BRECKLAND COUNCIL - DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE

PLANNING POLICY NOTE

THE STRENGTH OF PLANNING POLICY IN DETERMINING PLANNING APPLICATIONS

The Planning process is set up, IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, to protect the public from the unacceptable planning activities of private individuals and development companies. Planning is primarily concerned to deal with issues of land use and the way they affect the environment.

The Council has a DUTY, through the Town & Planning Acts, to prepare a Local Development Framework (LDF) to provide a statutory framework for planning decisions, some LDF policies now carry significant weight.

Breckland’s Plan contains the Council’s planning policies, which must be consistent with Government guidance, particularly with the Planning Policy Guidance (PPGs) and Planning Policy Statements (PPSs).

The full public scrutiny of the Council’s proposals will give the Plan an exceptional weight when dealing with planning applications.

This shift towards a “Plan-led” planning system is a major feature of recent planning legislation. The Town & Country Planning Act 1990, states that planning applications should be determined in accordance with the policies of the Plan, unless material considerations which are relevant to planning indicate otherwise.

PPG1 summarises the objectives of the “plan-led” system as:- • achieving greater certainty; • ensuring rational & consistent decisions; • securing public involvement in shaping local planning policies; • facilitating quicker planning decision; and • reducing the number of misconceived planning applications and appeals. Unless there are special reasons to do otherwise, planning permissions “run with the land”, and are NOT personal licences.

The factors to be used in determining applications will relate to the effect on the “public at large” and will NOT be those that refer to private interests.

Personal circumstances of applicants “will rarely” be an influencing factor, and then, only when the planning issues are “finely balanced”.

THEREFORE we will: • acknowledge the strength of our policies, • be consistent in the application of our policy, and • if we need to adapt our policy, we should do it through the Local Plan process.

Decisions which are finely balanced, and which contradict policy will be recorded in detail, to explain and justify the decision, and the strength of the material planning reasons for doing so.

LOCAL COUNCILS OCCASIONALLY, THERE ARE CONFLICTS WITH THE VIEWS OF THE PARISH OR TOWN COUNCIL. WHY IS THIS?

We ask local parish and town councils to recognise that all comments received are taken into account. Where we disagree with those comments it will be because:

• Districts look to “wider” policies, and national, regional and county planning strategy. • Other consultation responses may have affected our recommendation. • There is an honest difference of opinion.

123/09 LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (AGENDA ITEM 7)

The Development Services Manager told Members that the Examination in Public had been completed. It had gone well and he congratulated the Planning Policy Team for doing a good job. The Inspectors first report was expected on 30 September 2009.

Work was continuing on the Site Specifics and the second round of public consultation for the Thetford Area Action Plan had been completed and the responses would be considered at the meeting of the Moving Thetford Forward Board on 6 August 2009.

Agenda Items 8a (Swaffham) and 8b (Hockham) had been deferred. Minute No 122/09 refers.

125/09 WATTON: 119 ROAD: PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR S & A JONES DEVELOPMENTS LTD: APPLICATION REFERENCE: 3PL/2009/0350/F (AGENDA ITEM 9)

This item had been withdrawn. Minute No 122/09 refers.

126/09 SCHEDULE OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS (AGENDA ITEM 10)

RESOLVED that the applications be determined as follows:

(a) Item 1: 3PL/2009/0341/F: : Land to rear of Holly Cottage, Chapel Street: Erection of two dwellings and garages, conversion of existing office to residential, demolition of existing garage and erect new for Mr D Batch

This application for residential development involved the demolition of the garage to No 4 St Peter’s Close to provide an access road for two new houses (one 3 bed and one 4 bed) and the conversion of an existing building with permission for office use, to residential.

Concerns raised included highway safety, overlooking, noise and disturbance and loss of privacy.

No objections had been received from the Highways Authority and the parking provision complied with the required standard of two spaces per dwelling.

