Appeal Decision Site Visit Made on 21 September 2020 Appeal Decision Site visit made on 21 September 2020 by Philip Lewis BA (Hons) MA MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 9 November 2020 Appeal Ref: APP/P2935/W/20/3248070 Land North of Lesbury, Alnwick Road, Lesbury, Northumberland Grid Ref Easting: 423588 Northing: 611921 • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant outline planning permission. • The appeal is made by Mr Guy Munden, Northumberland Estates against the decision of Northumberland County Council. • The application Ref 18/04527/OUT, dated 21 December 2018, was refused by notice dated 17 January 2020. • The development proposed was originally described as ‘Outline planning application for the development of approximately 41 dwellings including access, open space, SuDS and associated infrastructure with all matters reserved except for access’. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Procedural matters 2. The description of development in the heading above has been taken from the planning application form. However, in Part E of the appeal form it is stated that the description of development has not changed but nevertheless, a different wording has been entered. During the Council’s consideration of the application, the scheme was changed to include provision for 50% affordable housing. The Council dealt with the application on that basis and so shall I. 3. The application is in outline with all matters reserved except for access. An illustrative proposed site plan, proposed colour layout and landscape proposals plan were submitted. I have regard to these plans solely on an illustrative basis in respect of the reserved matters. 4. A signed and dated planning obligation under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (S106) has been provided as part of this appeal. It includes obligations relating to affordable housing, contributions to the Coastal Mitigation Scheme, and to health and education provision. 5. A neighbourhood plan is being prepared for the Lesbury Parish Neighbourhood Area, The Lesbury Neighbourhood Plan 2019 – 2036 (LNP). On 11 July 2020, Northumberland County Council issued a Regulation 18 Decision Statement in respect of the LNP. The statement says that the Council considers that the Plan, as modified, meets the basic conditions as set out in paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and that the Plan complies with provisions made by or under sections 38A and 38B of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, and that the Plan may proceed to https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Appeal Decision APP/P2935/W/20/3248070 referendum. The appellant was given the opportunity to comment on the implications of the Regulation 18 Decision Statement for their case and I have had regard to the comments received in determining the appeal. Main Issues 6. The Council refused the application for four reasons, including reason 4 which concerned the lack of a completed S106 Agreement to secure affordable housing and contributions to primary healthcare and ecological coastal mitigation. The Council has confirmed that the completion of the S106 Agreement has overcome this reason for refusal. From the remaining reasons for refusal and having regard to the comments of interested parties and the issuing of the Regulation 18 Statement by the Council, I have identified the following main issues for the appeal: • Whether the proposed dwellings would be in a suitable location having regard to policies for housing development in the countryside; • Whether granting planning permission would undermine the plan making process for the LNP; and • The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area with regard to the setting of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the landscape character of the area. Reasons Housing development in the countryside 7. The development plan consists of the saved policies of the Alnwick District Local Plan 1997 (ALP) and the Alnwick Core Strategy 2007 (CS). These Plans were each adopted a number of years before the publication of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) in 2012 and the subsequent amendments to the Framework. 8. Paragraph 213 of the Framework clearly sets out that existing policies should not be considered out-of-date simply because they were adopted or made prior to the publication of the Framework. Due weight should be given to them, according to their degree of consistency with the Framework, (the closer the policies in the plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given). 9. The CS sets the broad locational strategy for delivering housing and other development through the operation of a number of Policies. CS Policy S1 is concerned with the location and scale of new development. Together, Lesbury, Hipsburn, Bilton and Alnmouth are defined as a Sustainable Village Centre, where development will be well-related to the scale and function of the settlement. The appeal site is situated on the edge of Lesbury in an accessible location. I find no conflict with this policy, which is broadly consistent with the Framework. 10. CS Policy S2 sets a sequential approach to development, prioritising development of previously developed land and buildings in urban areas, with the development of other suitable sites adjoining sustainable village centres https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2 Appeal Decision APP/P2935/W/20/3248070 being the final priority category in the sequence. This policy reflected the approach taken in the former Regional Spatial Strategy for the North East and former national planning policy. I agree with the main parties that the sequential approach in relation to previously developed land as set out in CS Policy S2 is not consistent with current national planning policy as set out in the Framework. The Council did not find conflict with this policy nor provide evidence in that regard and I agree I should afford minimal weight to any conflict with this Policy due to its inconsistency with the Framework. Consequently, in the context of paragraph 213 of the Framework, I find CS Policy S2 to be out of date. CS Policy S3 sets out sustainability criteria, which should be met in granting planning permission. This Policy is broadly consistent with the Framework. 11. The appeal site consists largely of agricultural land adjoining, but outside of the built-up area of Lesbury. Whilst the site adjoins a designated sustainable village centre, it is nevertheless in the countryside and CS Policy S14 is relevant. CS Policy S14 includes, amongst other things, that new development in the open countryside will only be permitted where the development is likely to be sustainable in the context of CS Policy S3 and where the development is essential to support farming and other countryside-based enterprise and activity, promote recreation and supports the retention of sustainable communities or supports the conservation and enhancement of the countryside. It also includes requirements for an applicant to demonstrate that they have carried out the sequential test in CS Policy S2, and concerning the development of the best and most versatile agricultural land. 12. The Council argues conflict with CS Policy S14 on the basis that the appeal scheme is not essential to support farming and other countryside-based enterprise and activity, and fails to support the conservation and enhancement of the countryside. I agree with the Council that the sequential test approach in CS Policy S14 is not supported by the Framework. Furthermore, the Policy is not consistent with national policy for rural housing as set out in paragraphs 77, 78 and 79 of the Framework in that the exceptional circumstances set out for development in the open countryside by CS Policy S14 are more restrictive. I therefore consider it to be out of date. In the interests of consistency, I have sought the views of the main parties on a number of appeal decisions1 where CS Policy S14 was relevant. I have had regard to the comments made. 13. Whilst the appeal proposal does not conflict with the sustainability criteria set out in CS Policy S3, it nevertheless does not fall within one of the development types listed for the countryside in CS Policy S14. I have had regard to the appellants argument that the policy should be read flexibly and that the appeal scheme would support the retention of sustainable communities. However, CS Policy S1 and its explanatory text are clear that development in the countryside is generally limited to the reuse of existing buildings and otherwise new development should be resisted. There is also no demonstration that the sequential test set out in CS Policy S2 has been met, but as the Policy is out of date, I apply minimal weight to this conflict. I find no harm in respect of the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land as a result of the proposal. 1 APP/P2935/W/19/3244395, APP/P2935/W/19/3242847, APP/P2935/W/20/3246042 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3 Appeal Decision APP/P2935/W/20/3248070 14. I find that whilst the appeal proposal accords with CS Policies S1 and S3, it is in conflict with CS Policies S2 and S14. I shall return to the weight to be given to this conflict in undertaking the planning balance. Emerging policies 15. Although the Council has issued its Regulation 18 Decision Statement in respect of the emerging LNP, a referendum cannot be held until 6 May 2021 due to measures introduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic2. In accordance with Section 70(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) I have regard to the emerging LNP in so far as it is material to the appeal.

