96. Mayor’s Announcements The following announcement was made Due to the current COVID19 restrictions forbidding the organisation of events that encourage mass gatherings, the marking of both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday this year will be significantly different to usual. Specifically, it is looking increasingly unlikely that there will be any organised gathering at the War Memorial to mark the 2 minutes of silence or lay wreathes. There is ongoing discussion between the council Officers, the churches and the Royal British Legio n to arrange a Service of Remembrance that is both fitting and COVID safe. Further d etails will be announced when available.”
97. Apologies For Absence Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Dietrich and Knight
98. Declarations of Interests The following declarations of interest were made: Cllr Haslett declared a personal interest in Agenda No 13 Parking Restrictions New Street, Cullompton as lives in New Street

Cllr Haslett declared a personal interest in Agenda No 16 First Notification for the Removal of Payphone Service as lives in New Street which is close to the phone kiosk and has used it in the past
99. Public Participation This agenda item enables members of the public to raise matters which are relevant to Cullompton. Speaker 1- 1. The Speaker made a suggestion that the housekeeping message is displayed on-screen at the start of the meeting 2. Regarding the publication of Councillor phone numbers - why does the Town Council hide phone numbers, the public have a right to speak to their elected representative. 3. Not only should apologies be given at the start of the meeting but the reasons for the apology should be given and approved The Chair responded that the information provided at the start of a meeting would also need to be read out even if it was displayed on a screen at the start of the meeting because not everyone present at the meeting is using a screen The Town Clerk explained that the reason for an apology does not need to be recorded, tegh legislation requires that if it is going to be a long-term or persistent absence then the prior approval of Council is required before the absence reaches six months, if such approval is not given and the Councillor does not attend a meeting for six months then the Councillor automatically loses their seat; it is therefore not a legal requirement nor necessary to record the reason for an apology on every occasion, but if there is going to be a long term absence then an agenda item to approve the reason for absence stops the Councillor falling foul of the six month rule. Cllr Buczkowski responded that he thought it may be useful if people in the waiting room could see the housekeeping information; He also thought it would be useful to clarify the position regarding apologies as when he was chairing a meeting it was his practice to vote to accept the reason and there should be a consistent approach across the Council to avoid any confusion. The Town Clerk cited the relevant legislation regarding apologies as the Local Government Act 1972 S85 which refers to persistent absence.
Speaker 2 1. There is an item on the agenda regarding Casual vacancies, in the past there has been an issue regarding voting – how will that be dealt with? 2. Agenda No 11 list of payments, there are a lot of invoices for Labdons but it doesn’t say which projects the items are for 3. Agenda No 18, No 19 High Street, Martin Smith should have declared an interest as he is part of the Town Team Cllr Buczkowski responded that the Policy Review Working Group is working on a co-options policy based upon advice from the Monitoring Officer and national best practice which it is hoped will be in place before there are any co-options vote and that policy includes voting procedures; there has been confusion about voting for co-options in the past and that should all be addressed by having an agreed policy. Payments will be addressed when get to agenda item

Cullompton Cricket Club and the Town Centre relief road
1.1 Cullompton Cricket Club was established in 1892, although it is thought that fixtures had been played well before that date. The Club has owned its current ground and clubhouse at Landspeed Meadow since the 1960s.
1.2 The ground lies on the proposed alignment of the Cullompton town centre relief road. A planning application for the relief road was submitted by Devon County Council (DCC) in June 2020 (ref: 20/00876/MFUL).
1.3 The relief road planning application does not fully accord with the Development Plan or the NPPF as it would involve the loss of a sporting facility (the Cricket Club) which is not surplus to requirements, and for which no replacement site can been identified. The planning application for the relief road and this planning application for the relocation of the Club are therefore linked.
1.4 The relief road application identifies that DCC will provide a compensation package for the establishment of a replacement cricket facility for CCC. However, that package requires a replacement site. The package offered by DCC will enable like-or-like provision, but up to current ECB standards. However, the Clubs planning application would enable a better than like-for-like facility, if further funding can be secured.
1.5 The relief road application sets out a proposed implementation timetable. This would enable the Club to complete the 2022 season at Landspeed Meadow. It would then need to vacate its current site by the end of September 2023. In order for this to happen that Club will need to know that its new facility will be ready for play for the beginning of the 2023 season. Due to the lead in time for the establishment of a new playing surface, implementation works need to commence forthwith. There is a more time to finalize the details of the supporting infrastructure (e.g. the design of pavilion) description of development as set out in Section 3.
The Current Ground
1.6 The Club currently own an area of around 10,000sqm (1ha). This excludes a parking area to the rear of the club house, which is around 1,000sqm (0.1ha) owned by the Cullompton Community Association (CCA).
1.7 The current playing conditions and facilities are not up to current ECB standards. The current ground is characterized by short boundaries, particularly square of the wicket, with the mainline railway forming the eastern boundary. Play occasionally has to stop due to passing trains. Landspeed Meadow is also fluvial flood zone 3 and also suffers from surface
1 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C water ponding after heavy rain. Flooding can cause damage to the condition of the square, the outfield and the pavilion.
1.8 The pavilion itself comprises a single-story building of 310 sqm, including changing rooms, kitchen, bar, toilets and a hall that can hold up 150 people for functions.
1.9 The club currently runs a First XI and Second XI, both of whom participate in the Devon Cricket League on Saturdays , with both teams also participating in the Leagues T20 Cup Competitions. In 2020 the club launched a Third XI to accommodate player number growth
1.10 There is also Codgers" XI which undertakes friendly cricket matches against an array of surrounding teams. This is targeted at older players (over 50) but is also an ideal nursery for Colts (older juniors) as a taster to playing Adult Cricket , with matches undertaken throughout the week and on Sundays.
1.11 The Club offer comprehensive Junior Cricket programmed, which compliments its work with the local schools, with Teams at U10 , U11 and U13 playing in the East Devon Youth League. The Club also run an ECB Allstars programme for children aged between 5 and 8. 2020 would have seen the commencement of the ECB Dynamos programme which is for persons 8 and over capturing for progression through the junior ranks.
1.12 In 2019 CCC started a Ladies Section and in 2020 had it not been for Covid 19, the Ladies Team would have been participating in a formal softball league run by Devon Cricket.
1.13 The Club offers its facilities to Cullompton Community College for inter school cricket matches and hosts an array of development cricket squad training days for Devon Cricket (boys & girls) and have for the past 4 or so years hosted the East Devon Colts Finals.
1.14 With the housing development already seen at Cullompton numbers have grown steadily, but the lack of space and single ground (which is not big enough) means that the quantity of cricket being played is adversely impacting the playing surfaces quality as we cant rest the pitches for long enough between games. Physical pitch availability is now capped due to the number of games each respective team etc needs to play to be able to offer cricket in wider age groups at the Junior level. The one ground facility has also meant that the new Third XI were going to have to play at Plymtree Village playing fields (no electricity, running water) and very basic pitch machinery require the Club to take its current machinery to the ground to make it playable!
1.15 The implementation of planned housing development at Cullompton will mean that the demand for cricket will continue to grow. The justification for a two-ground facility to accommodate growth is needed both to provide the capacity already needed and to assist with the ongoing growth plans of the community.
2 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 1.16 Finally, the Club wants to be able to train both when its wet in the Summer and throughout the Winter months. This is critical to maintain the progress of player skills and competencies. There are no indoor facilities that have available booking capacity to accommodate the Clubs training needs which is seriously compromising the development of cricket in both Cullompton and th e wider County.
Relocation Requirements
1.17 Relocation brings with it the opportunity for the Club to significantly improve its facilities and for more cricket to be played, to the benefit of Cullompton, the wider area and the game.
1.18 The Club is outgrowing its current playing capacity and will continue to do so as Cullompton itself grows as set out in the Development Plan. It has therefore searched for a location that is capable of delivering two grounds. That strategy consequently requires a bigger, better pavilion, capable of hosting two games at once i.e. more changing facilities (mens and womens) and a bigger café/bar area.
1.19 As part of its relocation strategy the Club also require a high quality space for functions, meetings and events. The current clubhouse generates revenue for the upkeep of the Club, and that revenue must be protected and increased to upkeep a larger facility. The Club currently benefits from a walkable edge-of-town centre clubhouse and it needs to ensure that a necessarily more distant location still attracts people to it.
1.20 The Clubs proposals are supported Devon County Cricket Club. Established country cricket infrastructure across Devon is struggling to meet current ECB pavilion standards (disabled facilities, more and bigger changing rooms), and a new venue that delivered these standards to county level would welcome. The location of the proposed relocation site is considered to very good in terms of transport links (M5 corridor). Devon County Cricket Club extol importance of good viewing areas to encourage more spectators and participation.
1.21 In addition, Devon County Seniors operates five sides at over 50 (2), over 60 (2) and over 70 age groups. These teams participate in national competitions against other counties and also play a selection of friendly matches against visiting teams, In excess of 60 matches are played annually.
1.22 The over 60s 1 st XI captain advises that sourcing venues for home fixtures of a suitable standard and within proximity of the county border to reduce travel distances for the opposition is often challenging. The proposed relocation of Cullompton Cricket Club to a new purpose-built facility would be hugely beneficial as it is ideally situated. They strongly support and endorse the proposed move as the addition of a new contemporary facility will benefit Devon cricket as a whole.
3 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 1.23 The ECB are aware of the Clubs planning application and are supportive.
4 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 2. THE APPLICATION SITE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
2.1 A suitable and available relocation site has been identified to the east of Horn Road and south of Long Drag, some 3km north-east from the current ground. This site comprises an area of 9.1ha within larger agricultural field of 13ha, which, this year is being used to grow potatoes. The southern part of the western boundary of the site is currently open. On the north-west boundary of the site lies an irrigation reservoir, which takes water from a side channel of River Ken.
2.2 Section 6 of this statement sets out the reasoned justification for the selection of the relocation, the proposed positioning and orientation of the two grounds within it and the consequential relationship to an indicative layout for the pavilion, indoor school and parking.
2.3 The immediate context of the site can be described as relatively flat agricultural land. Development in the immediate areas consists of scattered houses and farmsteds. The Kingsford Rural Business Centre is around 500-600m the north-west area of. Approximately 800 to the south -west a quite a new agricultural storage barn has been recently been constructed (height to eaves 6.5m and height to ridge 8.8m). A prior notification application for another barn next to it was submitted on August 17 th 2020 (20/01301/PNAG) (height to eaves 7.5m and height to ridge 9.8m).
2.4 To the north -east, beyond Long Drag, and around 650m from the likely pavilion location is the Grade 1 listed Wood Barton Farmhouse. The edge of Kentibeasre is around 1.25km away, and the Church of St Mary 1.75km away.
2.5 There is no planning history for the site itself.
5 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 3. PRE-APPLICATION ADVICE AND CONSULTATION
Pre-application advice February 2020 3.1 A pre-application meeting was held on Thursday 13 th February 2020 to inform the LPA that a relocation site had been found and that a planning application would be forthcoming for a facility of two grounds. The LPA advised the Club that a location some distance away from the edge of Cullompton would need to be justified against the then emerging, and now adopted Policy DM23 [Community Facilities] (See Section 4).
Statement of Community Involvement August 2010 3.2 On August 11 th (09:00-18:00) the Club hosted a drop in information event to raise awareness of the forthcoming application. The event was advertised by way of a leaflet drop on August 6th to 400 addresses within Kensitbeare Parish. The Parish Council also hosted an item on the event on its website.
3.3 Some 16 people attended. Based on the responses received no changes have been made to the Clubs overall strategy in respect of the proposed relocation site or the master planning of it. The key issue arising was the placement of any form of development on land between Horn Road and Dead Lane on the context of previous parish Council comments on the Culm Garden Village Vision Document. Several attendees question why the site was not closer to Cullompton. Section 6 of this statement explains why the site is justified.

7 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 4. THE PROPOSALS
4.1 The description of development is:
Hybrid planning application.
