Committee Report COMMITTEE REPORT Application Ref. 15/00229/VARY Applicant Mr R. Smith Reason for Referral Objection from Ward Member to Committee Objection from Parish Council Case Officer Eleanor Bass Presenting Officer Eleanor Bass Ward Member Councillor S Adams Parish Council Temple Grafton Site Address Field View, Croft Lane, Temple Grafton Variation of condition 1 (personal occupancy) and variation of condition 2 (temporary permission) of planning permission 10/01181/FUL (Change of use of land to a five plot residential Description of gypsy caravan site, limited to five mobile homes, five day rooms, Development five touring caravans, ancillary parking and hardstanding areas, new tarmac entrance and additional landscaping) to allow for use of the site for occupation solely by named residents and their dependants on a permanent basis. Description of Site . Open countryside location Constraints . In close proximity to footpaths Summary of . GRANT for temporary period Recommendation Description of site and surroundings The application site is located within the open countryside in an elevated position with predominately open agricultural land surrounding the site. The site level falls towards the south-east with the eastern boundary of the site being significantly lower than the boundary with Croft Lane. There are several public footpaths surrounding the site. To the south of the site lies the village of Temple Grafton which is approximately 400m away. On my site visit carried out on 5th February 2015 there were 6 touring caravans on the site and 3 of the 5 brick built day rooms constructed. Development Plan Paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) advises that “due weight should be given to relevant policies in existing plans according to their degree of consistency with this framework”. Relevant Policies in the Development Plan for this application are PR.1, DEV.1, DEV.4 – consistent with Framework EF.6/EF.7, EF.10, DEV.2, DEV.6, DEV.7, CTY.1, CTY.7, PR.8 – some consistency but Framework is less restrictive STR.1, DEV.5 – inconsistent with Framework/out-of-date Other Material Considerations Central government guidance NPPF 2012 & PPG 2014 Circular 06/05: Biodiversity and Geological Conservation Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (2012) (PPTS) Designing Gypsy and Traveller sites – A Good Practice Guide (2008) Supplementary Planning Documents & Guidance Meeting Housing Needs 2008 Car and Cycle Parking Standards Stratford on Avon District Design Guide Other Documents Draft Core Strategy policies: CS.1, CS.5, CS.9, CS.12, CS.15, CS.20, AS.10 Paragraph 216 of the NPPF allows for weight to be given to relevant policies in emerging plans, unless other material considerations indicate otherwise, and only subject to the stage of preparation of the plan, the extent of unresolved objections and the degree of consistency of the relevant emerging policies to the NPPF policies. To date, it is officers’ opinion that draft Core Strategy carries limited weight for decision making purposes. The examination in public (EIP) of the Core Strategy was in January 2015. The EIP Inspector’s interim report was published on 19 March 2015. The executive summary identifies four areas of further work to be carried out by the Council: . To revisit the objective assessment of housing need (OAN) and to increase the housing requirement to provide an improved balance with the projected growth in jobs . To do further sustainability appraisal (SA) work . To consider an employment land allocation at Atherstone Airfield to support the delivery of housing via proposal SUA.1 (Canal Quarter), proposal SUA3 having been found to be not justified . To increase the OAN to provide more headroom in the housing supply trajectory. The Cabinet on 1 June 2015 supported a number of Core Strategy policies to be adopted on an interim basis for the purposes of development management. The matter has been referred up to Council on 22 June. Other evidence based documents: .