Mr Smith, Vice-Chairman of the Parish Council, said that they had a policy to support suitable housing development in the village to help with the viability of the school, shop and pub. However, this application was considered to be backland development which was unsuitable and would not enhance the form and character of the village and would set an unwelcome precedent. It would have a detrimental effect on neighbouring amenity and due to inadequate parking provision would lead to the spread of parking on roadsides and verges.

Mr Smith, Ward Representative, agreed with the Vice-Chairman’s comments. He said that when the St Peter’s Close development 2 Development Control Committee 3 August 2009

Action By

had been approved they had been assured that it would not be allowed to expand. The road was only 14’ wide and if the development was approved, it would have to serve twice the number of properties it was designed for. Headlights from the access road would shine straight into the windows of No 2 St Peter’s Close.

A Member asked for clarification of the plot size for the conversion and it was noted that this was very tight. After discussion it was proposed and seconded that the application should be refused.

Refused, contrary to recommendation, on grounds of overdevelopment and being out of character with the area.

(b) Item 2: 3PL/2009/0350/F: Watton: 119 Norwich Road: Demolition of existing bungalow and redevelopment of site with residential development and ancillary works for S & A Jones Developments Ltd

Withdrawn – Minute No 122/09 refers.

(c) Item 3: 3PL/2009/0446/F: Swanton Morley: Park Farm: Temporary standing of caravan for Mr A McBride

This application for the permanent standing of a caravan and its occupation for eleven months of the year was considered under policy PPS7, which required evidence of need. No such evidence had been provided and therefore the application was recommended for refusal.

Mr Atterwill, Chairman of the Parish Council, fully supported the application. The applicant was a hardworking window cleaner and a refusal would impact on his business.

Mrs Griffith Thompson, supporter, said that one reason for refusal referred to isolated dwellings in the countryside, but in fact this site was closer to key services than some of the dwellings in the village. She said that the applicant (a former traveller) did not wish to live in a house. He had built up his window cleaning business and the site was central to that. He had lived there for nine years without complaint.

The Development Services Manager explained that they had been in discussions with the owner of the site for a number of years. The site had permission for holiday accommodation only and there had been a number of persons living on the site. Granting permission for a permanent residence on the site could lead to an application for a dwelling at a later stage.

A Member asked where the applicant would stay for the 12 th month and was told that he would visit family in Yorkshire for that time and that the caravan would remain on site.

Members wanted to support this application and they discussed the possible options. The Development Services Manager suggested that they could approve it on a temporary basis and make it personal to the applicant. However, Members felt that a permanent personal permission was appropriate, for the reasons that this 3 Development Control Committee 3 August 2009

Action By

touring caravan was on an existing caravan site and that the applicant had settled there and built up his business in the area.

Approved, contrary to the recommendation, the permanent siting of the caravan for residential occupation for 11 months of the year. The permission to be personal to Mr McBride.

(d) Item 4: Dereham: Land off South Green, Toftwood: Residential Development for Gladedale Homes Ltd

This reserved matters application for 16 dwellings was on a site just south of the A47 flyover. The existing dwelling on the site had been demolished.

The layout generally conformed with the outline proposal and comprised a two bed cottage and an apartment block of four units fronting the Road, with a terrace and two separate units to the rear. Parking worked out at 1.6 spaces per unit. The design was a considerable improvement on previous submissions and the Tree and Countryside Officer had accepted the tree scheme.

A Member acknowledged that the buildings fronting the road had improved a great deal but he felt that those to the rear were unacceptable, as was the level of parking provision which he felt would lead to overflow parking on the site opposite.

Another Member suggested that the appearance of the terrace could be improved by the use of high quality materials and it was agreed that these could be conditioned.

Members then sought assurance that the trees to the rear of the site would be protected and managed.

Approved, as recommended, subject to additional conditions to specify materials.

(f) Item 5: Bradenham: Land at Wood Farm, Church Lane: Installation of a 70m meteorological monitoring mast for a temporary period of two years for Next Generation Limited

Mr Labouchere declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item and left the room whilst it was discussed. Mr Daines also declared an interest as a local resident and left the room.

