facilities will in fact be laid out as intended by the IDP or indeed the more modest proposal pursuant to the SPD. 7.16 Accordingly, the Appellant seeks the omission of the £1.5m “provision” element sought by the Council in the planning obligation in order to reflect: i. what is both anticipated and financially achievable via the £10 million CIL receipt; ii. what is accordingly reasonable by reference to CIL Regulation 122; iii. the expectations of the parties as expressed in discussions of many years and in the recent correspondence referenced above.

These are set out on the Schedule accompanying the Revised Highways SoCG.24 B2, B3 & B4 IDP Strategic Highway Improvements 7.20 The Solent Transport Sub-Regional Transport Model (SRTM) shows minimal impacts on these junctions by 2036 – an adding of the order of 3 vehicles to queue lengths.25 The SRTM assumes no modal shift, which is also an excessively conservative basis against which to justify contributions. These impacts are not severe. The position only starts to worsen if the so-called “First Principles” sensitivity is used. It was explained that this is unrealistic, in that it requires an assumption that there is no re-assignment of flows to utilise available highway capacity.26 The Council has not explained why this development should be liable to meet the entire costs of these works. If FBC wishes to implement these works as part of a programme of strategic highways improvements, then they have access to a large pot of CIL funds as a means to achieve this.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM D6 7.21 D6 is an upgrade to 100m Footpath 70 and the 300mm widening of the recently completed existing crossing of the Stubbington bypass. This is not justified, given the presence of a complete and dedicated pedestrian/cycleway alongside the bypass, accessed from the north via a toucan crossing with a dedicated pedestrian/cycle phase. There are also substantial doubts about the pupil numbers which will gravitate to Crofton School in preference to the nearby Fareham alternatives, once the development gets underway. D7 7.22 The appellant disputes the necessity to pay c £300,000 towards this scheme, especially given the very substantial works and improvements which will be carried out at this location via item D1. Moreover, D7 is not a fully worked up or costed scheme, just a vaguely expressed concept. It is submitted that D7 does not pass the CIL 122 test. D8 7.23 This is an IDP scheme to which part of the £10 million CIL receipt could and should be directed.

This position is rejected by the appellant and is not CIL 122 compliant. 7.26 The Council’s alternative position is that the proportion of as yet unconsented, but allocated developments of more than 50 units, can be defined and the appellant should meet the remaining proportion based on the number of dwellings proposed. Notwithstanding this, the appellant does not accept the Council’s position that developments with fewer than 50 dwellings and windfall developments should be exempted from paying their fair share towards these works, and so an alternative percentage has been included to give the appellant’s position if the principle of the contribution is accepted. PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY 7.27 The countryside access division of HCC sought contributions towards the upgrading of a wide variety of public rights of way in Fareham.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Many of these links are geographically remote from the appeal development and could not conceivably be said to be “necessary” in order to mitigate the impacts of the development in accordance with CIL Regulation 122. FBC agrees in most cases and has effectively disavowed these requests. HEALTH 7.28 Healthcare is funded by central government and funding follows population. The Appellant is not creating people; it is just providing homes for them. 7.29 As explained, there must be real doubt about the extent to which a house builder can legitimately be asked to fund health care provision. This is compounded by the fact that GP surgeries are also in most cases privately held assets owned by the GPs themselves (such as the Stubbington and Gudge Heath Lane practices) and there must be a major question mark about whether a housebuilder should be asked to subsidise GP practices. 7.30 The appellant has referenced a number of Decision Letters that support this position. The ICB submitted a series of Decision Letters which it claimed supported its position. However, these Decision Letters do not appear to have proceeded on the basis of fully argued opposition to requests for major healthcare contributions.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Whenever this issue has been the subject of proper evidence and that evidence has been properly tested, the “ask” for health contributions has not been accepted to be CIL compliant. 7.31 Where a developer is creating a new community and healthcare facilities are considered to play a necessary role at the heart of that community, then laying out a new local centre so as to provide for a new surgery or medical centre is entirely sensible and legitimate.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 7.32 Instead, the suggestion has been made that the preferred approach is to seek a per capita contribution for expanding existing surgeries in the adjoining areas. It is apparent that no final choice has been made as to which is the preferred option. The preference appears to be re-locating the existing privately owned Stubbington medical practice onto a new site. There are no costings available for this project; no indication of the value of the existing site or whether it would be re-developed for housing (with consequential major uplift in site value) nor the cost of the new site (said to be Council owned) or build costs for the new premises. The “ask” is simply a head tax on the whole appeal development with no clear indication of whether, how, when or where these funds would be spent and no guarantee that they would be spent at all. 7.33 The Appellant is supportive of a facility at the new local centre, which is within its gift. The same cannot be said of the extremely unclear alternative concept, which now appears to be in contemplation. There is no evidence of unacceptable waiting times; nothing to test beyond anecdote – and even that is very limited.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 7.34 It is submitted that the head tax cannot possibly meet the CIL 122 tests. The appellant advances tentatively a middle way which assumes acceptance of the principle that a health contribution should be made. It is wrong to assume that every single one of the residents of the new development will be wholly new to Fareham and will not already be on the books of one or other GP’s practice in the area. The main group at the top end of the cascade eligible for Affordable Housing will need to be resident locally. Only lower down the cascade do residents in adjoining areas become eligible. 7.35 Similarly, many of those coming to the market accommodation will be existing Fareham residents, with jobs in the area, children at local schools, looking to trade up or down in house size and/or format. These residents are highly likely to be on the lists of existing Fareham GPs and to exhibit a preference to remain with their existing GP. 7.36 However, the precise number cannot be known and will not be known until the development is built out and occupied. Moreover, it being a UU, there is no way of securing repayment of any sum overpaid.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Accordingly, the middle ground figure uses the 40% Affordable Housing figure as a rough proxy for the number of residents moving to the appeal development who will likely have originated in the Fareham area, with an existing GP who they will wish to retain in the absence of an onsite practice and the need to go off-site for GP services. EDUCATION 7.37 The ground has narrowed to a considerable degree and there are two options in the UU. 7.38 The starting point is that CIL 122 requires any contribution to be directly related to the development. The second key element of context is falling birth rates and the existence of increasing capacity in existing local schools. For secondary education, this capacity is so great that the development can be accommodated without the need for new school infrastructure. There is also substantial unused primary capacity in the areas surrounding the school. However, the Appellant has always recognised that, whatever the position with unused capacity, it is an https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 33

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 important feature of place-making that the new community at HA55 has a primary school at its heart. HA55 anticipated a need for a 2FE primary school. 7.39 The primary pupil yield of the new development will not reach the 315 required for a 1.5 FE school. It will sit halfway between 1 FE and 1.5FE. A contribution to build 1.5FE would exceed what is required to serve the development. 7.40 The location of the school land has been established by Appendix D to the FLP. It is in the southeastern part of the site, which will only be opened up midway through the development programme. HCC only seek transfer of the school site at 500 units. It is therefore likely that some residents of the initial phases will establish their children in nearby primary schools with capacity. At the same time, there will be other developments coming forward post the approval of the appeal development with additional pupil yield - such as the Seale/Williams land within the HA55 allocation (with a potential for 50-75 units) and other nearby windfall development, all potentially making education contributions.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 7.41 Against this backdrop, the Appellant considers it to be proportionate to commit now to fund a 1FE primary school and to pay to HCC proportionate contributions to take it phase by phase to the point where it can consider whether there is unmet primary need, alongside other development and their accrued contributions, such as to trigger the commissioning of another 0.5FE. 7.42 The HCC approach of forcing the Appellant to commit now to provide substantially more capacity than may be required to serve the appeal development is neither sensible nor CIL 122 compliant. The land transfer is not affected by this phased approach, as the land sufficient for 1.5 FE will be transferred in the first tranche. ECOLOGY 7.43 There is consensus between the appellant and LPA that the appeal proposals make more than adequate provision to mitigate their ecological impacts. Only Natural England seeks further financial contributions, although these are expressed to be on a precautionary basis, rather than because there is clear evidence of unmitigated residual effects. 7.44 Mr Goodman’s evidence, on behalf of the appellant was unchallenged.

It therefore represents a very important component of the Borough’s future housing supply. The only matters separating the LPA and the appellant are those issues relating to the question of what conditions and s106 obligations are required to make the development acceptable. 8.2 The appeal process has been hallmarked by a determined approach on both sides to seek to agree obligations and conditions. Where disagreement remains, the UU allows the decision maker to decide whether any such obligation meets the CIL tests by reference to the options presented under each head. 8.3 The impact of the measures sought on the viability of the development is not an issue before the Inquiry. The question for this Inquiry is whether what is being sought meets the legal and Framework tests for conditions and the CIL Regulation122 test for obligations.

CIL was adjusted downwards for this site to account for s.106 costs which were forecast at that time and as are set out in the IDP [CD 8.7]. This includes all those obligations and contributions now sought. 8.5 Whether or not CIL monies might be available to fund some of the transport or sports infrastructure in the future is not material to the judgments to be exercised for this purpose. In the absence of an annual funding statement that makes any such commitment, and there is no such commitment, it cannot be relevant. The CIL regime does not impose any requirement on a charging authority to direct funding to a particular item of infrastructure in any given case. Parliament has left it to charging authorities to make that decision in the reasonable exercise of their discretionary powers.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 8.6 If there is no stated intention expressed through the annual funding statement actually to fund (in whole or part) the items of infrastructure which are required, or to which contributions are sought (which there is not), and the CIL tests are met in relation to each of them, this is all that matters for the purposes of the Minister’s decision. 8.7 The fact that a specific item of infrastructure may perform a broader community function is not uncommon. Indeed, the provision of community infrastructure which is needed for a particular development should promote social cohesion and integration with the broader community. The essential issue is whether the required infrastructure is necessary, in both scale and kind, to support the needs of the future population of the proposed development and to make it sustainable. The fact that it would perform a broader function does not, of itself, take it outside the requirements of Regulation122(2)(c). 8.8 A similar point can be made in relation to an item of infrastructure that is needed to prevent unacceptable harm occurring through the use or operation of the proposed development.

That is a proper policy basis on which to seek certainty that such impacts would not occur, rather than risk that they either will, or probably would, occur in the absence of the contribution. 8.9 This does not take it outside the requirements of Regulation122(2)(c) and lawfully could, in my submission, be a reason for granting permission. However, it is acknowledged that a requirement to make a contribution must be justified by reference to the evidence and the application of this test. To this end it may be considered that a proportionate contribution would be an appropriate basis of providing the means to avoid harm, or to mitigate it to an acceptable degree. It follows from the above that proportionality may not be the determining factor in every case, especially if it is found that the overriding requirement should be to avoid the harm that would otherwise be caused.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM This would logically flow from a determination in the present case that the level of harm caused in a particular case would be lower than the LPA contends. 8.10 Policy HA55 (d) requires high quality homes and public spaces that create attractive places where pedestrian movement is prioritised and residents can safely walk to local shops, cafes, community spaces, sports recreation and health facilities. This is not confined to destinations within the development site alone. Para (f) requires that pedestrian and cycle links will be provided through to the Rapid Transport bus services and a network of linked footpaths within the site and to the existing PROW network to connect to Fareham Town Centre and rail station, other settlement centres, facilities and services and employment hubs. 8.11 The Policy also requires the delivery of infrastructure and contributions towards infrastructure including health, education and transport in accordance with Policies TIN4 and NE3.

Indeed, and as stated above, there is no legal requirement on charging authorities to apply CIL funds to infrastructure improvements for which planning obligations are sought. 8.13 The Guidance asks the question whether there are specific circumstances where contributions should not be sought. Tellingly, it is silent on the issue of the levy other than in relation to affordable housing and small developments.29 In relation to future funding through CIL, the Guidance states that infrastructure funding statements should set out the projects or types of infrastructure that the authority intends to fund, either wholly or partly, by the levy or planning obligations, but with the express caveat (again, this reflects the position in law) that “this will not dictate how funds must be spent…”.30 THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH ARE SOUGHT AND THE MEASURE OF DISCRETION HIGHWAYS 8.14 B2 to B4 junctions are identified in the IDP as forming part of the strategic transport infrastructure type but are also identified as requiring mitigation through the use of contributions and s278 agreements.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM This is because they were assessed for the purposes of the information base for the local plan as being impacted by development. The Local Highway Authority’s (LHA) individual assessment of these junctions indicates that the proposed development will have far the biggest impact on these junctions and that the Framework thresholds for acceptability will be exceeded. There is a difference of view between the appellant and the Council in relation to the assessment. 8.15 In relation to B2, the Titchfield Gyratory, the Council accepts that the impact is cumulative, but that the principal contributor would be the appeal Scheme. The LHA’s assessment specifically only considers the non-committed development element of the relevant allocation policies to reflect the fact that, in a number of cases, development linked to these policies has already been granted consent or would be granted consent as a series of small-scale development sites. This had and will have the effect of severely limiting the LHA’s ability to seek fair and appropriate contributions towards the IDP schemes in line with the CIL tests during determination of each of the relevant planning applications.

The relevant figures for each side are identified in the final SoCG. 8.18 The “D” items are regarded by the LPA and the LHA as constituting vital sustainable transport measures which are necessitated by the development and fulfil the CIL tests. There are three that are not agreed. In the case of D6, there is disagreement whether the improved pedestrian and cycle links to the secondary school need upgrading to make them safe having regard to the sufficiency of the existing route to accommodate an extra 103 secondary pupils cycling to Crofton School from the development. 8.19 D7 is the Rowan Way/Longfield Avenue/Peak Lane LCWIP scheme. The essential requirement here arises out of highway safety and particularly the safety of cyclists using this junction. The Appellant has underestimated the wider impact of their development on safety by excluding consideration of the impact of additional vehicular traffic on the safety of cyclists already using the junction.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The works agreed under D1 would satisfactorily address the issue of safety to cyclists from the development in the east-west direction. In the absence of the remaining improvement works identified under D7, the wider impact of this development on road safety would be unacceptable. 8.20 As set out in the SoCG, the contribution which is sought is apportioned and is consistent with the approach taken with the Crofton Cemetery development. 8.21 D9 is the Gudge Heath Lane/A27 IDP non-highway capacity scheme. The difference between the parties relates to the severity of impact of the development requiring either a full contribution or a proportionate one. The Council accepts that the impact is cumulative, but that the principal contributor would be the Appeal Scheme. The methodology used to derive contribution apportionment is a matter of dispute between the Appellant and the Council. If, it is concluded that the contribution should be apportioned, the LPA/LHA will need to secure future funding of the balance in due course prior to the 801st occupation which is in year 12 of the plan period (2033/34).