Appeal dismissed 01.06.1990 Applicant’s Supporting Documents List of documents: Covering Letter Site Location Plan Landscape Character and Visual Impact Assessment (two parts) Summary of personal circumstances Ward Member Councillor Adams – object to the application for the following planning reasons: Site was originally given permission as a temporary site for a travelling family because of social need and giving time for the applicant to find a more suitable permanent site. Would support a further temporary extension to give the applicant further time to find a permanent home (02.06.2015) Adjacent Ward Member Councillor Gittus - object to the application for the following planning reasons: Temporary site for a travelling family. Temporary permission was given for the site on the basis of the immediate personal, health and social need of the applicants family. Object to the present application to vary, but would support a further temporary application to enable the applicant to see a more suitable permanent home (31.05.2015) Parish Council Object to the application for the following planning reasons: Damage to the landscape due to permanent site, Inspector agreed. Do not consider that anything has changed and that the landscaping will have a negligible impact in mitigating this damage given the sloping site. LVIA commissioned by SDC concluded there would be significant landscape and visual harm. LVIA submitted by applicant lacks credibility – uses distant viewpoints to the west and largely ignores the open aspect to the east and north east. Draft Core Strategy Policy CS.12 designates area as Special Landscape Area - should be given appropriate weight. Conflicts with CTY.1, CTY.7, DEV.1 and PR.1 – nothing has changed. Other work carried out, creating a suburbanising influence. Temple Grafton – not a sustainable location – classified as ‘all other settlements’ in Draft Core Strategy based on lack of facilities. Emerging policy indicates that significant progress has been made by SDC in identifying a number of gypsy pitches in the District. It would be premature to grant permanent permission to this site. On 9th February 2015 SDC’s Cabinet considered a Gypsy and Traveller Local Plan and agreed a number of sites which could be considered for further consultation. Croft Lane was not one of these. Given the sensitive nature of the landscape – the site must be returned to original state. Do not consider it is appropriate to make this permission permanent and urge SDC to insist on the proper restoration of the site. (26.02.2015) Third Party Responses The comments made by third parties have been summarised by the case officer. 3 letters of support from local residents received: A permanent base gives the family security and enables them to have a sustainable gypsy lifestyle Have become part of the village community Children attend local schools If permission refused, will have to leave and have no secure base to go to Refusal would threaten ability to successfully relate to the local population, educate their children and access services such as health care Tidy site, almost no impact from the road looking at their site 44 letters of objection from local residents received, including letter from CPRE: Key objections to original application remain Circumstances since previous application and appeal have not changed Development too large for a rural site and inappropriate for a temporary permission Temple Grafton not a LSV – no facilities and

  • Warwickshire's Jurassic Geology
    Warwickshire’s Jurassic geology: past, present and future Jonathan D. Radley Abstract. Jurassic strata were extensively quarried in Warwickshire, during the 19th and early to mid 20th centuries, but much of the succession is now poorly exposed. Selected sites are afforded statutory and non-statutory protection as Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites. Warwickshire’s Jurassic history is outlined, demonstrating the value and purpose of the currently protected sites as repositories of stratigraphic, palaeontological and palaeoenvironmental data. The fields, hills and villages of southern and eastern structural hinge throughout much of Lower and Warwickshire, central England, conceal a marine Middle Jurassic time (Horton et al., 1987). This sedimentary succession of Lower and Middle separated the London Platform and East Midlands Jurassic age (Figs 1 and 2). This is at least 400 Shelf in the east from the Severn (or ‘Worcester’) metres thick (Williams & Whittaker, 1974) and Basin in the west (Sumbler, 1996). West of the Axis, spans about 40 million years of Earth history. The in south-western Warwickshire, the Lower Jurassic beds demonstrate a gentle regional dip towards the succession features a laminated, calcilutite- south-east and are affected by numerous normal dominated Hettangian development (Wilmcote faults (Institute of Geological Sciences, 1983), as Limestone Member), a more arenaceous facies well as cambering, landslipping and periglacial development of the Pliensbachian Marlstone Rock cryoturbation (Fig. 3). Unconsolidated Quaternary deposits locally cover the Jurassic sediments, notably in the Dunsmore area of eastern Warwickshire (British Geological Survey, 1984). The latest Triassic-early Jurassic Wilmcote Limestone Member (Blue Lias Formation, Fig.

  • Heartbeat April 2020
    Heartbeat April 2020 Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, services at all Heart of England Group churches have been suspended until further notice. It has also been decided that printing and distributing paper copies of Heartbeat is not strictly in keeping with the Government’s instruction that only essential activity should continue, but we hope that you will find this somewhat shorter electronic version interesting. We aim to produce another one in early May, and around the start of each month thereafter until things return to normal. Please send articles that might be of interest to our readers! Subscriptions for ‘missing’ copies of the paper magazine will be offset against next year’s rates – we do hope that you will stay with us. If you need any practical help or assistance in the coming days, please contact the Parish Office on 01386 872758 or email [email protected] Finally, we hope that you and your loved ones are, and remain, safe at this difficult time. Editor (Page 2) IN UNCERTAIN TIMES Human beings usually assume that it is really hard to get to know God. We wonder how He could be interested in “me”, we can’t imagine why God would want to spend time with us, and we suspect that if we succeeded in speaking to Him it would prove difficult or awkward, or even frightening! Nothing could be further from the truth. The first mistake we make is always to assume that God is a bit like us: unable to cope with too many demands and inclined to reject those people who annoy Him.
