Recommendations for approval Item Application Location site and description Page Ref Number number 1 R15/1689 Land 1km to the north west of Stretton under Fosse 3 Erection of two slurry stores 2 Reference number: R15/1689 Site address: Land 1km to the north west of Stretton under Fosse Description: Erection of two slurry stores Case Officer Name & Number: Jo Orton – 01788 533549 Introduction This application is being reported to Planning Committee in accordance with the Scheme of Delegation, as the application constitutes major development and has also been called in by Councillor Heather Timms. The Site and Surrounding Area The site is located within the open countryside to the north west of Stretton Under Fosse; the site is accessed by a farm track off Fosse Way. The land comprises of approximately 413 acres of land with a further 92 acres at Withybrook and operates as an arable crop growing business. There are currently no other farm buildings in situ within the application site with the slurry lagoon to be located on land which is currently a grassed field and adjoins a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are residential properties unrelated to the farm located approximately 320 metres to the east of the slurry lagoon along Fosse Way. Application Proposal This application seeks full planning permission for the construction of a lagoon for the storage of farm slurry on land at Fosse Way, Stretton Under Fosse. The slurry stores are to be built on a concrete base pad with a hard core turning area leading from the existing track to the stores. Each slurry store has a diameter of 34.13 metres with a base area of 915 metres squared and would have a volume of 5112 metres cubed creating a combined total of 1830 metres squared and 10224 metres cubed. A supporting document has been submitted with the application states that the accompanying topographical survey demonstrates that the height of the proposed tanks at 5.6 metres high would be 97 metres above sea level with the height of the road being 107.5 metres high. The existing terrain provided by the bank which is 103 metres and approximately half a metre higher than the top of the existing tank. Following consultation responses from Warwickshire County Council (Highways) and Rugby Borough Council (Environmental Health) additional information has been requested and received concerning odour potential and vehicular movements. There is no relevant planning history on this site. Technical Responses No objections have been received from: English Heritage Rugby Borough Council (Tree Officer) Environment Agency Warwickshire County Council (Ecology) 3 Rugby Borough Council (Environmental Health) Warwickshire County Council (Highways) Third Party Responses Stretton under Fosse Parish Council has commented on the proposal and have raised no objections subject to obtaining assurances regarding: The odour which tends to emanate from slurry storage The potential for the increase of heavy lorries passing through the village The risk of contamination to the local watercourse Only the content that the applicants say is going to be placed in the tanks will be there Vehicles servicing the site will use the Fosse Way for access and avoid passing through Stretton under Fosse village If possible tanks should be covered A site notice has been posted and no letters of representation have been received. Relevant Planning Policies and Guidance National Planning Policy Framework (2012) Section 3: Supporting a Prosperous Rural Economy Section 11: Conserving and Enhancing the Natural Environment Core Strategy (2011) Policy CS1: Development Strategy Policy CS16: Sustainable Design Saved Local Plan Policies (2011) Policy E6: Biodiversity Determining Considerations The main considerations in respect of this application are the principle of development, the impact on the character and appearance of the countryside, the environment and biodiversity and the amenities of neighbouring residential properties. Principle of Development Policy CS1 of the Core Strategy states that development must comply with the settlement hierarchy and that it must be demonstrated that the most sustainable locations are considered ahead of those further down the hierarchy. As the application site is located with the open countryside it is therefore considered the most unsuitable location for development and only where national policy on countryside locations allows will development be permitted. The NPPF states within Policy 3 that policies should support economic growth in rural areas through promoting the development and diversification of agricultural and other land-based rural businesses. 4 The proposed slurry lagoons are required in connection with the agricultural operations of the farm and to allow the business to move away from artificial fertilisers onto organic based liquid material. The proposed tanks are required so that the material can be brought to the site in a couple tanker fills a day and stored before spreading the material. Having the store allows for the spreading of manure to be delivered over a short time frame of two weeks and the location of the store within the site will reduce the volume of traffic per day over the two week period. The proposed development is therefore important to the viability of the arable farm operations and could not reasonable be expected to be located within or adjacent to a settlement boundary. It is therefore considered that the application is in accordance with Policy CS1 of the Core Strategy and Section 3 of the NPPF. Impact on Character and Appearance of the Countryside Policy CS16 of the Core Strategy states that all development will only be allowed where proposals are of a scale, density and design that would not cause any material harm to the qualities character and amenity of the areas in which they are situated. Whilst the slurry stores are not located within the existing farm complex they are sited within the agricultural fields where the use will be required allowing for the slurry to be spread directly from the tanks. Whilst the slurry store will have a surface area of 10,210 cubic metres, the topography of the site will enable the stores to be obscured from public visibility. The position of the proposed tanks at 5.6 metres high would be 97 metres above sea level with the height of the road being 107.5 metres high.

  • The Draycote Benefice Parish Profile
    THE DRAYCOTE BENEFICE The Parishes of Birdingbury, Bourton and Draycote, Frankton And Stretton on Dunsmore with Princethorpe PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 20 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION The Draycote benefice is a good example of how a rural, multi-parish benefice can thrive during an interregnum! They have built on good foundations and developed some excellent lay-led initiatives across the benefice which are already bearing good fruit. They are looking for a leadership style which seeks to train and empower them further. They have a heart for the gospel in a rural context and want to be missional, which is hugely encouraging. Indeed, they are not just planning to reach out to their communities in the future, they have already begun a number of missional activities and events. I have been impressed by the lay leadership I have seen in the Draycote group. The wardens and different parish churches work well together. They have tried hard to make this role do-able, and I believe it will be enjoyable and stimulating working with them. They are genuinely open to trying new things. The only significant contention I have picked up is about the location of the vicarage, which has now been approved by all the PCCs. Undoubtedly, finding a suitable vicarage within the benefice has been difficult. A suitable property has been found in a nearby village, but the time taken to purchase and refurbish this has resulted in a longer vacancy than they had originally anticipated, so there is now a feeling of becoming tired without dedicated spiritual leadership.

    Morning Calm House Bourton Lane | Birdingbury | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 9QP MORNING CALM HOUSE “We first viewed Morning Calm House around 20 years ago and we were immediately impressed by the superb design across 3 split levels. We still think that it’s a completely unique, one off family home,” say the current owners. Morning Calm House is a superbly appointed detached residence, styled with a mock-Tudor appearance. The property is a complete one-off architect designed triple split-level home, built by the renowned builders “Parker Lake Homes”. Throughout the property careful consideration has been given to provide an individual home with the architect saying “He walked the land before designing this innovative property”. This provides well-proportioned five bed roomed accommodation which has been elegantly appointed throughout with Ash doors and woodwork, decorative coving, dado rails, integrated sound system by AMI and a central Beam vacuum system. From the arched Oak double front doors the scene is set for the first class standard found within. Ground Floor Opening the oak double doors into the reception hall you are immediately impressed by the galleried landing, Amtico tiled flooring, decorative coving and picture rails. From the hall all the main reception rooms are accessed. The main room to the ground floor is undoubtedly the superb hand built German kitchen, with its Granite worktops, bespoke cupboards, built in rangemaster by Britannia and high end appliances. The split level open plan leads to the breakfast room which also has French doors leading to its own private garden area.
