  • 26/W/00031 Granted

    Hunts Hill Farm, Normandy Common Lane, Normandy, Guildford, GU3 2AP

    This relates to the proposed residential conversion of an existing barn granted recent prior approval (ref 24/W/00019). This application is supported by the following: - HRA Assessment - Supplementary Report - Location Plan The enclosed documents confirm the following: - Although part of the Site lies within 400m of the SPA in straight-line terms, actual accessibility is significantly constrained and the walking distance to accessible SPA land is much greater, at around 1.2km. - The proposal therefore aligns more closely with sites in the 400m-7km zone. - No on-site habitats likely to be used by qualifying or non-qualifying species would be lost or affected. - There would be no habitat fragmentation between the site and the SPA. - Appropriate mitigation through SANG/SAMM contributions can ensure no adverse effect on the integrity of the SPA.
