Approved on 23 Sept 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 26 Sept 2026

Planning committee

Decided by Southampton Planning and Rights of Way Panel on 22 Sept 2026.

Approved

Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.

  • Officers advised refusal because the extension would be excessive, disproportionate and poorly designed.
  • The ward councillor supported the proposal, while officers said its scale and design remained harmful.
  • The Panel rejected refusal and resolved to grant permission with conditions, giving weight to accommodation for a disabled child.

Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Article 4 direction
HMO. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
SSSI 81 m away: Southampton Common SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Southampton built-up area; Air quality management area 99 m away: AQMA No.3 (Winchester Road).
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