Full application for the layout and earthworks for two cricket fields.
Outline application (all matters reserved) for a cricket pavilion of up to two storeys, an indoor cricket centre of up to two storeys, a scorers hut, a ground equipment store, outdoor cricket nets, parking and landscaping
4.2 The hybrid application area measures 9.1ha. Within this the full application area measures 4.6ha
4.3 The outline application areas measure 5.17ha. There is some overlap (0.67ha) between the full and outline application area due to the spatial extent for the earthworks that are needed to prepare the two cricket fields.
4.4 The proposed layout of the grounds and indicative layout of the other parts of the site has been designed by Sports Clubhouses and S&C Slatter who are specialists in the design and build provision of new sports facilities across the UK. During the design process, input has been sought from representatives of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The proposals conform to their requirements and they are supportive of the scheme.
4.5 Two grounds of County dimension are proposed, both hosting a square of 14 pitches. Each ground measures 142.7m x 125m boundary to boundary equating to 15,690 sqm. Thus, the playing surfaces alone require 3.13 hectares of land (7.7acres). Although the site is relatively flat, it will be necessary for the site to be reprofiled, as set out the submitted cut and fill and section drawings . The earthworks required to create the actual playing surfaces also relate to the land around them.
4.6 The proposed working area for the earthworks is 46,000 m 2 with a balanced cut and fill volume of 4,250 m3 (so 4,250 m 3 of cut and 4,250 m 3 of fill). Proposed gradients are 1.00% along the line of play and 1.00% across the line of play which is consistent with ECB guidelines for cricket squares and outfields. The cricket squares will be constructed on the same plane as the outfield but raised by approx. 25 mm compared to the surrounding outfield areas. The proposed levels have also been designed to tie-in with the car park, buildings
4.7 The suite of application plans shows an indicative yet probable layout and landscape strategy for the pavilion, indoor school and car parking. The placement of the pavilion flows
8 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C from the proposed fixed location of the two grounds and enable to overlook each playing area. Section 6 provides more information on the proposed layout of the two grounds , the justification for this, and the knock-on effects for the master planning of the rest of the site
4.8 Outline approval is sought for a pavilion up to 1,150 sqm and up to 2-storeys (c. 700sqm GIA footprint) comprising changing rooms storage areas, a kitchen, café bar with a ground floor terrace, a function room and a viewing terrace.
4.9 Outline approval is also sought for indoor cricket centre of up to 2-storeys and 900 sqm (c. GIA 450 sqm footprint).
4.10 As part of the overall facility set of four lane all weather practice nets, a small storage building (for ground maintenance plant and materials) and a scorers hut complete the features for which outline approval is sought. These are shown to the east of the site in the illustrative drawings, but his location is not fixed.
4.11 The precise height of a pavilion and indoor cricket centre of up to 2-stroeys will depend on the roof type (flat or pitched) and the degree to which the structures are sub-terranean, with detailed design being a reserved matter.
4.12 The central core of a two-story flat roofed pavilion, with lower flanks either side, would likely have maximum height of around 7.3metres, whereas a pitched roof would be around 8.8m. Single story flanks would have a maximum height of around 6m (pitched) or 3.5mm (flat) A two storey indoor cricket centre would be partly sub-terranean with a maximum height of around 6.5m (flat roof) or 8.2m (pitched roof).
4.13 Means of access is also reserved. However, The Transport Statement includes a feasibility drawing (A306-01) demonstrating that a suitable access from Horn Road is achievable. Construction accesses for the earthworks to prepare the two grounds are already available via existing field gates.
4.14 The indicative parking layout shows 103 core parking spaces with (including 6 disabled spaces and 6 electric charging point spaces) There are two dedicated coach spaces and an overspill area can accommodate a further 22 car parking spaces or 2/3 coaches. Provision is made for a covered cycle store.
4.15 Existing boundary hedgerows and hedgerow tress with be retained, aside from around 10m to achieve access as set out in feasibility drawing (A306-01). The access point is not fixed but A306-01 shows that access is feasible form Horn Road. An indicative planting scheme is proposed in the landscape and visual assessment (and standalone landscape masterplan) and reflected in the site layout, but the details are a reserved matter.
9 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 4.16 The only lighting proposed is standard security lighting on the pavilion and indoor cricket centre and some low-level bollard lighting the car parking area. Any further lighting will require a further planning application. The Club do not intend to light the grounds in to achieve day-night play.
4.17 The illustrative outline layout within the site results in a surplus are in the south west corner. Indicative testing layouts (not submitted) confirm that this area could accommodate a hockey pitch, 4no. tennis courts and petanque court. These additional facilities these are not being applied for in this application.
4.18 The current application, if permitted, will allow the first stage of the actual delivery of a replacement facility to begin i.e. the earthworks the replacement grounds. It will take 18 months to 2-years for a new ground to be playable. If permission is granted it will also allow the Club to prepare detailed designs for the pavilion and indoor school and parking to be prepared as part of a reserved matters process, alongside a detailed landscaping/planting scheme, access and other aspects.
10 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 5. PLANNNG POLICY AND MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS
THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Mid Devon Local Plan 2013-2033
5.1 A new Local Plan for the district, covering the period 2013-2033, was adopted in July 2020. The Clubs assessment of the key in-principle policies is as follows.
Policy DM22 [Tourism and Leisure Development]
5.2 The title of DM22 gives the appearance that it might be relevant. Although a cricket facility could be described as a leisure use, it is clear from the supporting text to DM22 that this policy is not designed to sports facilities, but leisure and visitor facilities that come under the umbrella of tourism e.g. Diggerland. Thus, the focus of DM22 is on leisure attractions. Consequently, the Club does not regard this policy as applicable to its proposals.
Policy DM23 [Community Facilities]
5.3 Policy DM23 is relevant and is formed of two parts. Part 1 (of which there are two sentences) relates to proposals for new community facilities and Part 2 relates to the loss of existing community facilities. Part 1 is relevant to this application and covers new recreational land or buildings by virtue of the explanation and broad definition of community facilities in paragraph 4.70 of the supporting text."
5.4 The first sentence of Part 1 of DM23 states that:
The development of new community facilities providing a local community benefit or environmental enhancement will be permitted where they are easily accessible by the local community and well-related to a settlement.
5.5 Section 6 of this planning statement addresses the locational matters that this raise for the Clubs proposals.
5.6 The second sentence of part 1 of DM23 states that:
Proposals for the redevelopment of existing community facilities that enables them to modernise, remain viable and continue to be retained for the benefit of the community will be supported.
5.7 The proposals are for the redevelopment of the Club, and this will enable its modernization and retention for the benefit of the community. In this case, redevelopment will not be in- situ, for the reasons set out in Section 1, but the location of the Clubs proposals do not remove the in-principle support for modernisation and retention of them in Policy DM23.
11 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 DM24 [Protection of Local Green Space and recreational /land buildings] Supporting Paper C
5.8 The title of DM24 gives the impression that it should be relevant, but the supporting text reveals that it is not applicable to the Clubs application. Paragraph 7.73 advises that DM24 does not apply to sites allocated for an alternative use . The Clubs ground is allocated under Policy CU19 [Town Centre Relief Road], which is a site-allocation policy.
5.9 However, the LPA should still have regard to the spirit of Clause b of DM24 which (for qualifying sites) requires:
equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable location, prior to the commencement of the development .
5.10 Better provision is not a requirement of CU19 [Town Centre Relief Road], but proposals involving better provision must still be weighed in the planning balance. Moreover, as set out in paragraph 5.26, CU19 (although very recently adopted) is not compliant with paragraph 97 of the 2019 NPPF. The recently adopted Local Plan was examined against the 2012 NPPF.
CU19 [Town Centre Relief Road]
5.11 Clause (b) requires the provision of replacement open space and sporting facilities elsewhere in Cullompton if these are affected by the delivery of the town centre relief road. Paragraph 3.142 advises that should the final route impact loss of sports or open space, replacement provision will be need to be made available in a suitable location . The interplay of the supporting text with the policy wording marries suitable locatio n with elsewhere in Cullompton .
5.12 It is understandable why CU19 would seek the provision of replacement open space elsewhere in Cullompton. However, this does not deal with a situation where there is no suitable (including available) locations in or next to Cullompton. In such circumstances it cannot be the case that either no replacement space is to provided (or the relief road is not permitted) rather that a suitable (and available) location can be countenanced outside Cullompton. Post examination amendments tot eh Cullompton Neighbourhood Plan, as referred to below are relevant here.
5.13 Better provision is not specifically referred to in CU19 in the same way as in DM24. However, as set out in paragraph 5.21, in 2019 NPPF, replacement provision, in CU19 captures both equivalent or better provision.
Other Policies
12 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 5.14 There are of course other general policies in the Local Plan, covering such matters has heritage, landscape, and ecology and transport, that have a bearing on this application, but it is not considered necessary or useful to rehearse them in this section. The assessment of the effects of the proposals are set out in Section 6.
MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Emerging Cullompton Neighbourhood Plan (CNP)
5.15 The examiners report on the emerging CNP was published on July 1 st 2020 and Mid Devon Council has accepted the proposed modifications. The CNP will now proceed to a referendum, and will likely become part of the Development Plan in due course. Although the proposed site is in the parish of Kentisbeare the CNP is still relevant.
5.16 Policy WL01 [Existing Recreational Spaces]
Policy WL01 identifies the cricket clubs site as one of seven sites to be protected in accordance with the relevant policies in the Development Plan. This policy has been recommendation for modification to remove specific reference to other policies. The supporting text, as submitted refers to DM25, but the policy referred to DM26 (erroneously). Neither policy is applicable to this application but other policies of the adopted an emerging Mid Devon Local Plan are applicable. In due course WL02 of the CNP, as set out below, will likely be part of the Development Plan too.
Policy WL02 [CCA Fields]
5.17 Policy WL02 [CCA Fields] is focused on the effect of the development of a town centre relief road on the Cullompton Community Association Fields. The CCA owns 32 acres of land but that ownership does not include the cricket clubs site. Paragraph 12.11 of the supporting text to WL02 makes this clear. Nonetheless WL02 seems apply to the all the land identified on Map 10 that accompanies WL02.
5.18 Clause (viii) requires that any relief road proposals should:
replace of any recreational space lost with equivalent or better elsewhere, to be vested in the community.
5.19 Clause (viii) as submitted for examination, was written elsewhere in Cullompton, but the examiner has modified the wording (at the request of MDDC) to meet the basic conditions.
5.20 The stipulation that replacement space must vested in the community is clearly not meant cover the circumstances of this application i.e. where the exiting site is in private ownership
13 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C and where the replacement site is not on the current the CAA fields. The vesting point relates to the circumstances of the football club but not the cricket club.
5.21 The CNP does directly capture the better thrust of DM24 in a way that CU19 does not. The theme of replacement provision permeates into the determination of this application even though the CNP will have no jurisdiction within Kentisebeare. The key point is that replacement provision is needed somewhere suitable and it that cant legitimately be within Cullompton Parish then it will have to be outside it. Policy WL02, as recommended for modification, does not equate suitable location within in Cullompton (parish)
5.22 Finally, the supporting text to WL02 notes that
The Cricket Club (established 1891) owns the freehold of its own site excluding the car park. The 1.01ha. site comprises a cricket pitch, a club house with changing facilities, a bar and function rooms, modern cricket practice nets, an artificial wicket and storage facilities for mowers and other equipment. The Cricket Club has indicated a desire to relocate. The Club has outgrown its current location and, recognising that a growth in population should lead to an increase in participants, it wishes to find space sufficient for two cricket pitches plus a club house and all the ancillary facilities a club of its stature needs. The England and Wales Cricket Board has advised that a site with a footprint of 4.85ha. is required to accommodate this size facility.
5.23 The Club agree with this text, and note that the relief road application is the immediate driver governing the timing of its relocation application. Usefully the CNP identifies the expert view of the ECB that a land area of around 5 hectares is needed. Where a site is bigger than this (due to field boundaries) there may of course be some wastage, or more scope for landscaping and other uses.
