The proposed development of 160 residential dwellings, access from Old street, landscaping, open space and associated works has been refused.
The relevant parts of the development plan comprise the Local Plan Part 1: Fareham Borough Core Strategy (LPP1) (2011) and the Local Plan Part 2: Development Sites and Policies (LPP2) (2015). The appeal site is outside the settlement boundary of Stubbington and within the strategic gap. It lies within the countryside for planning policy purposes. Policy CS14 in LPP1 and policy DSP6 in LPP2 apply strict controls to new development in such areas. There is no dispute that the appeal proposal would conflict with these policies. Policy CS22 concerns development in strategic gaps and the parties do not agree whether it would be offended.
