1.0 QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
1.1 My name is Paul Burley. I am a Master of Philosophy in Town Planning of the University of London, having studied at the Bartlett Institute of University College London. I am a Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute.
1.2 I am a Partner with the firm of Montagu Evans LLP, Chartered Surveyors and Town Planning Consultants, with offices in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Before Montagu Evans I worked for Robert Turley Associates and GL Hearn Planning, both in their London offices.
1.3 My experience in advising on town planning matters of all kinds has covered much of England and Wales and has included a wide range of commercial and residential development.
1.4 In particular, I have had a wide experience in dealing with matters involving large mixed-use proposals. Such advice has related both to site-specific proposals and strategic matters.
1.5 Throughout my career I have advised on retail proposals including the preparation of need and impact assessments. I have also acted in respect of a number of crematorium proposals and this work has involved the preparation of need assessments which were submitted in support of planning applications. I have appeared as an expert witness at numerous public inquiries.
1.6 I also have experience of dealing with Green Belt policy in a range of situations including in relation to: Wentworth Golf Club; a major mixed-use development on Metropolitan Open Land in south London comprising 839 new homes, a range of A Class floorspace and 25,000 sq m of healthcare floorspace; and a crematorium proposal in south west England.
1.7 The evidence which I have prepared and present in this proof of evidence and its appendices is true and has been prepared and is given in accordance with the guidance of the Royal Town Planning Institute, my professional institution. I confirm that the opinions expressed are my true and professional opinions.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Appeal Scheme
2.1 My evidence has been prepared on behalf of Dignity UK (‘the Appellant’) in support of its appeal against the refusal by South Staffordshire Council (‘the Council’) to grant planning permission for a new crematorium and related facilities (‘the Development’ or ‘the Appeal Scheme’) on land off Holyhead Road, Wergs, WV8 2HE (‘the Site’). The Site is located to the north-west of the Wolverhampton urban and local authority area.
2.2 The general location of the Site is indicated at Figure 2.1.

PROPOSED CREMATORIUM

2.3 The Development comprises a single-storey building with an area of approximately 500 sq m which will accommodate a chapel, a crematorium and administrative space. The chapel would be able to seat around 100 people and the facility would be equipped with a 43” cremator.
2.4 The crematorium is proposed to be open from Monday to Friday with an ability to provide for weekend cremations upon request. The building would be air-conditioned and offer live organ music, computerised on-line music and a visual system which also allows for the recording of services.
2.5 Hours of service are proposed to be 09:00 to 17:00. The crematorium would offer one-hour ‘slots’ within which services would take place, that is eight each day or forty each week. Services would be enhanced by offering a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week booking service as is available for all crematoria that are operated by the Appellant.

Background and Scope of Evidence
2.6 My evidence deals solely with aspects of the need case for a crematorium in this location. Other material considerations in support of the Development are dealt with by other witnesses.
2.7 In 2014 I prepared a Need Assessment (‘the 2014 Assessment’) which was submitted in support of the planning application (reference number 14/00838/FUL) for the Development. The 2014 Assessment was subject to a review by the Council’s advisors, GVA, before the planning application was determined.
2.8 I was commissioned by the Appellant to produce a proof of evidence to explain aspects of the need case in further detail, to include a review of GVA’s critique of the 2014 Assessment. That proof of evidence was intended to inform a public inquiry that was scheduled to take place in 2016 but which was postponed.
2.9 Given the passage of time since the preparation of my first proof of evidence (’FPOE’), I have updated my evidence to take account of the following:
the most recently-available full-year ONS population and death rates; the most recently-available full-year cremation rates; and a recent (July 2016) appeal decision for a crematorium in South Lakeland (Crooklands) close to the site of an extant permission for a crematorium in the same borough that was also allowed at appeal (Milnthorpe).
2.10 In summary, I now have access to a suite of information from 2015 which I will use so that all information is from the same base year.
2.11 In addition (and only very recently) the Council has raised questions about the differences in methodology used in the assessment of need by Dignity and Westerleigh. Given that the Appeal Scheme is now to be decided by way of a conjoined appeal with Westerleigh’s Appeal, I have adopted the same methodology as Westerleigh to hopefully facilitate comparison between the two (my step-by-step assessment is set out in this Proof of Evidence) and assist the smooth running of the Inquiry. Therefore I have also had regard to Westerleigh’s recent planning application (16/00938/FUL) for a crematorium at Essington, and specifically to Westerleigh’s approach to the assessment of need including its identification of the catchment area.
2.12 I should point out, however, that whilst I have adopted the same approach as Westerleigh in identifying the catchment area (ie identifying a constrained 30-minute drivetime from the Appeal Site and then applying gravity model principles to estimate usage of the proposed facility) there may be differences in terms of data used. For example I note that the 2016 Westerleigh planning application is, in some respects, based on older data than I have used to prepare this Proof of Evidence. In addition, Westerleigh appears to use ONS population data disaggregated to ward level whereas I use ‘Middle Super Output Areas’ or MSOAs.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 4 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
2.13 As is explained by the ONS1, Output Areas (‘OAs’) are the main geographies directly associated with the Census and were created specifically for the output of census estimates. The OA is the lowest geographical level at which census estimates are provided and they were introduced in Scotland at the 1981 Census and covered all the countries of the UK at the 2001 Census. Super Output Areas (‘SOAs’) were designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics and are built up from groups of output areas. SOAs were initially introduced for use on the Neighbourhood Statistics website but later became the standard units for presenting local statistical information across National Statistics’ output.
2.14 Before OAs and SOAs were introduced, local statistics were produced at electoral ward / division level. The ONS notes that this had drawbacks because electoral wards / divisions vary greatly in size, from fewer than 100 residents to more than 30,000. This was not ideal for nationwide comparisons, and also meant that some data could not be released for smaller wards due to disclosure issues and the need to protect the confidentiality of individuals.
2.15 When preparing need assessments for crematoria I have always used MSOAs as opposed to ward-level data because they are the preferred means of expressing geographically-based population data by the country’s national statistics bodies.
2.16 That said, both MSOAs and wards are well-recognised geographical units and are based on the same census data.
2.17 As before and with regard to quantitative need I use a methodology which has been developed by reference to a number of parameters accepted by the Secretary of State as appropriate tools for measuring quantitative need in the context of other recent appeal decisions in respect of crematoria proposals. This methodology is further informed by my and my firm’s extensive experience of undertaking gravity model-based analyses.
2.18 In respect of qualitative need I also refer to considerations which have been taken into account and applied in previous appeal decisions relating to crematoria proposals and, as noted above, in relation to other recent proposals in the region. These considerations are addressed further in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury of the Appellant which should be considered alongside my evidence.