Policy WL04 [Outdoor sport facilities]
5.24 The CNP will has no jurisdiction outside the NP area and therefore it is not a directly relevant policy for the application site. Nevertheless, it provides qualified support for a range of facilities and pitches for the town (as opposed to within it), and identifies that Cullompton is a sporting community.
Draft East Cullompton Master Supplementary Planning Document (December 2018)
5.25 A masterplan SPD is a requirement of Policy CU7 of the adopted Mid Devon Local Plan. No applications are to be determined within East Cullompton allocation until the adoption of the final SPD. The Club as consequently had regard to the following as part of its assessment of shortlisted sits.
14 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C a) the issue of permitting a replacement cricket facility within East Cullompton, of around 5ha, in the context of this procedural stipulation that an SPD should first be adopted.
b) what the drat SPD identifies for areas within the East Cullompton Allocation that have been shortlisted (Locations 3, 4 and 5).
Culm Garden Village Vision Document
5.26 The Council backed proposals for a larger Garden Village are capable of being a material consideration although the weight that can be attributed to this is limited. In its assessment of shortlisted locations, the Club has had regard to the Culm Garden Village consultation document (December 2018) and the responses to it.
National Planning Policy Framework
5.27 Section 8 [Promoting heathy and safe communities] is particularly relevant to this application, especially paragraphs 92, 96 and 97.
5.28 Paragraph 96 states that Access to a network of high-quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and physical activity is important for the health and well-being of communities.
5.29 Paragraph 97 states that Existing open space, sports and recreational buildings and land, including playing fields, should not be built on unless , inter alia (b) the loss resulting from the proposed development would be replaced by equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable location ;
5.30 Therefore, the NPPF regards the relocation cricket club as opportunity for its quantitative and qualitative enhancement.
5.31 The NPPF contains various other relevant paragraphs which are not rehearsed here
Inspiring Generations (ECB) 5.32 Inspiring Generations is the game-wide five-year strategic plan to grow cricket in England and Wales from 2020-24. The enhancement of facilities is major part of this strategy and the growth of childrens and womens cricket.
15 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6. ASSESSMENT OF TECHNICAL MATTERS
6.1 This section sets out:
a) The justification for the chosen location for the proposals.
b) The justification for the proposed layout and form of the proposals (a Design and Access Statement)
c) An assessment of the environmental effects of the proposals, based on the submitted plans and technical reports.
The Justification for the location of the proposals
Site search considerations for a replacement ground
6.2 The Club have undertaken a process to identify and evaluate potential relocation sites with an area of search extending to around 3km around the current ground. This area captures all locations that could be potentially closer to the current ground than the applications site.
6.3 The locational factors that have been taken into account are:
Gradient
a) The baseline gradient of land and the consequent earthworks required to level it to ECB standards are a critical factor. The finished levels need to be equal to or less than 1% slope. Locations of over 4%% slope have been discounted early on the basis of the practicality/ extent of earthworks. Consequently, extensive areas arounds the town of Cullompton been discounted on account of the baseline topography. Appendix 1a demonstrates which areas can be shortlisted/discounted on account of the baseline gradient alone.
b) The gradient analysis was produced using QGIS, an industry standard desktop geographic information system application. A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) composite Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with an accuracy of 1m was utilized with a gradient analysis algorithm. LIDAR data has a root mean square error vertical accuracy of +/-15cm RMSE.
c) To sense check the 4% sieving judgement the LPA is invited to consider to the field (allocated as part of East Cullompton) immediately north of the ribbon development at Stonyford, and immediately east of the Week Farm employment land allocation. The wider, western part, of this field is more than 4% and this gradient, is in the Clubs assessment not suitable for shortlisting.
16 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C Site Size and Shape d) Small pockets of land under 4% gradient that are far too small have been discounted. e) The Club have assessed all locations that at least enable like for like replacement facilities (i.e. a single ground but up to ECB standards) and including sufficient peripheral land for safe hitting zone and for parking. f) However, the Club require a location that enables further expansion i.e. one that is capable of delivering two grounds and other cricket facilities e.g. indoor school. g) The Club have had also regard to the ability of potential locations to accommodate related sporting facilities in the future e.g. tennis courts and a hockey pitch. This is a secondary consideration and the primary driver of the assessment process is cricket.
Environmental Factors h) Flood risk the club require a location where outside flood zones 2 and 3. There is, unsurprisingly, a correlation between the flattest land around Cullompton and areas of flood risk associated with the Culm and Ken. These areas have been discounted i.e. not shortlisted i) Electrical transmission lines the club require a location that is not crossed by transmission lines, nor one where the ambience the location is affected by the nearby visual effects and the buzz of the lines. j) Noise the club require a location where play is not likely to be affected by intermittent noise of passing trains. It also has a preference for a ground where the ambience is not affected by the noise of the M5. k) Accessibility to the adopted highway - the club require a location that does not require a significant access road to make it suitable, due to the cost and deliverability implications. Accesses should not need to cross 3rd party land to reach the new facility. Potential future impacts on Duke Street overbridge are noted in respect of the access strategy for East Cullompton presented during the Local Plan examination process. l) Water Supply cricket grounds use a lot of water and thus opportunities to use sources other than mains supply have been noted.
17 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C m) Heritage, Landscape an Ecology the club has had regard to whether any otherwise locations present a conflict with environmental designations. The application site itself has been subject to site specific reports on the effects of the proposals.
Deliverability
n) Timing the Club has had regard to the likelihood that that potential relocation sites can be made operational in line with the timetable for delivering the relief road.
o) Land availability - the need for there to be a willing landowner is a critical factor. Earthworks will need to commence within months of this application be submitted so that the ground can be ready for play at a time to enable the all of the relief road to be constructed.
Planning policy , Corporate policy and parish boundaries
p) Regard has been had to any conflict with site specific policies in adopted Local Plan (i.e. East Cullompton) and emerging site-specific supplementary policy, including the draft East Cullompton Masterplan SPD.
q) The Culm Garden Village Vision Document (December 2018) represents corporate policy. This is capable capable of being a material consideration, but can be afforded limited weight.
r) The Club has noted whether each shortlisted location is in Cullompton, Halberton or Kentisbeare parish.
6.4 Appendix 1 to this Statement comprises:
1a Baseline Gradient Analysis Plans
1b A constraints plans that have informed a sieving process to identify shortlisted locations ( not this does not clearly show transmission lines or flood risk, but both factors are more clearly seen in Appendix 1c)
1c - An overview of the shortlisted locations, and by inference, the areas that have been discounted.
1d - Inset plans that provide a closer view of the locations assessed, and which also show the likely position of one or two grounds at each location. The dimensions of each ground shown are 130m x 130m (16,900sqm) compared to the proposed dimensions of 142.7m x 125m (17,837sm). For the purpose of illustrating a how grounds might be accommodated on each shortlisted location, this difference is immaterial. The illustrative ground dimensions reflect the playing surface of Exeter Cricket Club. The 18 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C club does not have the resources at its disposal to fully work up a layout for each location but has made of reasonable assessment of the probable arrangement of each location.
1e - A summary assessment matrix for the shortlisted locations based on the following paragraphs , which set out the key points/discussion emerging from the assessment of each location.
6.5 On occasion the ECB guidance document on pavilions and clubhouses (TS5) is referred in respect of the potential layout of each location. The key guidance in TS5 is set out form paragraph 6.92 in the subsection of Section 6 that justifies the layout for the application site. Some of that guidance e.g. not placing a pavilion in the NE corner of the ground has a bearing on the assessment of shortlisted other locations. For example, some shortlisted locations, due to their characteristics (size and shape), could only accommodate the pavilion in a sub-optimal location.
Locational Assessments
Location 1: Five Bridges
6.6 Five Bridge is the only shortlisted location to the west of the M5, highlighting the difficulty in finding a relocation site in the environs of Cullompton itself. The site is in Halberton Parish.
6.7 Whilst the land falls away on all sides, there is something of a flat top. Location 1 comprises two area of land ownership; to the east, two fields (1a) form part of Merrimead Farm, and to the west a single larger field (1b) is part of Moostone Barton Farm.
6.8 No detailed testing layout has been prepared but either option seems capable of hosting two grounds in a reasonable configuration. The eastern option, if developed for two grounds, could not also deliver other sport pitches/courts in the future. Part of the land in the western area would be needed. The split ownership between east and west makes this less likely to be achievable, and thus a wholly 1b approach would be the only one that would offer the prospect for other facilities in the future.
6.9 For location 1a to host two cricket grounds the central east -west hedgerow would need to be removed, at least in part, to allow the pavilion to be positioned to overlook two grounds, resulting in ecological harm. Ideally the pavilion would sit between the two grounds on the western boundary, but existing built form tends to be more towards the B3181, involving a pavilion on the NE corner of the southern ground. Location 1b would not require internal hedgerow removal.
19 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.10 A key weakness of this location, as a whole, is that access is very poor with the lane to Supporting Paper C Brithem Bottom very particularly narrow. The narrowness of the lane makes access to both sub-locations awkward (for cars let alone coaches). Location 1b has little frontage to enable forward visibility splays Significant hedgerow would be need for visibility splays for both locations, which may assist in widening part of the lane in respect of 1a. Not all of the lane could be widened i.e. issues would remain closer the junction.
6.11 Neither area is known to be available to relocate the Club.
Location 2: North West of Long Moor
6.12 In some respects this a good site for the relocation of the club, being relatively flat, accessible and big enough to enable two grounds and additional sports facilities. This location is also one of nearest to the settlement limit of Cullompton (inclusive of the Kingsmill Lane Employment land zone). The location is big enough that the presence of electrical transmission lines to the west, although not ideal, is not a severely limiting factor. Nevertheless, the Club want to avoid any visual blight in the vicinity of the new facility.
6.13 A site inspection visit identified that ambience of this location was affected by the constant background noise of the M5, which (although acceptable in planning terms) is not preferable to the Club where quieter options exist.
6.14 Crucially, there is no willing landowner at this time. Due to the exploration of Culm Garden Village many landowners in the area would prefer, at this stage, to promote their land for residential development through a process of plan review. That the land is on the edge of Culm Garden village suggests that a cricket facility would not unintentionally harm its optimal master planning. Whilst the LPA can give limited weight to Culm Garden Village (beyond the East Cullompton allocation) the landowner can give as much weight as it likes to its prospects and how it affects his decision-making in respect of land availability for different uses.
6.15 The arrangement of the grounds in relation to the pavilions sub-optimal. As explained in Section 6 ECB guidance advises on this relationship, the acceptable orientation of the pitches and that it is best to avoid pavilions that would be behind the bowlers arm.
6.16 This location is the only shortlisted location that is covered by an ecological designation, in the form of grazing marsh associated with the Culm (a priority habitat). The Club have not assessed whether this allocation is justified through a survey, but it forms part of the proposals map associated with the recently adopted Local Plan.
Location 3: South of Greenhouse Gardens / Gerbera Way.
20 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.17 Location 3 is the only shortlisted location that actually adjoins the settlement limit for Supporting Paper C Cullompton (at Stonyford), and it is the closest (as the crow flies) to the current ground.
6.18 The site is not quite big enough accommodate two 130mx130m grounds. The inset plan for this location demonstrates that is could, accommodate one smaller ground and other facilities, or two smaller grounds. Achieving sufficient parking may also be difficult to achieve, even with smaller grounds.
6.19 The site is located within the East Cullompton allocation of the Local Plan and a key requirement of Policy CU7 that a masterplan SPD is adopted before planning applications are determined. The final version of the masterplan SPD has not been adopted or published for consultation. Figure 15 of the draft SPD (December 2018) identifies this area as a development parcel and as part of a mixed-use employment area. Figure 15 also shows strategic highway links running through part of this location. While the relief road application may cause a new M5 crossing to drop to the south, it cannot be said with certain where a J28A might be located nor its geometry. The use of the site for recreational open space would conflict with process of stipulated by the Local Plan (SPD before planning applications) and the content of the emerging SPD itself.
