Planning committee

Decided by Portsmouth Planning Committee on 9 Sept 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers recommended approval because they considered the revised wall and access would preserve the conservation area and be acceptable for highways and neighbours.
  • Nine representations objected, citing conservation, highway, parking and neighbouring amenity concerns; deputations were made against and in favour.
  • The committee refused because the loss of enclosure from removing the front wall outweighed the benefit of an off-street parking space.

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.

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