3.0 CONSIDERATIONS IN IDENTIFYING A NEED FOR A CREMATORIUM
Introduction
3.1 When compared with other land uses for which need assessments are routinely carried out – for example retail or housing – applications for new crematoria are relatively uncommon. It is perhaps because of this that there is no policy or guidance in relation to the assessment of ‘need’, whether quantitative or qualitative, for crematoria as is the case in relation to other land uses such as retail.
3.2 Furthermore, need assessments for other land uses, particularly retail and leisure proposals, are commonly based on household surveys to identify patterns of behaviour.
3.3 Whilst surveys can be used to gather people’s general opinions, in assessing the need for a crematorium it can be difficult to gather a complete picture of end-of-life services by survey for a variety of reasons:
the intentions of the deceased may not be known to or carried out by their families;
people’s preferences change over time – for example many more young people than older adults say that they would like to be buried, yet this is not borne out by experience as the cremation rate has continued to grow steadily over time; and
other unpredictable factors can inform choices, for example services may take place further from the deceased’s last place of residence in order to be close to the deceased’s relatives elsewhere, or to enable families and friends to attend.
3.4 With regard to an assessment of quantitative need for a crematorium, therefore, this has to be based on reasonable assumptions about future usage, including the proportion of services that will be cremations, and the likely area that a facility will serve. Such assumptions are based on how people would be expected to behave if acting in a logical manner, tailored as necessary to reflect knowledge of local circumstances and behaviour.
3.5 Qualitative need cannot be modelled in the same way – whether there is a qualitative need relates to the experience of operators and service users.
Overview of Need Considerations
3.6 In identifying matters of relevance to an assessment of need, I have referred to approaches accepted elsewhere by the Secretary of State when assessing need for crematoria; previous planning decisions, including planning appeal decisions, are material considerations to which regard should be had.
3.7 The previous decisions to which I have had regard are as follows:
APP/N3020/A/07/2039505 (Calverton-Eagles; Core Document N2); APP/N3020/A/2074820 (Calverton-Novitzky; Core Document N3); APP/W1715/A/08/2070547 (Burnetts Lane); Core Document N4);
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 6 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
APP/D0840/A/09/2098108 (Camborne; Core Document N5); APP/A0665/A/12/2186911 (Lach Dennis; Core Document N6); APP/M1005/A/12/2188880 (Swanwick; Core Document N7); APP/G2245/A/13/2210128 (Halstead Orchard Barn; Core Document N8); APP/T2405/A/13/2210523 (Countesthorpe; Core Document N9); APP/F2415/A/14/2211858 (Great Glen; Core Document N10); APP/G2245/A/14/2217055 (Halstead Oak Tree; Core Document N11); APP/N3020/A/13/2208636 (Catfoot Lane; Core Document N12) and the scheme which was subsequently approved by Gedling Borough Council (the Committee Report, Minutes and Decision Notice are at Core Document O6); APP/M0933/W/15/3003034 (Beetham Hall, Milnthorpe; Core Document N13); and APP/M0933/W/15/3135605 (Crooklands, South Lakeland; Appendix PB1).
3.8 The proposals for a new crematorium in Gedling were the subject of litigation and I have also had regard to the most recent High Court judgment in this respect (see R (on the application of Timmins) v Gedling Borough Council & Another [2016] EWHC 220 (Admin) (09 February 2016)), a copy of which is Core Document N1 and which I will refer to as ‘Timmins’.
3.9 With the exception of Catfoot Lane, Gedling, planning permission was granted pursuant to each of the above appeals. With regard to Gedling, the local planning authority subsequently granted planning permission for a new crematorium being promoted by a competitor operator on land immediately adjoining the Catfoot Lane site (see Core Document O6).
Qualitative Considerations
3.10 Qualitative considerations that are noted in those above decisions include:
1. travel time / proximity of facility – there is often a strong preference for end-of-life ceremonies to be performed in the deceased’s local community which means that people attach importance to there being facilities within, or within reasonable proximity to, their community (eg as acknowledged in Camborne (paragraphs 28, 29 and 33), Swanwick (paragraph 20), Halstead Orchard Barn (paragraph 20), Countesthorpe (paragraph 18), Great Glen (paragraph 8), Halstead Oak Tree (paragraph 24), Burnetts Lane (paragraph 7), Catfoot Lane (paragraph 57), Milnthorpe (paragraph 31), and Crooklands (paragraph 11));
2. service length / congestion – most people value the opportunity to have an un-rushed service and, in this respect, it is preferable to avoid congestion that can occur when services are tightly scheduled and / or where two chapels are operated side-by-side as recognised in decisions such as Lach Dennis (paragraph 43), Countesthorpe (paragraph 18) and Camborne (paragraph 34); and
3. scheduling – people do not simply choose the next available time for a service to take place. Commonly, they already have a preferred time and date in mind and are prepared to wait a reasonable period of time in order to accommodate this preference. Therefore, where there is insufficient capacity in the existing system to accommodate people’s needs, increasing delays between death and cremation will be experienced (eg as was noted in Camborne (paragraph 35), Lach Dennis (paragraph 43), Swanwick (paragraphs 25 and 30),
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 7 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
Halstead Orchard Barn (paragraph 22), Countesthorpe (paragraph 18), Catfoot Lane (paragraph 57) and Milnthorpe (paragraph 31)).
3.11 Other components of qualitative need include:
4. religious and cultural flexibility – the availability of specialist or flexible facilities to meet the needs of religious or ethnic groups over and above the ‘standard’ facilities that one would expect to find in a crematorium, as well as the flexibility to allow for non-religious services to take place;
5. up-to-date facilities – the availability of contemporary / up-to-date facilities incorporating, for example, air conditioning and audio-visual resources; and
6. memorial facilities – the availability of sufficient space to offer a choice of memorial options (gardens, floral areas, plaques, books of remembrance and so on).
Quantitative Considerations
3.12 Whether there is a quantitative need depends on whether there are sufficient slots to satisfactorily cater for the number of services that are likely to take place in the catchment area of the facility.
3.13 In the abovementioned appeal decisions, the consideration of quantitative need has involved having regard to a number of matters such as:
1. the proposed facility’s catchment area – this starts with an identification of the area representing what generally would be considered to be a reasonable maximum acceptable drive-time to a facility, usually 30 minutes. A 30-minute maximum drive-time for catchment areas was used in the need assessments for the proposals at Calverton (paragraph 10), Camborne (paragraph 29), Lach Dennis (paragraph 41), Swanwick (paragraph 23), Halstead (paragraph 20) and Great Glen (paragraph 8). This drive time is to be assessed by reference to the slower travelling speed of a cortège. This is usually calculated at 60% of normal driving speed, as applied in the approach used at Camborne (paragraph 31) and Swanwick (paragraph 24). I note that the adoption of a ‘constrained’ drivetime has also been used in planning applications elsewhere in the borough, for example at Essington (16/00938/FUL) by Westerleigh;
2. the location of other facilities – the drive time may need to be adjusted to reflect local circumstances; for example if the proposal were in a dense urban area people might expect to travel a shorter distance to their nearest facility and, conversely, in a very rural area people might expect that they would have to travel in excess of 30 minutes. This was recognised by Mr Novitzky who, at paragraph 23 of his Calverton decision, said that “a whole range of travel times would apply in different locations around the country, from remote countryside to dense urban areas”. The principle of adjusting travel times, or of 30 minutes being a ‘rule of thumb’, was also recognised in the Camborne decision (paragraph 29) and in the Swanwick decision (paragraph 23);
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 8 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
3. population, death and cremation rates – an appropriate assumption has to be made about the likely proportion of cremations (as opposed to burials) that will take place in the aforementioned area for the population within that area. Again, that appropriate assumption is derived in light of the approaches which have been used and accepted elsewhere for other proposals, but it must be tailored to reflect any known local patterns or circumstances. For example one would normally expect the cremation rate to be higher in an urban area than in a rural area because there are fewer crematoria in rural areas and greater numbers of people will therefore choose burial rather than having to travel a longer distance to a crematorium.
In reaching a view on the cremation rate to be used regard should be had to the national average and trends (as derived from information provided by the Cremation Society of Great Britain) and, where such information is available, local rates; and
4. usage of facilities – whether there is a sufficient population with cremation needs based on projected mortality rates in that catchment area to support the proposed new crematorium. In this respect, a new facility will often satisfy ‘latent demand’ (a matter that I will discuss later), but it will not be the case that all of the cremations at a new facility will be services that would not otherwise have been cremations.
In this part of the assessment, it is assumed that not all scheduled cremation slots will be used (eg as was noted in Camborne (paragraph 23), Halstead Orchard Barn (paragraph 23) and Crooklands (paragraph 11)) and that there will be seasonal variations in usage (eg as was noted in Calverton-Eagles (paragraph 6) and Swanwick (paragraph 25)).
The Relationship between Quantitative and Qualitative Need
3.14 At the outset of this part of my evidence, I should emphasise the very close relationship between quantitative and qualitative need, a relationship that does not necessarily exist when looking at the quantitative and qualitative need for other land uses.
3.15 A key point to note is that the ability of operators to adjust the length of time slots at existing facilities can make it appear as though there is no quantitative need because there are spare slots that would normally remain unused. A reduction in the length of the slot, however, will usually have negative qualitative consequences meaning that changes that, on the face of it, would diminish the quantitative need for a new facility would increase the qualitative need for a new facility. This need can only be addressed through the addition of new capacity.
3.16 Conversely, if qualitative improvements are made to service provision, this can have negative quantitative implications. For example, whilst people value the opportunity to have an un- rushed service, longer service lengths limit the ability of facilities to address quantitative need by reducing the supply of available time slots (paragraph 22 of Halstead Orchard Barn refers to the length of time available for funerals as a constraint). Again, the means of addressing this is through the creation of new capacity which will also result in improvements to the experience of users of existing facilities because it reduces the pressure on the facilities.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 9 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
3.17 There are other ways in which quantitative and qualitative need are closely linked.
3.18 One example is where people are prepared to accept some delay in their service taking place in order to secure a preferred day and time. The delay is a qualitative issue but is a result of a quantitative deficiency in the availability of slots at the most popular times.
3.19 Another example is the time / distance that people are willing to travel. Ideally most people would want services to take place as close to home as possible but the availability of facilities and suitable time slots can mean that people are prepared to travel further – a qualitative issue – to meet their need.
3.20 I have set out these points because the relationship between quantitative and qualitative need is one which is not necessarily experienced in other sectors but, with regard to crematoria, it is a very important relationship and one which should be considered in balance. I do not respectfully agree, for example, that greater weight should necessarily be placed on quantitative need or that there can only be a need if “the continuation of the existing situation would involve some significant adverse consequence” which were conclusions reached at Catfoot Lane (paragraph 66).
3.21 In any event, and as I have indicated above, following the dismissal of the Catfoot Lane appeal, the local planning authority approved an application for a new crematorium on an adjacent site having regard to both the quantitative and the qualitative need for a facility in that location as explained in the committee report which is Core Document O6. In doing so, the authority applied a methodology based on need parameters considered in other appeal decisions (as above).
3.22 Subsequently, that decision by the authority was unsuccessfully challenged in the Courts.
3.23 In respect of the balance of need considerations, Patterson J noted at paragraph 98 of her judgement in Timmins that:
“Whether or not there is a need for a given facility is quintessentially one of planning judgment for the decision maker having proper regard to all of the relevant surrounding circumstances and subject to considerations of rationality: see R (Cherkley Campaign Limited) v Mole Valley District Council [2014] EWCA Civ 567 at [25] to [35].”
3.24 Patterson J also addressed at paragraph 101 whether it was legitimate to have regard to future circumstances in assessing the ‘need’ for a proposal in addition to consideration of the existing situation. She concluded that:
“As one of the roles of the planning system is to secure provision of infrastructure to meet future needs as well as current needs it would be surprising if the defendant did not take future needs into account.”
3.25 These considerations will guide the remainder of my proof of evidence. In the next section (Section 4.0) I will look at the existing and future quantitative need for the Development.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 10 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
4.0 The Quantitative Need for a New Crematorium
4.1 In this Section I will explain the quantitative need for the Development. I will use the same approach to defining the catchment areas as Westerleigh but will undertake my assessment on the basis of the most recently-available suite of data (which is for 2015) as I explained in Section 2.0.
4.2 As was recognised in Timmins, there is no specific guidance on the calculation of capacity for future crematoria (paragraph 101). In that case, the defendant (and proposed operator of the crematorium) was found to have: ”adopted a rational and reasoned approach to the calculation of capacity” and could not “be criticised for carrying out the exercise in the way that it did” (paragraph 101). With that in mind, I will now set out the reasoning behind the data and assumptions that I have used in this Proof of Evidence.
Base Data & Assumptions
1. Existing Facilities
4.3 By way of background for my assessment I consider the facilities in the area around the Site. I have identified a number of such facilities and will refer to them as being within the ‘study area’. Whilst located in the ‘study area’, they will not necessarily be in direct competition with each other; rather, they have been identified in order to inform the likely catchment area of the Development based on a gravity model.
4.4 Those facilities are summarised in Table 4.1 and their respective locations are illustrated at Figure 4.1. I have also illustrated other facilities in the surrounding area, for information only.

4.5 As indicated earlier, I have updated the cremation statistics to 2015 as these have been published since I prepared my FPOE. The Cremation Directory (extract at Appendix PB2) shows the statistics for 2014 (which were used in the FPOE) alongside 2015. Looking at those it is clear that usage of Bushbury (Wolverhampton), Dudley and Telford was significantly greater in 2015
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 11 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
than in 2014. Usage of Stafford – which is outside of the area of influence of the Appeal Site as will be explained later – dipped slightly. For ease of comparison the increases were as follows:

4.6 As can be seen from Figure 4.1, there is a network of facilities that already serves the West Midlands conurbation and the surrounding area which is generally clustered in the eastern and southern sides of the conurbation and a number of facilities are located in quite close proximity to each other. For example, and according to the AA’s route planner (which gives average off- peak drive times), the existing facilities listed in Table 4.2 are about 10 minutes’ drive (at normal speed) from each other. This would mean that people mid-way between two of the facilities
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 12 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
would have to drive a maximum of five or six minutes at normal speed to reach one or the other, or eight to nine minutes in a cortège travelling at 60% of normal speed.