6.20 Vehicular access could in theory be achieved via Culm Lea, although no junction capacity testing with the Honiton Road has been undertaken confirm this. The existing residential access to East Culme House is substandard, and cannot be widened without third party land. Greenhouse Gardens would become the only access route.
6.21 There is scope for noise and disturbance to residents living on Greenhouse Gardens due to construction traffic and once the facility would be operational. It is not clear that this residential street is suitable for the peak flows that a Club with 100 parking spaces would generate.
6.22 It is highly probable that netting would be required along part of the northern boundary to avert ball strikes on houses.
6.23 The land is not available to the Club as the landowner benefits from allocated land, with an emerging SPD identifying this area for higher value uses.
Location 4: North of Honiton Road and East of the 440KV transmission lines
6.24 This site is big enough to one ground, but not two. It is relatively accessible term of its distance from the Honiton Road, but crucially there is an intervening land ownership, and thus 3 rd party land would need to be acquired. This creates a significant deliverability hurdle.
21 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.25 The land is within the East Cullompton allocation of the Local Plan. Policy CU7 stipulates that a masterplan SPD is adopted before planning applications are determined. The final version of the masterplan SPD has not been adopted or published for consultation.
6.26 Figure 15 of the draft SPD (December 2018) identifies this area as a development parcel, and identifies the potential need for a primary highway link running in a north-south direction to the east of the 440KV transmission lines. There is therefore scope for conflict between the early grant of planning permission for cricket ground in this location and the optimal strategic master planning of East Cullompton. Although not identified in Figure 15, there is also scope for a further east-west highway link to be needed through this area. This cannot be ruled out at this stage.
6.27 This location is not available for a cricket ground. Due to the draft SPD identifying its probable use for residential development, a higher value land use can be secured by the landowner in the short to medium term.
Location 5: North of Honiton Road
6.28 This location could host the full range of facilities in a location where access can be achieved directly from the Honiton Road. An ideal arrangement of uses could be achieved as on the application site.
6.29 The land is within the East Cullompton allocation of the Local Plan. Policy CU7 stipulates that a masterplan SPD is adopted before planning applications are determined. The final version of the masterplan SPD has not been adopted or published for consultation.
6.30 This area fromscore of what will likely be one of the early delivery phases of the East Cullompton allocation, and sits on the main access point. Location 5 is also the potential location for primary school and the local centre, as identified in the Draft SPD. The location of a cricket club here would undoubtedly negatively affect the optimal masterplan for the East Cullompton allocation.
6.31 The landowner, being a probably early phase of the East Cullompton allocation (by virtue of the need for a primary school to be operational early), is not making his land available for the cricket club.
Location 6: Land South & South East of Aller Barton Farm
6.32 This is an extensive flat area and has been divided up into three sub-areas (6a, 6b and 6c) Any sub-area could accommodate two grounds and other sporting facilities, most probably in a reasonable configuration.
22 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.33 Aller Barton Farm is accessed from a small junction with the Honiton Road and the initial stretch of trackway is narrow with no passing places, and with land either side in separate ownerships. Beyond this, access is currently through and around the farm yard. Accessibility is a key reason why this area has been rejected.
6.34 The land is not known to be available for the Clubs needs at this time. Due to the exploration of Culm Garden Village many landowners in the area would prefer, at this stage, to promote their land for higher value uses through process of plan review.
6.35 Although this land has no statutory planning status yet, there is a risk that a planning permission for a cricket facility in this area could negatively affect the optimal master planning of a wider Garden Village. Area 6 would be a key part of a wider Garden Village, if eventually allocated, and it cannot be said at this stage whether a cricket club could be placed within it in a way that would definitely not would interfere wi th its optimal master planning e.g. key road alignments or land hungry social infrastructure (schools).
Location 7: Upton
6.36 This area comprises fields that can be accessed from a minor, yet adequate road leading off Old Hill and the Duke Street overbridge. The area is the close, by actual travel time, to the current ground (Location 1 is nearer if you can fly over the M5).
6.37 Field 7a is affected by the alignment of 440KV transmission lines, and what is left is big enough for only one ground. Fields 7b and 7c is are in another ownership (the same ownership as location 6) and present large flexible areas that could the Clubs cricketing requirements, with 7c have more flexibly for other sporting facilities. Part of Field 7b floods, but it is assumed that parking could go in this area of the site here rather than the playing areas. The boundary of location 7b cuts through the middle of the field but could be further extended to the east if more land was required.
6.38 Evidence accompanying the Local Plan 2013-2033 shows that the delivery of the proposed junction 28A will lead to the demolition of the Duke Street overbridge to create new slip road, thereby requiring a much more circuitous route to arrive in this location (making it the most inaccessible) until such time as any road linking it more directly to the Honiton Road/East Cullompton allocation is delivered. Thus, whilst the location is very accessible in the immediate term and has the potential to be accessible, but less so, in the longer term, it is likely to be more remote in the years in between.
6.39 Critically, the land is not available for a cricket facility, for the same reason that Location 6 is not available.
Location 8: North of Honiton Road and West of Horn Road
23 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.40 This location, between 132KV transmission lines and Horn Road, is sub-divided into a smaller southern area (8a) and a bigger northern area (8b). Area 8a, due to its shape, is only big enough for a single ground, and so a two-ground concept would have to straddle the hedgerow ditch dividing area 8a from area 8b, and thus require its removal (ecological harm). It is therefore more likely that a complete facility in 8b would be pursued.
6.41 The land is not known to be available for the Clubs needs at this time. Due to the exploration of Culm Garden Village many landowners in the area would prefer, at this stage, to promote their land for higher value uses through a process of plan review.
6.42 Although this land has no statutory planning status, there is a risk that planning permission for a cricket facility in this area could negatively affect the optimal master planning of the Garden Village. It seems quite likely that a significant access road would need to be bisect area 8a and indeed area 8b. It would unwise to reduce the master planning options for areas 8a by placing a cricket facility within it. A minor access road into area 8b, cutting in from Horn Road before sweeping north through a gap in the hedgerow might be less problematic. Location 8 is in separate ownership to Location 9, and thus the later would unlikely to be available for an access from the north.
Location 9: West of Horn Road (Central)
6.43 This is a similar location to Location 8, albeit less flexible given its shape and size and only the southern part has baseline gradient of less than 4% gradient. The inset plan shows that this location it cannot accommodate two 130m x 130m grounds and so a compromise would be needed (likely a pretty small second ground to the north of a larger southern main ground, involving more cut and fill cost).
6.44 Under a single ground scenario, there is scope to be able to accommodate the pavilion on the east of SE, but under a two ground scenario a pavilion (serving both grounds) would end up overlooking the NE corner of the bigger southern ground (the location that the ECB guidance in TS5 identifies should be avoided.
6.45 It seems possible to accommodate other facilities that the preferred location could host in the future (hockey, tennis and petanque).
6.46 A particular constraint affecting Location 9 is its very narrow site frontage with Horn Road, but access, with the requisite viability splays, seems just about achievable.
6.47 The land is in a different ownership to Location 8 but is not available to the cricket club, for the same reason that location 8 is not available.
Location 10 West of Horn Road (North)
24 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.48 Location 10 is formed of two fields. The inset location plan demonstrates that this location Supporting Paper C could accommodate a single ground and a reasonable layout for the relationship of the pavilion to that ground.
6.49 Accommodating two grounds at 130m x130m (as shown) would involve the removal of the central hedgerow and two hedgerow trees. The pavilion would be paced on the Horn Road side, and parking would be biased towards the road (and therefore present to the NE corner for the southern ground, which is to be avoided). It is not clear if the site is wide enough to accommodate sufficient parking for a two-ground scenario in a way that suitable relates well to the pavilion. Parking may be need to the south of the southern ground, reducing the scope for other pitches/courts.
6.50 It would be possible to host two grounds whilst reducing but not completely avoiding hedgerow removal. A smaller ground of 110m (N-S) by 130m (E-W) could be located in the southern field, with a larger ground in the northern field. Some internal hedgerow removal would still be needed (c.50-60m) to enable the pavilion to be located so that that it served both grounds (the NE corner issues would remain). In this scenario some parking would likely be needed to the north pf the northern ground.
6.51 Location 10 is in the same ownership as the preferred location. However, it is not available to the cricket club, as on the basis of the Culm Garden Village Vison Document (December 2018) the landowner considers that housing development is more likely to a t least be forthcoming (subject to plan review) to the west of Horn Road, than between Horn Road and Dead Lane.
Location 11: East of Horn Road (North) (THE APPLICATION SITE)
6.52 Location 11 is the application site.
6.53 It is flat, big enough, and the right shape (a reverse L) to enable two full size grounds in a way that enables them to ideally relate to the pavilion (See paragraph 6.94). The ground can be kept away from horn road thus avoiding risk of ball strike on users of the highway (low risk, but it happens). Surplus land with the field is also available accommodate other sports pitches/courts off Horn Road (pending and subject to a further planning application and funding at some point in the future)
6.54 The use of this location cricket facility will not disturb the master planning of East Cullompton ( as it its outside it) It does lie within on the in the periphery of the Culm Garden Village area of exploration. Its use as cricket facility is far less likely to curtail the optimum longer-term internal master planning of Culm Garden Village (road infrastructure and schools etc) should this proceed. The Club notes the Culm Garden Village Vision
25 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 document (December 2018) and the question-mark that is placed over the land between Supporting Paper C Horn Road and Dead Lane, and the consultation responses that were submitted. There were various views on whether this land should be left alone or put to a productive use (other than agriculture), and if so, what that productive use should be (housing or other).
6.55 One of the key attributes of this location is its immediate proximity to an irrigation reservoir (in the same ownership). Location 11 therefore benefits from the potential to draw on rainwater harvesting. The landowner has been agreed the reservoir can be used to water the ground. An extraction license will be needed for a use other than agriculture from the EA.
6.56 Critically, the landowner is making this land available to the Club.
6.57 Developing the land as a cricket facility will mean that it will never be housing development, thereby largely maintaining the openness of this land, aside for the pavilion and an ancillary structure. There would be a change in its character from agricultural to recreational. By implication the rest of the field to the east - would also remain open, as would land to the north (south of Long Moor)
6.58 The site is accessible from Horn Road and does not require third party land to achieve access In common with other all but one of the shortlisted locations it is to the east of the M5, and in common with these options, travel from within Cullompton is likely to be car based until such time as East Cullompton is developed and full extent of Culm Garden Village is (perhaps) confirmed with wider cycle and public transport services then being able to connect it to the current extent of town Cullompton. It is currently around a 4.5km, 16- minute cycle to the site from the High Street via Long Moor. The site is therefore without cycling distance (5km) of Cullompton and the route is pretty level and quiet (once one navigates the M5 junction). It is recognized that the junction could dissuade some from cycling, and also that cycling is a less practicable option when transporting cricket kit. However, some may choose to leave their kit in the bigger better pavilion that is proposed. The UK also seems to be on the cusp of legalizing forms of mircomobility transport on roads (e.g. electric scooters) which are ideal for c.5km distances for those not wishing to use pedal power. The Future of Transport Regulatory Review attests to this possibility (March, 2020).
6.59 The justification for the proposed layout of the proposals within location and the na ture of their environmental effects are set out later in this section.
Location 12: East of Horn Road (Central and South)
6.60 Location 12 is formed of 4 fields (12a-12d) that run south from the application site to the Honiton Road.
26 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.61 Locations 12a-c are in the same ownership as Location 11. Location 12d is in separate Supporting Paper C ownership.
6.62 Beginning with 12a and 12b, a single ground could be accommodated on either field (with 12a being slightly preferable), with a pavilion, parking and indoor school being placed in the W-NW of each field. The accommodation of two grounds, necessarily orientated East- West, becomes a bit of a squeeze and field 12a offers more room for parking, and an indoor school off Horn Road. In both cases the pavilion would need to be located in the middle of the field, which would mean it would be disassociated from parking and indoor school, and that it would on the NE corner of the western of the two western grounds (to be avoided according to TS5). Neither fields 12a or 12b could accommodate additional uses in the future within their boundaries, but the field that was not used for cricket could of course be used for such other uses.