Members were shown a plan of the proposed siting of the mast, with the site of the previous mast and the two wind turbines refused on appeal also marked.

Objections had been raised in connection with the detrimental effect on local residents and listed buildings; the effect on wildlife and because the application was a precursor to wind turbines.

Officers considered that the slender appearance of the mast would not compromise the visual quality of the location.

Mr Kidd, representing the Campaign Against Turbines in Shipdham and (CATSS) said that proposals for wind turbines on the 4 Development Control Committee 3 August 2009

Action By site had been going on for over seven years and this was just a precursor to another application for turbines which was a waste of public time and money.

Mr Hoare, objector, wished to hand out a summary of his points but the Solicitor said it was too late to introduce new information. Mr Hoare said that he lived in one of the closest houses to the application site. He said that there were three reasons to refuse the application: 1) the introduction of industrial machinery contrary to Policies ENV3 and ENV22; 2) being out of character and scale; and 3) contrary to ENV6 for the protection of habitat.

Mr Hill, Chairman of Shipdham Parish Council, said that Ecotricity had been through a long process and had been turned down three times already for wind turbines. He could not understand why they should need more information when they had already had a mast in the vicinity for two years.

Mr Hewett, Ward Representative, said that the Policy Note on the Agenda said that the planning process was set up to protect the public from unacceptable development. He said there was no valid reason for the application. He also disagreed with facts concerning the size and position of the mast and on what wildlife was on site.

The Solicitor advised Members that despite the comments made about turbines they must look at this application alone and assess the effect of the mast on its surroundings. He then mentioned a letter received from a solicitor, sent on behalf of neighbours, which had been received late in the previous week. The letter raised various points including:

− Was further wind speed data required? Ecotricity said it was. − Does paragraph 32 of PPS 22 apply? The Solicitor considered it did. − Is red line correct and does it extend to county road? The red line was shown to Members, and did extend to the county road. − Is ownership of land known? The Certificate of Ownership was correct as far as the Council was concerned. − Original advertisement incorrect. Yes – originally the advertisement stated 50m mast but all interested parties were notified of change to 70m. − Grid reference for siting incorrect? Exact siting shown on plan, shown to Members. − Within 20m of watercourse? No effect on this application. − Application states no protected or priority species on site, but there are bats and migrating swans; also protection of birds not considered. Agreed that the presence of bats was established at the Inquiry and there might be a need to consult Natural and the RSPB. Previously RSPB were only concerned about possible bird strike and requested a condition for bird deflectors on the guy wires, this would be conditioned again.

The Agent was asked to clarify why the mast was needed and 5 Development Control Committee 3 August 2009

Action By

he explained that at the last inquiry a deficiency in the data was highlighted. This mast would give them the opportunity to address that.

Members then asked the following questions:

− What was the nearest residential property? The nearest property was approximately 700m from the mast. − How close is the nearest Listed Building? Approximately 1.3kms away in the centre of Shipdham. − What is the width of the mast? About 30cm across. − Are the buildings at Wood Farm in the control of the applicant? No, owners live elsewhere. − How many anemometers on the mast and how far apart? Three, at 20m, 50m and 70m.

Finally a Member suggested that the approval should be limited to one year only and this was agreed. On the casting vote of the Chairman the application was:

Approved for a temporary period of one year, subject to further consultation with the RSPB concerning birds and with Natural England concerning bats.

If these consultations raised any points of concern, the application would be brought back to the Committee.

(g) Item 6: Swanton Morley: Burgh Common, Worthing Road: Construction of angling platforms and connected recycled boardwalk and 3 stand alone platforms for Dr R Dryden

This application, on a site to the north of the village, proposed the siting of three 1.8m x 1.8m angling platforms and three 1.5m x 1.5m stand-alone platforms to provide safer access for fishermen.

The Highways Authority objected to the proposal because it did not provide facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and disabled persons; and did not include any on-site parking provision. Existing passing bays would be used by persons accessing the site causing potential highway safety issues.