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM If the appellant’s assessment is accepted, and putting the appellant’s CIL argument to one side, the appropriate figure would be £206,025. 8.22 The Council is content with the drafting of the UU. It allows the LHA requirements to be imposed if minded to do so in each case. Although the LHA required a s.278 agreement approach to items A1, C1, D1, D3, D4, D5 and D6, the LHA has accepted that the appellant may nominate whether it carries out the work or pays a contribution for D3, D5 and D6 (Clause 3, Schedule 8). There is a restriction on occupation related to the delivery of these works. EDUCATION 8.23 National Guidance on Securing Developer Contributions For Education (August 2023) identifies the importance that impacts of development should be adequately mitigated, requiring, inter alia, an understanding of the educational needs arising from the development based on up to date pupil yield factors and the extent to which developer contributions are required and the degree of certainty that they will be secured at the appropriate time. Paragraph 10 confirms https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 38

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 that enough time should be allowed for contributions to be used to provide a new school for large developments. Paragraph 11 acknowledges that the Basic Need Grant, the free schools programme and other capital funding do not negate housing developers’ responsibility to mitigate the impact of their development on education. 8.24 Paragraph 62 provides that as far as possible (and often in relation to primary schools), new settlements large enough to require a new school should be expected to meet their full education requirement. Moreover, and very importantly, it provides that where an on-site school is required, it should be large enough to meet the need generated by the development, based on standard class sizes and forms of entry it follows that if this development requires more than a 1 FE school, which is more likely than not, it should be providing the nearest standard class size, even if it leads to a little spare capacity over the longer term as this is the only means by which it can be secured to meet the identified need.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The LEA estimate is that based on the outline parameters, the development would have the potential to generate the need for the equivalent of a 1.2 FE, based on the LEA’s standard assessment criteria 8.25 The Guidance (paragraph 63) provides that the capacity of existing primary schools beyond safe walking distance does not need to be considered when calculating developer contributions for permanent new settlements. In this case, there is interim capacity in schools that are within walking and cycling distance, but this requires that access to them on foot and by bicycle is achieved safely. This supports the required condition that safe routes are provided through the development to achieve a satisfactory interim solution. The prospect of some spare capacity in other primary schools in the area does not justify eschewing the policy requirement for a school which has recently been found sound. The reasons are manifold but include the need to create an inclusive and self- sustaining community in the longer term. 8.26 The LEA is content that adequate capacity is available in existing primary schools within 2 miles of the application site, for the time being. This is not a longer-term solution.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 8.27 The LEA considers that the contribution sought satisfies the CIL criteria in all respects. Should the SoS not be satisfied that the full costs of a 1.5 FE are justified in this case, the apportioned calculation is based upon an agreed formula. PRIMARY HEALTHCARE 8.28 The Council is concerned to make sure that there is sufficient primary healthcare capacity to service the development in the medium and long term. A contribution is sought to be used to expand Fareham Medical Centre or such other existing or proposed site as notified by the Council if the ICB so advise. The contribution sought on behalf of the ICB is £721,123 as a function of dwelling yield. The LPA has no rational basis or justification to depart from the reasoning advanced by the ICB in this case and is of the view that what is required is reasonable and meets the CIL tests. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 39

It is wrong to assume, in the absence of evidence, that all those occupying the affordable dwellings would already be on the lists of those surgeries in the vicinity of the development and the closest GP catchments and to do this by way of a proxy. Moreover, dwellings vacated by the residents will themselves be occupied by new occupants who will need access to primary healthcare services. We do not know whether these new occupiers would be on existing GP patient lists in or near the relevant catchment or not. The proposed reduced contribution of 40% based on the affordable element of the development alone is not justified by the evidence before the Inquiry. 8.30 The evidence clearly demonstrates that Local lists are already full or over- subscribed. The Appellant does not provide credible evidence to countermand the evidence of need from the ICB.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The fact that practice lists remain open is neither here nor there given the prevailing circumstances in the area, and does not itself indicate that these practices are performing without undue stress. The evidence from the ICB clearly demonstrates that the additional capacity sought is necessary. The evidence of the Rt Hon S. Braverman KC MP without doubt, underlines the public disquiet and frustration over waiting times. Delays engendered by longer waiting lists has consequences for the wellbeing of patients who suffer more with worsening conditions and impacts on acute services, either because patients are compelled to resort to them when they cannot get a timely GP appointment or end up requiring these services because of the harm caused by delay. 8.31 The Appellant’s proposition that no contribution should be sought is preposterous given the weight and integrity of the evidence produced by the ICB in its consultation responses and as eloquently expressed to this inquiry by Mr Dicken. SPORT AND RECREATION 8.32 In terms of the Sports Hub the Council seeks 4.3 hectares of serviced land to be transferred to the Council, of which 3.45 hectares would be sports pitches based on SPD requirements for the site.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The Council would create and maintain the pitches utilising a sum to be paid by the appellants. This sum would also be used to provide and maintain changing rooms for four teams and officials and a community area (0.03 hectares) and a 50 space car park covering an area 0.1 hectare. The development justifies a total of 3.58 hectares based upon the need for facilities generated by the development. Hence, we acknowledge that the additional land which is being sought of 0.72 hectares is required to fulfil the HA55 Appendix D masterplan. It follows that the value attributable to this additional land should be subtracted from the overall contribution sought. We have agreed an index linked figure of £250,000 per hectare, so proportionately the discount on the contribution would be £180,000, index linked. Thus, we are of the view that in all respects the CIL tests are met in relation to this requirement. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 40

A contribution of £555,666.00 is sought towards resurfacing and widening where feasible. 9.4 Footpaths 48, 49, 50 and 51 all run into or along the Meon Valley. They provide public access to the nature reserve.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Although they can sustain the existing level of public use, they cannot accommodate the increase in use from this proposed development. 9.5 The population of the proposed development is to be guided to use Ranvilles Lane and Footpath 122 (for walkers) to Titchfield Road and Bridge Street to access FP48 from its north end. The contributions are necessary to mitigate for the on-going likely harm to the PROW and the internationally designated environment resulting from the intensification of the use of the network by the future residents of the proposed Scheme. The HCC costed project to resurface and improve Footpaths 48 and 51 is part funded by another local residential development (£183,500 from 57 dwellings).32 Therefore, HCC seek a contribution of £555,666.00 to cover the remainder of the cost of this project. This contribution is from this proposed development for 1200 dwellings. 9.6 Footpath 67 runs approximately 50% within the green area of the site and 50% outside the site. It connects Peak Lane, at the western end of FP68, to Ranvilles Lane, a previous road now used as a bound surfaced public active travel route for equestrians, cyclists and pedestrians.

It is intended to use the greenspace around this PROW for the countryside access and recreation for the proposal’s future population and as the alternative to accessing the Solent SPA. In the context of the proposed development, Footpath 67 forms a key element of any circular route around the wider site and its green spaces. 9.7 The part of this PROW outside the site would provide a link to any circular route by the future residents and will see intensification due to this.

HCC seek to upgrade the footpath to a Bridleway, with a suitable unbound surfacing, and a replacement bridge in order to address the need to enhance cycling access from the site and accommodate the intensification of use from the site’s residents. The requested contributions to surface, upgrade, and replace the bridge to FP67 is notably sound and necessary to allow this Scheme to be considered in accordance with relevant policy. 9.8 Footpaths 68 and 70 provide access along the southern boundary of the site, east from Peak Lane and then south providing public access to Stubbington, Newgate Lane and the shared cycle/foot way running along Daedalus Way. 9.9 Approximately a 100m long section of FP68 runs to the north of Stroud Green Lane. The PROW here is unsurfaced and runs along the southern embankment of a fishing pond. This stretch of Stroud Green Lane is not public highway and therefore does not have a public right of access. Therefore, this Scheme needs to address this issue to resolve the ability to use FP68 for active travel and school access.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Firstly, the upgrade of the route to bridleway. Secondly, resolving the stretch where the PROW and concrete surface deviate. 9.10 Enhancement is required for the short length of FP70 that connects FP68 to the Daedalus Way, and its associated crossing point of the bypass to the Daedalus Way shared cycle/foot way. This connects the development to the existing active travel school travel route. HCC supports this and consider the PROW aspects included within the contributions for the protection and enhancement of FP68. 9.11 Footpath 75 runs north-south along the eastern boundary of the site, connecting FP68 to Long Field Avenue. HCC seeks the surfacing of the route with a bound or unbound material to a 3 metre minimum width and the upgrade of the route to a bridleway. 9.12 It is proposed to provide a permissive shared pedestrian/cycling route within the site to the west of the existing hedgerow instead of contributing to the protection of FP75. This proposed route would not be put forward for dedication by the applicant. This is unacceptable to HCC since it would not protect the PROW, or be a PROW so the public would have no right to pass and repass.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 9.13 The LPA states that relocating the route to the west of the hedgerow would improve security for users due to overlooking. However, the existing line of the Footpath is already overlooked by HMS Collingwood. 9.14 HCC maintains the position of requesting contributions to a total of £915,466.00 (index linked) for the protection and enhancement of the local PROW network made necessary by the potential, significant harm to that network by this proposed development. The development’s future residents will be heavily dependent upon the local PROW network and it is considered that the current Scheme, as put forward by the applicant/appellant, is insufficient to demonstrate accordance with policy nor to prevent ongoing damage to the Public Rights of Way Green Infrastructure and its associated loss of quality, attractiveness, and facility for the existing local community. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 42

Existing infrastructure capacity i.e. the number of GP consulting or nurse treatment rooms has a maximum number of patient appointments that can be undertaken. If the existing capacity is insufficient, then this creates harm in the following circumstances: - Patients wait longer to receive an appointment during which for some it is possible that their condition will worsen creating extended periods of illness or leads to an exacerbation of their conditions requiring extended recovery periods. - Patients who are unable to receive an appointment within a reasonable timeframe make alternative arrangements such as visiting their local emergency departments which then creates additional healthcare pressures. 9.19 The only surgery whose catchment currently covers the proposed development is the Gudgeheath Lane Surgery which is already operating with 4,464 more patients than its capacity for 4,985 patients.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The Scheme represents the single largest development within the borough apart from Welborne. It appears as misguided, disproportionate and unreasonable but so many homes are to be built here now that the Welborne homes are coming on stream after many years of preparatory work. 9.25 My primary position is that this development should not go ahead. However, the Council and the appellant have now agreed the principle of development. I therefore wish to voice my significant concerns about the impact on local health care and educational services. There are three main reasons why I have objected to this development. 9.26 Firstly, increased urban sprawl will permanently decimate irreplaceable cherished countryside, destroying the strategic gap. The land is an important area of countryside and forms a critical Strategic Gapin the Solent region. The rejuvenation of plentiful brownfield sites should be prioritised rather than paving over the countryside. The developer’s failure to secure the delivery management and maintenance of publicly accessible open space within the development (mentioned as part of the reasons for refusal) is a powerful factor.

Despite the successful introduction of the Stubbington bypass the roads will become overcrowded. The Gosport peninsula is not connected by mainline rail services and this proposal seeks to add further complications to travel capacity due to its heavily car dependent location. 9.28 Lastly, local health care and educational services will be put under unsustainable pressure. Already overstretched local services will not be able to cope. These include dental surgeries, schools, hospitals, local healthcare and SEND provision. Insufficient consideration has been given to these issues. I agree with the Council's assessment, namely that the proposal fails to secure the provision of a financial contribution towards off-site healthcare provision, the delivery of early years provision, the delivery of a primary school on site, a financial contribution https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 44

Both of these centres are overwhelmed already with many patients reporting that they struggle to access GP services. GP's also tell me they are under resourced to cope with the existing demand and that their surgeries are at full capacity. 9.30 There is concern that the healthcare facility is not acceptable as it does not provide enough capacity the ICB has concerns about the size, location and lack of funding. I share these concerns. The combination of increased house building in the Fareham/Gosport area and the predominance of an older demographic in the area mean that our local primary care services are overwhelmed. 9.31 Hampshire, and more specifically Fareham, continues to experience significant pressure on school places. Numbers are expected to grow further due to new housing.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The majority of secondary pupils will be able to attend Crofton School but there would be a real need for a new primary school to provide the necessary capacity. One of the biggest challenges locally is the exponential rise in children requiring SEND. HTC reports that there has been a 340% increase in the number of children with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) since 2015. Approximately 40% of those pupils with an EHCP will require a specialist school place. 9.32 I accept that we need more homes but these cannot be without the essential new services that will ensure that everyone, newcomers and those already here are looked after for stop local residents will have to live with the overstretched services and the adverse impact on their lives. Cllr Needham 9.33 The developer earlier in the year negotiated a discount on the CIL payments after trying to not pay any. The developer is not prepared to wait for the new government to decide how they are going to fix the housing crisis. The officers have worked very hard to agree all the outstanding points for S106 but, as yet, they are not finalised. The appeal should be kept on the desk until FBC is able to look at the wider picture of trying to meet its housing needs.