6.63 In theory the hedgerow (including hedgerow trees) and between 12a and 12b could be removed, wholly or in part to enable an optimal layout (as achieved on Location 11), but that would of course entail a level of harm that can be avoided on the application site.
6.64 Field 12c, although quite big, is a single ground location by virtue of its shape. It would need to be combined with field 12b to enable two grounds. Even if the grounds themselves are placed each side of the intervening hedgerow, some hedgerow removal would still be needed to place the pavilion between the two grounds and to allow for hard-standing.
6.65 Neither location 12a, b, or c would benefit from the on-site potential for rain water harvesting that is available to the application site
6.66 Neither location 12 a, b or c is available to the Club with the landowner assessing that, if Culm Garden Village was to breach Horn Road, that housing is likely to be more acceptable in central and southern locations to the west of the irrigation ditch that crosses that the Horn Road /Dead Lane area. Further north and east the political sensitivity of housing development edging closer to Kentisbeare will increase (even if it were justified in planning terms).
6.67 Whilst the LPA give limited weight to Culm Garden Village (beyond the East Cullompton allocation, the landowner for location 12a, and c can give as much weight as it likes to its prospects and how it affects his decision-making in respect of land availability for different uses.
6.68 Location 12d, which is immediately north of the Honiton Road is in a separate ownership. Achieving a single ground and optimal layout is not an issue. Achieving two grounds is just about spatially achievable, but the boundary of the southern ground would be very close to
27 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 the Honiton Road, and a 6 hit between long on and long off would could onto the road. It is Supporting Paper C reasonable to assume that netting would be needed to protect users of the highway.
6.69 Rather like Location 2, there is some highway noise, and whilst not a planning issue this is a negative cricketing factor that the Club as taken into consideration
6.70 In a two-ground scenario the pavilion could be located optimally as for the application site, but due to the narrowness of the site, parking would like be located in the north (again to reduce the scope for ball strikes, this time on Horn Road). Essentially, this location seems able to host two grounds but less optimally than the application site, does not benefit from the potential of the reservoir, and there is not the surplus land for future uses.
6.71 As with locations 12a-c, location 12d is within the wider Culm Garden Village are of exploration, and in the question mark area previously referred to in the December 2018 Vision document, but limited weight van be afforded to the potential for East Cullompton to develop into a wider Culm Garden Village project, until a process of plan revie w is very far advanced.
6.72 Critically, the land is not known to be available for a cricket facility
Location 13: South of Aller Cross
6.73 Field 13 has been shortlisted as an option as it is within the search zone 3km, but strategically it is no better in access terms that the application site (in the context of Policy DM23).
6.74 The size and shape of the site is such that two ground could be accommodated in a reasonable albeit sub-optimal configuration. The northern ground could be served by a pavilion on the SW corner, but this would present due north of the southern ground. This is not ideal, but acceptable, and the NE corner of a ground could be avoided. 132 KV transmission lines cut across the southern corner of the wider field that location 13 forms a part of. The proximity of transmission lines is a factor weighting against this location from the Clubs perspective, although a cricket facility could still function here.
6.75 There would appear to be some scope to accommodate other pitches/courts in the north of this field.
6.76 Overall, it is not sequentially more suitable that the application site. Location 13 adjoins the Culm Garden Village are of exploration. The availability of this location to the Club is unconfirmed.
Location 14: Five Cross Way
28 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.77 The gradient and constraints mapping reveals a large are of flat land in the Five Cross Ways area. Further inspection then reveals that much of the area is crossed, and affected by 132 KV transmission lines. Further, the field boundaries are often quite small. The location is affected by the same medium-term accessibility issues as Location 7
6.78 Nonetheless, a shortlisted option present itself in the form of field 14a and this can comfortably accommodate one ground but not two grounds. To accommodate two grounds, has to use field 14b to the east (and accept hedgerow removal). Under this scenario the pavilion would have to go to the NE of the ground in field 14a. Further east, another field could be used could be used for other pitches/courts in the future.
6.79 Alternatively, a two-ground layout could use field 14c, to the south of 14a. The second ground would involve less hedgerow removal for the ground itself, but field trees would need to be cut down and a length of hedgerow (with trees) would need to be removed off Chaldon Lane to locate a pavilion that overlooked both grounds. The southern part of field 14c could be used for other pitches/courts.
6.80 This area does not haver the water abstraction potential of Location 11, and has nt been confirmed as b eing available to the Club
Conclusions on Locational Assessment
6.81 The evaluation process for the shortlisted locations can be summarized as follows.
6.82 There are no locations that adjoin the main part of Cullompton to the west of the M5 that people would walk to.
6.83 Location 1, is the only location to the west of the M5 (albeit in Halperton Parish). In absolute terms it is not well-related to Cullompton in terms of physically proximity or accessibility, but relative to other locations it is one of the better performing locations. However, it is not suitable or available. If this is accepted then then one must accept the need to relocate the Club to the east of the M5.
6.84 Most of the shortlisted locations to the east of the M5 are not well-related to Cullomptons settlement boundary (aside from at Stonyford and Kingsmill).
6.85 Locations 2 and 3 adjoin or are in close proximity to the settlement boundary, but they are neither suitable or available for the reasons set out. If this is accepted, one must then look to a location yet further to the east of the M5.
6.86 Locations 4 and 5 (as well as location 3) are within East Cullompton allocation (Policy CU7). Both of these locations have serious but different suitability/policy issues and neither is available to the Club
29 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.87 If this is accepted, then one must conclude that are no locations to the east of the M5, that adjoin or are near to the settlement boundary, or are allocated for development, that can accommodate the cricket clubs requirements, and that are available to the Club.
6.88 All the remaining locations (8-14) are more rural and thus not easily accessible [by walking and cycling] by the local community and well-related to a settlement (Policy DM23 ). However, Section 6 demonstrates that no such location for the relocation of the Club exists and thus, sequentially a more rural location can be justified.
6.89 Locations 6-7 and 8-12 form two distinct strategic groupings to the north and south of the Honiton Road and are all in the wider Garden Village area of exploration. Locations 13 and 14 can be described as outliers to the south-east. It is no strictly necessary to compare these locations against each other in terms of ease of accessibility as they are all, strategically rural/open countryside, although Upton (Location 7) offers a location that is perhaps the most cyclable in terms of distance in the short term. Section 6 has transparently evaluated all the rural shortlisted locations and justified why Location 11 has been selected. Land availability and deliverability is a factor that sets Location 11 above the other locations, but even if other land was available, Location 11 is justified based on the other assessment variables alone.
6.9 0 If Location 11 is not accepted then there is currently no alternative land for the Club to relocate to.
Justification for the layout and form of the proposals (Desgin and Access Statement)
6.91 The assessment of each short-listed location has touched in the arrangement/layout options that it offers, and any constraints. This sub-section now sets out the specific ECB guidance on layout of grounds and demonstrate that the Club proposals within Location 11 (the application site) adhere to these.
6.92 The ECBs Technical Note (TS5) on Pavilions and Clubhouses (2009) gives advice on what makes a good pavilion. This is not just about detailed design (internal and external) but also about its position relative the facility as a whole. TS5 advises that:
There are many aspects to a good pavilion but mainly it should serve the current and future needs of the club, players, officials and spectators of all ages, culture, ability and gender. It should also be attractive, high quality, efficient, economical to maintain and give value for money.
and that
Addressing issues such as design, site, orientation, composition, accommodation, size and arrangement of spaces, flexibility, sustainability, energy performance, materials, robustness,
30 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 security and costs will make the best use of available money and guide the project towards a Supporting Paper C successful outcome.
6.93 In respect of whole site planning, TS5 advises, that:
The individual circumstances of each project will influence the design. A logical approach to site analysis should be adopted when deciding the best location for a pavilion or clubhouse. Taking advantage of the natural elements and surroundings such as trees, gradients, views and orientation will help make the most of the site. The shape and contours of the land will affect the final location, as will proximity to services and main road access.
6.94 On pavilion locations, TS5 advises that:
Corner sites offer the most dynamic views for spectators and waiting batsmen, giving full context of the field and the best per spective for watching the bowlers delivery and batsmen striking the ball. The best one of these is the north-west corner as the area in front of the pavilion will be in the sun; parasols or awnings can be used to provide shade on hot days. The south-west and south-east corners also give great views of the game but any viewing terrace in front of a pavilion here will inevitably be in the shade of the building for part of the day. The view from the north-east corner of the pitch will be into the afternoon sun and should be avoided , but be mindful that tall buildings, hills and trees around site will affect where the sun sets.
6.95 And that:
Its not good practice to put the pavilion to the north or south of the pitch as this is directly behind the bowlers arm. Sight screens occupy the area parallel to the batting crease and are moved regularly depending on the wicket in use and the batsmans preference. As you might expect, these could obstruct the view. Other possible pavilion areas are to the east and west. These give a flat side view of the field of play so are less interesting to watch cricket from, but should not be discounted entirely.
6.96 On orientation on the pitches, TS5 states that this should
generally run north south wicket to wicket but the axis can vary from 325 degrees (west-of-north) to 55 degrees (east-of-north). The best common orientation with other sports is 345 degrees. 6.97 There is therefore an important relationship between acceptable orientation of the pitches and the acceptable location of the TS5 also refers to sun path and wind orientation. All the key guidance is all summarized in the diagram below.
31 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 ECB TS5 Pitch Orientation and Pavilion Location Considerations Supporting Paper C
6.98 The of the height of the pavilion above the ground and views is also a consideration. TS5 highlights advantage of an elevated view of play for spectators from social spaces within the pavilion is highlighted.
TS5 promote elevated views of the playing area
6.99 On parking and arrival TS5 states that:
The car park should be conveniently located while preventing glare from cars causing a nuisance to players and equally cars being damaged by stray cricket balls. It doesnt have to be adjacent to the road or clubhouse although there should be space for drop-off, deliveries and disabled users close to the building along with access for emergency services vehicles. If the car park is behind the bowlers arm then a suitable screen or fence will be required to minimise interruptions to play. Provide a suitable path with appropriate lighting if there is a short walk. The sequence of arrival from the road can add to the drama of the occasion a glimpse of the building or controlled views
32 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 from the road to a welcoming entrance. If signs are required, they should be clear, simple and Supporting Paper C logical. 6.100 On landscaping TS5 states that:
The soft and hard landscaping around the building can improve the quality of the setting and perform other functions like shelter from the wind. Plants can add texture and aroma that will give interest and delight. Sensitive landscaping with native species can enhance local biodiversity. Thoughtful selection of plants and carefully designed irrigation systems can dramatically reduce the need for watering. External surfaces in the vicinity of the building should be well drained and thoughtfully selected as light coloured paving can sometimes cause glare. Permeable surfaces will avoid problems with puddles, avoid the need for surface falls towards drains and reduce the storm-water surge in the surface water drainage system. Resin-bound gravel can be flexible enough to accommodate tree growth. Smooth surfaces are preferable for wheelchair users. 6.101 TS5 advises that all relevant site and club issues can be addressed, combined and distilled into one masterplan. Critically the guidance advises that the masterplan should always take the long-term view, with the intention being to capture the vision of the future (e.g. to avoiding spoilt future plans by building new nets or a car park in the perfect place for a second pitch.
6.102 TS5 contains an indicative masterplan for a two-ground location, that to a very high degree reflects Cullompton Cricket Clubs own proposals. Of particular note, given the two-ground masterplan is the concept of a corner pavilion giving dynamic views of play (phase 1) and a closely associated building for indoo r nets (for winter or wet weather training) (phase 2)
ECB TS5 Illustrative Layout for Two Grounds
33 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.103 TS5 go onto provide detailed guidance for the detailed design of the pavilion which will be taking into account at reserved matters stage. It is notable that page 25 of the guidance notes that its aim is to help create contemporary pavilions with modern concepts and materials while safeguarding the traditions of cricket and therefore securing a future for the game. Page 25 exbibits 3 representative structures and advises that
Modern materials and efficient building forms and structures create robust, efficient and beautiful buildings. The plans provide the same accommodation as traditional pavilions but in a more modern way. The simple elevations and materials make very attractive, contemporary club facilities.