Many of the issues raised then are still relevant and, over the last two years, following from this, that a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Plan we have listened to the views of the people who live here today, by holding would be necessary. These assessments were required because there are a number community events, performing a housing needs survey and a questionnaire for of highly protected areas within Lesbury Parish, such as the Northumberland Shore young people SSSI, the Alnmouth Saltmarsh and Dunes SSSI and the Northumbria Coast RAMSAR (wetlands of international importance). Some of the key issues identified were concerns that any new development should be small in scale and complementary to the existing settlements; new housing This Submission Draft Plan incorporates a number of changes made to the Plan should be affordable for young people and for local people who want to live in the following the comments we received from statutory consultees, residents and other area; and new housing should be suitable for older people wanting to “downsize”.

  • Lesbury Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan
    LESBURY PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Appendix A: Non-designated Heritage Assets in the Plan Area Lesbury and how it sits within the North Northumberland Coastal Plain The coastal plain links Newcastle and more southern parts of Northumberland with Scotland as both the A1 and East Coast Main Line run through its length. The coast is of national and international nature conservation importance for its geology, coastal sand dune complexes, maritime cliffs and slopes, offshore islands and intertidal habitats (including mudflats, coastal salt marsh and eelgrass beds) which support internationally significant populations of birds and grey seals, nationally important invertebrate assemblages and scarce plants. The Parish of Lesbury sits close to the length of coastline which is therefore covered by Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Alnmouth Estuary, Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and RAMSAR designations. Twenty-five miles North along the A1, Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands are also designated as National Nature Reserves (NNRs). The sweeping sandy beaches, dunes and rocky headlands continue north into Scotland and south into the South East Northumberland Coastal Plain. The designated areas of the Northumbria Coast Special Protection Area (SPA) and RAMSAR site and North Northumberland Heritage Coast extend south into the South East Northumberland Coastal Plain. The history, geology, habitats and sheer beauty of the area make it a very important tourist and research destination. Three major rivers, the Tweed, Aln and Coquet, meander across the North Northumberland Coastal Plain to the sea; the Aln drains from Alnham in the Cheviot Fringe NCA, past Alnwick in the Northumberland Sandstone Hills NCA to the sea (through Lesbury) at Alnmouth.

