A PLANNING application for 43 new homes on land at Green Lane Farm in Badshot Lea has been refused by Waverley Borough Council on the grounds that insufficient information has been submitted, alongside the lack of a completed legal agreement.

The application was also turned down to due to its urbanising impact and harm to the landscape character.

The proposal, as a result of the number of homes, density, scale, layout and extent of hardstanding, would cause material harm to the intrinsic character, beauty and openness of the countryside beyond the Green Belt and the Farnham/Aldershot Strategic Gap due to its urbanising impact and harm to the landscape character.

The development of 43 new homes, including 17 affordable with associated parking and new access from Monkton Lane, supplied insufficient information to demonstrate that the proposal would not result in an adverse amenity impact to future residents by reason of odour from the nearby sewerage treatment works.

And according to Waverley, in absence of a completed legal agreement, the proposal would fail to secure contributions towards education, leisure, recycling containers and highway works, and would fail to mitigate the effects of the proposal upon infrastructure.