6.104 As can be appreciated from the application plans, the layout of the proposed site fully accords with the ECBs technical guidance, whilst also leaving surplus land for future sports pitches/courts.
6.105 The two grounds occupy the eastern part the site and the application proposes to fix their location. The indicative layout for the rest of the facility naturally places the pavilion to the west in a location presents to both grounds. The proposed indoor school is situated close by to enable it to be linked. The car park is accessed from Horn Road and relates well to the proposed structures. The indicative arrangement of the parking area enables the surplus land to the south of is big enough for a hockey pitches, 4 tennis courts and a petanque area. On the extreme east outdoor cricket nets are shown, with a scorers hut and small maintenance shed. The position of these elements is not fixed and is flexible. There is plenty room around the edge of the facility to introduce structural planting as identified in the landscape and visual assessment (with the detail being reserved).
34 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C Proposed Site Layout from Landscape and Visual Assessment (ground locations fixed, other aspects indicative but probable)
6.106 The detailed design of the pavilion and indoor school and parking area is a reserved matter. The ECBs technical note, TS5 advises on all the detailed design consideration for a cricket pavilion, which will be taking into account at reserved matters stage. This includes the environmental sustainably of the buildings. Current building regulation will set the minimum standards to be achieved.
6.107 Where an assessment has been undertaken using BREEAM or an equivalent methodology, a demonstration that energy credits have been achieved can be used as further evidence that Regulation 25B has been met.
6.108 Section 1 of this Statement has given an indication of the level of floorspace for which approval being sought across the two key structures and the likely maximum height of those structure.
35 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.109 Appendix 2 of this statement presents a range of representative buildings/pavilions that Supporting Paper C convey something of the potential approaches to the key structures that could be taken (e.g. of no of storeys, roof types, materials, architecture). No one example ats as a template, but it is clear the outline approval can be given in the knowledge that a suitable detailed design response can be achieved.
Assessment of the effects of the proposals
6.110 To inform and evaluate the proposed layout standalone reports were instructed during July and August 2020, and the headlines form each are set out below. It will be understood that the only two key structures, and parking are proposed within a 9ha site and that the majority the land will remain open, but with an altered character.
Landscape and Visual (Clifton Emery)
6.111 The key findings of the Landscape and Visual Study are:
Direct views are afforded into the site as from Horn Road due to the relatively low height of the hedgerows and absence of trees.
Direct views are afforded into the site from Long Drag. The field itself is not visible but the upper storey and the roof would be visible.
Filtered views will be afforded from the Grade 1 listed Wood Barton ( as noted and evaluated by Aradis in respect of the absence of harm generated by the proposals to the significance of Wood Barton).
Medium and long-range views are all obscured by intervening vegetation and undulating landscape. This includes important receptors such as the Blackdown hills AONB.
6.112 In summary, the receptors most vulnerable to the visual impacts are users of Horn Road and Long Drag and to a lesser extend Wood Barton. All other medium and long-range views including the Blackdown Hills AONB have shown to be obscured.
6.113 On seasonality, the report notes that, most of the trees in the surrounding landscape are deciduous and therefore less effective as screening in winter. However, the trees across the landscape, both grouped and scattered, create layers that are still effective as screening and filtering views of the site from the surrounding landscape. The density of the existing hedge banks maintains low level screening even in the winter months.
36 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 The following recommendations to mitigate landscape and visual impacts are made and are Supporting Paper C shown in plan form on page 28, and have been translated to the submitted layout.
Retain all the existing hedgerows and trees to mitigate against close range visual impacts
Additional tree planting to fill up the gaps in-between the retained hedgerows to mitigate against close range visual impacts
New hedgebanks in south eastern corner of the site to mitigate against close range visual impacts
Introduction of further hedgebanks around the car park to further reduce the scale of the field and to screen parked cars and reinforce local landscape character.
Opportunity [at detailed design stage] for the Cricket Club building itself to reference locally found farmstead typologies to reinforce local landscape character.
Heritage Statement (Arcadis)
6.114 The submitted Heritage report focus on above ground matters. A desk-based archaeological assessment has not been requested DCC but a geophysical survey has been. A survey has not been possible over the summer due to the potato crop but will be undertaken in October and prior to determination There is no evidence that the site is of high arachnological potential (hence DCCs advice) , and thus the survey is unlikely to reveal anything of interest.
6.115 Designated built heritage assets within a 1.5km study area of the site have been assessed. It is considered that the proposed development will not result in harm to the significance of any designated heritage assets. While the proposed development will be partially visible on the periphery of filtered seasonal views from the Grade I Listed Wood Barton, the site is not considered to contribute to its significance and such views are not considered to result in harm to its significance.
6.116 Locally listed built heritage assets within a 1.5km study area of the site have been assessed (notably Bradfield House Park and Gardens) . The proposed development would not result in any harm to the significance of locally listed assets.
6.117 The proposals therefore accord with the principles of the NPPF and Mid Devon District local planning policy.
Ecology (Ethos)
37 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 6.118 An extended Phase 1 survey was carried out at the end of May2020 to assess the potential Supporting Paper C ecological impacts of the proposals and to make recommendations for further surveys s reserved matters stage.
6.119 The site is dominated by intensively managed arable farmland of low conservation value and is bordered by species-rich hedgerows featuring mature oak trees assessed to hold high biodiversity value. The River Ken was located on the northern boundary and two large ponds were present off site to the north-west of the site boundary. The hedgerows on this boundary, particularly H1 and H2 were dominated by mature trees and it was assessed that these habitats were suitable for a range of protected species.
6.120 The proposals will result in the loss of the arable field while the hedgerows are being retained (save for access, recalling that that access is a reserved matter). The replacement of intensive agriculture with grass cricket grounds would likely enhance the ecological value of the site. Successful mitigation of the proposals, as a whole, will hinge upon limiting impacts on the boundary features through disturbance (to create the access) and from lighting.
6.121 The report notes that there is no development aside from the playing surfaces (which are still 30m away) proposed near to the riparian habitat of the River Ken (evidence of Otter) and that the space between the northern ground and the Ken could be used to create an area of tussocky grassland. The eastern boudanry (H4) is unaffected by the proposals.
6.122 The earthworks for and seeding of the proposed location for two grounds can be permitted without the need for additional surveys. Construction accesses for these works can use the existing field gates that currently agricultural vehicles to enter the site.
6.123 At reserved matters stage, the establishment of the operational access (9.5m and 10m radii) from Horn Road will require the removal of a short stretch of hedgerow (H5). This hedgerow has the potential to host dormice and a phase 2 survey will be need to confirm presence, or otherwise. If the presence of dormice is confirmed an avoidance mitigation strategy will be needed within the site.
6.124 The presence or otherwise of amphibians will also need determined by survey prior to the submission of reserved matters, with hedgerow removal for access being the potential source of disturbance. If the presence of amphibians is confirmed a mitigation strategy will be needed within the site.
6.125 The report notes the scope light spill above ambient levels from the built-up part of the facility, and the need for bat activity and roosting surveys. The result of these surveys will generate the need for mitigation (e.g. alterative roost boxes) at reserved matters stage, or not, as the case may be.
38 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 6.126 Precautionary working practices have been recommended to protect a range of species during the construction phase
Trees (Ethos)
6.127 The Tree Survey confirm that nature of the trees around the boundary of the site. The feasibility drawing for access is based on access between T3 (category b, moderate quality) an T2, category c (low quality). The trees to the north of T2 are also category c trees. Access is not being applied for at this stage but the choice, based on the indicative layout pf the parking area, it to access the site between T3 and T2 or to move north a little, and to remove T2.
Flood Risk and Surface Water Drainage (Abley Letchford Partnership)
6.128 The FRA has demonstrated that:
There are Ordinary Watercourses in the form of unnamed field ditches within the boundaries of the site which will not present a residual risk of flooding to the site greater than that of the existing.
The detailed Fluvial flood map, for fluvial sources, provided by the GOV.UKs Flood Map for Planning indicate that the site area is entirely located with Flood Zone 1; assessed as having a less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of river or sea flooding (<0.1%).
Whilst the detailed flood map provided by GOV.UK indicates pluvial flooding within the site boundaries (just off Horn Road), any future risk of pluvial flooding will be mitigated by the onsite drainage and flood attenuation features provided within the development.
A detailed review of available data indicates a low risk from secondary flooding sources, such as groundwater, sewers, reservoirs or canal.
Post development impermeable areas have been calculated using the layout masterplan to determine the area of the proposed roads, buildings and hardstanding. This totals 0.70 ha. The remaining circa 8.1 ha will consist of sports pitches and facilities or open space, all of which will be permeable.
The attenuation basin (460m 3) in combination with source control techniques and other site controls will ensure that the proposed development will not pose an increase in flooding elsewhere.
39 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Exceedance flows can be safely accommodated within the Development and safe access Supporting Paper C and egress is afforded.
6.129 Figure A306 presents the surface water drainage strategy
6.130 Overall, the proposal should not be precluded on flood risk grounds as the Develop ment will not be at risk from existing sources and will not result in an increase in flooding downstream.
Transport (Abley Letchford Partnership)
6.131 The application is supported by a Transport Statement, Travel Plan Statement and Access Feasibility Drawing (A306-01 P2).
6.132 The Transport Statement identifies that the proposal with not have severe effect on the operation of highway network. The lack of public transport options is acknowledged but the site is within cycling distance of Cullompton, Willand and Kensitisbeare, and some user so the site will cycle. The Statement also set out the proposed level of car parking (including electric vehicles charging points), coach parking and covered cycling spacers.
6.133 A Travel Plan Statement is submitted with the objective of reducing single occupancy car trips.
6.134 Access is a reserved matter but the access drawing serves to demonstrate that a suitable access, with appropriate visibility splays can be achieved using the application site and highway land. There is flexibility at reserved matters stage for the precise point of access to move to achieve the same broad illustrative layout for the parking and drop off area.
40 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C 7. CONCLUSIONS
7.1 In order for the town centre relief road and its significant benefits to be delivered a new home for Cullompton Cricket Club is needed. Policy CU17 makes the link between the delivery of the relief road and the need to relocate any sports Clubs that are on the route. Whilst the Football Club can be relocated elsewhere on the CCA fields, the Cricket Club cannot, and a wholly new relocation site is needed.
7.2 Irrespective of the highway planning context, the club operates from sub-standard facilities, faces growing demands on the existing ground, and will continue to attract new players as Cullompton itself expands, as planned to do so in the recently adopted Local Plan to 2033. 2600 hoes are planned at East Cullompton (a likely population increase of 6,000+), and major development is also taking place elsewhere around the town. The Club is a Cullompton success story and its proposals link to ECB efforts to increase participation, with improved facilities is part of that strategy.
7.3 The NPPF recognizes that the relocation of sports clubs is an opportunity to improve their facilities and the application proposals respond to this in term of the playing areas, the pavilions and also the indoor school. The increased capacity with benefit other clubs (e.g. Devon County Seniors) and the indoor will enable cricket to taught and practiced in wet weather and year-round. It is a facility that can be used by small clubs in the area who find if difficult to secure time slots at facilities in Taunton and Exeter.
7.4 The location of the new facility at Horn Road has been justified having regard to its credentials assessed against the comparative suitability and availability of other shortlisted locations. Each locations creden tials has been discussed in Section 6.
7.5 Whilst DM23 requires that new community facilities are easily accessible by the local community and well-related to a settlement, Section 6 demonstrates that no suitable and available sites exist for a relocated and enhanced cricket club that are well related to Cullompton or easily accessible (by foot). One has to look east of the M5.