Mr Atterwill, Chairman of Swanton Morley Parish Council, did not agree with the Highway comments. On-site parking would not be easy to provide because the ground sloped down to the river, and would be likely to encourage undesirables.

Mr Church, Chairman of the Wensum Fisheries Action Plan, said that they were working to improve the river. He said that the fishermen already used the site and the platforms would provide safer access. They would not cause an increase in the amount of fishermen using the site – that was determined by the number of fish in the river.

Mr Worsfold, NCC Highways representative, said that the most appropriate way to provide parking would be perpendicular to the highway, between the carriageway and the river. He agreed that the road was about 3m wide and that the passing bays were not 6 Development Control Committee 3 August 2009

Action By

adopted and had been created by vehicles over time.

One Member spoke in support of the need to keep the passing bays clear. He used the lane regularly and was concerned that highway safety would be affected if the application was approved.

Approved, contrary to recommendation, on the grounds that the proposal would not alter the amount of traffic and that no on-site parking was required.

REPORT OF DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE (Author: Jayne Owen (Senior Development Control Officer)

SWANTON MORLEY: ADJ SWANTON MORLEY DOCTORS SURGERY AND LINCOLN HOUSE CARE HOME

Applicant: Dr Sanjay Kaushal Reference: 3PL/2009/0242/F

This report concerns a planning application which seeks planning permission for a 30 bed care unit at Lincoln House Nursing Home, Swanton Morley. Outline planning permission establishing the principles of this development was granted under reference number 3PL/2006/0332/O. This permission also established the principle of 24 high dependency assisted care living units and communal hall. Full details of the application are set out in the original committee report (attached).

The original proposal was deferred following members concerns regarding the size of roof proposed for the building and the design proposed generally. Amended plans have been submitted which show a significant reduction in the height and scale of the roof together with improvements to the design including the incorporation of bay windows, porches, conservatory additions and features added to the roofscape with the intention of providing for improved visual interest.

The Parish Council have been reconsulted on the amended details and their comments will be reported to members verbally.

RECOMMENDATION: It is considered that the amendments are a significant improvement on the earlier submission and it is therefore recommended that permission is granted subject to conditions.

PROPOSAL: Proposed warehouse extension including new parking, turning & loading area

KEY ISSUES 1. Need & use of the development 2. Visual impact 3. Impact on amenity 4. Highway safety

DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT The proposal seeks full planning permission to extend an existing commercial building to provide additional warehousing, relocation of the offices and to provide a loading, turning area and formal car parking area. The extension is to the side of the existing building to the rear of the site. The proposal will provide a larger storage area and enable the materials which are currently stored on the forecourt and adjacent the access to be stored internally.

SITE AND LOCATION The existing building is used for the retail and packaging of pet food and the retail of equine, pet and gardening products. The site is located outside a Settlement Boundary on Cressingham Road, close to the junction with the B1077 Watton to Swaffham Road. The two dwellings immediately to the east, adjacent the site, are owned and occupied in connection with the business. To the north is open countryside.

DC131 13 BRECKLAND COUNCIL - DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - 02-09-2009

RELEVANT SITE HISTORY Permission was granted for the establishment of the current business on the site in 1995. Further extensions were approved in 1995 and 2008. The original building has a condition imposed limiting the use of the building for use in connection with the animal boarding and animal feed business of Su-Bridge only.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS The following National Planning Guidance and/or Saved Policies of the Breckland Local Plan and/or Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Proposed Submission Document have been taken into consideration in the determination of this application: ECO.5: Economic Development outside Settlement Boundaries will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances.

CONSULTATIONS SAHAM TONEY P C No objection

REPRESENTATIONS One letter of objection has been received raising concern regarding an increase in traffic and existing noise from the site regarding use of PA system and fork lift horns.