4.7 Bushbury Crematorium is the closest existing facility to the Site. When compared to the distances set out in Table 4.2 above, Bushbury Crematorium is further away from its next- nearest facilities as can be seen in Table 4.3 below. Even at a cortège speed, however, someone midway between Bushbury and Dudley (Gornal Wood) would have to travel around 24 minutes to either one of the facilities.

4.8 30 minutes’ drive has been referred to as ‘rule of thumb’ in previous appeal decisions when considering a facility’s catchment area, a concept which I understand originates from Camborne (APP/D0840/A/09/2098108; Core Document N5). However, it is important to note that that was a proposal in the relatively sparsely populated county of Cornwall, being a peninsula with an elongated catchment and very few other crematoria for people to choose from; in reality people are likely to travel for more than 30 minutes in such circumstances.
4.9 At paragraph 4.18 of its critique (Core Document E13) of the 2014 Assessment, Bilfinger GVA stated that:
“The assessment puts forward a 30 minute drive-time as a “maximum” reasonable journey time to a crematorium. In this respect, the assessment shows that one of the existing facilities, that is, Wolverhampton (Bushbury), is within 30 minutes of Codsall. Therefore the need for a crematorium in respect to Codsall is not demonstrated on qualitative grounds. Moreover, as noted in Section 2, a 30 minute drive-time should not necessarily be applied rigidly and the assessment shows that Telford and Dudley (Gornal Wood) are within a 45 minute drive-time of Codsall, a time noted in the Lambley appeal decision as not normally likely to cause distress or hardship. This further weakens the qualitative case. It is noted that the proposed facility would deliver drive-time savings
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 13 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
from Codsall of between 16-50 minutes, which would be a benefit, but, as noted in Section 2, a benefit is not the same as filling a need.”
4.10 However, it is wrong to focus on driving time as a determining factor in the location of future crematoria and whether there is a need for a new facility; 30 minutes should not be used as an ‘exclusion zone’ within which no other facilities should be permitted. Indeed, if that were the case the Crooklands proposal (see Appendix PB1) would not have been approved in the context of the already-approved Milnthorpe facility – the sites are about 8 km (5 miles) apart, or about 15 minutes’ drive at normal speed.
4.11 Rather, and as is evident from the existing network of facilities (as above), it is not distance which determines the need for a facility in quantitative terms but the existence of sufficient population in an area to support a new facility, as well as other indicators of need such as the quality of existing provision. It follows that in a dense area, such as the West Midlands conurbation, there will be a network of facilities relatively close together. Indeed, 30 minutes’ drive from Bushbury would overlap significantly with 30 minutes’ drive from the next-nearest existing facilities, yet Bushbury is still in the top 10% of busiest crematoria in the country (it is the 20th busiest facility in the country in terms of annual number of cremations, out of 233 facilities). Furthermore, and as noted above, usage of Bushbury is continuing to increase despite the existence of that network of other facilities.
4.12 In other words, the current situation demonstrates that, whilst a ‘rule of thumb’ can be a starting point, it should not be determinative in gauging the acceptability or otherwise of a proposed new crematorium.
2. Catchment Area of the Development
4.13 As I noted earlier, and to respond to a request from the Council, I have adopted the same methodology as Westerleigh. The starting point for this is the identification of a 30-minute drivetime. The 30-minute drivetime has been adjusted using the same principles as Westerleigh, as explained in the Technical Note at Appendix PB3. I will refer to this adjusted area as the ‘constrained’ 30-minute drivetime.
4.14 I have also done this mindful of the comments of GVA in its February 2015 assessment of the Appeal Application and associated Need Statement to which I have already referred.
4.15 The map showing the constrained 30-minute drivetime from the Appeal Site, produced by DTA, is reproduced overleaf (Figure 4.2); the constrained 30-minute drivetime area is illustrated by a solid red line. Additionally it shows constrained 30-minute drivetimes from existing crematoria in the surrounding area, indicated by shaded areas of various colours.
4.16 For ease of reference, DTA have also plotted a 30-minute drivetime from the Westerleigh site in Essington. This exercise shows that there is a very small area of overlap between the Dignity and Westerleigh constrained 30-minute drivetimes and that the existing crematorium at Bushbury is close to the edge of both facilities’ constrained 30-minute drivetime areas.

4.17 I should highlight, however, that this does not mean that the catchment areas of the Dignity and Westerleigh proposals overlap; the parts of their respective constrained 30-minute areas that overlap with the 30-minute drivetime area of Bushbury will not in practice form part of the Dignity or Westerleigh catchments; instead, they will be foreshortened to a point somewhere mid-way between Bushbury and the Appeal Site or Bushbury and the Essington site (as the case may be) on the basis that people for whom Bushbury will still be a quicker journey are likely to continue to use it (ie on the basis of gravity model principles as noted above).
4.18 I have overlaid the aforementioned constrained 30-minute drivetime on a map (Figure 4.8) which also shows the boundaries of MSOAs, the statistical geographical unit (or area) that I have referred to in my calculations in order to ascertain population and death rates.
4.19 I have then refined that area according to gravity model principles, ie on the assumption that if the Appeal Scheme was built, those that were in the area that was closer to the Appeal Scheme than any of the existing facilities would use the Appeal Scheme and vice versa. I will refer to this refined area as the ‘refined’ catchment area within the constrained 30-minute drivetime.
4.20 In this case, one would normally expect people living to the east and south-east of Telford and in the west and north-west of Wolverhampton to use a facility on the Site. One might also reasonably anticipate that those living to the north and north-west of Dudley might do likewise.
4.21 With regard to the constrained 30-minute area from the Appeal Site, the principal adjustment to make to arrive at a catchment area for the Development relates to the eastern side of the constrained 30-minute area. It is reasonable to assume that a number of people who live much closer to Bushbury would not switch to a facility on the Appeal Site, no matter how superior it might be; they would continue to use their closest facility. This means that the eastern extent of the catchment would be foreshortened to the midpoint between the Appeal Site and Bushbury.
4.22 There is relatively minimal overlap between the catchment of Dudley and Telford and the constrained 30-minute catchment area with most of the rest of the Appeal Site’s 30-minute area falling outside of a 30-minute drive from an existing facility. This does not necessarily mean that people who live in that area do not already choose cremation. Rather, it indicates that there is a large area that will be much better-served by the Appeal Scheme, addressing a clear qualitative need. The resultant ‘refined’ catchment area within the constrained 30-minute drivetime is illustrated on Figure 4.9 later in this section.
3. Death and Cremation rates
Death Rates 4.23 The need to cater for peak periods is a matter discussed in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury. Such peaks can come about because of increases in death rates and because of variations in death rates at different times of the year. The need to have regard to peak periods was noted as a legitimate consideration in Timmins (paragraph 103):
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 16 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
“As the claimant recognises the capacity of a crematorium is fixed. To provide for sufficient capacity in the peak month or months the crematorium required will have the same capacity throughout the year. The use of an uplift figure was appropriate for the reasons set out above. If a figure for a month of lesser demand is used then there will be insufficient capacity for the peak month of January. Equally to meet the peak January figure will result in oversupply in July. Accordingly, the use of an annual figure makes no difference. The report was transparent and the members were aware that, in granting the permission, there would be an excess of capacity over need from the numbers supplied within the committee report.”
Annual Changes in Death Rates 4.24 Over the past five years in England there has been a significant change in the number of deaths. For example, at 2011 the number of deaths was 452,862 but by 2015 this had risen to 495,155, an increase of 9.4% when comparing 2011 with 2015. The chart below (Figure 4.3), however, shows that there were not year-on-year increases in the number of deaths; the total number fell in 2014 before rising steeply in 2015. I have added the provisional death rate for 2016 to Figure 4.3 for corroborative purposes; this shows that there has not been a significant change from the 2015 ‘peak’; the final figure for England in 2015 was 495,309 and the provisional figure for 2016 is 490,065, a decrease of just over 1%. This demonstrates that 2015 is not exceptional but rather it and 2016 reflect the continued upward trend in the number of deaths in England.

4.25 Similarly, death rates have varied across the local area, as illustrated at Figure 4.4. Within South Staffordshire, Telford and Wrekin and Wolverhampton there was also a slight decrease in the number of deaths in 2014 when compared with 2013 and then an increase – taking the number higher than in 2013 or 2014 – in 2015.

4.26 The above graphs deal with the last five years. As recognised in Timmins, however, one of the roles of the planning system is to secure provision of infrastructure to meet future needs as well as current needs. Such analysis is usually based on population projections which are produced by the ONS and include birth and death rates.
4.27 Projected death rates for England are illustrated at Figure 4.5 and summarised at Table 4.4. The projections run from 2014-15 and to these I have added the actual number of deaths in 2012-13 and 2013-14. As can be seen, after an initial dip following the significant increase in 2015, the number of deaths in England is projected to rise continuously over the next twenty years.

4.28 The projections reported above are clearly conservative with reference to the provisional actual death rates for 2016; the ONS projected the 2015-2016 rate to be 464,994 yet, in fact, the figure was 490,065 (see paragraph 4.24), a difference of 5.3%. Whilst we do not have more recent projections to rely on (the ONS projections are not scheduled to be updated until autumn 2017) I would emphasise that a difference of more than 5% is statistically significant and would positively affect the projections. As a consequence the indexed numbers in Table 4.4 would also increase which would then increase the number of deaths in the catchment area.
4.29 In this assessment I have not made any adjustments to address these conservative projections by the ONS. As such my estimate of the number of deaths in the Appeal Site’s catchment is also likely to be conservative which reinforces the robustness of my approach.
Peak Periods 4.30 Account also needs to be taken of peak seasonal periods. Whilst some land uses can at times operate beyond their design capacity (eg a car park of a retail store might operate at full capacity just before Christmas and people might decide to take a taxi or park on a nearby road instead), crematoria are unable to do so – a chapel can only accommodate one ceremony at a time and there is a finite number of services that can be performed in any one day. The only theoretical elasticity is through the reduction of service times but this is not usually acceptable and it gives rise to other fundamental qualitative need issues if it occurs, as referred to in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 19 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
4.31 As a matter of principle, crematoria must be capable of operating effectively and efficiently at the period of highest need and to cope with the inherent unpredictability of death.
4.32 Unexpected peaks in deaths such as that revealed by the 2015 data – a year in which the number of deaths was about 6% higher than the number in the preceding year and about 7% higher than the projection for the subsequent year – can arise because of a variety of reasons, for example unusually cold or hot weather or public health emergencies.
4.33 It is also important to note that across a year death rates are not constant and are subject to seasonal variations – December to March tend to experience the highest number of deaths. To illustrate this, the proportion of total deaths by month, based on the average for England for the five-year period 2011-2015, is shown in Figure 4.6.