The proposal would increase sewage into the Solent and flood people’s homes. 9.37 The NHS is broken in Stubbington and the surrounding area. Stubbington needs a new medical centre and more GP’s. There is just a health centre proposed for potentially 4000 people. Oakcroft is still in the process of being built and primary care is broken. The health service should be fixed before we develop, not the other way round. 9.38 As a Council if we are forced to develop it at all, then we should choose what is being built in our precious Strategic Gap. New council houses retained by the local council as announced in the budget would be more sensible. 9.39 The junction with more traffic lights is too near the By-pass junction. 2,000 more cars are going to cause more queues and traffic pollution, especially at the Newgate Lane end of Longfield Avenue, which has only just passed an acceptable level of pollution. Putting a cycle path along the edge of St Micheals grove is not an option. The roads will not be able to cope. Hampshire Highways are not fit for purpose.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The By-pass is fully used, by the Gosport population that have to exit by all of Fareham Roads. This estate will cause another bottle neck for them, which defeats the whole object of the By-Pass. 2,000 extra cars under the viaduct to get to the M27 will bring the whole area to a standstill. 9.40 Is a new primary school needed and can our senior school cope? Cllr Hayres 9.41 The proposed housing development on land south of Longfield Avenue in Stubbington should not go ahead due to its impact on the local environment, infrastructure, and community well-being. This area is one of the few remaining green spaces, providing a habitat for local wildlife and offering residents a place for recreation and tranquillity. Development would increase traffic in the area, counteracting the recent improvements in air quality and reduced congestion following the opening of the bypass. 9.42 Local infrastructure, including roads, schools, and healthcare services, will struggle to accommodate the additional population, potentially leading to overcrowding and a decline in service quality. Additionally, the loss of this open space could diminish Stubbington’s charm, character and sense of community, which residents value.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Preserving this area is crucial for maintaining both environmental health and the quality of life in Stubbington. 9.43 Since the bypass opened, Stubbington has experienced a decrease in traffic, allowing residents to enjoy a quieter, cleaner environment; with a reduction in traffic resulting in better mental health, less stress and anxiety. If allowed, this development would add significant traffic resulting in a waste of taxpayers £42 million spent on the Bypass. 9.44 Vehicles are often parked on both sides of Longfield Avenue east. With more traffic using the road, congestion will worsen creating a bottleneck at the proposed junction accessing the site which will be unsafe. Vehicles travelling east are likely to create bottlenecks on Newgate Lane, which was recently redesigned https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 46

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 to ease traffic flow. This increase in congestion would also impact the Market Quay roundabout under the bridge, causing further delays. 9.45 Vehicles travelling west to join the A27 will likely use Rowan Way, which is already used as a ‘rat run’. Near the junction with Ranvilles Lane, Rowan Way has a sharp, narrow bend that poses safety risks. Alternatively, drivers may opt for the top of Peak Lane, where the junction with The Avenue is controlled by traffic lights that are already congested during peak times. The stretch of Peak Lane from the bypass to the Longfield Avenue roundabout currently has a 50 mph speed limit. The addition of a new junction on this road would raise significant safety concerns for vehicles merging into fast-moving traffic. 9.46 This development fails to meet Policy TIN2 on Highway Safety and Road Network from the Local Plan, which states that development will only be permitted if it poses no unacceptable impact on highway safety and does not create a severe cumulative impact on the roads. HCC is already facing budget challenges and cannot afford the necessary highway improvements to support this development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Additionally, the Section 106 and CIL payments fall short of covering the upgrades needed to ensure road safety. 9.47 Crofton School is already nearing maximum capacity. Any agreed contributions may become insufficient by the time expansion projects begin due to inflationary pressures. Significant developer contributions are required to support SEND and EHCP provisions, which are not accounted for in the proposed primary school. The cost per pupil for special school placements is approximately four times the construction cost of mainstream education. The developer has not adequately addressed safe walking and cycling routes for schoolchildren, particularly given the distance to Crofton School. Many PROW cross farmland, which poses safety concerns for children walking or cycling alone, especially in low-light conditions. The £24,000 school cycle upgrades are insufficient given that many children cycle to Crofton School. 9.48 The NHS is already overwhelmed in Stubbington and surrounding areas, with an urgent need for a new medical centre and additional GPs.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM With new developments like Oakcroft Chase -200 and another 99 homes on the other side of Newgate Lane, there is no clear plan for how these new residents will access medical care. How will the needs of up to 4,000 new residents be met? This area does not need just a health centre, it needs a fully equipped medical centre with GPs. Primary care and QA hospital services are already at a breaking point. Only once healthcare is stabilised should further development be considered. 9.49 The developer plans to build an 80-bedroom care home, which is unnecessary given that a 68- bedroom facility is already planned for in Stubbington Lane. What is truly needed is affordable or social housing and rental units—homes that meet the community’s actual housing needs, not a care home repurposed to fulfil quotas. 9.50 The existing infrastructure is already struggling to manage sewage effectively. The proposed development would overload the pipes without substantial capacity upgrades. Rainwater and surface water would further strain an already inadequate system. All sewage from these developments, including from Welborne where 6000 homes are planned, is to be directed to Peel Common https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 47

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 Waterworks. Our coastline is already impacted by sewage discharge—do we want more construction to increase the risk of sewage overflows into the Solent and residents’ homes? Expanded capacity must be ensured before any further large developments are approved. We must carefully consider the cumulative impact of these projects. In conclusion, this development should not proceed due to insufficient infrastructure. Housing density should prioritise affordable units, ideally located in the town centre, which is where Fareham’s true needs lie, not in a massive development that would heavily encroach upon a strategic gap. Ann Richards 9.51 I am a retired community nurse and worked for the Portsmouth Healthcare Trust in the Fareham and Gosport areas. 9.52 Healthcare staffing levels for Fareham and Gosport have reduced over time. This proposed development will without doubt exert further pressures on multiple services that are already stretched to capacity. Schools, GP surgeries, pharmacies, hospitals, district nursing and social care services struggle daily to deal with the constant pressures. 9.53 The increasing number of housing developments is not without consequences.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Roads and motorways have become even more congested and travelling in any direction is a nightmare. Noise and environmental pollution have an impact on the local community, adding unremitting stress. 9.54 People have chosen to live and invest in areas such as Stubbington because they are less exposed to the consequences of over-development and the impact it can have on their health. The size of this development means that there will be constant and long term road disruption caused by heavy plant coming and going from the site on roads that were not built to take such treatment. This will add to the stress of local residents living close to the site, and those passing through the area and will also cause traffic disruption to minor roads as people try to avoid the area. 9.55 Many developments, like the one opposite B&Q resemble military barracks and add nothing to the area, but house people like battery hens crammed into small boxes.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Stress exerted by sociological factors impacts on the person's psychology, which in turn, impacts negatively on the person's biology, resulting in a decline in health as the immune system becomes exhausted, leading to illness and disease, which then places further demands on the health care system. Mr Robert Marshall on behalf of the Fareham Society 9.56 The Fareham Society recognises that as the site is allocated for housing in the FLP no objection can be raised in principle to housing on the appeal site. However, it wishes its detailed concerns to be taken into account. Strategic Gap 9.57 Given the important role the Strategic Gap in this area plays on the separation of settlements it is important that this is recognised in its future development. The Building Height Parameters Plan shows an area west of the proposed Sports Hub https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 48

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 and on the site’s southern boundary with the Strategic Gap as having houses 2.5 stories high. Dwellings of this height would potentially be an unacceptable intrusion upon the Gap. 9.58 The open space for the school and the Sports Hub in the southern part of the site would reduce the development’s impact on the Strategic Gap. However, it is important to ensure that these open areas should not have the tall and intrusive fencing and lighting can sometimes be the case. This would be a matter that would benefit from being subject to reference in the Masterplan. 9.59 The gap between the proposed houses and the southern boundary of the applications site, which remains part of the Strategic Gap, but may of necessity contain some hoggin paths and SuDS ponds etc. However, any such features in this area would have to be limited and designed in such a way as to retain an open undeveloped appearance. Vehicle accesses onto Peak Lane and Longfield Avenue 9.60 We consider that the free flow of traffic along Peak Lane and Longfield Avenue is best served by roundabout junctions as set out in the Local Plan Masterplan rather than the junctions now proposed.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The roundabout junctions as initially proposed would also ease egress from the site. Provision of services and financial contributions 9.61 One of the major objections the Fareham Society sees being raised on residential housing developments is the inadequate highway infrastructure, education provision and health provision to service them. It is therefore of concern that on this major housing Scheme the necessity for contributions to these facilities/service, or means of contributing towards them, is being contested. Off-site highway infrastructure 9.62 The proposed development will place a strain on many parts of the existing highway network. It is essential that financial contributions are made towards this and the Fareham Society supports the view that this should be by S106 Agreements rather than CIL. The same view is taken on walking and cycling infrastructure. Public Rights of Way and Sports Hub 9.63 The Society supports the Officer’s view on the need for funding by S106 Agreement. The need for these works/facilities arises from the proposed development.

The Fareham Society has from the outset argued that on-site provision should be made to achieve this. The ICB says this cannot be achieved. This must be explored further especially as it appears that the only alternative, extending the two existing off-site practices, may be unachievable. Pressure must be applied on the NHS and ICB as otherwise the extraordinary position would arise where it would be unacceptable to grant permission on a site allocated for housing in the Local Plan. Other concerns 9.66 A not insignificant parcel of land within the allocation does not come within the application site and yet there has been no commensurate fall in the number of houses now proposed. The Fareham Society is concerned that this may lead to an inappropriate increase density of development or scale of housing on the site southern boundary. The Society is concerned by the provision of 2.5 Storey houses as opposed to two Storey to the West of the sports hub and on the site sudden boundary with the strategic gap.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Assurances have required that the proposed landscaping with Longfield Ave will incorporate the full width of the existing planting. Mr Morrill 9.67 This development will destroy Stubbington as a village and the whole surrounding area turning it into one great characterless suburb. When many more thousands of people are living in the area due to this development it will destroy what real nature remains and add to Global Warming making everybody's lives intolerable. 10 Written Representations Rt Honourable Dame Caroline Dinenage 10.1 As Member of Parliament for Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Hill Head, I remain opposed to the development of land south of Longfield Avenue. This proposal threatens the Strategic Gapbetween Fareham and Stubbington and I believe it is vital that we protect this land as a stretch of countryside that keeps communities distinct and prevents urban sprawl, whilst providing valuable green space to the local community. While acknowledging the need for new homes, they should first and foremost be built on the ample brownfield sites in our area.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 10.2 The proposal would create excessive pressure on our already overburdened roads, because this location is a critical juncture between Fareham and Gosport. The difficulty of getting in and out of the Gosport peninsula is infamous and adding so many more cars to the local roads would cause unnecessary anxiety for residents, particularly my constituents in Stubbington. 10.3 Back in July 2017, this part of Fareham Borough was flagged as one of 23 nationally with dangerously high air pollution levels. Further development in this location could add to the excessive pollution in the area, adversely affecting the health and wellbeing of local residents. The sites are poorly served by public https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 50

Without the prospect of more staff, the benefit that the construction of these facilities will bring is voided and leaves residential space without the required infrastructure to be viable for families. Furthermore, already-stressed services in Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Hill Head would be placed under increased pressure. Natural England 10.5 The application could have potential significant effects on the Solent and Southampton Water SPA, Portsmouth Harbour SPA, Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation and New Forest SAC, SPA and Ramsar. Natural England requires further information in order to determine the significance of these impacts and the scope for mitigation.

The outline management aims are described within the Habitat and Open Space Creation document (Urban Wilderness & FPCR). 10.8 Financial arrangements need to be in place that will guarantee the provision of sufficient funds to ensure the full delivery of the agreed management plans for the 80 year period. 10.9 Although a bespoke Green Infrastructure Strategy may address alone impacts, Natural England’s view that residents of the proposed development would still visit coastal SPA sites which should be considered as part of the in-combination assessment within the HRA.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM In order to account for in-combination effects with other developments, Natural England seeks full contributions towards the agreed Solent Recreation Mitigation Partnership, which Natural England considers to be ecologically sound. This is in line with the precautionary approach. Recreational impacts on the New Forest SAC, SPA and Ramsar 10.10 This application is situated within 13.8km zone, and therefore Natural England advise your HRA includes this potential impact pathway for consideration, alone and in combination with other plans/projects, proceeding to appropriate assessment stage where likely significant effects cannot be ruled out. 10.11 The onsite Green Infrastructure provided as part of this development would likely divert some visits which would otherwise have been made to designated sites, including those of the New Forest. However, given the unique draw of the New https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 51

Therefore, we advise that contributions to the New Forest Park authority should be made in line with Fareham's interim strategy to address these impacts. SPA Supporting Habitat Solent Wader and Brent Goose Sites 10.12 The development site will affect several areas that form part of the Solent Wader and Brent Goose Strategy (SWBGS) network of supporting habitat for the Solent SPA, including the low use sites F17G, F17M, and F76. 10.13 The mitigation for loss of supporting habitat has been updated to include a 10 ha bird reserve at land west of Peak Lane, which will be excluded from public access by barriers such as fencing, wet ditches, open water, and hedgerows. 10.14 The application site also lies adjacent to additional SWBGS sites including Low Use sites F17J (supporting snipe), F17B (golden plover) and F17N (golden plover and green sandpiper). It is advised that percussive piling or works with heavy machinery (i.e. plant resulting in a noise level in excess of 69dbAmax measured at the sensitive receptor) should be avoided during the bird overwintering period (i.e. October to March inclusive).

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Air Quality 10.15 Potential impacts from aerial pollutants, have been assessed. It has been confirmed the development will not exceed the 1,000 AADT threshold required for further assessment and therefore air quality impacts have been screened out. It should also be confirmed air quality impacts have been considered in combination with other schemes. Titchfield Haven SSSI and National Nature Reserve 10.16 Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve is currently a well-managed nature reserve where visitors must pay an entry fee. However, despite this it is considered there will be an increase in visitors to the site, with potential adverse impacts on the sensitive ecological features that are conserved there, over the lifetime of the development. Much of the reserve forms part of the Solent and Southampton Water SPA and therefore that this aspect will require due consideration within the Appropriate Assessment.

They further agree that the appeal should be allowed subject to the agreed conditions and appropriate planning obligations. They however disagree as to whether all of the planning obligations sought would meet the CIL Regulation 122(2) tests and whether any of the infrastructure sought should be funded by CIL.[8.1] Main Consideration 11.2 I consider the main consideration is whether the planning obligations sought would comply with the tests at CIL Regulation 122(2) and the Framework paragraph 58 of the Framework. 11.3 The CIL Regulations and paragraph 58 of the Framework set a number of tests for planning obligations: they must be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, be directly related to the development, and be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The submitted UU makes provision for alternative scenarios and the appellant requests that the ‘blue pencil’ be used where the obligations do not satisfy the CIL Regulation tests. 11.4 I start by assessing the individual planning obligations and in particular whether the infrastructure sought is necessary to make the development acceptable. Affordable Housing and Extra Care 11.5 Schedule One of the UU provides for the delivery of affordable housing and the extra care scheme. This matter is agreed between the parties and I am satisfied that it would secure a policy-compliant scheme of affordable housing and the extra care facility. This obligation would therefore comply with the tests at paragraph 58 of the Framework. Open Space, Play Areas, The Sports Hub and the Bird Reserve 11.6 Schedule Two makes provision for the above matters in accordance with Policy HA55 g). The obligations in respect of the Bird Reserve, open space, play areas and SuDS, including future maintenance are agreed by the parties.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The Bird Reserve includes the provision of a dedicated 10ha Bird Reserve area of land west of Peak Lane and is necessary to mitigate the effect of the development on Solent Wader and Brent Goose supporting habitat in accordance with Policy HA55 g) and Policy NE5. The open space and play areas are necessary to make adequate provision for future residents in accordance with Policy HA55 g). Together with the maintenance of the SuDS, these matters are necessary to make the development acceptable and the proposals provide significant mitigation for the loss of the supporting habitat. Both parties agree that the contributions and obligations in relation to these matters would comply with Regulation 122(2) and on the basis of the submitted evidence I agree with this view.

