Latest application re Glasshouse production, Tangmere Airfield

The Full Council has considered application TG/07/1408/FUL which is for increased glasshouse production at Tangmere Airfield. The Parish Council has made the following representation to CDC:

 

Oving Parish Council is surprised that it has not been formally consulted on a development of this magnitude which could have a detrimental impact on the parish without appropriate Planning Conditions. We have the following concerns:

  • 1. The proposed development would create significant additional light pollution. If the development is permitted, a Condition must be applied requiring the use of blinds to prevent artificial light escaping from the site. In addition, tree planting should be required inside the boundary of the site for screening and to supplement control of escaping light pollution.
     

  • 2. The public right of way across the site must be safeguarded.
     

  • 3. Access to and egress from the site must be strictly regulated to ensure inappropriate lanes are not used by large vehicles. In particular, the use of entrances on the west, south and east of the site should be prevented.
     

  • 4. We are concerned that the proposal may compromise the adjacent composting facility which has a valuable role in waste reduction policies. The application therefore needs to be considered against strategic planning policies.

  • 5. We are concerned about surface water flooding from the site. There is already a problem with excess surface water on the site and the proposal may lead to flooding onto adjacent land. There should be a Condition requiring a realistic proposal and timetable for dealing with surface water to be approved by the Environment Agency prior to any work commencing on site.