DC131 14 BRECKLAND COUNCIL - DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - 02-09-2009

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The proposal is referred to Development Control Committee as it is a Major application. * The proposal seeks planning permission for an extension to an existing business that is situated outside a Settlement Boundary or employment area. Policy ECO 5 indicates that,outside these areas, permission for commercial development will only be granted in exceptional circumstances where there are particular reasons for the development not being located on an established industrial estate. * It is considered that the extension is subsidiary to the existing business and it would not be reasonable to expect the business to relocate. The applicant has indicated that relocation to an employment area has been investigated but no appropriate sites have been available. Also, he has indicated that the workforce is all local to the site, significant investment is tied up in the building which has a restricted use, and the adjacent dwellings are occupied in connection with the business which provide security * The extension would not be located in a prominent position. It is located to the rear of the site and behind the applicant's garden therefore there would be minimal impact when viewed from Cressingham Road. The site is well screened along the northern boundary by an existing hedge. This boundary is to be supplemented by additional tree planting. The extension is to be cut into the rising land of the site to ensure that the ridgeline is no higher than the existing building. The building, as extended, will not result in a significant intrusion into the countryside when viewed from the north across the fields. * The proposal will not generate any significant traffic movements. There will be no increase in the size of on-site retail activities. The extension is to increase the capacity for storage and to provide an improved loading/ unloading area to the rear of the site thereby removing the current conflict with customer parking. Larger delivery vehicles can be accommodated thereby reducing the number of delivery vehicles visiting the site. * The extension will remove the current external storage on the forecourt area which will visually enhance the premises when viewed from Cressingham Road. * The site is currently well screened from the neighbouring properties by existing planting and walls. Additional planting is proposed on the blue land to further reduce the impact of the proposal on the amenity of these dwellings. * The proposal is considered to be in accordance with policy and is recommended for approval.

PROPOSAL: Creation of new vehicle access (using the existing access permission granted 1998) to A1065

KEY ISSUES 1. Highway safety 2. Impact on character and appearance of Conservation Area

DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT The application seeks full planning permission to create a new vehicle access (using the existing access permission granted in 1998) to the A1065.

SITE AND LOCATION The site is located within a rural area on the edge of the village of Hilborough. The site is the curtilage to 33 Westgate Street. To the north of the site are existing residential properties and to the east are a number of outbuildings to 67 Westgate Street. The access is proposed to serve an existing garage to the rear of 33 Westgate Street.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS The following National Planning Guidance and/or Saved Policies of the Breckland Local Plan and/or Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Proposed Submission Document have been taken into consideration in the determination of this application: TRA.5: Highway safety PPG15: Planning and the Historic Environment

CONSULTATIONS HILBOROUGH P C Objection: Development of new vehicle access would be detrimental to road safety on A1065 HIGHWAY AUTHORITY - No objection on the basis that the access is sought purely to serve the existing garage. If approved, it is likely that there will be no increase in vehicle movements above the level that would have used the originally approved access (some 30m south west)if rights of passage for the applicant remained. From inspection of the site it would appear adequate visibility splays of 120m can be provided at the proposed access in both directions (from a 2,4m setback distance).

COUNCIL'S TREE AND COUNTRYSIDE OFFICER- Impact on SPA - It is unlikely that the proposal would have a significant effect on the stone curlew special interest feature of the SPA. Trees - The proposal is within the Hilborough Conservation Area and would result in the loss of some small trees. However, the overall impact would not be great and can be incorporated in the normal course of garden landscaping.

COUNCIL'S HISTORIC BUILDINGS OFFICER - The indicative plan shows a gateway, which will probably require piers of some sort - details required. Preference for simple posts and a traditional 5 bar gate arrangements rather than anything more elaborate given the context.