FBC seek 4.3 ha of serviced land to be transferred to the Council, of which 3.45 ha would be sports pitches based on SPD requirements for the site. In addition, it seeks £559,526 towards providing the pitches, £810,000 towards changing rooms and a community area, as well as £200,000 towards car parking. FBC also state that the sports pitches should not be laid out as the final design and nature of the sports hub needs to be left to the Council to make an executive decision as to what they want to achieve on this site through CIL and/or any other available forms of funding. [8.32,7.11] 11.8 FBC would maintain the pitches, changing rooms and car park using a financial contribution of £1,587,747. FBC acknowledges that 0.72 hectares of additional land is required to fulfil the HA55 Appendix D masterplan, rather than to meet the needs of the development. The value attributable to this additional land has been subtracted from the overall contribution sought, resulting in a discount of £180,000.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.9 The Appellant seeks the omission of the £1.5m “provision” element sought by the Council in the planning obligation in order to reflect what is anticipated and achievable via CIL, to meet the reasonable requirement of CIL Regulation 122(2) and the expectations of the parties as expressed in discussions with FBC.[7.16] 11.10 Policy HA55 j) requires a 4 hectare sports pitch hub to include changing rooms, community space and essential parking. Appendix D sets out the supporting master planning principles. It includes a requirement for a sports hub area of 4.3 hectares. 11.11 Policy NE10 states that residential development will be required to provide open space and play space to meet the needs of new residents, having regard to any relevant standards, or provide an offsite contribution towards improving the quantity or quality of existing open spaces. 11.12 The Planning Obligations SPD (CD 9.1) seeks 1.2 hectares per 1000 population for outdoor sport provision. The SPD states that on sites of 600 or more dwellings the provision of on-site sports facilities including playing pitches will be required.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Serviced land for appropriate ancillary facilities, including changing rooms should be safeguarded to serve these facilities along with a financial contribution paid to the Council for their provision or be provided directly by the developer. 11.13 On this basis the Scheme would be expected to provide 3.45 ha of sports pitches and make provision for their maintenance to meet the needs of the development. The appellant does not dispute the level of contribution towards the sports pitches and their maintenance, but questions whether it should be funded by a planning obligation rather than funded via CIL. [7.13] 11.14 Having regard to the Regulation 122(2) tests the provision of outdoor sports facilities is necessary to meet the needs of the development, comply with Policy NE10 and to make the development acceptable in planning terms and is directly related to the development. 33 33 CD 7.5 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 56

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.15 The Sports Hub is an element of strategic or borough wide infrastructure. This was confirmed by a SoCG between the appellant and FBC at the time of the Local Plan Examination. It is evident that it was intended to meet the existing need for new sports facilities identified by the Borough Council (Playing Pitch Strategy) as well as the sports requirements of the proposed development. It was also agreed that it would be funded jointly and proportionately by the parties.34 The Sports Hub and facilities are also included in the IDP. In respect of the appeal site the sports infrastructure required is to be jointly delivered by FBC and the developer. The contributions are identified as land contributions. Table 7 of the IDP identifies borough wide infrastructure. At the appeal site it identifies a need for a rugby pitch, cricket pitch, tennis court and netball court. It is indicated that these would be funded by a combination of S106 contributions and CIL. 11.16 In response to questions at the time of the CIL Examination, evidence submitted by FBC indicated that with the exception of Ferneham Hall and the Longfield Sports Hub all leisure facilities would be funded by s106 contributions.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM FBC identified a shortfall of £16,495,600 for the delivery of Ferneham Hall and the Longfield Sports Hub, both of which were identified for potential funding by CIL. This shortfall contributed to the overall funding gap of £42,557,600 that was used to justify the CIL charging schedule at the Examination. 35 11.17 The CIL Examiner recommended that allocation HA55 should be excluded from the CIL Levy due to uncertainties regarding the s106 contributions, including the impact that this may have on the delivery of affordable housing on the allocated site. In response to this FBC commissioned Three Dragons to expressly consider CIL viability at HA55. Appendix A of the Review identified the S106 costs in relation to the appeal site. This identifies that the sports pitch requirement would be land only. [7.2] 11.18 Providing 3.45 ha of sports pitches would be consistent with Policy NE10 and the Planning Obligations SPD. The appellant suggests that they would be paying twice for the provision of the pitches through CIL contributions. It is clear from the IDP, The Three Dragons Report and correspondence from FBC as recently as June 202436, that the expectation was for land and maintenance costs only.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The land transfer and maintenance costs are not disputed by the appellant. [7.12,7.15] 11.19 The Council’s request for additional land to accommodate changing rooms including a community facility/club house, as well as car parking, would exceed the requirement of Policy NE10 and the SPD which only requires the provision of 1.2 ha land per 1,000 people, rather than the additional land sought by FBC. Whilst there may be a need for such facilities as part of the Sports Hub, I consider that the car parking, changing rooms and club house facilities are more closely aligned with the overall vision of the Sports Hub rather than the development itself. It would be surprising if the use of these facilities were to primarily meet the needs for future residents, given the intention to provide a borough-wide sport 34 CD 7.5 35 CD 8.3 36 Mr Owen POE paragraph 5.41 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 57

I find that the contribution towards the changing rooms and car parking are not necessary to make the development acceptable. 11.20 I have given careful consideration as to whether the contribution towards the provision of the sports pitches would be CIL compliant. Whilst the provision of sports pitches at this location is necessary to meet the needs of future residents in accordance with Policy NE10 and the SPD, given the explicit position within the IDP and the Three Dragons Viability Report it would seem that the CIL levy for this site was assessed on the basis of a land only contribution. This position is reinforced by correspondence from the Council as recently as June 2024. Moreover, since FBC consider that the final design and nature of the sports hub is a matter for it to decide, this leaves uncertainty as to what would be delivered and the timing of the delivery. I am also conscious that since this is a UU, the obligations within it do not bind the Council. I therefore conclude that the payment of the pitch provision would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM [7.12,7.15] 11.21 I conclude that the land transfer and the maintenance contribution towards the maintenance of pitches are directly related to the development, necessary to make the development acceptable and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. However the contributions towards the provision of the pitches, car park and changing facilities would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2). Health Care 11.22 The ICB seeks a health care contribution of £601 per dwelling to be paid in instalments related to the phased occupation of the Scheme. This figure is based on the need to provide 201.6 m2 of floorspace.37 11.23 The appellant was prepared to provide a facility within the appeal site as required by Policy HA55, but the ICB’s preference is for the expansion and/or relocation of existing premises.[7.31,7.33] 11.24 The appellant’s position is that healthcare is funded by central government and funding follows the population. The NHS has delegated the commissioning of primary care services to the ICB.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The ICB stated that it receives no additional capital funding to support increasing the physical capacity of GP practices to accommodate the additional demands generated by new housing development and it has a duty to provide primary care services to all residents in their area. [7.28] 11.25 The appellant stated that many GP practices are partner owned with a mortgage with the rateable value funding stream paying off the debt. The appellant contends that this means that expanding a GP practice for any reason is fully funded by the NHS, and therefore any funds derived from a developer are double funding.[7.29] 11.26 Evidence from the ICB explains that this is not the case and that GP practices are required to provide premises suitable for the delivery of primary care services. 37 Mr Dicken’s POE Appendix A https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 58

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 These costs are then re-imbursed through rents or notional rents for the property. The ICB is a public body, acting in the public interest and there is no evidence to suggest that it would double fund the expansion of GP practices. 11.27 The appeal site comes within the catchment area of the Gudgeheath Lane Surgery but is also close to Fareham Health Centre and Stubbington Medical Practice. Evidence from ICB indicates that these practices are operating over capacity.38 Anecdotal evidence of unacceptable waiting times for GP appointments was presented to the Inquiry by interested parties, including the Rt Honourable Suella Braverman. Whilst this is not supported by any data, given that the health service, including GP services, are under pressure across the country, and in the light of the number of patients on GP lists, I have no reason to doubt this evidence. [9.27,9.28,9,29,9,36,9.41,9.51,9.64] 11.28 The appellant suggested that since GP rolls are not regularly updated are likely to over-estimate the number of patients registered at individual practices.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Even if this is the case, given the extent to which patient numbers exceed the capacity I do not consider that it would make a material difference in this case. 11.29 Whilst all of these practices are still accepting new patients, the ICB advised that practice lists are only closed in extreme circumstances. For this reason, I do not consider the fact these practices are still accepting new patients to be an indication that they are unable to accommodate patients from the development without placing an unacceptable strain on existing services. 11.30 The ICB seek a contribution from 100% of the proposed dwellings. The appellant‘s position is that even if a contribution is found to be necessary this would over-estimate the impact of the Scheme on GP services. Since 40% of the dwellings would be affordable housing, the appellant contends that these residents would be drawn from the local area and would be likely to remain with their existing GP practice. Whilst this may be the case with some affordable housing residents, I note that the local connection definition within the Affordable Housing refers to the Fareham and Waterlooville Electoral division. This is a much wider area than suggested by the appellant.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM I therefore consider that a reduction in the number of eligible dwellings to take account of the proportion of affordable housing is not justified in this case. It was also suggested by the appellant that as a new housing area, it would be likely to be occupied by young families who would make less demand on GP services by comparison with other age groups. There is no evidence to support this assertion, and families with young babies and children may well use GP services, including for vaccinations and health checks. In addition, the Scheme includes extra care units, and these older residents may make more intensive use of GP services. [7.34,7.35] 11.31 S106 contributions should not be used to remedy existing deficiencies. In this instance the ICB has provided details as to how it calculated the contribution. The ICB request is for funding to deliver 201.6m2 of additional floorspace. This figure is based on the projected number of residents within the development. I therefore 38 Gudgeheath lane capacity 4,985 with 9,449 patients; Fareham Health Centre capacity 10,706 with 14,882; Stubbington Medical Practice capacity 7,576 with 12,640 patients https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 59

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 find that the purpose of the contribution is to mitigate the impact of the Scheme on GP practices and not to remedy the existing shortfall. [7.32] 11.32 The contributions would be used to increase capacity to a surgery whose catchment area includes the development. The ICB’s preferred option is the expansion of the Fareham Medical Centre, potentially through the reconfiguration of the upper floor. The total cost of such work would be between £1.3 million and £1.7 million. The £720,000 sought from the appellant would contribute to this cost and accommodate the 2,880 residents from the Scheme. 11.33 Both parties submitted appeal decisions in support of their respective positions. In some decisions the inspector rejected the use of a formula since it had not been demonstrated how the development would significantly impact on the identified local practices. In the case before me the three nearest practices to the appeal site are heavily oversubscribed, with each practice accommodating more than 4,000 patients over their capacity. The proposed development is for up to 1,200 additional dwellings, which is substantially greater than the submitted decisions.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Having regard to the extent to which the existing practices are oversubscribed and the scale of the appeal proposal, I do not consider it to be comparable to these other appeals. 11.34 I conclude that the contribution sought by ICB would be directly related to the development, necessary to make the development acceptable, and fairly and reasonably related to the development proposed. I therefore find this obligation to be CIL compliant. Local Centre Community Facility and Nursery 11.35 Schedule Four provides for the delivery of the community facility and nursery within the local centre in accordance with Policy HA55 j) this matter is agreed between the parties. It is necessary to ensure that community facilities, including nursery provision are available for future residents and I am satisfied that it is necessary to make the development acceptable and would comply with the relevant tests. [5.18,5.27] Solent SPA and New Forest SPA 11.36 Schedule Five makes provision for a financial contribution towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy and the New Forest Recreation Mitigation Strategy. These contributions are sought by Natural England.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Neither FBC nor the appellant consider that the Scheme needs to provide any off-site mitigation to avoid an adverse effect on the integrity of these protected sites. Both FBC and HCC have concluded that, with the provision of the mitigation measures outlined within the various technical submissions the appeal proposals are acceptable, and that the development would not result in any significant adverse effects to biodiversity or statutory designated sites. [5.6] 11.37 Local Plan Policy NE3 states that in the absence of a financial contribution towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy, proposals will need to avoid or mitigate any ‘in combination’ negative effects from recreation through a developer-provided package of measures for the lifetime of the development.