A full copy of each of the spreadsheets is provided for verification purposes in the Appendix PB4 to my proof of evidence.
4.34 At the national (England) level, the differential is quite marked – the total number of deaths in the highest month (January, annual average of 48,634 over five years) is 141% of the total number in the lowest month (August, average of 34,625).
4.35 The average (mean) number of deaths per month across the period 2011 to 2015 (inclusive) in England was 39,287. The mean number of deaths for January, the month which has the highest death rate, was 48,634 across that same five-year period. On average, therefore, and having regard to the most up-to-date information, the death rate for the peak month was 24% above the monthly average.
4.36 I have also looked at local data as part of this assessment to see if there is any difference locally.
4.37 Looking at the data in Figure 4.7, it is clear that for South Staffordshire, Wolverhampton and Telford and Wrekin the busiest month is also January. All of those local authority areas show rates in the peak month in excess of 120% of the monthly average. The actual figures are 123% for South Staffordshire, 122% for Telford and Wrekin, and 127% for Wolverhampton.

4.38 Clearly the peak in the Wolverhampton local authority area is higher than the national average peak and the peak month in Telford and in South Staffordshire is slightly lower than the national peak. Given that users of the Development are likely to be drawn from all of the areas noted above I will adopt the national average peak of 24% in my updated assessment in this proof. This is consistent with the approach that I adopted for the 2014 Assessment where I used the national average peak, albeit at that time the peak was 22% (that figure was also based on a mean of the five previous years’ data).
Concluding Remarks on Death Rates 4.39 When assessing the need for a crematorium the reason behind variations in death rates – whether seasonal as can be seen from monthly data, or annual as just discussed – is irrelevant; there must still be sufficient available capacity to be able to cope with them without compromising service levels for the bereaved. A network of crematoria must be able to satisfy the need at all times, and must do so in a respectful manner; it would not be appropriate to provide an inferior service at busy times just because the deceased had passed away at the busiest time of the year or in a year that was experiencing a significant increase in the number of deaths. A funeral is often a very stressful and emotionally-charged event for those close to the deceased and, as such, all involved need be treated with the utmost sensitivity. Key to this is ensuring that the bereaved are afforded the time and space to have a service that conforms to their wishes and matches their expectations.
4.40 Whilst there is a clear seasonal pattern year-on-year which I will take into account in my assessment, I will not include an allowance for annual peaks because of their inherent unpredictability. That is not to say that they should be ignored. To the contrary, a network of facilities will still have to cope with such peaks, however unpredictable.

Cremation Rates 4.41 The most recent period for which cremation rate information is available is the year ending December 2015. I attach an extract from the 2016 Cremation Directory at Appendix PB2 which shows that the most recent cremation rate (in England and Wales) was just under 80%.
4.42 In the 2014 Assessment, I assumed that there would be a cremation rate of 75%, albeit I noted that the national average was a little higher. A national average will of course include very urban areas as well as very rural areas. In updating the 2014 Assessment I also considered rates in England’s largest conurbations – the ‘metropolitan counties’ – to see if there is a higher cremation rate. I have done this because the catchment area of the Development would include part of the West Midlands conurbation.
4.43 The data in Table 4.5 (overleaf) show that in all cases the cremation rate in the metropolitan county areas is higher than the national average for England. This is perhaps unsurprising given that these areas are in general better-served by crematoria than less-densely-populated areas and may well have less space for burial. In the case of the West Midlands, the rate is between 84% and 89%, a significantly higher rate than the national average rate used in the 2014 Assessment.
4.44 That figure will undoubtedly include some ‘inflow’ – for example it is known that people from South Staffordshire currently use (amongst others) the existing crematorium at Bushbury – but this will not account for all of the difference and there will also be some degree of ‘outflow’ where people living in the West Midlands conurbation choose facilities elsewhere (eg Telford) for logistical or qualitative reasons.
4.45 The catchment area of the Development would include some of the West Midlands urban area and some of the relatively rural South Staffordshire area. The rate is therefore likely to be less than the 84% to 89% range for the West Midlands (with a mean rate of just over 87%) but higher than the national average.
4.46 By way of comparison, in West Yorkshire – an area with large towns and cities as well as extensive rural areas in the metropolitan county – the rate is between 79% and 81% according to statistics from the Cremation Society of Great Britain. It is reasonable to assume that across the catchment area of the Development as a whole, that is including parts of South Staffordshire and Shropshire UA, the cremation rate could be at least 80%. Whilst I previously also tested the 75% cremation rate that I adopted in the 2014 Assessment, given the recent evidence of a near-80% rate across England and Wales as a whole as well as the metropolitan area rate, I consider 75% to be unduly conservative and 80% to be more realistic. I will therefore only look at an 80% rate in this Proof of Evidence.

4. Usage of Facilities
4.47 Every crematorium has a theoretical maximum capacity which can be calculated as the total number of slots on any given day within the facility’s opening hours, multiplied by the number of days per annum that the facility is in operation. However, in practice, not all of these slots will or can be used. This was recognised in Camborne (paragraph 23). In that appeal, the Inspector identified that it was not realistic to expect that every available time slot, especially those in the early mornings or late afternoons, could or would be utilised. The reasons for this, which underlie the assumption that 75% of slots are ‘core slots’, are explained further in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury.

Assessment of Quantitative Need

4.49 On Figure 4.9 I illustrate the area from which, based on the gravity model principles referred to earlier, people within the 30-minute area are likely to gravitate towards a new crematorium at the Appeal Site. It is important to highlight that this is just the area within the 30-minute drivetime because, undoubtedly, people from rural areas (eg around Bridgnorth) will travel further than 30 minutes if they wish to use a crematorium because of the absence of any closer alternative. Those areas have, however, been disregarded for the purposes of this assessment.

including that if travelling to Bushbury people to the west and south would have to negotiate the city centre ring road whereas journeys travelling away from the city are likely to be easier, particularly at peak travel times.
4.51 On the basis of these refinements to the catchment area, the population would be as set out in Table 4.6 below. For the avoidance of doubt this population relates to the area shaded pink within the constrained 30-minute catchment area on Figure 4.9 above.

Capacity of Existing Facilities
4.52 For the purposes of this Proof of Evidence I have again reviewed the capacity of existing facilities based on current operating characteristics.
Operating Assumptions
Operating Days
4.53 Whilst the Appellant makes its facilities available at weekends (by appointment only), crematoria rarely operate seven days a week, including because of funeral directors’ and other celebrants’ lack of availability at weekends. They are also likely to close on public holidays.
4.54 As in the 2014 Assessment and my FPOE, I have assumed that eight days per annum are weekday bank holidays, working on the assumption that where a bank holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday a weekday will be declared a bank holiday. On that basis, there would be 252 weekdays per annum.
4.55 Based on telephone enquiries to each of the facilities within the study area, two of them (Telford and Stafford) offer the possibility of Saturday services by appointment. For each of those facilities I have assumed an additional 50 services per year which is likely to be an optimistic assumption.
Utilisation Rate
4.56 Another factor to take into account, and as noted in appeal decisions, is that it is unrealistic to assume that crematoria will operate at capacity. Future bookings cannot be predicted with certainty; usage varies because of external factors, for example people will not necessarily book the earliest slot but may wait for a time that suits them better or for when a celebrant is available; they may decide to wait for a double slot because a high frequency service can degrade the quality of the experience. Furthermore, even where there are two chapels at a crematorium, restricted parking could mean that only one service may take place at any one time.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 26 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
4.57 I have therefore assumed that crematoria will be operated at 75% of theoretical capacity having regard to the usage of core and non-core slots as discussed in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury. This is consistent with the approach adopted elsewhere. It is also the same assumption that I adopted in the 2014 Assessment and in my FPOE.
Seasonal Variations
4.58 Facilities have to be able to cope with peak months. As I noted earlier in this section, I have analysed more recent monthly variations in death rates according to data from the ONS. On the basis of those statistics I have assumed that the death rate for the peak month is 24% above the monthly average.
4.59 Taking account of those assumptions, and based on the information in Table 4.1, I have calculated the theoretical capacity of each existing facility (Table 4.7), including weekend slots albeit, as noted earlier, these are often unused. Then I have calculated the factored capacity (Table 4.8). ‘Factored capacity’ represents the theoretical capacity adjusted to reflect the 75% utilisation rate on the basis that a proportion of slots are unlikely to ever be used.
Table 4.7 – Theoretical Capacity Facility Chapels Service Weekday Weekday Weekday Weekend Weekend Weekend Frequency Hours Capacity Capacity Hours Capacity Capacity mins per day per Sat & Sun per annum annum W’hampton 2 45 0900-1630* 18 4,536 N/A N/A N/A Bushbury 0915-1645* Dudley 1 40 0900-1220, 9 2,268 N/A N/A N/A 1330-1650 Telford 1 60 0900-1700 8 2,016 by N/A 50 appointment Stafford 1 30 0900-1630 15 3,780 by N/A 50 appointment *both chapels in Bushbury have a 45 minute break in the middle of the day.
Table 4.8 – Factored Capacity (Benchmark) Facility Theoretical Usage Factor Factored Mean Factored Capacity Capacity Capacity per annum Monthly W’hampton Bushbury 4,536 0.75 3,402 284 Dudley 2,268 0.75 1,701 142 Telford 2,066 0.75 1,550 129 Stafford 3,830 0.75 2,873 239
4.60 Taking account of the peak month’s number of deaths being 24% higher than the monthly average, I have then looked at how such a level of usage compares with the factored capacity of each facility to ascertain whether it would result in each facility operating under pressure (Table 4.9).

Capacity of Existing Facilities to Accommodate Growth
4.61 Turning now to whether those facilities can accommodate future growth, based on data from the Cremation Society of Great Britain (‘CSGB’), the UK cremation rate has been approximately 75% over the most recent years for which data are available (see Appendix PB2).
4.62 As I noted earlier, for the purposes of this proof of evidence I have looked at cremation rates for England which are consistently higher than those for the UK and I have also looked at the metropolitan county areas which have cremation rates that are generally higher than the average for England (see Table 4.5).
4.63 This will be due to a number of factors including a relative lack of burial space in densely- populated urban areas and better provision of crematoria than in less-densely-populated areas.
4.64 This assumption does not take account of potential ‘latent demand’ for services arising from a new facility, a phenomenon that I discussed in the 2014 Assessment. In scenarios that I have examined elsewhere it has been the case that, following the opening of a new facility, the decrease in the number of services at existing facilities has been equivalent to about half the number of services performed at the new facility. The potential for ‘latent demand’ to constitute a proportion of services at a new facility is therefore not insignificant.
4.65 In preparing a need assessment in 2013 for a new facility in County Durham, for example, I found that in 2012 when the recently-opened Wear Valley performed 580 cremations, the number of cremations at other facilities had decreased by 331 which was equivalent to 57% of the number of cremations being performed at Wear Valley (see Table 4.10). Not all of these would have been diversion – there would have been some natural fluctuations in the numbers of deaths, hence my assumption that around half of the services would have been diverted. That means that the other services are likely to have been ‘latent demand’, ie they would have otherwise been burials.