  • Lesbury House V6
    Lesbury House (and some of its residents). The first formal recording concerning the property is that a local businessman, William Hay, in 1812 was leasing Lesbury House from the Duke of Northumberland. During the last years of the previous century William Hay, through a fortuitous marriage and a win, in todays terms, of £65000 in the ‘national lottery’, built up a series of businesses in Alnmouth. Twenty seven years earlier, in 1785 he had expanded his business empire by taking over, with the mill, ’a house with stables in Lesbury.’ We know that in 1791 William sold his house in Alnmouth and it is speculated that, by incorporating some of the existing building as a rear wing, he had Lesbury House built. Historic England in its current listing of the property describes the house, at this time. as being ‘built around 1800 and incorporating an earlier eighteenth century rear wing’. The building listed consisted of much of the property which we see today with a southern frontage of five bays and a centrally located front door. An 1812 site plan shows a ‘substantial house’ with an extension to the north and a range of smaller buildings adjoining its eastern side. Principal access was through the current drive. The plan also shows two contiguous ranges of buildings just to the north of the entrance where the cottages now stand. The uneven wall to the north of the property facing Main Street can be seen to be part of a further four of the original buildings (cottages or outbuildings). There was a secondary (or service) entrance to the house just to the west of these cottages.

BY JOHN V. GREGORY. In treating of the church-names of Northumberland and Durham, there is a difficulty which meets us in some of the remote districts, to which more southern counties are less subject, namely, that many of our churches had originally no dedication-names at all. Some remain un- named, and to others names have been given at a subsequent time, and we cannot always distinguish which are of modern origin. Mistakes, too, have been made through ignorance or neglect, so that the original ascrip- tion is sometimes doubtful. HOLY TRINITY. Dedications in this name are found in the Trinity House chapel in Newcastle, ancl in the Northumberland churches of Embleton, Bewick, Cambo, Widdrington, ancl Whitfield; but the three last mentioned are probably all examples of names besto\ved on rebuild- ing in modern times.

  • Northumberland Field Systems
    Northumberland Field Systems By R. A. BUTLIN HE AGRARIAN history of the county of Northumberland has been the subject of much speculative enquiry, yet its main outlines are still T unknown. Gray thought the county to be a "region which in regard to its settlement and field systems was transitional between Celtic and Midland areas."1 Uhlig, in his study of the landscape of north-eastern England, states that "the former use of permanent arable land in small, long strips, and its location on the naturally best drained fields close to the settlement, whilst the outer fields remained a Block-Flur with a field-grass system, show striking similarities not only to the Scottish run-rig system, but also to the Esch, the strip infield of the oldest nuclei of the North Western German villages.''2 The Orwins were satisfied that "in the Middle Ages the system (open-field) prevailed all over Northumberland, except in the moorland areas," ~ and Tate, in the preface to his study of Northumberland enclosures, says: "one would expect the county to fall into a group of transitional districts, whose agriculture shows traces of Celtic 'run-rig' and of the more pure Germanic open fields of the Midlands. ''4 It is perhaps unfortunate that none of these authors has chosen to make extensive use of the surveys and maps of the county which appeared during the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, for these, in many instances, give a detailed picture of the anatomy of the Northumberland field system, and confirm the suspicion, voiced by some of these authors, that the field systems of the county show marked affinities with both Scottish and Midland arrangements.

    Lesbury Conservation Area Character Appraisal Alnwick District Council Allerburn House Alnwick Northumberland NE66 1YY Telephone: 01665 510505 Contents Preface 1 1 Introduction 2 2 Historical Character 3 3 Architectural and Townscape Character 5 4 Management Recommendations 9 Boundary Changes 2006 10 Bibliography 12 Appendices: 1. Conservation Area Boundary and Listed Buildings. 2. Glossary Lesbury Conservation Area Appraisal Page 1 Preface Section 71 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 states that 'It shall be the duty of a Local Planning Authority from time to time to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their area which are conservation areas.' In fulfilment of this statutory obligation Alnwick District Council commissioned Robin Kent Architecture & Conservation, on 27 October 2004, to undertake conservation area character appraisals focusing on 8 of the Council's 10 conservation areas: Alnwick, Alnmouth, Eglingham, Felton, Glanton, Lesbury, Newton on the Moor and Whittingham. Conservation areas are built-up areas with special architectural or historic character, which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. When conservation areas were first introduced in 1967, designation carried no special restrictions. In 1974, the control of certain kinds of demolition and the protection of trees was introduced. In certain cases, Article 4 Directions may be made, restricting permitted development. The main aim of conservation areas is the preservation of buildings and the spaces between them, to suggest stability and continuity in a rapidly changing world. By preserving distinctive local character, conservation areas can improve the local economy, encourage tourism, attract grants and investment, raise property values, prevent un-neighbourly alterations and encourage traditional building trades.