This would be located to the south and west of the Site, between the proposed new development and Tanners Lane to the Site’s southern boundary, and between Peak Lane and Ranvilles Lane to the west. It would include new areas of publicly accessible greenspace, including Oxley’s Meadow, Newlands Meadow and the Linear Park.[5.4] 11.39 Interconnected open spaces will be accessible within 200m of all new residents, thereby ensuring that residents have access to space for informal recreation. The Site will provide approximately 45ha of green infrastructure across 78ha of the total area. This is consistent with the requirements of the Local Plan Policy HA55 which requires 22.84ha to the west of Peak Lane to be development-free. 11.40 The Site is situated within the Zone of Influence of several European Designated sites including the Solent SPA and the New Forest SPA. Solent SPA 11.41 The Site at its nearest point is only 660m from the Solent & Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM It therefore has the potential to result in a likely significant effect, alone or in-combination with other projects and plans. 11.42 Natural England is satisfied that provided the Bird Reserve and associated mitigation measures are secured, the potential effects on the integrity of the Solent SPA arising from the loss of supporting habitat can be avoided. Natural England are also satisfied that the impacts of the Scheme on air quality can be screened out, subject to the assessment of in combination effects. Technical assessments completed by the Appellant and the Council for the FLP, concluded potential effects to air quality and nutrient neutrality would not affect the integrity of the conservation objectives of the designated sites. I therefore conclude that the effect on air quality can be screened out.[5.10,10.17] 11.43 Natural England is satisfied that the proposals would mitigate the "alone" effects arising from the increased resident population but consider that the Appeal Scheme should pay the full financial contribution to the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy to mitigate what they perceive to be residual effects that arise "in combination" with other development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM [10.9] 11.44 The Green Infrastructure across the site has been designed following the criteria for Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) designed for the Thames Basin Heath SPA.39 It includes a circular walk from Peak Lane to the east towards Tanners Lane, approximately a 2.5km loop with additional links to a circular route (1.7km) around the bird reserve to the west. The Scheme will also have areas for off-lead dog activity, with places to observe the bird reserve that will act as a focal point within a rural setting away from any residential structures.[7.43] 39 SANGs are designed to offer recreational opportunities and reduce visitor pressure on sensitive habitats such as SPAs. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 61

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.45 The extent and the quality of the Green Infrastructure significantly exceeds what a development of this size would be expected to provide. It would accommodate recreational activity for residents, with specific measures for dog walkers implemented. The size of the Scheme allows for any effects on designated sites and supporting habitats to be mitigated for within the red line boundary. This approach was endorsed by the Local Plan Inspector. She concluded in respect of Policy HA55 that: “Publicly accessible and managed green infrastructure on the site will act as mitigation to counteract the likely significant effects of recreational disturbance on the New Forest and Solent Special Protection Areas in line with Policy NE3.”40 11.46 Moreover, at the time of the Examination in Public, the SoCG between Natural England and the Council in relation to Policy HA55 indicated that a bespoke Green Infrastructure strategy for the development that suitably addresses both SPA supporting habitat and recreational disturbance could be achieved within the red line boundary.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.47 I conclude that due to the size and quality of the Green Infrastructure proposed, the planning obligation in relation to the Solent SPA is not necessary to make the development acceptable. As such it would fail to comply with the tests at Regulation 122(2). New Forest SPA 11.48 As the crow flies, the New Forest is approximately 11km west of the appeal site and therefore comes within the 13.8 km Zone of Influence for the New Forest SPA. Notwithstanding this, due to the need to circumnavigate Southampton Water, visiting the New Forest would require a round trip of about 57km avoiding the M27, and would take approximately 40mins each way. If using the M27 it would involve a round trip of about 70km, and take about 33 mins each way. The distance is calculated to the village of Ashurst car park off Lyndhurst Road, which is the nearest edge of the New Forest with car parking.41 11.49 The Green Infrastructure provides approximately 16.56ha per 1000 population. When a further 10ha area, proposed for bird reserve for wading birds with no access to the public, is deducted from land available for recreation, the total available area is approximately 35.72ha or 12.94ha per 1000 population.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM This compares to 8ha per 1000 population required under the SANG guidance. Consequently the Site is over providing by 4.94ha per 1000 population (based on 2.4 per dwelling and 1200 dwellings). 11.50 The majority of the Green Infrastructure to the east of Peak Lane will consist of more formal recreational Green Infrastructure with areas of play and sports pitches, that are broken up with pockets of ecological favourable habitats. There will be a c2.5km circular walk around the Site, with various opportunities to provide exercise for dogs off lead which is a fundamental requirement to ensure that residents use the Site rather than drive to the SPA. There will also be a number of focal features included open waterbodies with viewing areas and paths 40 CD7.3 paragraph 144 41 Mr Goodman POE paragraphs 9.30 and 9.31 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 62

[5.6] 11.52 I therefore conclude that the planning obligation in relation to the New Forest SPA is not necessary to make the development acceptable and for this reason would not satisfy the CIL Regulation 122(2) tests. 11.53 Overall, I conclude that the proposal would adequately mitigate any potential recreational disturbance to the Solent or New Forest SPA in accordance with FLP Policy NE3. Consequently the planning obligations at Schedule Five of the UU would not satisfy Regulation 122(2). Education 11.54 Site specific infrastructure required by Policy HA55 includes a 2 FE primary school.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Since this is an outline application and the precise number and mix of dwellings is unknown there is some uncertainty regarding the child yield from the Scheme, and hence the number of primary school places required. 11.55 The parties agree that the yield should be based on a figure of 0.3 primary age children per new dwelling, other than one-bedroom dwellings and the extra care accommodation. Therefore, using the Strategic Housing Market Assessment mix for market housing, Affordable Housing and one-bedroom dwellings, the Scheme would generate a need for between 267 and 292 primary school places. The upper figure assumes that the extra care accommodation will not be delivered. On this basis the LEA seeks a 1.5 FE school.42 11.56 The appellant’s position is that a 1.5FE school would exceed what is required by the Scheme. It proposes a 1FE school and to pay proportionate contributions until it can be established whether there is an unmet need from this and other development such to trigger another 0.5FE.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM However, sufficient land for a 1.5FE school would be transferred to the LEA, with an option for it to acquire additional land for a 2FE school, should this be necessary in the future.[5.30,5.31,7.39,7.38] 11.57 Having regard to the CIL tests, the provision of the primary school and the primary school land is necessary to make the development acceptable. Requiring the appellant to fund the entirety of a 1.5FE primary school, given that there would be about 47 surplus places should the extra care scheme come forward, cannot be considered to be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. Moreover, falling school rolls and uncertainty regarding falling birth rates could mean that the surplus is even greater.[7.39] 11.58 Paragraph 62 of National Guidance on Securing Developer Contributions For Education provides that as far as possible (and often in relation to primary 42 Mr Jupp POE paragraph 7.76 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 63

It also provides that where an on-site school is required, it should be large enough to meet the need generated by the development, based on standard class sizes and forms of entry. [8.24] 11.59 Although there is uncertainty regarding the child yield from the development it is essential that sufficient school places are provided at the time they are needed. In this case, it is accepted by both parties that the school site would not be available until after the 500th eligible dwelling is occupied. 11.60 The planning obligation would provide sufficient land for a 1.5FE school, fund the construction of a 1FE school through the Initial Primary Education Contribution, and an additional contribution based on the number of eligible dwellings. 11.61 The appellant’s evidence indicates that in January 2024 there were 281 spare places in the 4 primary schools closest to the appeal site. 43 This is not disputed by the LEA.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Therefore at the present time given the number of surplus primary school places within the surrounding area, I am not persuaded that a 1.5FE school is necessary to meet the educational requirements of the development. Should the extra care accommodation be delivered there is a potential for 47 surplus spaces (almost 45% of the additional 0.5FE sought) assuming that all children from the Scheme go to the school on the appeal site. A surplus of this scale could be considered to be detrimental to the existing education landscape by drawing pupils from less popular, alternative, well established schools. Since school funding is predicated on the number of pupils that are on a school’s roll, so it is in the best interest of schools to maximise intake within their capacity.[7.38] 11.62 HCC’s Guidance on Planning Obligations and Developer Infrastructure Contributions (CD 9.23) states that developer contributions are sought based on a formulaic approach which models the potential pupil yield arising from a proposed development, and the need to provide additional school places (either through the provision of new schools or extensions to existing schools).

Requiring the appellant to fund a larger school than is necessary to meet the needs of the development, particularly given the number of surplus spaces within the locality of the site would not be consistent with this approach. 11.63 It would also mean that the appellant would be mitigating the educational demand arising from other developments that may take up the additional capacity, including the Seale / Williams site on the remainder of this allocation. For this reason, the contribution sought by HCC would not be CIL Regulation 122 compliant as it would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. Should the child yield of the development exceed the capacity of a 1FE school there is a mechanism in place to make a financial contribution towards additional educational provision. I therefore conclude that Primary Education B would not meet the Regulation 122(2) tests. [7.40] 43 Mr Hunter POE paragraph 4.7 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 64

This has been calculated at £720,637.58. Over 5% of pupils currently have an EHCP. Where possible these pupils are supported within mainstream settings however 40% of these pupils require a specialist place, either within a Resourced Provision Unit or a Special School. 11.65 Special school provision across the County is already at capacity. The cost per pupil for providing a special school place is estimated at approximately four times the build cost of mainstream provision. Costs for an additional classroom, to cater for up to 8 SEND pupils, will be based upon the primary age costs, i.e. £621,870 and will be located at the most appropriate local school, potentially outside of the development site boundary. 11.66 I find this contribution to be necessary to make the development acceptable, directly related to the development; and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. Overall, with the exception of the Primary Education B contribution, I find that the planning obligations within Schedule Six of the UU would be CIL compliant.

Footpaths 48 and 51 11.68 Footpaths 48 and 51 run alongside the Titchfield Canal Towpath, on its western side. They provide a linear route from Bridge Street to the coast; a distance of approximately 3.5km. Titchfield Canal is part of Titchfield Haven, a National Nature Reserve, managed by the County Council. Visitors to Titchfield Haven pay an entrance fee. It is also part of Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar site and SPA. HCC is seeking £555,666 towards resurfacing and widening these footpaths. 11.69 Both the FBC and the appellant are of the view that the improvements sought by HCC would encourage residents to visit Titchfield Haven which would be at odds with the Council’s desire to limit recreational disturbance to this area. The provision of Green Infrastructure within the Scheme aims to limit such disturbance by providing alternative recreation space. [5.36] 11.70 HCC refers to the Posbrook Lane appeal decision where the Inspector found that contributions to the PROW met the tests within CIL.

Therefore these obligations would not be CIL compliant. Footpath 67 11.73 The eastern part of Footpath 67 comes within the appeal site. The remainder lies to the west of Peak Lane and crosses an agricultural field. HCC submits that the western part would be a key link in the area for walking, riding and cycling as well as providing a link for circular routes. It is seeking the footpath to be upgraded to a bridleway and the replacement and widening of the existing bridge. The financial contribution sought is £73,800 for surfacing and £27,000 for bridge replacement. [9.7] 11.74 The appellant proposes to upgrade the part of footpath 67 that falls within the appeal site since it will form part of the circular walk proposed by the Scheme. The remainder of footpath 67, an agricultural field, is not within the control of the appellant. The introduction of an engineered surface would be likely to have implications for the existing agricultural use of the field, and there is no evidence to suggest that the owner of the field would be willing to accommodate such an upgrade.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Nor is there any evidence to explain why the bridge would need to be replaced. Therefore, having regard to the walking and cycling routes proposed by the Scheme overall, upgrading this part of footpath 67 to a bridleway is not necessary to make the Scheme acceptable. Footpaths 68 and 70 11.75 Footpaths 68 and 70 provide access along the southern boundary of the site towards Daedalus Way. Both HCC Countryside services and Highway Authority seek the upgrade of this route, to accommodate cycling, towards Crofton School in Stubbington. The mitigation sought by the Highway Authority also includes an upgrade to the pedestrian refuge on Daedalus Way to accommodate cycles. (These works are identified as works D6 in the highway mitigation). [9.9,9.10] 11.76 There is an existing concrete surface along most of the length of footpath 68. This provides vehicular access to the fishing lakes and is also used by agricultural equipment associated with Newlands Farm. Part of footpath 68 deviates from the concrete road and runs along the southern embankment of the fishing lakes.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM HCC consider that this matter should be resolved by the appellant.[9.9] 11.77 In terms of PROW, HCC Countryside Services is seeking £101,400 towards surfacing and £30,000 towards drainage. HCC Highway Authority also seeks the upgrade of this route which it considers should be delivered by way of a planning obligation and is seeking £516,720 and legal fees of £35,000. 11.78 The justification for the upgrade is that the site is within the catchment area of Crofton School and the LHA are of the view that the majority of children would attend Crofton School. The school census in 2023 found that 41% of children cycled to Crofton School, and applying this percentage to the proposed development, there would be 103 secondary pupils cycling to school.44 The appellant considers the education trip rate to be 1.3%, equating to 8 trips per day. 44 Ms Ballorin Rebuttal POE paragraph 3.3 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 66

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 This figure was derived from the Trip Generation data for education uses which forms part of the Transport Addendum.45 The appellant’s significantly lower figure is based on TRICS data, whereas HCC’s figure is based on information from the school. I therefore prefer HCC’s figure but acknowledge that due to the distance of the site from Crofton School, and the intervening Stubbington Bypass that this may be an over-estimate.[7.21,8.15] 11.79 The three nearest secondary schools to the appeal site are the Fareham Academy, Henry Cort Community School and Crofton School. The priority criteria differ slightly for each school, but are consistent that first priority is to looked after children, second is for children or families with an exceptional medical and/or social need and thirdly to children of staff. The next level of priority is for children within the catchment followed by children living out of the catchment. 11.80 The school closest to the appeal site is the Fareham Academy (0.8 miles), followed by Henry Cort Community College (1.8 miles) and then Crofton Secondary School (2 miles). 11.81 There were 408 spaces at the five secondary schools closest to the appeal site.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM HCC confirm that these schools are undercapacity and their numbers are inflated by pupils travelling longer distances to these schools.46 11.82 The Scheme is located immediately to the southern boundary of Fareham and would be separated from Stubbington by the Strategic Gap. Criterion f) of Policy HA55 requires pedestrian and cycle links to connect to Fareham Town Centre. As such the site represents an urban extension to Fareham. 11.83 Given parental choice and the potential spare capacity at all three secondary schools it is not possible to conclude on the number of children that would travel to Crofton School. However, it is probable that many families will choose Fareham Academy since it is significantly closer than the other two schools, and the site would be more closely integrated with Fareham than Stubbington. 11.84 Assuming that the children would be spread across the three nearest schools and using HCC’s figure for the proportion of children cycling to school, there would be about 35 children cycling to Crofton School from the appeal site each day. In the interests of sustainable transport and active travel it is important that there is a safe route for children to walk and cycle to Crofton School.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.85 The appellant identifies two alternative routes to Crofton School that would use the existing Peak Lane shared footway/cycle way and the Toucan crossing at the junction of Daedalus Way and Peak Lane. One of these would be off carriageway and would use a crossing designed to accommodate cyclists. A comparison of routes from the western part of the site to Crofton School would add between 80 and 360 m to the journey length. From the eastern part of the site the journey would be 820m longer. The appellant suggests that this would take about 3 minutes by cycle and this was not disputed by HCC. 45 CD 2.18 Transport Assessment Addendum Appendix A and Mrs Baker POE paragraph 3.46 46 Mr Hunter POE paragraph 4.31 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 67