4.66 Whilst making an allowance for latent demand could increase the predicted number of services at the Development (ie it could enhance the quantitative need case), I have not made such an allowance because I cannot predict with any certainty what the level of latent demand might be.
4.67 With regard to future estimates, I have used 2015 as the base year as this is the most recent year for which data are available and then projected ten years from that date.
Table 4.11 – Factored Capacity, Future Usage and Peak Demand (2025) Facility Factored Actual Annual Mean Monthly Peak Month** Peak Month Capacity Cremations* Cremations as % of Factored Capacity monthly estimated (2025) Mean % Wolverhampton 284 2,724 227 282 99 Dudley 142 1,992 166 206 145 Telford 129 1,493 124 154 119 Stafford 239 1,874 156 193 81 * estimate is 103% of 2015 actual usage as per growth rate at Table 4.4;** Based on mean month + 24% to reflect January peak; allow for rounding.
4.68 As can be seen, at 2025 the existing capacity issues will have become more acute; both Dudley and Telford will continue to be performing in excess of factored capacity.
4.69 Stafford will continue to have the lowest slot usage in percentage terms (albeit not in absolute terms – it will continue to be second-busiest crematorium in the study area) but it should be borne in mind this is the facility with the shortest slot length (just half an hour, with only twenty minutes for services). This, however, is not expected to be affected by the Appeal Scheme albeit it is expected to be affected by development at Essington according to the 2016 planning application for Essington.
4.70 Usage of Bushbury will also continue to increase. As discussed by Mr Lathbury, even at the current rate of usage there are significant delays to services taking place at peak times, a situation that will not be addressed – indeed, it will worsen – if usage continues to rise without any additional capacity being created.
4.71 I noted earlier that quantitative and qualitative need cannot be considered discretely – they have to be in balance. An important point to note at this stage is that any apparent capacity at Bushbury is at the expense of the quality of the mourners’ experience. Indeed, if Bushbury was to offer one-hour slots with services lasting 45 minutes, as at Telford and as proposed at the
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 29 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
Development, this would mean that the facility could offer 12 daily services within the existing opening hours (09:00 to 16:45; I have assumed that the crematorium will continue to have a break in the middle of the day).
4.72 As shown in Table 4.12, one-hour slots would result in very great pressure on facilities. Even with extended opening hours to enable there to be 14 slots per day, there would still be significant pressure on facilities.
Table 4.12 – Wolverhampton-Bushbury with One Hour Slots at 2024 Wolverhampton – Bushbury Factored Annual Mean Peak Peak Month as Capacity Cremations Monthly Month* % of Factored Cremations Capacity monthly estimate (2025) Mean %
Existing opening hours (12 slots) 189 2,724 227 282 149 Extended opening hours (14 slots) 221 2,724 227 282 128
4.73 In practice, it is unrealistic to expect that every slot would be used in such a scenario. As Mr Lathbury has explained, the larger chapel at Bushbury is used more often than the smaller chapel and not all services will be capable of being accommodated in the smaller chapel. The consequence would then be people having to wait even longer for a service in the larger chapel which is a significant qualitative issue given that it would add to the distress of the bereaved at an already difficult time.
Diversion Following Construction of the Development
4.74 I anticipate that the Development would serve an area to the south-west, west and north-west of Wolverhampton, including parts of the western side of the Wolverhampton urban area. This is shown on Figure 4.9 earlier in this section.
4.75 Using the same usage assumptions set out earlier, I expect the capacity of the Development to be as follows:
Table 4.13 – Theoretical Capacity of the Development Service Weekday Weekday Weekday Saturday Saturday Saturday Theoretical Frequency Hours Capacity Capacity Hours Usage* Usage Capacity mins per day per annum Sat per annum 60 09:00-17:00 8 2,016 on request 1 50 2,066 * estimate.
4.76 Bearing in mind the previously-discussed assumption that crematoria operate at approximately 75% of theoretical capacity, the factored capacity of the Development would be 1,550 services.
4.77 The Development would serve a catchment area with a 2015 population of 138,363 and 1,299 deaths.
4.78 At a cremation rate of 80%, this would equate to 1,039 cremations in 2015. This can be compared with recent new-build facilities such as Mendip which opened in 2011 and performed 708 services in 2014, and Sedgemoor which opened in 2013 and performed 674 services in 2014
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 30 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
I should note that, based on Dignity’s experience, a new location might take several years to mature. This is because it takes time for people, including funeral directors, to become aware of and to get used to using a new facility and also because, over time, there will be a greater ‘conversion’ rate – where more people choose cremation rather than burial because the new facility has made it a more realistic and convenient option for them.
4.79 On a pro rata basis (ie assuming that services are diverted in proportion to the extent of overlap between the constrained 30-minute drivetime areas), the number of services drawn from the catchment areas of existing crematoria (based on the 2015 data above) is estimated to be as in Table 4.14.
Table 4.14 – Services at New Facility (2015) – 80% Cremation Rate From Number of Average per Peak Percentage Resultant Services month Month* Diversion Services Peak Month Annual 1 W’hampton 926 77 96 35 1,719 2 Dudley 30 3 4 2 1,932 3 Telford 83 7 9 6 1,367 4 Stafford 0 0 0 0 1,819 Totals 1,039 87 109 * Based on mean month + 24% to reflect January peak. Allow for rounding in totals.
4.80 This exercise demonstrates that the Development would primarily relieve pressure on the existing crematorium at Bushbury.
4.81 With regard to Telford, and as explained in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury, a proportion of Telford’s patrons come from the catchment area of the Development. Consequently, a high- quality facility at the Site with a similar qualitative offer to Telford would reasonably be expected to divert cremations from Telford, too.
4.82 Assuming that 926 services are diverted from Bushbury there would still be 1,719 cremations at Bushbury.
4.83 I would refer to this diversion being the ‘maximum effect’ because a reduction in pressure on facilities such as Bushbury could also give rise to diversion from other busy facilities, such as from Dudley to Bushbury, as other parts of the network adjust to changes in capacity.
4.84 In other words, a reduction in usage at Bushbury following the opening of the Development – and the consequential better availability of slots at Bushbury – might cause people who would have otherwise chosen other facilities that are experiencing significant pressure (such as Dudley) to divert to Bushbury instead.
4.85 Furthermore, I have not taken into account additional cremations (which could be up to 200), which arise from latent demand, for the reasons that I have articulated earlier in my evidence. My approach is, therefore, robust.
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 31 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
Quantitative Need and Diversion – Concluding Remarks
4.86 It is clear that the Development would primarily relieve pressure on the existing crematorium at Bushbury, which is overtrading and suffering from qualitative deficiencies in its offer.
4.87 With regard to Telford, and as explained in the Proof of Evidence of Mr Lathbury, a proportion of its patrons come from the catchment area of the Development. Consequently, a high-quality facility at the Site with a similar qualitative offer to Telford would reasonably be expected to divert some cremations from Telford, too.
4.88 Assuming that 926 services are diverted from Bushbury there would still be 1,719 cremations at Bushbury.
4.89 I have also looked at the effect of granting planning permission for a crematorium at Essington in addition to the Development; the diversion estimates are from Westerleigh’s 2016 planning application (16/00938/FUL) and the cumulative diversion is set out below at Table 4.15. Again this is likely to be the maximum effect. In addition, there is also likely to be some latent demand being satisfied in the Essington catchment, albeit probably to a lesser extent than the Development given that the area is already relatively better-served than the catchment of the Development. The diversion figures set out below are consistent with the parties' submissions that the Appeal Scheme and the Essington scheme would serve substantially different catchment areas.

5.0 Summary and Conclusions
5.1 This Proof of Evidence relates to the need for a proposed crematorium on land off Holyhead Road, Wergs. The Development would offer one-hour slots in a modern, high-quality environment and these are addressed in the evidence of Mr Lathbury.
5.2 There is no planning policy or guidance that sets out the approach to assessing the need for a crematorium. I have undertaken this assessment using a gravity model technique and data that have been accepted in a number of previous appeal decisions. In identifying the catchment area of the Development, I have adopted the same approach as Westerleigh (in relation to its scheme, which is also the subject of this inquiry) in order to assist the Inspector.
5.3 There are a number of need considerations which are qualitative in nature, for example: travel times; service length; congestion; the availability of suitable slots; religious and cultural flexibility; the provision of up-to-date facilities; and the availability of memorial facilities.
5.4 Other considerations have a bearing on quantitative need, for example: the facility’s catchment area; the location of other facilities; population, death and cremation rates; and usage of facilities.
5.5 There is, however, a very close relationship between quantitative and qualitative need – the various considerations cannot be considered discretely. Without additional capacity being created, qualitative improvements to existing facilities can have negative quantitative consequences and vice versa. Qualitative and quantitative need must therefore be considered in balance.
5.6 In this Proof I updated my original Assessment which was based on 2012 data and my FPOE which was based on 2014 data and I have used 2015 population data. I have updated other data, for example cremation rates, and have explained population trends with reference to recent ONS information. I have also updated the monthly variations in death rates and cremation rates based on the most recent five years of information.
5.7 Based on those data, and as at 2015, both Telford and Dudley are at or exceeding their factored capacity during the peak month. Bushbury is approaching its factored capacity.
5.8 Looking forward to 2025, Telford and Dudley will continue to operate under significant pressure and usage of Bushbury will continue to increase.
5.9 Thus the existing, already unacceptable, situation (where delays are common) will persist and people will continue to have to ‘make do’ with the most unpopular slots or wait for a more acceptable slot, both of which are significant qualitative issues given the effect that they can have on the bereaved.
5.10 Furthermore, whilst the assessment has regard to the usual annual peak in deaths, it does not take account of exceptional years where the overall death rate increases significantly. A network of facilities must be able to cope not only with annual peaks but also must have sufficient
Dignity Funerals Ltd – Proposed Crematorium, Holyhead Road, Wergs 33 Proof of Evidence of Paul Burley BA(Hons) MPhil MRTPI in Relation to Need
flexibility to be able to deal with such general increases in the number of deaths and to do so in an appropriate manner. A funeral is often a very stressful and emotionally-charged event for those close to the deceased and, as such, all involved need be treated with the utmost sensitivity. Key to this is ensuring that the bereaved are afforded the time and space to have a service that conforms to their wishes and matches their expectations – it would not be acceptable to offer a lower quality of service to the bereaved simply because their loved one had died at a busy time.
5.11 I have noted on a number of occasions in my Proof of Evidence that quantitative and qualitative need cannot be considered discretely – they have to be in balance. The apparent capacity at Bushbury during the peak month is at the expense of the quality of the mourners’ experience. Indeed, if Bushbury was to offer one-hour slots with services lasting 45 minutes (as at Telford and as proposed at the Development) it would be operating significantly in excess of its factored capacity in the peak month with the attendant negative qualitative implications.
5.12 If the Development is built I expect that it would primarily relieve such pressure at Bushbury. For the purposes of this exercise I have not assumed that there would be any re-distribution of crematorium usage as a result of this. Nevertheless the consequential better availability of slots at Bushbury might cause people who would have otherwise chosen other facilities that are experiencing pressure (such as Dudley) to divert to Bushbury instead. If so, there would be wider qualitative benefits arising from the Development.
5.13 Furthermore, I have assumed that all services at the Development would be diverted from existing facilities and I have not taken account of latent demand. This is because latent demand would be difficult to model with any accuracy. I have, therefore, adopted a robust approach.
5.14 In any event, this assessment demonstrates that even disregarding latent demand there is a clear quantitative (and qualitative) need for the Development.