7.6 Although the proposed location is not within walking distance of Cullompton, the site offers a level cycle of 2.8miles/4.5km (15 mins) from the junction of the High Street with Tiverton Road. The likely route of would be along the quieter Kings Mill Road and Long Drag rather than along the Honiton Road. While players with large kit bags are unlikely to arrive by bicycle, it is possible that junior players, spectators and umpires, or those leaving their kit at the Club may cycle. Secure, covered cycle space provision is proposed.
7.7 It is acknowledged that cyclists would need to cross J28, but this is common to all locations aside from 1, 7 and 14, but these have other suitability (including access) and availability
41 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 issues. Cleary, although cycling is an option to get to the application site, most of players Supporting Paper C will drive the 6 minutes from the High Street. Either way the location is accessible to Cullompton by short car journey or cycle, and well related in term of travel times, if not physically attached or walkable.
7.8 Full weight can be given to the adopted allocation of East Cullompton (2,600 dwellings), which will place additional 6,240 residents in close proximity to the proposed site (within 600m of the site boundary as the crow flies). Whist no development has taken place and it will be several years before thee is site is built out, the proposal relocation site can be read as being linked to the adopted growth objectives for this part o the district.
7.9 Limited weigh can be given to a wider Culm Garden Village concept. Nevertheless, The Councils vison document for Culm Garden Village shows a development area up to Horn Road with question mark of the for the approach in the area between Horn Road and Dead Lane. Housing development between the north east corner of the East Cullompton allocation and Horn Road would enable the new facility to connect directly to Culm Garden Village/East Cullompton, with the internal network of off-road routes also shortening the cycling route into the High Street. The use of the application site for cricket would lock-in buffer land (that would not be housing) for Kentisbeare, an issue arising form the December 2018 consultation.
7.10 The proposed layout of the new facility at Horn Road has been justified in Section 6 having regard to ECB guidance note on pavilions and clubhouses (TS5). The layout is based on the optimum establishment two grounds (fixed) and in relation to the pavilion , hence the north-south rather than east-west orientation of the grounds. Keeping play away from Horn Road will remove any risk from flying cricket balls to users of the highway, and avoid the need for netting. The design approach also enables the pavilion and indoor cricket nets to be placed as far west as possible, towards existing site boundaries, whilst maintaining an acceptable distance to the playing areas
7.11 The proposed layout also enables the development of other sporting facilities off Horn Road, subject to planning.
7.12 Section 6 also addresses the environmental and transport effects of the proposals. It will be appreciated that the bulk of the facility is given over to the playing surfaces, other grassed areas and landscaping, following by parking and then structures (the pavilion and indoor school).
7.13 There will be no harm to the significance of heritage assets by virtue of harm to their settings. The change in landscape character is not a significant issue an there is no material visual harm. A planting scheme will strengthen the boundaries of the site including 180m of 42 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper C new hedgerow on the eastern boundary linking hedgerow 4 to hedgerow 6. This will generate significant net gain for biodiversity, as will tusssocky grassland between the northern ground and the spur of the River Ken. Targeted species surveys will be need at reserved stage when access is applied for and the other aspect to of the layout are proposed to be fixed. There is no reason why the application should be refused in terms of the operation of the highway.
7.14 Appendix 2 presents some representative examples to shows that a suitable pavilion of up to 2 storeys can be achieved more than satisfactorily through good design and the use of suitable materials. The landscape and visual report identifies the opportunity for the pavilion to reference locally found farmstead typologies to reinforce local landscape character.
7.15 The application accords with the Development Plan, taken as a whole, and should be approved.

It does not become lled with silt and clogged with vegetaon and will funcon as it is designed to do.
Relevant Local Plan Policies
The Planning Authority’s recently (July 2020) adopted Local Plan (Policy CU17 extracted in this report) states that this site is Week Farm and is allocated for 10.7 hectares of empoyment development up to 15,000m 2 of oor space. Use classes will be from B1 to B8:
• B1 Business. B1(a) is for oces, B1(b) is for Research and Development and B1(c) is for Industrial Processes. • B2 General Industrial (excluding incineraon purposes, chemical treatment, landll or hazardous waste processing). • B8 Storage and Distribuon that includes open air storage.
Background
Planning applicaon 20/01409/MOUT is a hybrid applicaon for planning consent to develop 4 large industrial units (to be sub-divided into smaller units as required) and outline consent to further develop the site to a maximum of 11 industrial unite (to be sub-divided into smaller units as required). There are two aspects to the development:
• Development of the industrial units in several phases. • Development of the Green Infrastructure allocaon in this vicinity. Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 The Development Supporting Paper D2
The proposed land allocaon is known as Week Farm; there has been recent development of other aspects of Week Farm for industrial use east of the exisng Kingsmill Industrial Estate. This proposal is immediately north and east of the exisng Mole Valley Farmers; the Stoneyford dwellings will have the Green Infrastructure allocaon, including the retenon basin, immediately north of it.
The Green Infrastructure allocaon will accommodate the retenon basin that will act as temporary water storage and a ow management tool in the event of very heavy rainfall that might otherwise result in ooding. The experience in the construcon of these devices at other locaons by other developers in Cullompton has been, somemes, less than sasfactory. There was grave concern about the health aspects of one of the basins at Kingsher Reach as it retained a relavely small pool of water at its base that became stagnant aer periods of dry weather with the aendant health risks.
The development for use classes B1 to B8 will consist of industrial units that are sub-divided as required. Waste from these units will be stored in dedicated facilies within the unit and there will be car parking provided at each unit. The applicaon is to develop 3 plots (at this applicaon) with the remaining 8 being developed at some point in the future; a proposed site layout is included in this report. Further development of the site (for which this applicaons seeks outline consent) will be subject to further Reserved Maers applicaons as the development progresses.
The land allocaon for this proposal is idened in the Planning Authority’s Local Plan Policy CU17. It is immediately adjacent to land allocated for the proposed Eastern Extension/Garden Village Iniave.
One of the criteria for the development listed in Local Plan Policy CU17 is the “Protecon and enhancement of the exisng Public Right of Way”. It has been brought to the aenon of the council, by the volunteer Footpath Warden, that, whilst the development seeks to protect the exisng Public Right of Way, it does lile to enhance it; all that is called for in the plans is the installaon of a pedestrian friendly “kissing gate or similar” to replace the exisng eld gate at the juncon of the Public Right of Way and the proposed pedestrian access to this proposed development.

A site of 10.7 hectares is allocated for employment development, subject to the following:
a) 15,000 square metres of employment floorspace within use classes B2-B8; b) Provision of a vehicular link from the Kingsmill employment area to Honiton Road; c) Archaeological investigation and appropriate mitigation; d) Protection and enhancement of the existing Public Right of Way; e) Transport assessment and implementation of a travel plan and other non-traditional measures to minimise carbon footprint and air quality impacts; f) Provision of 2 hectares of green infrastructure to include the retention of land in the floodplain, providing a landscape buffer to the west of the site as an area of informal open space; and g) Capacity improvements at Junction 28 M5 to deliver a strategic highway improvement as demonstrated by capacity studies completed to assess the impact of the traffic generated from the site.
3.134 The site is located east of the M5 motorway, adjacent to an existing area of significant employment development. The site could accommodate approximately 15,000 square metres of employment floor space. This is a lower density than would be expected for employment uses generally and is comparable to that anticipated on the consented adjacent site.
3.135 The site is allocated for B2-B8 use. However, the Council will consider proposals for alternative employment- generating uses on their merits. Development in this location will increase pressure on the motorway junction. Signalisation works at M5 Junction 28 were undertaken in 2015. Devon County Council queue length monitoring at junction 28 of the M5 motorway indicates congestion at the AM peak. The dev elopment will need to mitigate its impact upon the junctions capacity through implementation of an improvement scheme, either to the existing junction or in the form of more extensive junction improvement works involving a second overbridge required in connection with development east of Cullompton under policy CU7. A transport assessment to accompany a planning application would need to consider the impacts on the local and strategic road network including Junction 28 of the M5.
3.136 This site lies within a landscape that has evidence of prehistoric and Roman activity recorded in the Devon County Historic Environment Record. To the west, recent archaeological work has demonstrated the presence of prehistoric and Roman settlement in and around Cullompton. There is potential for the site to contain archaeological deposits associated with the known prehistoric and Roman activity in the vicinity, so archaeological investigation and appropriate mitigation will be required.
3.137 In order to improve accessibility the site will enable the creation of an additional point of access linking the site itself, along with the wider Kingsmill employment area, to Honiton Road. This is seen as an important advantage of the development of the site that will help to relieve pressure on the existing access to the area. 87 3.138 The site is bounded to the west by the River Ken and its associated floodplain. Development of the area of floodplain should be avoided and retained as green infrastructure, which may be designed into the development as an informal recreational area for those working at the site.

1 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper D2 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The site is located immediately to the East of Junction 28 of the M5 Motorway with frontage to the A373 Honiton Road. Cullompton town centre is located 0.5 miles to the West on the opposite side of the M5.
The complete development site occupies an area of 5.29 hectares/13.05 acres and at present is zoned as agricultural pasture land.
Mid Devon District Council local plan review 2013 – 2033 identifies the site under policy CU17 as an area allocated for employment development. The land immediately to the North and East is identified within the plan review as policies CU7 – CU12 and is proposed for mixed use development including residential.
The site had a comprehensive soil and archaeological investigation carried out in December 2019. No contamination was found and nothing was reported of interest by the archaeologist in attendance. The developer has identified a requirement and potential strong demand within the area for this type of development and employment creation.
The developer has identified a requirement and potential strong demand within the area for this type of development and employment creation.
This Design & Access Statement should be read in conjunction with any detailed Planning Statement, Ecological Appraisal, Flood Risk/Drainage Assessment, Landscaping scheme/specifications and Transportation Assessments which may accompany this application and prepared by other specialists.
PLOT 5
USE:
Red Diamond Distribution (RDD) is a specialist importer of materials handling and ancillary equipment to the UK market. Formed 7 years ago to import Mitsubishi forklift trucks the group now manages a wide portfolio of products. As well as importing fork lift trucks RDD also owns a number of dealers across the UK operating from 5 locations. These businesses supply trucks to the end user market, this involves sales, service and support functions. Group revenues are in excess of £40m per annum. RDD employ around 70 people in the UK.
The company is owned by an experienced group of Directors who all work in the business on a daily basis. Their policy is to reinvest profits back into the business, hence the project in Cullompton. They believe very strongly that their staff is critical to their success, have a very high loyalty level, a local recruitment policy and an apprentice programme in all locations.
As part of their group expansion programme Red Diamond Distribution Limited have identified a need in this part of the West Country for their expertise in the supply and distribution of new and second hand serviced fork lift trucks. This follows their successful takeover of Bristol Forklift’s, in 2018, the South West’s leading independent provider of materials handling equipment, short and long term rental and service back up. Not only does this mean job security, seamless continuity of supply and support but also Red Diamond’s commitment to the Mitsubishi brand.
The steel framed building will form the headquarters in this area for RDD the country’s leading supplier and distributor of Mitsubishi forklift trucks together with maintenance and repair. The building will be split into three sections, storage for new and used forklifts, workshop for their maintenance and repair and an ancillary two storey office element housing depot and service manager, tele-sales with
2 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 additional sales staff who are often out on the road. The warehouse will employ sixSupporting engineers. Paper D2 Cycle storage is to be contained within the unit with skips for waste materials, gas canisters and a bunded waste oil compound sited in a fenced and gated compound, see site layout drawing for detail.
AMOUNT:
The two storey office and industrial unit provides a gross external area of 1610.5square metres/17,336square feet.

LAYOUT:
The site identified as Plot 10 covers an area of approximately 0.35ha/0.87acres and is located to the south and western boundary.
4 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper D2 The site slopes from the North West to the South East at a gradient of approximately 1 in 17.
