Decided by Basingstoke Development Control Committee on 8 Oct 2025.

25/00823/FULApproved

What was proposed

The application proposed one self-build dwelling with a detached garage, using an existing access and a new driveway and private garden.

“The application seeks planning permission for the erection of a self-build dwelling and detached garage.”

“Access would be obtained through an existing access serving 52 Pardown and two dwellings approved under 21/03304/FUL. A driveway would be created to the front and private garden to the rear.”

Officer report

The site and its history

The site is lawned garden land beside protected trees, with two approved dwellings under construction nearby and an earlier dwelling application refused in 1988.

“The site is accessed via an asphalt driveway along Pardown between nos. 50A and 54 Pardown serving access to 52 Pardown and the application site. A large oak tree (subject of a TPO) stands at this access point with Pardown. To the north of the site, two dwellings are under construction which were approved under 21/03304/FUL. The site itself is laid to lawn and open to north and west boundaries. A mature tree line sits to the eastern and southern…”

Officer report

What officers recommended

Officers recommended approval because the proposal would provide housing and other benefits, while identified effects were not considered to outweigh those benefits.

“In the absence of an up-to-date development plan, the proposed development would deliver housing which would contribute towards mitigating against the overall shortfall of supply as well as providing economic, social and environmental benefits.”

“The proposed development would not cause any adverse impacts on biodiversity and would provide biodiversity enhancements as such the proposal is considered to be in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), Policy EM4 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011-2029, Policy 10 of the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2029 and the Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018).”