NATURAL ENGLAND- No comments

NORFOLK WILDLIFE TRUST - No comments received

REPRESENTATIONS Three letters have been received raising the following issues:- Impact of new opening to A1065 rear of property will compromise the security of workshops/storage therein If approved, request condition that a new 2m high fence be installed on party boundary and that it is solely to serve access to a non-habitable building at the rear of the existing property. Existing access serves land in third party ownership. Proposal is, therefore, for an additional access onto the A1065 Highway safety

DC131 17 BRECKLAND COUNCIL - DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - 02-09-2009

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The proposal is referred to Development Control Committee at the request of the Ward Representative * The site is outside the Settlement Boundary of the village of Hilborough and within the Conservation Area. * The proposal is to create a new access point serving land within the applicant's ownership in order to access an existing triple garage within the curtilage of 33 Westgate Street. * The main issues which require consideration relate principally to highway safety and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. * The site history is of particular relevance in assessing this proposal, in particular, in 1998, planning permission was given at this site for the erection of garages and garden store served by an access 30 m south of the application site via the adjacent field which is in third party ownership. The third party owner revoked her permission for this access to be used in 2007 and the applicant can no longer access the approved garage, using this access. In 2007 an application was made to convert the triple garage to a dwelling and to extend it to provide kitchen, hall and bedroom. This application was refused by the Council on the grounds that: "By virtue of the position and extended size of the proposed dwelling, the development fails to enhance the immediate locality which is characterised by close-knit development in an attractive rural location and as such would compromise the existing character and appearance of the locality. Furthermore, the proposal would result in the loss of off-road parking to 33 Westgate Street which would necessitate on-street parking, and would therefore be detrimental to highway safety and the visual amenities of the locality". The application was the subject of an appeal which was subsequently dismissed. The inspector noted that planning permission was granted for the existing building to be served by an access via the adjacent field but also noted that no access driveway had been surfaced and that there was no requirement for surfacing as part of that consent. He concluded that the surfacing of a long driveway within the conservation area, and partially outside the settlement limit across a field and garden would not enhance the form and character of the village and its setting as required by Local Plan Policy HOU.4 and that the development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hilborough conservation area. However, with regard to off street parking he noted that whilst the use of the site for an independent dwelling would remove the possibility of off-street parking at the rear for No 33 this would only reinstate the situation that existed before access was allowed via the field at the rear and he did not feel that this was a significant issue. * With regard to the surfacing of the driveway, the applicant states this was laid on a hardcore and chalk base in 1999/2000 following the 1998 consent. The driveway is now overgrown. Notwithstanding this, should Members be minded to grant consent, a condition may be attached requiring details of any further proposed surfacing to be submitted to, and agreed in writing with, the Local Planning Authority. * It should also be noted that permitted development rights exist for provision within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse of a hard surface for any purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such; or the replacement in whole or in part of such a surface. In other words, the area of the much shorter driveway currently proposed could be hard surfaced under permitted development legislation even if permission was refused for the access. * A condition may also be attached requiring full details of any access gate to provided at the access point to be submitted and agreed by the Local Planning Authority and to provide for simple posts/5 bar gate arrangement as requested by the Council's Historic Buildings Officer. * In conclusion, the Highways Authority raise no objection to the proposed development on highway safety grounds and it is considered that there are no other material planning considerations which would warrant a refusal of planning permission. It is, therefore, considered

that the application is acceptable in planning policy terms and approval is recommended, subject to conditions.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS The following National Planning Guidance and/or Saved Policies of the Breckland Local Plan and Development Control Policies Proposed Submission Document have been taken into consideration in the determination of this application: PPS1: Delivering Sustainable Development TRA.5: Highway safety DC1: Amenity

CONSULTATIONS THETFORD T C No objection, with the proposal welcomed on aesthetic and educational grounds.

REPRESENTATIONS None received.

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The application is referred to the Development Control Committee as the application site is owned by Breckland Council. * It is evident that by virtue of its modest height and bulk coupled with its simple design, the sculpture would not compromise the character and appearance of this part of Staniforth Road or be detrimental to neighbour amenity ie light, outlook or privacy. * It is not considered that the modest nature of the sculpture would not distract drivers and therefore would not compromise highway safety. * No other concerns or issues have been raised. * In conclusion it is considered that the proposal complies with the relevant planning policy requirements and is therefore recommended for approval.