The industrial units have been designed to step down following the line of the natural contours, and finished floor levels are formed on a cut and fill basis with associated batters and small retaining walls as necessary. There will be the requirement for a new access road into the site from the A373 Honiton Road and this will be designed to an adoptable standard with footpaths both sides. There are 31 car parking spaces allocated to the development with 10 disabled spaces situated directly outside the units. Provision has been made for 20 secure or covered cycle spaces. Wall mounted cycle racks and refuse storage are to be contained within the industrial building envelope.
Provision has been made for suitable articulated vehicular access with a banjo turning area.
SCALE:
The industrial units are single storey with a mono pitched roof at 6º incorporating double/twin skin roof lights to approximately 10% of the roof area, laid in a strip pattern, with solar panels in between as part of a carbon reduction scheme. Eaves height above finished floor level will be 7.6 metres at the highest point reducing to 5.75 metres at the lowest.
The units have been designed to an institutional standard, on a cut and fill basis to reduce height, create a sympathetic scale and lessen any impact on the surrounding areas and vantage/view points as much as possible.
LANDSCAPING:
In terms of ecology Devon Wildlife Consultants have undertaken an interim ecological appraisal of the site. This initial appraisal confirmed the need for a range of further studies pertaining to bats in terms of flight line and foraging activity, dormice and breeding birds.
The majority of trees within the hedgerows on the site will be retained and an area of approximately 20,000m² on the western extent of the site will be set aside as a mitigation zone with incorporated wetland planting, native thicket and wet woodland planting.
Twelve bat and twelve bird boxes are to be installed on retained trees and new buildings in accordance with the ecological report.
The hedgebanks on site will be retained with the exception of the removal of a section of dividing hedgerow to create the new access road running east to west and the widening of the existing access point along the southern boundary of the eastern field. The incorporation of wetland planting and wildflower meadow seeding around the proposed sustainable drainage scheme (SUDS) will create and enhance a green corridor through the site.
The ecological appraisal carried out by Devon Wildlife Consultants their conclusions and the designs proposed mitigation measures demonstrates the sites suitability for this type of development without any adverse impact on ecological matters.
Plot by plot detailed landscaping schemes are to be designed and specified by a landscaping consultant appointed by the client/developer.
APPEARANCE:
The industrial buildings require a practical selection of materials suitable for their intended use. HPS200 or similar colour coated profiled trapezoidal external cladding panels, laid horizontally, together with mini-micro rib “flat” composite panels, to Plot 5, have been chosen for their durability and long life low maintenance.
5 Town Council 22nd Oct 2020 Supporting Paper D2 The use of brickwork to 900mm above finished floor level will provide a strong anchor on which the cladding above will sit. It is intended to use a red multi brick with a horizontal soldier course of buff coloured bricks 215mm high at the junction of the brickwork and cladding.
The roofs will be finished in colour coated (Merlin Grey BS 18B25) profiled steel composite roof sheets. The horizontal wall cladding is to be colour coated Metallic Silver RAL 9006 with Merlin Grey flashings, bargeboards and trims. The curved bull nosed eaves concealing the gutter above will also be coloured Merlin Grey BS 18B25. Polyester powder coated double glazed aluminium windows and doors have also been specified, colour Anthracite Grey RAL 7016, together with insulated sectional overhead doors colour Merlin Grey BS 18B25.
ACCESS:
There will be a requirement for a new vehicular and pedestrian access to the site from the A373 Honiton Road. This access road will be designed to an adoptable standard. Turning areas have been provided within the site boundary and there will be no need for vehicles to reverse out onto any part of the access road.
A pedestrian “level approach” to the office and industrial units has been achieved and designated car parking spaces have been denoted directly outside the main entrance, incorporating both able bodied and disabled car parking spaces. Provision has been made for the secure storage of cycles within the industrial section of the units to promote sustainable modes of transport.
Ground floor level to the industrial units incorporates a uni-sex fully compliant Part M disabled toilet with an adjacent tea making facility.
At both ground and first floor levels to the offices on Plot 5 provision has been made for uni-sex fully compliant Part M disabled toilets with a rest room at ground floor level and a tea station at first floor. Allowance has been made for the installation of a future disabled Part M compliant lift.
A detailed transport assessment, Flood Risk Assessment together with mitigation measures in the form of individual cellular storage tanks to each site, silt traps and oil separators, attenuation ponds etc. etc. has been designed and prepared by AWP Partnership. These should be read in conjunction with all other detailed reports which form part of this Planning Application.

POLICY TITLE Casual Vacancy Co-option Policy
POLICY NO
REVISION DATE
REVIEW DATE
REPLACES POLICY New Policy POLICY AIM This policy sets out the procedure to ensure there is compliance with legislation and continuity of procedures in the co-option of members to Cullompton Town Council. The Co-option procedure is entirely managed by Cullompton Town Council and this policy will ensure that a fair and equitable process is carried out.
1. Co-option
1.1 The Co-option of a Parish Councillor occurs when a casual vacancy has arisen on the Council and no poll (by election) has been called. A casual vacancy occurs when: i. A councillor fails to make his declaration of acceptance of office at the proper time; ii. A councillor resigns; iii. A councillor dies; iv. A councillor becomes disqualified; or v. A councillor fails for six (6) months to attend meetings of a council committee or subcommittee or to attend as a representative of the Council a meeting of an outside body. 1.2 Cullompton Town Council has to notify the District Council of a Casual Vacancy and then advertise the vacancy and give electors the opportunity to request an election. This occurs when ten electors write to the District Council stating that an election is requested. 1.3 If a by-election is called, a polling station will be set up by the District Council and the people of the parish will be asked to go to the polls to vote for candidates who will have put themselves forward by way of a nomination paper. Cullompton Town Council will pay the costs of the election. The people of the parish have fourteen Town Council 22 October 2020 Supporting Paper F
days (not including weekends, bank holidays and other notable days), to claim the by-election, but the electoral officer will advise the clerk of the closing date. 1.4 If more than one candidate is then nominated a by-election takes place but if only one candidate is put forward they are duly elected without a ballot. 1.5 If ten residents do not request a ballot within fourteen days of the vacancy notice being posted, as advised by the District Council, Cullompton Town Council is able to co-opt a volunteer.
2. Confirmation of Co-option
2.1 On receipt, of written confirmation, from the Electoral Services Office from the District Council, the casual vacancy can be filled by means of Co-option, the Parish Clerk will: i. Advertise the vacancy for four weeks on the Council notice boards and website; and ii. Advise Cullompton Town Council that the Co-option Policy has been instigated. 2.2 The Co-option process will take place as soon as is practicable as it is not desirable that electors in a particular ward be left partially or fully underrepresented for a significant length of time. Neither does it contribute to effective and efficient working of the Council if there are insufficient councillors to share the workload equitably, to provide a broad cross-section of skills and interests or to achieve meeting quorums without difficulty. 2.3 Councillors elected by co-option are full members of Cullompton Town Council although are not eligible to claim an allowance.
3. Eligibility of Candidates
3.1 Cullompton Town Council is able to consider any person to fill a vacancy provided that: i. He or she is an elector for the parish; or ii. has resided in the parish for the past twelve months or rented/tenanted land or other premises in the parish; or iii. had his or her principal place of work in the parish; or iv. has lived within three miles (direct) of the parish. 3.2 There are certain disqualifications for election, of which the main are (see 5. 80 of the Local Government Act 1972): i. holding a paid office under the local authority; ii. bankruptcy; iii. having been sentenced to a term of imprisonment (whether suspended or not) of not less than three months, without the option of a fine during the five years preceding the election; and Town Council 22 October 2020 Supporting Paper F
iv. being disqualified under any enactment relating to corrupt or illegal practices. 3.3 The application form will require candidates to declare that they meet the qualification criteria for holding office and are not disqualified for any reason. 3.4 Candidates found to be offering inducements of any kind will be disqualified.
4. Applications
4.1 Members may point out the vacancies and the process to any qualifying candidate(s). 4.2 Although there is no statutory requirement to do so, candidates will be requested to:
i. Submit information about themselves, by way of completing a short application form (Appendix A). ii. Confirm their eligibility for the position of Councillor within the statutory rules (Appendix B). 4.3 Following receipt of applications, the next suitable council meeting will have an agenda item 'To receive written applications for the office of town councillor and to co-opt a candid ate to fill the existing vacancy'. Copies of the candidates’ applications will be circulated to all Councillors by the Town Clerk at least 3 clear days prior to the meeting of the full Council, when the co-option will be considered. All such documents will be treated by the Town Clerk and all Councillors as Strictly Private and Confidential. 4.4 Candidates will be sent an electronic copy by email of the full agenda of the meeting at which they are to be considered for appointment. Candidates will also be informed that they will be invited to speak about their application at the meeting.
5. At the Co-option Meeting
5.1 Where there are co-options for more than 1 ward to be dealt with they will be taken on a ward by ward basis; the whole process for each ward, including voting, being completed before moving on to the next ward. 5.2 Candidates will be given a maximum of 5 minutes to introduce themselves to Members, give information on their background and experience and explain why they wish to become a Member of Cullompton Town Council. The process will be carried out by adjourning the meeting to allow the candidate(s) to speak. Discussion about the applications will take place in council session without intervention from the candidates or members of the public 5.3 Councillors may ask questions of the candidates but must take care to ensure that all candidates are given the opportunity to provide the same information. Town Council 22 October 2020 Supporting Paper F
5.4 When all candidates have finished giving their submissions, the council will re- convene and proceed to the voting stage of the process. 5.5 Where the number of candidates equals or is less than the number of vacancies the following proposal will need to be made and seconded by a Councillor “ that there being XX vacancy and XX candidate(s), namely xxxxx yyyy in accordance with legislation and the Town Council’s policy the Council formally declares the casual vacancy filled by xxxxx yyyy 5.6 Where the number of candidates exceeds the number of vacancies Councillors will proceed to a vote on the acceptability of each candidate utilising the ‘person specification’ criteria set out in Appendix C and any personal st atements provided by candidates. 5.7 To enter into the voting process a candidate must be proposed and seconded by a Councillor, any candidate who is not proposed and seconded will not proceed any further in the process. 5.8 At the start of the voting process the Chair will ask Councillors to propose and second any of the candidates, the voting will be between all of the candidates who have been duly proposed and seconded. If there are more than two candidates and there is no candidate with an absolute majority in the first round of voting the candidate with the least number of votes will drop out of the process. Further rounds of voting will then take place with the process repeated until a candidate has an absolute majority. 5.9 Councillors have 1 vote in each round of the voting process except in the case of an equality of votes where the meeting Chairman of the meeting has a second, casting, vote. 5.10 In order for a candidate to be co-opted to Cullompton Town Council, it will be necessary for them to obtain an absolute majority of votes available. 5.11 Every Councillor can choose to vote for one candidate or abstain from the vote. For the purposes of calculating the absolute majority, abstentions will not be included in the votes cast and will be counted separately. The absolute majority required by a candidate will therefore be 50% + 1 of the votes cast in their favour at the meeting. 5.12 5.13 If so requested by a member of the council, the vote will be recorded so as to show whether each Councillor present and voting gave his or her vote for, against or abstained. 5.14 If an absolute majority of votes is not attained by either of the final two candidates remaining in the voting process, the vacancy will remain unfilled. Town Council 22 October 2020 Supporting Paper F
5.15 After the vote has been concluded, the Chairman will declare the successful candidate duly co-opted. They will be invited to sign their declaration of acceptance office and then take a place at the meeting table and contribute to the debate of any remaining agenda items however they will not have a vote as they were not summoned to attend the meeting. 5.16 The Clerk will notify Electoral Services of the new Councillor appointment. The successful candidate(s) must complete the ‘registration of interests’ within 28 days of being elected. The form should be handed to the Clerk for forwarding to the Monitoring Officer. 5.17 If insufficient candidates come forward for co-option or a vacancy remains unfilled after the voting process described at 5.3 – 5.4 has concluded, the co-option process should continue, whereby the vacancies are again advertised.