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.86 The route suggested by HCC would be unlit and not overlooked. For this reason, it is less likely to be used in winter months, and it is probable that many parents would be concerned about their children using this route. Therefore, having regard to the alternative routes available, with signalised crossings I do not consider it to be necessary for Footpaths 68 and 70 to be upgraded to a bridleway to accommodate children cycling to Crofton School. Moreover, to require the appellant to fund repairs to footpath 68 that were due to the actions of another party would mean that the contribution sought would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. For these reasons, I do not consider the planning obligation sought would be Regulation 122(2) compliant. 11.87 The UU provides that if the planning obligation were found not to meet the Regulation 122(2) tests, it would make a financial contribution of £35,000 towards changing the status of footpaths 68 and 70 to permit cycling. Footpath 75 11.88 Footpath 75 runs along the eastern boundary of the site connecting footpath 68 to Daedalus Way.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM HCC seek the resurfacing of this footpath, as well as upgrading it to a 3-metre-wide bridleway. HCC is seeking £75,600 towards these works. 11.89 At present this route is a typical public footpath with a grass surface, but prone to becoming muddy and waterlogged and in places overgrown. It is adjoined on the other side by the fence to HMS Collingwood. Given that this is an existing route I agree with HCC that it is unlikely that there would be any safety issues associated with the proximity of HMS Collingwood. Widening this route would however be likely to result in the loss of the hedge and trees along the route. [9.13] 11.90 The Scheme includes a shared pedestrian/cycle route within the site adjacent to this boundary and parallel to the existing path. This would be a permissive route and therefore HCC contend that the public would have no right to pass and repass and would therefore be of limited use to the existing local community. 11.91 The route would be preferable to the existing route in that it would be overlooked and integrated with the development. Unlike the proposal to upgrade the existing route, it would also enable the retention of the existing hedge.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM FBC concurs with this view.[5.36] 11.92 HCC is concerned that since the proposed route would not be a PROW, it may not be available for public use or in perpetuity to residents of the Scheme. However, paragraph 4.1 of Schedule Two of the UU requires the routes to be made available for public use. Any temporary closures to this and other on-site routes would need to be approved by FBC. I conclude that the on-site route proposed would be preferable to upgrading footpath 75 and although it would not be a designated PROW, it would be available to the public. Therefore, having regard to the Regulation 122(2) tests I find that the requested contribution would not be compliant since the Scheme would not give rise to any additional use of the existing footpath, and therefore it is not necessary to make the Scheme acceptable.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.93 In addition, HCC requests £10,000 towards furniture and signage improvements, £7,000 towards diversion and £35,000 towards legal costs. 11.94 The UU includes provision for the provision of a cycleway and footpath link from works D2 to the southern edge of Longfield Avenue, together with a financial contribution towards these works, or alternatively the appellant may complete the works under licence. These works are necessary to provide a link between the appeal site and Longfield Avenue and are not disputed by the appellant. I am satisfied that this obligation would meet the CIL122(2) tests. 11.95 Overall, I find that with the exception of the Bishopfield Road/Longfield Avenue link works, the planning obligations in respect of the PROW would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2). HIGHWAY CONTRIBUTIONS AND HIGHWAY WORKS 11.96 A number of the highway works and the mechanism for their delivery are agreed between the parties. These include works A1, C1, D1, D2, D2, D3, D4, D5, D10 and D11.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The need for these works were identified by the Transport Assessment, Transport Assessment Addendum and in terms of the pedestrian and cycle routes are also necessary to deliver the sustainable transport measures required by Policy HA55. On this basis I am satisfied that they are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; directly related to the development; and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. As such they are compliant with CIL Regulation 122(2) 11.97 Policy TIN2 states that development will be permitted where, amongst other matters, the residual cumulative impact on the road networks is not severe. The Highway Authority seeks strategic road capacity improvements at the Titchfield Gyratory (B2), St Margaret’s roundabout (B3) and the A27 Segensworth roundabout (B4). There are also strategic non-highway capacity improvements at Gudge Heath Lane and the A27 (D9) and Longfield Avenue and Newgate Lane (D8). The difference between the parties relates to the type of contribution. The Highway Authority seeks a financial contribution towards these works.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.98 The highway capacity impact has been derived from the results of the junction modelling within the Transport Assessment and the Transport Assessment Addendum (CD 2.11 and CD 2.17). The SRTM was used to model the proposed land allocations and identify key transport implications resulting from the scale and location of the allocations within the FLP. 11.99 The Transport Assessment was based on SRTM to obtain traffic flows with and without the proposed development in place. The site is allocated for development and is therefore included within the Local Plan model scenarios that include the full Local Plan development assumptions. A separate 2036 ‘Without Development’ Scenario was produced with the development assumptions for the appeal site removed. The SRTM does not factor in any modal shift away from private car use that would result from the various measures to promote sustainable modes of transport that accompany the Scheme, including the Framework Travel Plan and physical improvements to pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.100 The appellant provides a summary of impacts of HA55 at the Titchfield Gyratory, St Margaret’s Roundabout and Segensworth Roundabout in terms of changes in queues and delays between the 2036 scenarios with and without the combined traffic from the FLP allocations assessed in the SRTM model.47 In all three locations, the modelling from the SRTM as presented in the Fareham Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment (STA) Addendum (Ref CD 9.16) confirms that these junctions would operate over capacity in the absence of any additional traffic from the FLP allocations and that the latter would exacerbate the situation. Ms Baker’s evidence also provides a similar analysis based on the ‘first principles’ approach, which show similar levels of delays and queuing at these locations with and without the proposed development. [5.49] Titchfield Gyratory(B2) 11.101 Undisputed evidence from the appellant indicates that the gyratory is already operating over capacity and existing traffic experiences severe delays and that the appeal Scheme would not add significantly to either the queue length or the delay having regard to the baseline.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.102 With the development during the AM peak, queue lengths on all arms other than Titchfield Hill ahead left and the West Circulatory right turn would reduce by comparison to the baseline scenario. The increase on the other two arms would be 2 and 6 Passenger Car Unit (PCU) respectively. There would be delays of over 30 mins on both of these arms without the development. This would marginally reduce with the development in place.48 11.103 In PM peak there would be a significant reduction in the number of PCUs using Titchfield Hill ahead left (141.7 PCUs) with the development compared to without. However, the delays would increase by about 142 seconds.49 11.104 Accordingly, there would be substantial delays at the Titchfield Gyratory with or without the appeal Scheme. The Highway Authority contend that if the Scheme is removed from the model, there would be a reassignment of background and development traffic flows from other allocations and as such the traffic flows are higher than with the development, however, no evidence was submitted to support this view.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Based on the traffic modelling, the impact of the appeal Scheme at this junction would be insignificant in the AM peak and minimal during the PM peak when compared to the baseline. For this reason, the planning obligation is not necessary to make the development acceptable. 11.105 Should the SoS disagree with this conclusion the UU makes provision for a financial contribution towards these works. The Highway Authority seeks a contribution of £400,000. This represents the full cost of the improvement measures. The Highway Authority contends that improvements to the gyratory are required in order to meet Local Plan growth, and that given the size of the 47 Mrs Baker POE paragraphs 3.20 – 3.26 48 Mrs Baker POE paragraph 3.20: 1793 second delay at Titchfield Hill ahead left without the Scheme compared to 1742 seconds with the Scheme.

However, both parties agree that the gyratory is already operating over capacity and existing traffic experiences severe delays. Therefore, any contribution towards improvements would be used in part to remedy an existing situation.[8.15] 11.106 In addition, requiring the appellant to fully fund the works at this location when it would have at most a minimal effect of the junction capacity would not be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 11.107 Policy TIN4 requires all developments (excluding householder applications) to provide and contribute towards the delivery of new or improved infrastructure, or other mitigation, to mitigate the impacts of the development. I therefore disagree with the Highway Authority that the remaining allocated sites are not of a sufficient size to secure the funding towards the capacity improvements. 11.108 The Highway Authority’s alternative position is that the appellant should meet 80% of the cost of the works.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM This figure is based on the number of non- committed dwellings on sites allocated within the Local Plan and whether occupants of a particular site would be likely to use this junction.50[8.16] 11.109 In my view, even if the Highway Authority’s request for a proportionate figure was justified, I find its assessment to be unduly simplistic for a number of reasons. 11.110 The calculation used by the Highway Authority assumes that the Scheme would deliver 1250 dwellings, whereas the application is for up to 1,200 dwellings. Moreover, the non-committed sites include allocation BL1, for 620 dwellings, which based on Appendix A of the Highway Authority’s evidence will have no impact on any junction. I acknowledge that dwellings within the B1 allocation will be dispersed. Notwithstanding this, I find it improbable that these 620 dwellings will not have any impact on the strategic road network. 11.111 In addition to the allocated sites, the FLP anticipates that windfall sites would contribute about 1,120 dwellings over the plan period.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Whilst not all of these may use the Titchfield Gyratory, they nevertheless represent a significant number of dwellings that could reasonably be expected to contribute towards the strategic network capacity improvements. 11.112 I therefore find that the Highway Authority’s assessment over-estimates the number of dwellings on the appeal site and fails to take account of other dwellings that could contribute to the works. In order for the contribution to be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development, regard must be had to the effect of the development on the junction concerned. As set out above, it would be at most minimal. Therefore requiring the proposal to fully fund the upgrade to the Titchfield Gyratory would on the basis of the Highway Authority figures mean that the Scheme would be subsidising about 354 other dwellings on allocated sites,51 and possibly a great many more if windfall sites and the BL1 allocation are taken int account. 50 See Ms Ballorin POE Appendix A. 51 Includes up to 50 dwellings on the Seale / Williams site https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 71

Evidence submitted on behalf of the appellant shows the effect of the proposal on flows at St Margaret’s roundabout to be slight with 10 extra vehicles at any arm of the roundabout. Given that baseline flows range from 107 to 2,660 this is not considered to be significant.52 11.114 The Highway Authority seeks a financial contribution of £100,000 towards capacity improvements that include signalisation. For the same reasons as the Titchfield Gyratory they seek 100% of the cost, or alternatively 85% of the cost, for the same reasons as given above.53[8.17] 11.115 Given the absence of any material change in the volume to capacity flows the impact on this junction would not be significant and the mitigation sought by the Highway Authority is not necessary to make the development acceptable. 11.116 At the Segensworth roundabout with the exception of Southampton Road South the increase in flows is modest. On Southampton Road South there would be an increase of 115 vehicles in the AM peak and 189 in the PM peak.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Notwithstanding this, the STRM modelling indicates that this arm of the roundabout would have a flow to capacity ratio of less than 50%. 11.117 The works to the Segensworth roundabout have been part funded by existing s106 agreements. The Highway Authority seeks a contribution of £40,000 to fund the remainder of this Scheme, or alternatively 85% of the remainder. Given that the roundabout would still operate within capacity with the Scheme in place, the planning obligation is not necessary to make the Scheme acceptable. Pedestrian and Cyclist Provision 11.118 D6 is the upgrade of routes towards Crofton School. I have considered this matter within the PROW Obligations and concluded that it would not be CIL compliant. 11.119 D7 is the Rowan Way/Longfield Avenue/Peak Lane Junction. These works have been identified by the LCWIP. The Highway Authority seeks improvements to mitigate the cumulative impact of the Scheme on existing cyclists arising from the additional traffic generated. It considers that this additional traffic would exacerbate the personal injury accident record. The mitigation works are identified in the IDP and are anticipated to cost £1.6 million and comprise a compact Dutch roundabout.

Should the SoS reach a different conclusion on this matter the Highway Authority state that the contribution of £299,000 is a pro rata contribution based on an overall cost of £1.61million. However, £1.61million is the overall cost of works to LCWIP route 127.1. I understand that this route is over 12km in length and on the basis of the information submitted to the Inquiry, I am unable to conclude that that the contribution sought is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the Scheme. Consequently these works would not be CIL compliant. 11.125 D8 is a LCWIP scheme at Newgate Lane/Longfield Avenue within the IDP. It is also part of route 271.1. The measures are not yet fully developed, but the intention is to provide continuity through the junction for walkers and cyclists with toucan crossings and cycling links.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.127 The IDP separates infrastructure contributions into those required in relation to specific allocations (Table 6) and projects that have been identified through evidence studies and responses from service providers that apply to sites across the Borough are set out at Table 7. The IDP advises that contributions towards these projects would be through a combination of developer contributions and other funding where identified. 11.128 Table 7 identifies this project as being necessary as part of the mitigation required due to the knock-on impacts of the FLP growth. Given the appellant’s acknowledgement that the scheme is required to improve accessibility between the site and retail and employment opportunities at Newgate Lane, although it is not a site-specific requirement, I consider that it is necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms. However, the mitigation has not yet been developed, and the contribution requested by HCC relates to a much larger scheme. On the basis of the available information, I am not satisfied that the contribution sought is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM For this reason, the contribution sought would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2). 11.129 D9 is the Gudge Heath Lane/A27. This is identified at Table 7 of the IDP due to the knock-on effects of Local Plan development. It is also identified as part of the LWCIP which aims to improve cycle route continuity through the junction and improve east/ west cycle route continuity and connectivity to Gudge Heath Lane and Redfields Lane. 11.130 The Highway Authority states that an upgrade of the signal timings to MOVA has been introduced and that it seeks to prioritise active travel mode improvements over highway capacity improvements to encourage more trips by sustainable modes by existing and future residents. It is of the view that this approach would satisfactorily mitigate capacity impact from the development as this would result in vehicular trips being removed from the network and in turn alleviate the capacity impact at this location. 11.131 The junction capacity has been assessed within Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment and Addendum as well as by the appellant Transport Assessment and Addendum.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The Local Plan assessment included the impacts from the appeal site as part of the Local Plan growth, whilst the Appellant’s assessment, which is specific to the appeal Scheme shows the traffic flows with and without the development. The appellant’s assessment has not been disputed by the Highway Authority, and I find it more useful in order to assess the impact of the development. The figures within the appellant’s Transport Proof of Evidence reflect those within the Transport Assessment, however, they differ from those within the Transport Assessment Addendum.54 I have therefore relied on the more recent figures within the Transport Statement Addendum.55 11.132 On the basis of these figures the junction would be congested on 4 arms within the AM peak both with and without the development, although 3 of these arms would exceed the junction capacity due to the development. In the PM peak two 54 Mrs Baker POE paragraph 3.13 55 CD 2.17 paragraph 6.1.18 Table 5.5 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 74