Appendix PB1 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605 Crooklands, South Lakeland
Appeal Decision Site visit made on 2 March 2016 by M Seaton BSc (Hons) DipTP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
Decision date: 25 July 2016
Appeal Ref: APP/M0933/W/15/3135605 Land to the North of Junction 36 of the M6, adjacent to the A65, near Crooklands The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. The appeal is made by SCP Investments Limited against the decision of South Lakeland District Council. The application Ref SL/2014/1231, dated 22 December 2014, was refused by notice dated 30 March 2015. The development proposed is the erection of a crematorium with memorial gardens and associated landscaping, car parking, and a new access to A65 and changes of land use.
Procedural Matters
1. The planning application forms indicate the applicant to have been Property Alliance Group Ventures Ltd, whilst the grounds of appeal highlight SCP Investments Limited to be the appellant. However, I have had regard to correspondence received during the course of the appeal which confirms that Property Alliance Group Ventures Ltd had provided express permission for the appeal to be lodged on behalf of SCP Investments Limited.
2. I note that there is some discrepancy between the appellant’s identification of the appeal site and the Council’s reference on the Notice of Decision. However, I consider the Council’s description to be more accurate in highlighting the precise location of the appeal site, and I have therefore also identified the appeal site on the same basis.
3. During the course of the planning application, the Council has indicated that the appellant submitted additional and revised plans and information, principally in respect of highway matters but also incorporating updates to the landscape proposals. On the basis of the submitted evidence, these submissions and documents have been addressed by the parties and my decision has therefore also taken them into account.
Decision
4. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the erection of a crematorium with memorial gardens and associated landscaping, car parking, and a new access to A65 and changes of land use on Land to the North of Junction 36 of the M6, adjacent to the A65, near Crooklands in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref SL/2014/1231, dated 22 December 2014, subject to the conditions attached in the Annex.
Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
Background and Main Issues
5. On the basis of the evidence placed before me, the Council and appellant agree that the Development Plan comprises the policies of the South Lakeland Core Strategy 2010 (the Core Strategy), the South Lakeland Allocation of Land Development Plan Document 2013 (the DPD), and the saved Policies of the South Lakeland District Council Local Plan 2006 (the Local Plan). The Council has also drawn my attention to the South Lakeland Land Allocations Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2013 (the Delivery Plan), which recognises the need for a crematorium in the South Lakeland area, as a consequence of an increasing ageing population and the increasing popularity of crematoria.
6. Neither the Council nor appellant has drawn my attention to a specific Development Plan policy regarding crematoria, although the parties have referred me to locational criteria as set out in the primary legislation of the Cremation Act 1902, which are still engaged. In this respect, the Cremation Act advises that the crematorium should be at least 200 yards (183 metres) from any dwelling unless the owner, lessee or occupier has given their consent in writing, and at least 50 yards (46m) from a public highway. For the purposes of the Cremation Act, the expression “crematorium” is stated as meaning any building fitted with appliances for the purposes of burning human remains, and includes everything incidental or ancillary thereto.
7. I have had careful regard to the submissions of an interested party related to the siting of the crematorium, which includes reference to a new reception building approved at the entrance to the Millness Hill Caravan Park in 2013. The submission has also drawn my attention to the Department of the Environment (DofE) guidance, “The Siting and Planning of Crematoria” (1978). I note that the submitted reference to the DofE guidance highlights advice that the meaning and scope of crematorium would also include grounds used for the disposal of ashes.
8. The crematorium building would be set the minimum distance away from the closest dwelling-house, or in this instance holiday lodge, and whilst my attention has been drawn to the closer proximity of the approved reception building, I am satisfied that this would not contravene the siting restrictions set out in the Cremation Act. However, on the basis of the appellant’s own submissions in the Grounds of Appeal, the memorial gardens comprising both formal courtyard spaces and gardens of remembrance would be open for mourners to scatter ashes, and in accordance with the DofE guidance regarding the meaning of crematorium, would be within the 183 metre minimum distance. Nevertheless, whilst I would consider the DofE guidance to remain extant albeit not as planning policy or guidance, the DofE guidance is intended as guidance for those planning or designing crematoria. In this respect, I would conclude that what would constitute a crematorium for the purposes of the Cremation Act would ultimately be a matter for the Courts and that in the absence of any detail relating to a conclusive legal judgement, this is not a decisive matter in determining this appeal.
9. I note that Policies CS1.1 and CS1.2 of the Core Strategy address the principle of development in the open countryside in accordance with a sequential approach to site location, and that development should be allowed only in exceptional circumstances where is has an essential requirement for a rural location. In this instance the appellant has followed a sequential approach to
2 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
the location of the proposed crematorium, but has been unable to identify existing buildings, previously developed land, or infill opportunities within settlements which would be suitable for the proposed use. This conclusion has not been disputed by the Council, who accept that a mainly open countryside location would be required given the constraints. I am also mindful from the submitted evidence that this conclusion is consistent with the views reached by Inspectors on previous appeal decisions.
10. I have noted that the issue of there being a need for a crematorium is common ground between the main parties, with reference having been made to the conclusions of a previous Inspector’s decision for a crematorium at Levens, South Lakeland from 2005, as well as the aforementioned Delivery Plan in establishing the principle. Whilst I am mindful that neither main party has directed me towards any definitive background evidence which establishes the need, I accept that the current distances for South Lakeland residents to travel to the nearest crematoria in Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness would be markedly reduced. This would fulfil the need for a qualitative improvement in the availability of facilities for the residents of South Lakeland.
11. I am mindful that the quantitative need for a crematorium has been disputed by interested parties on the basis that there is capacity at existing crematoria. A report submitted by an interested party challenges the premise that existing facilities in Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness are working to capacity, on the basis of a reported conversation from February 2015 with the manager of the Lancaster & Morecombe Crematorium. However, I am mindful that it has generally been held in other appeal decisions that a crematorium operating at 100% capacity is a nominal or theoretical figure due to the technical limitations of equipment and the unpopularity of certain slots during the day. Furthermore, whilst the opening of a crematorium within South Lakeland may have an impact on the business and demand for existing crematoria further away, this must be balanced against the qualitative benefit of reducing the need to travel.
12. I have also considered the submissions regarding Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures for annual registered deaths in the South Lakeland area up to 2014, which it is contended demonstrate an overall decline in annual death rates over the past decade. However, on the basis of the actual figure there is a relatively limited variation over the reported period, and in any event the accepted basis for the quantitative need is based on future projections for an ageing population and demographic trends, from which it is concluded that demand is likely to grow. I find therefore in respect of the principle of a need for crematorium facilities within South Lakeland, the submissions of interested parties do not provide a substantive or compelling basis upon which to counter the Council’s Delivery Plan and illustrate that there is not a need or that it should be provided elsewhere within the District.
13. My attention has also been drawn to the recent appeal decision from January 2016 granting planning permission for a crematorium at Beetham Hall, near Milnthorpe, which I consider to be a material consideration. However, whilst I am mindful of the circumstances related to this appeal, despite the Council’s assertion of the applicant’s intent to implement the planning permission, I do not consider that this provides a basis of any certainty that the development will proceed. Furthermore, there is no compelling evidence or reference within the Beetham Hall appeal decision that the development as approved would fully
3 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
satisfy quantitative and qualitative need within the District. I do not therefore consider the extant approval for Beetham Hall to be a decisive factor in assessing the acceptability of the proposed development.
14. In reaching a decision, the Council has highlighted that the proposed development of the appeal site would as a consequence of the various facets of the crematorium, result in a significant urbanising effect on a rural and agricultural setting, with the development introducing discordant and jarring features into the landscape. Furthermore, it has been concluded that the location of the crematorium would have an adverse effect on existing business in the vicinity, with particular reference to the impact on tourism.
15. As a consequence, the main issues are therefore;
The effect of the countryside location of the proposed development on the landscape, character and appearance of the area; and,
Whether the proposed development would result in adverse impact on tourism and local businesses.
Reasons
Landscape, character and appearance
16. The appeal site is comprised of a 2.75 hectare broadly triangular parcel of undeveloped grassland located to the north east of Junction 36 of the M6 motorway, and close to the junction between the A65 and A590. The land slopes upwards to the northern and western corners, with the western and southern boundaries defined by major roads, and the eastern boundary by the Lancaster Canal. I observed at the site visit development to the east of the canal to be fairly limited with occasional dwellings and buildings set adjacent to the canal, whilst Millness Hill Caravan Park is located to the north. To the south are more extensively developed areas comprising a rural auction centre and business village accommodating both office and light industrial floorspace. The appeal site is highlighted as not being located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or a National Park.
17. The appellant submitted a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) as a means of assessing and evaluating the changes to both the local and wider landscape as a consequence of the proposed development. The LVIA concludes that the change of the character of the site from undeveloped land to a crematorium would in landscape terms give rise to a low to moderate landscape effect in respect of landscape character, and a low landscape effect in respect of vegetation. It is also concluded that the development would give rise to a series of moderate visual effects, the most significant of which would be experienced in the immediate locality from surrounding land and development, with the principal effects experienced along the A65 and the public right of way which bounds the site. It is however contended that the change would be mitigated through tree planting and vegetation associated with the development. It is concluded in more distant views, such as from rights of way at Farleton Fell to the south, that there would be a minor change to the existing views of the landscape, but no a significant environmental effect. Nevertheless, whilst the overall conclusion is that there would be minor adverse landscape or visual impacts from the development from the permanent and irreversible nature of the development, it is accepted that some localised
4 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
impacts would be adverse and more significant, despite the proposed mitigation and amelioration of the impact through the landscaping of the site.
18. On the basis of the submitted evidence, I note that the Council does not take issue with the baseline report of the LVIA but disagrees with the conclusions which have been reached. The Council also refers to the importance of the appeal site as an open area of transitional land at this junction, with the land viewed as an important part of the foreground of open, rural and agricultural views to Farleton Knott and to Howe and Scout Hill, and contests the description of the landscape context as semi-urbanised.
19. In this respect, I do not disagree that the land makes a positive contribution to the landscape context, but it is evident from my observations that the character of the surrounding area has changed. The Council’s description of the wider area as possessing a rural and agricultural character cannot be disputed, but I accept the appellant’s contention that the immediate area now possesses a more urban characteristic than other parts of the wider rural area. This is clearly as a consequence of the extent and type of development and associated infrastructure which has already occurred, as well as the impact of the major transport corridors passing in the area of the appeal site. Whilst I recognise that it is not disputed that that the loss of the open land on the appeal site would clearly have an adverse landscape effect and that there would be an increase in urbanisation of the land in the vicinity, I do not consider that the appeal site exhibits any particularly special landscape characteristics which dictate its preservation over and above any other rural site.
20. I have carefully considered the Council’s contention regarding the impact of the loss of the open land on the appeal site in the context of long views from Farleton Fell and Scout Hill. However, I agree that whilst it is clear that there would be a material change to the mosaic of fields in long views, the change would be viewed in the context of the existing development in the vicinity and on surrounding land.
21. Turning to the proposal itself, I note that the Council does not dispute, despite its conclusions on the urbanisation of the site, that the treatment of the crematorium and formalised gardens would be well-designed, which would be a conclusion with which I would also agree. However, whilst I accept that the two proposed chimneys would in themselves appear as comparatively prominent features, I do not consider that they would significantly increase the overall prominence of the proposed development in the context of the landscape and the area. Furthermore, and as I have already concluded, the proposed landscaping and the topography of the appeal site would assist in mitigating any visual impact of the detailed design.
22. I have carefully considered the impact of the proposed development on the landscape character of the area, as well as the appropriateness of the proposed design. On the basis of the submitted evidence and my observations of the site, I would accept the conclusions of the LVIA to be reasonable and that the development would have a low to moderate landscape effect in respect of landscape character and would give rise to moderate visual effects. I am satisfied that the proposed detailed design would be of a high quality, and that the proposed chimneys would not result in a significant overall increase in the visual prominence of the development. Nevertheless, whilst I have had regard to the proposed mitigation of the impact that existing and proposed planting
5 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
would have, the proposal would result in an adverse landscape impact to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. This would conflict with Core Strategy policy CS8.2, which seeks to ensure the protection of the landscape, and that development is sympathetic to existing landscape character.
Tourism and rural business
23. The Council has expressed concern over the impact of the locational relationship between the proposed crematorium and surrounding business and tourism interests. In particular, the concerns have focussed on the visual relationship and proximity to Millness Hill Caravan Park and the nearby Longcroft Nursery, as well as the impact on users of the Lancaster canal footpath. Correspondence has also been received from interested parties in respect of the impact.
24. I have carefully considered the various submissions in respect of the relationship between the proposed development of the appeal site and the surrounding tourist and business uses. I have noted both the existing and proposed levels of landscaping and planting around the boundaries of the site, the location of proposed elements of the crematorium, as well as the visibility from various points surrounding the site, and I would agree with the Council’s assessment that the site would be filtered by landscaping to some degree at all times of the year. However, I do not consider that it would be possible to provide full visual mitigation of the proposed crematorium and grounds from surrounding land uses, particularly in the location of the Lancaster Canal Path where the topography of the land surrounding the appeal site allows an overview of the site and its activities. Furthermore, and irrespective of the effectiveness of the landscaping of the site, I am satisfied that there would be an undoubted awareness and perception of the activities associated with the site.
25. Despite my conclusions in this respect, I note that the evidence which has been submitted regarding the impact on tourist uses and local businesses is somewhat anecdotal. Whilst undoubtedly users of the Lancaster Canal Path will be aware of the crematorium in passing the site, I am not persuaded given the limited stretch of the overall canal path which passes the site that this would be likely to dissuade potential users and walkers from continuing to visit and enjoy access to the canal.
26. With regards to Millness Hill Caravan Park, whilst on the basis of my observations I do not consider the appeal site to be visible from large parts of the caravan park, I have had careful regard to the submissions of an interested party related to a dismissed appeal decision from 1999 for a crematorium off Gatebeck Lane, Endmoor, Cumbria. In this appeal, the Inspector concluded it likely that nearby tourist facilities would become less attractive because of negative public perceptions of Crematoria. I have also noted the testimony of an owner of a holiday lodge and submissions related to the economic benefits that can be derived from holiday/leisure park developments. However, whilst I accept that there may be the potential for some limited impact, I do not consider these submissions to be sufficiently compelling to draw the conclusion that the level of any impact from the development, would be so adverse as to be unacceptable. By the same token, I also have no conclusive basis on which
6 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
to determine that the business interests of the nursery will be affected to the extent that there would be an overall adverse impact.
27. I am mindful in reaching my conclusions on the impact of the proposed development, that paragraph 28 of the Framework in seeking to provide support for a prosperous rural economy, advocates support for economic growth in rural areas in order to create jobs and prosperity. In this respect, the proposed development would accord with national policy. I note that the paragraph 28 also seeks to ensure the promotion of a strong rural economy by supporting sustainable rural tourism, which is reflected in the Council’s economic aims as set out at Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy. In this respect, I accept that there may be the potential for some limited conflict with Policy CS5, albeit that this has not been conclusively demonstrated. Furthermore, any such conflict must also be considered in the balance of support for economic growth in rural areas.
Other Matters
Impact on Heritage Assets
28. In determining this appeal, I have a statutory duty, under Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, to consider the impact of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed structure affected, and its setting. I am also mindful that paragraph 132 of the Framework states that when considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. Paragraph 134 of the Framework confirms that where a development proposal would lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal. Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) confirms that what matters in assessing if a proposal causes substantial harm is the impact on the significance of the heritage asset, and that, in general terms, substantial harm is a high test and may not arise in many cases.
29. The heritage asset is a Grade II listed bridge over the Lancaster Canal dating from c.1816, and currently carrying the A65 road. The bridge is of limestone and features an elliptical arch, shallow arched parapets, with pilasters at each end, with steps up to the roadway. The significance of the heritage asset derives principally from its function as a means of bridging the Lancaster Canal, and there is no evidence before me that it possess any functional or historic relationship with the appeal site. Whilst I note that the bridge is located just to the north of the boundary of the appeal site, I would agree with the Council’s assessment that the intervening landform, as well as the existing and proposed landscaping including trees and hedges, would reduce the inter-visibility with the appeal site. As a consequence, I am satisfied that the significance of the heritage asset would not therefore be diminished by the proposal as it would not detract from the setting, and would not therefore conflict with the policies of the Framework which seek to conserve and enhance the historic environment.
Other Possible Harm
30. In addition to the above and the main issues, interested parties have also raised concerns over a number of other matters, including highway safety, the
7 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
appropriateness of the site in respect of existing sources of noise, the accessibility of the appeal site by alternative means of transport, the impact of the proposed development on ecology and flooding, and the potential impact of emissions from the crematorium.
31. In respect of highways, I have had regard to the conclusions drawn by the Council in conjunction with the Highways Agency, and Cumbria County Council as the Highway Authority. I note that further to concerns raised by the Highway Authority regarding the access arrangements that the appellant submitted revised plans to demonstrate the provision of a right turn filter lane including the widening of the highway, changes to the speed limit, and advanced directional signage. On this basis, and subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions, no objection has been raised to the proposed development by the Highway Authority. However, this conclusion has been reached on the premise that up to a maximum of four cremations would be undertaken at the site each day, which is consistent with the basis of assessment for traffic generation as set out within the appellant’s own Transport Statement.
32. With regards to whether the appeal site would provide a suitably tranquil location for a crematorium, I would acknowledge that the surrounding highway network is a major source of noise in the locality. However, ultimately I conclude that the impact of the existing noise environment is a matter for the operator of the crematorium to consider in respect of the appropriateness of the appeal site for the proposed use. This is not therefore a factor which I would regard as a reason for refusing the proposal.
33. Turning to the opportunities to travel to the site by alternative means of transport, despite the good accessibility to the local and strategic road network, it is clear from the appellant’s submissions that the availability of public transport to and from the site would be comparatively poor with only 7 bus services indicated on a daily basis, albeit that this is disputed as being only 4 services by the Parish Council. Furthermore, it is recognised within the appellant’s Transport Statement that mourners would be expected to travel to the crematorium either by taxi or private car. In this respect, it is clear that the appeal site possesses relatively limited accessibility to public transport as a consequence of its rural location, and as such that there would be conflict with Policy CS1.1 of the Core Strategy, which seeks to wherever possible, minimise the need to travel and provide a choice of sustainable transport modes for all sections of the community.
34. In respect of matters related to ecology and flooding, a phase I habitat survey accompanied the planning application, along with a flood risk assessment which assessed the surface water drainage of the site. Concerning ecological interest, the phase I habitat survey concluded that whilst some native hedgerow would be lost to facilitate the access to the appeal site, this would be compensated for by virtue of the replanting of native hedgerow elsewhere on the site, as well the planting of a large number of additional trees. I note that neither Natural England nor the Council has raised any technical concerns with the ecological work undertaken in support of the proposals, and I would agree with the conclusion that the overall scheme has the potential to improve the ecological value of the site.
8 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
35. With regards concerns over flooding, I have carefully considered the submissions of interested parties pertaining to recent incidences of flooding on part of the appeal site. However, this is clearly a consideration which has also been taken into account by both the appellant and the Council in reaching their conclusions on this matter, and I note that a condition has been suggested in order to secure a scheme of surface water disposal for both the site and the adjacent highway. I am also mindful that the Environment Agency has assessed the flood risk impacts resulting from the proposed development, but has not raised any objections in principle. As a consequence, I would agree that this is a matter which can be adequately secured through the use of planning conditions.
36. Concerns have been raised by interested parties over the potential impact of pollution and emissions from the crematorium, to the detriment of local residents and wildlife in the vicinity of the adjacent canal. In this respect, I have noted the absence of any technical representations from the Council’s Environmental Health/Protection team, and also the conclusion that there would be a negligible impact on air quality. I am also mindful that any emissions from the crematorium would be controlled by an Environmental Permit. Furthermore, in this respect I have also had regard to paragraph 122 of the Framework, which requires local planning authorities to assume that where the control of processes or emissions themselves are subject to approval under pollution control regimes, that those regimes will operate effectively.
37. I have also noted that concerns over the adequacy of the consultation exercise undertaken in connection with the proposed development have been raised. However, whilst I have had regard to this issue, I have concentrated my decision upon the planning merits of the appeal, and this is not therefore an issue which has had any bearing on my determination of the appeal.
Benefits of the scheme
38. The Council Plan 2013-2017 and the Delivery Plan, which sit alongside the main Development Plan documents, identify there to be a need for a crematorium in South Lakeland, with it acknowledged that there is a current reliance placed upon existing facilities at Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness, some considerable distance away for many residents. The issue of need represents common ground between the main parties, and whilst I have had regard to the submissions of interested parties on the same matter, no compelling evidence has been provided to counter the conclusions of the Council’s Delivery Plan. In this respect, the provision of a local crematorium would substantially reduce the need to travel for that purpose within South Lakeland. Whilst I am mindful of the recent planning permission for a crematorium at Beetham Hall, it cannot be assumed that this development will be implemented or that it will provide sufficient capacity to meet the quantitative need of South Lakeland. Furthermore, I note that the Council’s Delivery Plan has indicated the historic difficulties of establishing an appropriate site for a crematorium, and I therefore would conclude that addressing this identified social need would clearly be in the public benefit, and would add substantial weight in support of the proposals.
39. On the basis of the submitted evidence, the proposed development would provide four permanent jobs, as well as 15 temporary construction jobs, which even if the overall number of jobs is limited, would nevertheless support
9 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
economic growth in a rural area, which would be consistent with the underlying objective of paragraph 28 of the Framework. In respect of environmental benefits, it is highlighted that sustainable measures would be incorporated within the building design, and as has already been addressed, there would be an overall reduction in the need to travel long distances to the existing crematoria at Lancaster or Barrow-in-Furness. My attention has also been drawn to the biodiversity benefits arising from the enhanced and additional planting and landscaping of the site.
Planning Balance and Conclusion
40. I have concluded that the proposed development of the appeal site for a crematorium would result in an adverse landscape impact to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. I have also concluded that the proposals would have the potential to result in some limited conflict with local business interests and the tourism objectives of the Development Plan, and that the appeal site possesses only limited access to public transport. These are matters which cumulatively I would attach a moderate level of weight to.
41. Despite its rural setting, which I acknowledge to have taken into account the locational constraints imposed by existing legislation and the characteristics of the site, on the basis of the submitted evidence, and being mindful of the recent planning permission for a crematorium at Beetham Hall, I am satisfied that there remains both a quantitative and qualitative need for the provision of a crematorium within South Lakeland. This is a matter to which I attach substantial weight. I also recognise that the proposed development would provide some limited support for the rural economy, and would result in the potential for enhancement of biodiversity interests on the appeal site. Furthermore, the proposals would would not diminish the significance of the setting of the nearby listed building, and in respect of other possible harm identified by interested parties in relation to the proposed development, I conclude that none would be likely to result from the scheme.
42. Overall, I therefore conclude that the harm likely to be caused by the proposal would be outweighed by the benefits of the proposed development, and that for the reasons given above, and subject to the conditions attached, the appeal should be allowed.
Conditions
43. Turning to the suggested conditions, I have considered these in the light of paragraph 206 of the Framework. This paragraph sets out that planning conditions should only be imposed where they are necessary, relevant to planning and to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects.
44. I have added conditions related to timeliness and the identification of plans as they are necessary in the interest of proper planning and to provide certainty. In order to safeguard the appearance of the development and the countryside, conditions are necessary in respect of details and samples of external surface materials, the provision of a scheme of hard and soft landscaping, as well as details of external lighting, which would also be necessary to safeguard adjoining land uses. In this respect, conditions related to the submission and implementation of a Construction Method Statement, controls over operational hours and delivery times would also be necessary.
10 Appeal Decision APP/M0933/W/15/3135605
45. In respect of operational controls, I have had regard to the appellant’s submissions, and I see no reason why a start time of 0830 rather than 0900 would be unacceptable Monday to Friday. Nevertheless, whilst I have noted the appellant’s contention regarding the need for flexibility in the daily numbers of funerals that may take place, I do not consider in the light of the assessment criteria employed in the various supporting technical reports regarding the impact of the proposed development, that it would be unreasonable of the Council to seek to restrict the maximum number of daily events on a similar basis.
46. Schemes of surface and foul water disposal would be necessary in the interests of the environmental management of the site, as would details of proposed floor levels, and a scheme to remove suspended solids from surface water run- off during construction works. Conditions related to the submission of a Construction Method Statement, the provision of a pedestrian and vehicular access to the surrounding highway would be necessary in the interests of highway safety. A condition securing the implementation of a programme of work would be in the interest of the archaeological and heritage interest of the site. M Seaton INSPECTOR

