The Demolition of 1 Existing Dwelling and Erection of 25 Market and Affordable Dwellings, with Associated Access, Car Parking and Landscaping WILTSHIRE COUNCIL Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Town and Country Planning Act (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010 Town and Country Planning (Hearings Procedure) (England) Rules 2000 Statement of Compliance of Section 106 Obligations with Regulation 122 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 Site: Land at Pavenhill, Pavenhill, Purton Description: the demolition of 1 existing dwelling and erection of 25 market and affordable dwellings, with associated access, car parking and landscaping Appellant: Mr Nick King of Hills Homes Developments Ltd Appeal Reference: APP/Y3940/W/17/3166533 LPA Application No: 16/03625/FUL Appeal Start Date: 17th March 2017 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This statement is to be read in conjunction with Wiltshire Council’s Statement of Case relating planning obligations (refusal reason 5 of Decision Notice reference 16/03625/FUL) and the detailed obligations contained within the S106 agreement prepared by the appellant and the Council. 1.2 The parties reached agreement on the terms and obligations set out in the draft S106 agreement since the determination of the application dated 17th November 2016. The Council consider the obligations to be CIL and framework compliant and lawful. The Council and Developer have continued to liaise with one another in respect of the drafting of the S106 Agreement in the period since the submission of the appeal. 1.3 The agreement is in an agreed form and the terms, conditions and covenants contained therein are considered appropriate and acceptable. The document will be signed and sealed for submission prior to the required submission date of 7th May 2017. 2.0 Policy 2.1 Core Policy 3 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy sets out the Wiltshire Council framework for assessing the need for developer contributions towards infrastructure. This policy is supported by a combination of a suite of specific policies in the Wiltshire Core Strategy that consider infrastructure items, complementary guidance and evidence base strategy documents, namely: - North Wiltshire Open Space Study adopted 2004 - Wiltshire Council Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document - Wiltshire Council Waste and Collection Supplementary Planning Document (draft) 2.2 On the basis of the above justification the infrastructure items listed below are those that are relevant to the appeal scheme and are required in order to mitigate the impact of the proposed scheme, in line with the tests set under Regulation 122 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 and paragraph 204 of the National Planning Policy Framework “The Framework”. 2.3 The Council and Developer have worked jointly on preparation of a draft Section 106 agreement on the basis that the planning obligations contained therein are: a) Necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; b) Directly related to the development; and c) Fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 2.4 The statement sets out an overview explanation providing justification for requiring the contributions 3.0 OBLIGATIONS/SCHEDULES Open Space & Play Spaces 3.1 As required by Saved Policy CF3 of the North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011, the submitted Site Plan comprises contributions to open spaces and play spaces on site. 3.2 The scale of development generates the need for 1,806 square metres of open space provision of which 171 square metres should be Play Area. The submitted Proposed Site Plan provides the required 1,806 square metres of open space and 171 of Play Area. 3.3 Schedule 3 Part I of the agreement sets out provisions for the installation and for its management and maintenance under private management company provision. Schedule 3 Part II allows the Open and Play Spaces to be transferred to a nominee. 3.4 The open space and play space obligation is considered to be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development proposed and is reasonable in scale and kind to the development and therefore compliant with CIL Regulation 122 and the duplicate tests set out in paragraph 204 of the NPPF. Affordable Housing 3.5 The Council considers the delivery of affordable housing at 40% fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development and necessary to make the development acceptable in planning policy terms with regards to Core Policy 43 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. The tenure mix of 60% Affordable rent and 40% shared ownership affordable housing has been agreed to allow for provision of a dwelling mix that is reflective of current and anticipated housing needs in the Purton locality where a housing need has been identified by the Council Housing Services Team. These requirements, along with the agreed housing mix, are reflected and addressed in the terms and provisions as set out in Schedule 1 of the draft S106 Agreement. 3.6 For the above reasons the proposed affordable housing provision the proposed affordable housing provision satisfies Wiltshire Core Strategy objectives as required by Core Policy 43 and 45 of the adopted Wiltshire Core Strategy and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document and is considered to be CIL Regulation 122 compliant and in accord with paragraph 204 of the NPPF. Provision of Waste Facilities – £2,276 3.7 Section 10 of Wiltshire Council’s Planning Obligations SPG outlines that waste and recycling container will be taken via s106 agreement relating to each development. The Council Waste Storage and Collection SPD states the requirement of a contribution of £91 per dwelling giving a total of £2,275 for the proposed 25 units. As such the required obligation is considered to be CIL regulation 122 complaint and in accordance with paragraph 204 of the NPPF. Contents 1.

INTRODUCTION Background 1.1 Various Council documents, including the Leisure Plan (2001 - 2007) and the Best Value Review (2000), have indicated the need for the completion of a Countryside and Open Space Strategy, as a necessary document for the guidance of policy in the provision and management of open space, and towards the countryside. 1.2 With this in mind the Council is currently preparing a Countryside and Open Space Strategy that will direct the Council policy towards leisure and recreation in the countryside, and management of open space. To a large extent that Strategy will be informed by this Open Space Study, which identifies current provision and offers recommendations for future provision and management. This Study will be taken as material consideration in the planning of new open space and proposed development on existing open space. 1.3 The recent highlighting of open space as a national issue and the recent updating in 2002 of Planning Policy Guidance Note 17: Sport, Open Space and Recreation, has created a resurgence of interest in the management of open space following many years of decline. This is, in part, due to the realisation of the many benefits that access to open space has on people’s lives, far beyond the leisure opportunities.

This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area. Kevin and Richard can be contacted at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambs., PE17 2LS. Tel. 01487 773381.Fax. 01487 773467. Email; [email protected] Innovation is complemented by continuity. Rob Randall’s article continues his account of the history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included.

  • Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, Pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical
    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical Society was founded in 1992. A large group of enthusiasts had been recruited and trained to observe and record wild plants in Wiltshire during the work for the 1993 Flora of Wiltshire. It was felt to be important to maintain this joint interest and activity. The Society was therefore inaugurated to act as a focus for its continuation. The aims of the Society, as enshrined it its constitution, are; • To encourage anyone interested in plants, both beginners and knowledgeable botanists. • To be a forum where members can learn more about plants and exchange ideas and information, eg by holding field and indoor meetings and by producing a newsletter. • To organize projects and working groups to study aspects of the Wiltshire flora. • To encourage a respect for and conservation of the Wiltshire flora and habitats. • To study and extend knowledge of the Wiltshire flora. The Society has maintained its membership, which now numbers 80-90, and has organized a consistently interesting programme of events. An informative and interesting newsletter has appeared regularly. A wide range of detailed work on the Wiltshire flora has been undertaken. To encourage and coordinate this work, a Science Group was set up in 1994. Its aims, summarized from the more comprehensive account in its minutes, are: • To encourage, advise and guide recording activities. • To play a part in the planning of meetings and workshops to maximise their educational impact. To facilitate identification of plant material. • To organize and publish records. • To ensure that surveys and other projects are carried out in as effective and scientific a manner as possible.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.