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 arms would be congested with and without the Scheme, and due to the Scheme a further arm would be congested, although all would operate within capacity, albeit at towards the upper end. The Scheme would add up to 12 PCUs during the AM peak and 7 during the PM peak. In the context of the overall volume of traffic using this junction the increase in the length of the queue is modest and would be unlikely to lead to significant delays. 11.133 Notwithstanding this, the appeal Scheme would add to congestion and delays. The intention to mitigate it through implementing improvements to the pedestrian and cycling infrastructure would accord with Policy TIN7 and Section 9 of the Framework that seeks to promote sustainable travel. The Local Plan Strategic Transport Highway Assessment (CD 9.15) states that there is a reasonable level of crossing movements on the Gudge Heath Lane arm of the junction which is on main route between Fareham railway station/town centre and Fareham College to the west. However, there is no formal crossing facilities, and as a consequence users must cross during gaps in the traffic with the aid of a narrow central island.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.134 The Highway Authority seek a contribution of £410,000 towards the full cost of the scheme. As an alternative, it seeks a proportionate contribution of 85% (£360,000) on a similar basis to mitigation B2, B3 and B4. The appellant disputes that a contribution is necessary since the impact on the junction is not severe and the improvement scheme is not justified to address the impacts of the appeal Scheme alone. 11.135 The mitigation works have been identified as a strategic requirement and in part are necessary to address the existing poor pedestrian and cycling facilities at this junction. Whilst the appeal Scheme may add to the congestion at this junction it would not significantly add to the congestion or exacerbate the existing conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. I therefore find that requiring the appellant to fund the full costs of the works would not be Regulation 122(2) CIL compliant. For the reasons given above in relation mitigation works B2, B3 and B4 I do not find the proportionate cost suggested as an alternative to meet the tests either. 11.136 I have considered the alternative figure proposed by the appellant. This represents about 50% of the contribution sought.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The appellant adopts a similar position in relation to other highway contributions, however, there is insufficient information for me to conclude that even this lower figure would be fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. As such I find the contribution towards works at D9 would fail to comply with the tests at CIL Regulation 122(2). 11.137 Overall, I conclude that Highway contributions B2, B3, B4, D6, D7, D8, and D9 at Schedule Eight of the UU would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2). BNG and Nitrates 11.138 It is common ground between the Appellant and FBC that the Development is going to result in a reduction of nitrates entering the Solent. There is a condition ensuring that the Development delivers at least 10% BNG. Therefore, it is accepted between the parties that the obligations in Schedules 9 and 10 are not necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 75

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.139 Schedule Nine in relation to Biodiversity Units and Schedule Ten in relation to Nitrates, enable any excess BNG Units (i.e. the biodiversity net gain in excess of 10%) and / or the net nitrate reduction to be used to enable the delivery of other site. 11.140 These obligations would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2) since they are not necessary to make the development acceptable. Consequently they cannot be a reason for granting planning permission. Conclusion on Planning Obligations 11.141 I conclude that the following planning obligations would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2) for the reasons given above: • Schedule Two - the Sports Hub provision contribution • Schedule Five - contributions towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy and the New Forest SPA, New Forest SAC and the New Forest RAMSAR • Schedule Six - Primary Education Contribution B • Schedule Seven - contributions toward footpaths 48, 51, 67, 68, 90,&75 • Schedule Eight - contributions towards highway mitigation,B2, B3, B4, D6 ,D7, D8, & D9 • Schedules Nine and Ten BNG and Nitrates.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.142 Should the SoS agree that the above obligations are incompatible with any of the relevant tests, the UU provides at paragraph 3.3 that they shall not be enforceable by the FBC or HCC. CIL 11.143 The parties disagree as to whether certain elements of infrastructure sought by FBC and HCC should be funded by a planning obligation or CIL. These elements include some highway mitigation measures, some PROW, and the Sports Hub. 11.144 The highway mitigation and PROW in dispute are mitigation measures B2, B3, B4, D6, D7, D8, & D9 and the contributions towards footpaths 48, 51, 67, 68, 70 & 75. In each case I have found that the planning obligation sought would not comply with CIL Regulation 122(2) tests. 11.145 The Sports Hub is identified as a borough-wide infrastructure requirement within the IDP. The Council’s evidence to the CIL examination identified that leisure facilities, with the exception of Ferneham Hall and the Longfield Sports hub would be funded by s106 contributions. However, in the case of the Sports Hub, the entire shortfall was included in the funding gap. This would indicate that FBC did not anticipate collecting s106 contributions towards the Sports Hub.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.146 I agree with FBC that planning obligations can be used to fund infrastructure that has a broader community function, provided it complies with the Regulation 122(2) tests. However, I find that many of the disputed mitigation measures https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 76

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 above were either not necessary to make the development acceptable, or not reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. In the case of the former whether they are funded by CIL or s106 does not arise. When assessing the latter it may be relevant to take account of CIL, including the evidence taken into account when setting the CIL rate. 11.147 Where evidence presented to the CIL examination indicates that the funding gap to justify the level of CIL includes the full cost of a particular item of infrastructure, it is a reasonable expectation that if the Local Planning Authority wishes to see that particular item of infrastructure delivered that it would use CIL monies. Seeking s106 contributions for such items risks double funding and fall to be assessed under the fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development test within CIL 122(2). 11.148 CIL provides the charging authority with the flexibility to choose what infrastructure they need to deliver their relevant plan, but they must spend the levy on infrastructure needed to support the development of their area, and they will decide what infrastructure is needed.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The Scheme would be liable for about £10 million CIL Levy. It is clearly a matter for the Council as to how this levy is used. There would however be sufficient funds to deliver the infrastructure sought by the disputed planning obligations. Therefore, it would be for FBC to decide whether these items of infrastructure are a priority. Appropriate Assessment 11.149 The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) require that where a plan or project is likely to have a significant effect on a European site either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, and where the plan or project is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the European site, a competent authority (the SoS in this instance) is required to make an Appropriate Assessment of the implications of that plan or project on the integrity of the European site in view of the site’s conservation objectives. 11.150 The appeal site lies within an influential proximity (5.6km) to five European designated sites; Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar / SPA, Portsmouth Harbour Ramsar / SPA, Solent & Dorset Coast SPA, Solent Maritime SAC and the New Forest SPA.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.151 A number of pathways were scoped out of the assessment. The Scheme gives rise to likely significant effects due to hydrological effects and loss of supporting habitat during construction and hydrological effects and recreational pressure during operation. Mitigation measures include a Construction Environment Management Plan in respect of the hydrological impacts, a 10 hectare bird reserve to mitigate the loss of supporting habitat, and about 45ha of Green Infrastructure, with approximately 22.84ha of this occurring to the west of Peak Lane (including bird reserve) to mitigate recreational disturbance. 11.152 Natural England acknowledge that this mitigation would avoid adverse impacts on the integrity of these European Sites with the exception the in-combination effects of recreational disturbance on the Solent SPA and recreational disturbance to the New Forest SPA. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 77

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 11.153 My conclusions above in relation to Schedule Five of the UU found that the Scheme would avoid adverse impacts on these sites, due to the quantum and quality of the Green Infrastructure to be provided and the travel distance to the New Forest. 11.154 It is a matter for the SoS as the competent authority to make an Appropriate Assessment of the Scheme on the integrity of these European Sites. Appendix E of this Report provides the information to inform the SoS Habitats Regulations Assessment. Other Matters 11.155 Interested parties raised a number of other matters both at the Inquiry and in written representations. The Framework is clear that planning law requires that applications for planning permission be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Therefore, having regard to allocation of the site within a recently adopted Local Plan I am satisfied that the principle of the development is acceptable. FBC agrees with this position. 11.156 Several parties raised concerns about the impact of the proposal on the Strategic Gap which separates Fareham and Stubbington.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM The appeal Scheme reflects the delineation of the Strategic Gap shown on the Indicative Framework Plan at Policy HA55 and the masterplanning principles at appendix D of the FLP. 11.157 There were also concerns regarding the height and layout of the proposed development, particularly in the vicinity of the Strategic Gap. Since this is an outline application these matters, including any lighting and fencing to the Sports Hub, will be addressed as part of the reserved matters. 11.158 The Stubbington bypass has recently been completed and written and oral evidence to the Inquiry suggests that it has eased traffic congestion in the area. Interested parties are concerned that the impact of traffic from the Scheme may cause congestion and thereby negate the recent improvements. The highway impacts of the Scheme have been extensively considered, both at the time the site was allocated and in the context of the appeal Scheme. The Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment and the appellant’s Transport Assessment found the proposal to be acceptable in terms of its impact on the highway network. No substantive evidence to the contrary has been submitted.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM I therefore conclude that the appeal Scheme would not add significantly to congestion on the Stubbington bypass. 11.159 Various parties were concerned that there was insufficient education and health infrastructure to support the proposal. The LEA confirm that current school forecasts indicate that there would be sufficient capacity for secondary age children at the catchment school Crofton School and across the Secondary School landscape within the vicinity of the development. The Scheme would make provision for a new primary school on the appeal site. There is uncertainty as to the size of the school required as well as potential adverse implications of over-providing school places on existing schools in the area. 11.160 I have found above that a 1FE would provide sufficient capacity for up to 700 eligible dwellings. The additional pro rata contribution proposed by the appellant https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 78

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 would adequately mitigate the need for any additional places arising from the appeal Scheme should more than 700 eligible dwellings be delivered on the appeal site. In addition, sufficient land is safeguarded for a period of ten years should the LEA find a need for a 2FE to serve the appeal Scheme and other developments that may come forward. Moreover, the appellant’s undisputed evidence is that there is considerable excess capacity within nearby primary schools. In addition, the UU also makes a contribution towards SEND education. 11.161 In terms of health services, it is evident that existing services are oversubscribed. The ICB (the organisation responsible for commissioning primary care services) does not want a new medical facility on the appeal site, but instead seek a contribution towards the expansion/relocation of other services. The UU provided for this contribution. 11.162 A number of parties questioned whether the Southern Water Peel Common Sewage Treatment Works had sufficient capacity to treat waste from the development. Southern Water has confirmed that it can have the capacity to facilitate foul sewerage disposal from the proposed development.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Detailed design issues relating to the foul water infrastructure would be considered at the reserved matters stage. Planning Balance and Conclusion 11.163 The Main parties agree that the appeal should be allowed, subject to suitable conditions and planning obligations. The proposal is consistent with the intent of FLP Policy HA55. The land use parameter plan depicts the arrangements of uses across the site and is consistent with the indicative framework plan associated with policy H55. The proposal will provide suitable Green Infrastructure including recreational space that is considered to be a reasonable alternative to recreation at the Solent and New Forest SPA and protected sites. The Scheme includes a bird reserve with suitable features. The form and capacity of the highway access from Longfield Avenue and Peak Lane are appropriate and the overall Scheme incorporates measures for walking and cycling. The proposal would also make suitable provision for a local centre, provide the necessary land for the delivery of the Sports Hub and make suitable provision for education and healthcare.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM 11.164 The proposal would provide considerable economic environmental and social benefits including the delivery of affordable housing, extra care accommodation and market housing. The Housing Delivery Test records FBC’s performance as 55% and in these circumstances the appeal Scheme would make a significant contribution towards the supply of homes within FBC in accordance with the policies within the Framework. 11.165 I find that the appeal Scheme would accord with the development plan as a whole and in the absence of any material considerations to the contrary, planning permission should be granted. 12 Recommendation 12.1 For the reasons set out above and having had regard to all other matters raised, I recommend that the SoS exercises the ‘blue pencil’ in accordance with paragraph https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 79

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — LAND TO THE SOUTH OF LONGFIELD AVENUE, FAREHAM Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 3.3 of the UU in relation to the planning obligations set out at paragraph 11.141 above. 12.2 I recommend that the appeal should be allowed, and that planning permission should be granted subject to the imposition of the conditions set out in Appendix C to this Report.

The proposals comprise an outline planning application for the erection of up to 1200 dwellings with a local centre, primary school, health and community facilities and areas of open space for recreation and biodiversity opportunities. Access will be gained from the existing road network off Peak Lane and Longfield Avenue, via the provision of a new roundabout and / or signalised junctions. 2. The proposals provide for a significant amount of green infrastructure (GI) comprising approximately 50% of the overall site (c. 39.17ha). This GI includes a Country Park which runs along the south boundary of the Application Site and continues to the west of Peak Lane encircling Oxleys Coppice Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). The area of GI to the east of Peak Lane will have a formal play area. 3.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) require that where a plan or project is likely to have a significant effect on a European site either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, and where the plan or project is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the European site, a competent authority (the Secretary of State in this instance) is required to make an Appropriate Assessment of the implications of that plan or project on the integrity of the European site in view of the site’s conservation objectives. 4. This assessment has regard to the appellant’s Shadow Habitats Regulation Assessment, and the views of Natural England.56 PROJECT LOCATION 5. The Site is approximately 77.77 hectares divided into two areas by Peak Lane. The eastern areas comprise largely of arable land with hedgerows and ditches forming periphery features typical of the surrounding arable area. The field compartments to the west of Peak Lane, were historically arable fields that have been rotational cropped and then set aside, but recently, due to lack of farming practices, this has now developed a semi-improved grassland community in one compartment to the east. 6.