Appendix PB2 Extracts from Cremation Directory 2016
Appendix PB3 Technical Note – Drive Times DTA, 3 February 2017
Wergs Crematorium Technical Note – Drive Times
______
1. Introduction
1.1 My name is Simon John Tucker. I am a Director of DTA Transportation Ltd, Transportation Planning Consultants. The consultancy specialises in expert advice on transport related issues throughout a broad range of projects for both the public and private sector. I have 17 years' experience in the field of Transport Planning.
1.2 I have been instructed by Dignity UK Ltd to prepare this note as a supplement to the proof of evidence of Mr Burley in support of a planning appeal against the refusal by South Staffordshire Council ("the Council") to grant planning permission for a crematorium ("the Scheme") on land adjacent to Holyhead Road, Wergs, South Staffordshire ("the Site"). The Council also refused planning permission for a crematorium ("the Essington Scheme") proposed by Westerleigh Group Ltd ("Westerleigh") on land at Essington, South Staffordshire ("the Essington Site"). The appeals in respect of the Scheme and the Essington Scheme are being heard at a conjoined inquiry commencing on 7 March 2017.
1.3 Mr Burley sets out his assumptions as to the catchment area of the Scheme based on a geographical area as identified by drive times (which I detail below) and the application of a gravity, which is explained further in his evidence. This note only relates to the identification of the geographical area, insofar as it is based upon 30 minute drive times. The methodology that I have applied in identifying drive times is the same at that which has been adopted by Westerleigh.
1.4 To supplement and inform the basis of the catchment area identified within the evidence of Mr Burley, I have prepared drive time catchment plans. These plans are based on journey time travelled from the Site (as well as relevant existing crematoria and the Essington Site).
2. Methodology
2.1 The location of existing crematoria (as well as the Site and the Essington Site) have been plotted based on their postal addresses (using their post code) within Geographical Information System software licenced from ESRI. The Geographical Information System software includes road network analysis tools with a dynamic traffic map service using historical, live and predictive traffic feeds from HERE (www.here.com). Together this data allows the catchment of any particular point, in this case crematoria, to be determined for any given drive time duration informed by live or historic measured traffic speeds.-
2.2 Clearly, traffic speeds vary by time of day and day of the week but, other than at peak hours, there is little variation in flow speeds across the day. As such, typical speeds based on a start time at 12 noon on a Monday have been adopted as a proxy for day- to-day off-peak network conditions. This provides a consistent basis for all crematoria sites.
2.3 In terms of drive time duration, it is established practise to adopt a 30 minute drive time as a catchment area, on the assumption that the cortege would travel at
SJT/17361-04 1st February 2017
Wergs Crematorium Technical Note – Drive Times
______
approximately 60% of ‘normal’ driving speeds. Mr Burley provides details of relevant planning appeal decisions.
2.4 Mr Budd, on behalf of Westerleigh, has also adopted the 30 minute drive time catchment and also assumes cortege speeds at 60% of the speed limit. This is supported by a validation exercise undertaken by Mr Budd using a hearse.
2.5 Mr Budd also assumes that within the 30 minute travel time, it is necessary to include for the undertaker to walk in front of the hearse and for the cortege to stop occasionally to allow vehicles separated at junctions to ‘catch up’. The result of these effects is that the net vehicle travelling time, within the 30 minute catchment, is reduced to 20 ½ minutes. For consistency, I have also adopted this approach.
2.6 As set out above, the Geographical Information System Software bases journey catchment on recorded vehicle speed data. As such, to allow for the reduced speed of the cortege, the catchment areas identified below have been based on a 12.3 minute journey time (i.e. 60% of 20 ½ minutes). The resulting catchment areas for the existing crematoria, the Site and the Essington Scheme are presented in plan form at Appendix A.

