Four Dells Farm, Otterbourne PDF 562 KB To consider a report from the Assistant Director of Waste, Planning and Environment regarding the processing and storage of wood waste and gypsum at Four Dells Farm, Poles Lane, Otterbourne SO21 2DY (No. 20/01546/HCS) (Site Ref: WR215). Additional documents: Minutes: Processing and
storage of wood waste and gypsum at Four Dells Farm, Poles Lane,
Otterbourne SO21 2DY (No. 20/01546/HCS)
(Site Ref: WR215)
The officer summarised the application and the
Committee was shown aerial photos of the site and surrounding road
network, as well as elevation photos from within the site. · It was unknown whether breaches had been formally reported · It was unknown whether the issues around dust, noise and light pollution were coming from the farm specifically, but they were originating from the Four Dells industrial unit. · No additional nitrates would be generated from the composting
During questions of the officers, the following points were clarified: · If operations ceased on site, then the site would return to Greenfield. · Work would not commence until all the relevant schemes had been submitted and approved following consultation. · The Environment Agency would monitor the amount of gypsum required and used on site. · Policy 29 did not apply in this instance as transportation was not required as part of the application. · An ecological study had been completed and the Hampshire Ecologist was happy with the proposals. · The Environmental Permit would cover drainage and water management.
In debate, Members agreed that the main issue was the use of agricultural land, as the composting proposed was only to be used by the farm, but on balance it was agreed that the benefits did outweigh the concerns.