Due to the distance of the proposed development from the identified European sites, a number of impact pathways can be scoped out of this assessment. These include Chichester & Langstone Ramsar/Harbour Ramsar/SPA and Solent & Isle of Wight Lagoons SAC, which are 10km and 8km distant respectively.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The Solent Sites Pathways Screened Out 16. The impact pathways in relation to the Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA57 include construction impacts (dust/noise and direct loss of habitat) and nutrient neutrality. The operational impacts include air quality and hydrological effects. 17. The appeal site is between 660m (Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA) and 4.6km (Solent Maritime SAC) from European Sites. Indirect effects such as dust particle release, have the potential to disrupt the biological functionality of flora species. The distance which dust particles are likely to travel is between 350-400m with effects greater the closer to the source of release. There are no European sites within this zone and therefore this pathway can be scoped out of 57 For the purposes of this assessment this includes the Portsmouth Harbour Ramsar/SPA, Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA, Solent Maritime SAC and the Solent and Dorset Coast SPA. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 122

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 the assessment. Due to the intervening distance, the effects on SPA/Ramsar designated species, particularly birds, will not be impacted by noise/vibration effects during the construction activity. 18. In terms of nutrient neutrality there will be a reduction of nitrogen/nitrates leeching and a betterment from the Proposed Development. The conclusion of the total nitrogen load from wastewater and future development nitrogen leeching, has led to a positive nitrate neutrality resulting in a benefit to the Solent Catchment area. These benefits mean that nutrient neutrality can be scoped out of any further assessment. 19. Turning to the operational effects, there is a potential risk from road traffic emissions that protected sites that fall within 200m of road affected by a project or plan. This occurs at along the B3334 north of Stubbington (750m south west of the appeal Site), the A32 near Fleetlands (1.3km east) and where the A32 joins the A27 (1.5km north east). Residents are unlikely to access these routes since they are not direct routes for which residents would take to access the wider area.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Traffic data indicates that there would be a two-way hourly traffic flow increase of eleven vehicles due to the development, which is an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of 120, and therefore considerably below the 1,000 AADT threshold for a significant effect. Therefore, the potential effects of emissions on these receptors from this pathway can be screened out of the assessment. 20. There is no confirmed hydraulic connectivity from the Site that would potentially affect the Portsmouth Harbour Ramsar/SPA, Solent and Dorset SPA and Solent Maritime SAC. Consequently, the potential effects to the hydrological resource can be scoped out of this assessment for these European Sites. Potential Impacts 21. The Proposed Development will generate construction impacts and operational impacts that have the potential to affect the Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar / SPA, Portsmouth Harbour Ramsar/SPA sites and the following qualifying features of the sites – assemblages of birds, including Brent Geese and coastal habitats. The impact pathways are hydrological effects and loss of supporting habitat during construction and hydrological effects and recreational pressure during operation. 22.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Construction Impacts - Hydrological Effects Ditch D7 abuts the southern boundary of the appeal site to the west of Peak Lane, this runs into Crofton ditch, off site, which then runs south into Titchfield Haven SSSI which is a part of the Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA. The proposals in the western parts of the site consist of 1.5ha of residential uses, 3.6ha of outdoor sports areas and 17.8ha of GI including the large expanses of Country Park to the south and west of Peak Lane. 23. There is potential during the construction phase that pollution may enter the ditch D7, this could be from chemical spills, vehicle leakages of fuel and oils or sediment. Crofton ditch runs approximately 890m south from the appeal Site https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 123

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 boundary into the Titchfield Haven and then Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA. Due to the proximity of the appeal site to these habitats a likely significant effect cannot be ruled out. 24. The Solent Waders and Brent Goose Strategy (SWBGS) (2020) has been produced by the Solent Waders and Brent Goose Strategy Steering Group, which has been supported by Hampshire County Council, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT), Coastal Partners, Hampshire Ornithological Society, RSPB and Natural England.58 The aim of this document is to protect a network of non-designated terrestrial wader and Brent goose sites that provide supporting habitat to the Solent SPAs 25. The SWBGS classifies land within the surrounding area, separate from the SPA, for their value to support SPA species, these range from ‘core’ areas to ‘candidate’ sites. It is important to stress that the ‘low use’ classification is defined as ‘having records of birds in low numbers. 26. FPCR have undertaken 40 wintering bird surveys between 2018/19 to 2021/22 with additional wintering and SPA surveys conducted between 2013/14 to 2015/16.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey During these surveys ‘notable species’ were recorded, but no specific bird species that are qualifying features of the Solent SPA/Ramsar were identified. Based on these findings purely by FPCR, the Site does not reach the ‘low use’ classification. As such, the habitats within the Site do not appear to form important supporting habitat for the species, as they would be expected to occur in greater numbers and frequency. 27. The land west of Peak Lane (F17G is still classified as ‘low use’, although there is only one record of several golden plover individuals on this parcel, on a single occasion in 2015. 28. The proposed development will see the loss of ‘low use’ supporting habitat to the east of Peak Lane (F76 and F17M), where there will be GI located to the south of the development, but this will have the primary function for recreation. The loss of these two fields with regards to the SWBGS, will result in the loss of supporting habitats for the generalist waterfowl species. No SPA qualifying bird species will be displaced, as they were absent during the FPCR surveys.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Based on the SWBGS the loss of these two fields to the east of Peak Lane, designated as supporting habitat, could have a potential adverse effect on the species utilising them, and thus cause an indirect adverse effect on the integrity of the SPA/Ramsar. 29. Operational Impacts Hydrological Effects -The increase in the extent of the built environments due to the appeal scheme will correspondingly increase the extent of associated hardstanding environments, whereby runoff from such surfaces including roads and pavements, could carry pollutants into the watercourses around the periphery of the Site.

Land west of Peak Lane will be entirely devoted to GI, comprising approximately 22.84ha of open greenspace, with a number of new ditches and waterbodies created; this will also include some enhancements of existing ditches around Oxleys Coppice. Ditch D7 runs south of the land west of Peak Lane, linking to Titchfield Haven SSSI and Solent & Southampton Water Ramsar/SPA. Accordingly, any likely significant effect cannot be ruled out during any GI enhancements and creation works. 31. The Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy (2017) assessed that any developments within 5.6km of the Solent SPAs would have the potential to result in a likely significant effect, alone or in-combination with other project and plans.59 The Site at its nearest point is only 660m from the Solent & Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, therefore a likely significant effect is likely to occur without mitigation. 32.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey In conclusion, the proposed development could have a likely significant effect on the Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar sites due to hydrological effects during construction and operation, on the Solent SPA due to the loss of supporting habitat during construction, and recreational pressure during operation. Mitigation 33. To mitigate for the potential release of pollutants into on-site ditch systems and then consequently to the Solent & Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, a Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP) will be implemented across the Site during the construction phase. 34. The CEMP will be implemented to ensure that all precautionary measures are undertaken, these will also follow guidance on Pollution Prevention Guidance for businesses.60 35. The runoff during construction works, which might result from the compaction of the ground, will be mitigated for by ground water level monitoring which will be detailed through the CEMP. The temporary increases in impermeable areas will be directed to a temporary drainage sedimentation area, which will be agreed with the Environment Agency. All the above measures would ensure that there is no significant effect with regards to hydrology during construction. 36.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The approximate 22.84ha of land to the west of Peak Lane will consist largely of a meadow grassland habitat. This would be split into three areas, with a central area directly south of Oxleys Coppice consisting of a 10ha ‘reserve’ that is specifically designed to create habitats that can be utilised by bird species, but 59 CD 9.8 60 See CD 2.45 paragraph 4.3 for the specific Guidance for Pollution Prevention measures proposed https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 125

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 particularly waders. The ‘reserve’ will initially be fenced off with a native hedgerow planted around the perimeter, which will develop a thick and thorny barrier that will stop residents and dogs from accessing this area in the long term. The delivery of the bird reserve would be secured by the UU and suggested condition 10 would require the submission of a management plan for the reserve. 37. A management strategy will be put into place to ensure that the habitats maintain their functionality for waders, this will include the monitoring of the waterbodies to ensure that open muddy areas persist on the scrapes and drawdown zones, and that succession does not take place leading to them becoming over vegetated and subsequently dry out. 38. The habitats to the east and west of the reserve will consist of the same grassland meadow habitats but will not be cut during the wintering months.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey These areas will have public access, although this will be kept to informal paths, there will be areas of woodland/scrub/shrub features added to the west side of Oxleys Coppice, that will create foraging resources, and although these areas are likely to be used by the public, there is still potential for the habitats to be utilised by species previously recorded to the east of Peak Lane. 39. The substantial betterment of the habitats to the west of Peak Lane, will create features that are currently absent from the Site and immediate area. It would provide refuge, loafing and foraging opportunities for wader species. These measures will increase the likelihood of bird species that are qualifying features of the SPA to visit the Site. 40. This habitat creation and management of GI, and specifically the reserve will form a better supporting habitat than those that are currently present, thus ensuring that there is no likely significant effect on the SPA/Ramsar from loss of supporting habitats. 41.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Operational Impacts Hydrological Effects – The Flood Risk Assessment details the specific measures to ensure that there are no significant effects on the Solent Ramsar/SPA.61 The SUDS would provide the mechanism for which surface water can be stored and treated, then discharged with improved water quality. The assessment has identified ditches and SUDs to the west and east of Peak Lane to function as appropriate receptors for storm water discharge, where pre-existing ‘greenfield’ rates of run-off will be retained. 42. The impermeable surfaces will collect pollutants from a range of sources including clean activities, wear from car tyres, vehicle oil and exhaust leaks and general atmospheric deposition. The SuDS treatment train uses a sequence of SuDS facilities, to allow run-off to pass through several different SuDS before reaching the receiving watercourse or water bodies. This would provide a significant benefit by the passive removal of pollutants from run-off. 43. Areas such as car parks, roadways and garaging will have concrete or 61 CD2.8 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 126

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 bituminous hard paving to avoid leaching into the ground. All the above measures taken together, will ensure that there is no likely significant effect with regards to hydrology during occupation. 44. Recreational Disturbance - The creation of a large network of GI through the entire Site will include the provision of approximately 45ha of GI (excluding sports hub & allotments), with approximately 22.84ha of this occurring to the west of Peak Lane (including bird reserve). The majority of the GI to the east of Peak Lane will consist of more formal recreational GI with areas of play and sports pitches. These would be broken up with pockets of ecologically favourable habitats. There would be a c2.5km circular walk around the Site, with various opportunities to provide exercise for dogs off lead which is a fundamental requirement to ensure that residents use the Site rather than drive to the SPA. There would also be a number of focal features, including open waterbodies with viewing areas and paths that lead away from the urban area, this includes many features associated with a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) which has specific guidance on the design of GI for mitigation. 45.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The GI provides approximately 16.56ha per 1000 population. When the 10ha proposed bird reserve is deducted from the land available for recreation, the total available area is approximately 35.72ha or 12.94ha per 1000 population. This compares to the 8ha per 1000 population required under the SANG guidance. On this basis the Site is over-providing relative to the SANG guidance by 4.94ha per 1000 population. 46. The over provision of GI and implementation of quality recreational opportunities will benefit the residents of the development, and those outside it. The design ensures that there are routes designed with a number of open spaces to facilitate off lead dog exercise, which optimises the GI value and reduces any reliance for regular visits to exercise dogs at the SPAs, which are more sensitive to dog disturbance. 47. The latest research by Footprint Ecology (2022) found that 61% of visitors to the SPA were dog walkers. The quantum and the quality of the GI proposed, including the specific measures for dog walkers, considerably exceeds that which is required by both the Local Plan and the SANG guidance.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The size of the scheme allows for any effects on designated sites and supporting habitats to be mitigated within the red line boundary and would reduce the reliance on trips to the SPA/Ramsar from new and existing residents. 48. Natural England accepts that the proposed GI would address ‘alone’ recreational impacts on the SPA. It however contends that ‘residual’ visits to the SPA would result in an ‘in-combination impact’ since the experience of visiting the coast cannot be recreated elsewhere. It therefore seeks a full contribution towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Strategy, which it considers to be in line with the precautionary approach. 49. As is clear from the Local Plan Inspector’s Report and the wording of Policy HA55 g) the on-site GI is considered to be a reasonable alternative to the to recreation https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 127

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Report APP/A1720/W/24/3347627 on the New Forest and Solent SPAs. I note Natural England’s concerns regarding the in-combination impacts, however, the safeguarding of the integrity of the European Sites is Policy led, other developments within Fareham will need to provide similar measures or provide financial contributions to ensure that they comply with Policy NE4. Therefore, as any new development will need to meet these requirements, cumulative impacts will be avoided, and thus in-combination effects will not result. 50. In addition, the proposed open space would be located close to the existing urban areas of Fareham, and readily accessible by foot or cycle. Having regard to the quantum and quality of open space proposed it would be likely to attract visitors, including dog walkers from the surrounding areas of Fareham. Therefore, having regard to the intent of Policy HA55 g), together with the location and quality of the open space proposed, I conclude that there would be no likely significant effect on the Solent SPA sites due to recreational disturbance either alone, or in combination with other plans or projects. New Forest Sites 51.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey The Site falls within 11km of the New Forest, based on a straight-line assessment. Natural England raised concerns regarding recreational pressure on the New Forest European Sites. However, visiting the New Forest from the appeal site would involve travelling around Southampton Water which substantially extends the distance that residents would need to travel. The driving distance from the Site to the nearest edge of the New Forest via car, which is estimated to be the village of Ashurst, is approximately 35km, resulting in a round trip of 70 km. Consequently, residents of the appeal site are unlikely to regularly visit the New Forest for recreational purposes. 52. Evidence collected during the Footprint Ecology research of 2020, suggested that Fareham, Isle of Wight Gosport, and Winchester, be excluded from this Zone of Influence, due to the geographical separation. Due to the distance of the appeal site from the New Forest European Sites this pathway can be scoped out of the assessment. 53. Notwithstanding this, Natural England accepts that the on-site GI would divert some visits which would have been made to the New Forest European sites.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey However, it contends that due to the unique draw of the New Forest some residual visits would still occur. For this reason, it advises the contributions to the New Forest Park Authority should be made in line with Fareham’s Interim Strategy to address these impacts. 54.

Paragraph 27 of the Interim Mitigation Strategy states that:: “Where on-site recreation mitigation is not provided, a financial contribution will be sought towards the provision of new green spaces or the enhancement of existing green spaces including provision for their long-term maintenance and management costs”. Paragraph 30 further states: “This money would be collected on developments that were unable to provide on-site mitigation, via legal agreements or section 111 agreements.” 56. As set out above in relation to the Solent Area, the appeal Site would provide an extensive, high quality recreational area for future and existing residents. As such it accords with the interim approach. Should the Secretary of State disagree that this pathway should be scoped out, the mitigation provided by the GI would avoid any likely significant effect. This approach accords with Policy HA55 g) that considers the on-site GI to be a reasonable alternative to the recreational impacts on the New Forest SPA. 57.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey I conclude that there would be no likely significant effect on the New Forest European sites due to recreational disturbance either alone, or in combination with other plans or projects. HABITATS REGULATIONS ASSESSMENT CONCLUSION 58. As set out above a number of pathways in relation to the Solent Sites and the recreational impacts on the New Forest Sites have been screened out. 59. There is potential for likely significant effects during construction and operation on the Solent Sites. During construction the hydrological effects would be mitigated by the CEMP that would ensure that all precautionary measures are undertaken in relation to construction activities, including surface water run-off. The loss of habitat would be mitigated by the proposed bird reserve. During operation, the measures within the Flood Risk Assessment, including the SuDS processes would avoid contamination of the watercourses due to pollutants, including from cars and general atmospheric deposition. Natural England is satisfied with these measures. 60. The potential for adverse recreational activities on the Solent SPA sites would be mitigated by the on-site GI, as set out at Policy HA55 g) of the Local Plan.

South of Longfield Avenue , Fareham, PO14 1SE — Fareham Borough Council — Lesley Coffey Due to the distance of the appeal site from the New Forest the potential for recreational disturbance has been screened out, but in any event, any adverse recreational pressures would be mitigated by the GI on site. 61. Overall, I conclude the scheme would not have a likely significant effect on the integrity of the Solent European sites or the New Forest European sites. The conclusions above represent my assessment of the evidence presented to me, but did not represent an appropriate assessment as this is a matter for the Secretary of State to undertake as a competent authority. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Page 129