These statistics are no longer available for the former local authority districts abolished in 2009. Mid-year population estimates (MYEs) are also not available for the former local authority districts abolished in 2009. The publication of death statistics and MYEs for current local authorities only is consistent with the way in which 2011 Census statistics for local authorities are being published. 2 The deaths of those whose usual residence is outside England and Wales are included in 'total registrations' but excluded from any sub-division of England and Wales. 3 County Durham UA comprises the former districts of Chester-le-Street, Derwentside, Durham, Easington, Sedgefield, Teesdale and Wear Valley (abolished 2009). 4 Northumberland UA comprises the former districts of Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth Valley, Castle Morpeth, Tynedale and Wansbeck (abolished 2009). 5 Cheshire East UA comprises the former districts of Congleton, Crewe and Nantwich and Macclesfield (abolished 2009). 6 Cheshire West and Chester UA comprises the former districts of Chester, Ellesmere Port & Neston and Vale Royal (abolished 2009). 7 Shropshire UA comprises the former districts of Bridgnorth, North Shropshire, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Atcham and South Shropshire (abolished 2009). 8 Bedford UA comprises the former district of Bedford (abolished 2009). 9 Central Bedfordshire UA comprises the former districts of Mid Bedfordshire and South Bedfordshire (abolished 2009). 10 Cornwall UA comprises the former districts of Caradon, Carrick, Kerrier, North Cornwall, Penwith and Restormel (abolished 2009). 11 The Isles of Scilly were recoded on 1 April 2009.
