Dear Sirs,

TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 HIGHWAY RECOMMENDATIONS

Location: Burnbank Farm, Tarset, Hexham, Northumberland, NE48 1LY Proposal: Construction of five two storey detached dwellings including new access from highway and internal circulation roads.

I refer to the above planning application consultation received on 26 May 2015 in respect of the above development.

In making our response the Highway Authority assess the impact of any proposed development on the highway network, both during construction, and once a development is completed. To ensure the highway network in the area can accommodate the anticipated trip generation, adequate manoeuvring/parking space is provided, safe access can be achieved, the highway remains free for the passage of all users of the highway, and so it does not have an adverse impact on the safety of all users of the highway.

The proposed development has been checked against the context outlined above. It should been noted that the amount of trips generated by the proposed development can be accommodated on the highway network in the area. The proposed manoeuvring and parking arrangements are considered satisfactory. The proposed new vehicular accesses will need to be constructed generally in accordance with NCC standard access Type ‘A’.

When the development is completed, it will not have an adverse impact on the safety of all users of the highway in the area. The construction phase of the development will inevitably have an impact on local residents and the school, due to the location of the development. The developer should ensure that the development has as little impact as is practicably possible and a condition will be recommended to have a construction management plan submitted which covers the storage of materials, parking of construction/operatives vehicles and the timing/routing of deliveries to the sites etc.

Therefore, if the Planning Authority is minded to approve this application Northumberland County Council Highways would request that the following conditions or similar be attached to any permission granted.

CONDITIONS:

1) No development shall take place until a Construction Management Plan for the duration of the construction period has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved statement shall provide for the parking

County Hall, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 2EF

and manoeuvring of vehicles of site operatives and visitors; storage of plant and materials used in constructing the development; wheel washing and/or road cleaning facilities and the timing/routing of deliveries to the sites. The approved Statement shall be implemented and complied with during and for the life of the works associated with the development, unless otherwise is approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

REASON: In order to achieve a satisfactory form of development having regard to highway safety.

2) The area allocated for manoeuvring and parking on the submitted plan shall not be used other than for the manoeuvring and parking of vehicles in connection with the development hereby permitted.

REASON: To ensure that there is adequate space within the site for the manoeuvring and parking of vehicles.

3) The vehicular accesses shall be constructed in accordance with Type ‘A’ of the Northumberland County Council standard specifications and laid out to match those of the adjoining properties. The development hereby permitted shall not be brought into use until the said access has been so completed.

Reason: To achieve access to and from the site in a manner, which does not cause significant danger and inconvenience to other road users.

INFORMATIVE:

Please advise the Applicant that they will be required to enter into a Section 184 Agreement of the Highways Act 1980 with NCC Highways prior to commencing work on the vehicular accesses.

Yours faithfully

Dear Chris, I note that this application is a resubmission with amended details and fewer houses on the same site as previously submitted. I have looked again at the revised plans and reports and have the following comments:

Since the first application on this site was submitted there has been some discussion about the use of the field. The Sustainability, Design and Access Statement now states that it is not a hay meadow. I note the ecological report has been revised slightly, but still says it is managed for haylage/silage. When I visited the site with you on 2nd June 2015 the field did seem to be shut up for forage, but really the issue should be related to the quality of the habitat and the presence and absence of particular grassland plants. My walkover of the area of the field proposed for the development did confirm the applicant’s assertion that it is not particularly species rich – even fewer species were observed than the species list supplied in the ecological report. Therefore whether it is actually managed as a hay field or as pasture, I consider the ecological value to be low considering the better fields in the vicinity, including on the same farm. Approximately 0.38 hectares of the field will be developed, the remainder to the north of the proposed development will be unaffected. The development will however result in the permanent loss of this area of grassland, some feeding habitat for bats, swallows, house martins and possibly some breeding habitat for ground nesting birds.

In the NPPF para 118 it states 'When determining planning applications, local planning authorities should aim to conserve and enhance biodiversity by applying the following principles: ‘...Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should be encouraged.'

Policy 17d of the NNPA Local Development Framework states ‘The Authority will particularly encourage proposals which: ‘...encourage proposals for beneficial biodiversity and geological features within the design of development in line with Natural Area, Northumberland National Park Biodiversity Plan and Geodiversity Action Plan objectives.'

In line with these statements the ecological report submitted by the applicant proposes the following mitigation and positive measures to encourage biodiversity:

v Create a native hedge along the northern and eastern boundary of the site. The species composition would be similar to that found in the existing roadside hedge.

10 of 40 15NP0034 Burnbank Development Management Committee 7th October 2015

v Ensure a number of suitable features are built into the new houses that will support roosting bats (e.g. bat bricks) and breeding house martins.

I consider both of these proposals are in line with the policies, would be beneficial for biodiversity and could be considered mitigation for the permanent loss of grassland, some feeding and breeding habitat that will occur. I do not think that we need to be prescriptive regarding the biodiversity features as each dwelling could have different measures incorporated. In considering the loss of small parts of the hedgerow to the development’s access, a new native hedge along the boundary of the site would mitigate for this and is welcomed as a positive addition to the landscape. If you are minded to grant permission I therefore recommend that a condition is added to ensure this mitigation.

Since there is potential for ground nesting birds to breed in the field, any site clearance or ground disturbance should not be undertaken in the breeding season (Mar-Aug) or if this is unavoidable a checking survey should be undertaken and any birds that are found to be nesting should be allowed to finish nesting before such work commences. I do not consider the proposal to map territories of birds (as suggested in the mitigation in the report) necessary.

As the proposed properties are to be connected to the mains sewerage system and the soakaway and landscaping positions are indicated I have no concerns regarding pollution of nearby watercourses.

If you have any queries or would like to check anything with me please get in touch.

Yours sincerely, Gill Thompson

Chris

I am not one hundred per cent sure here what I am supposed to be commenting on. In other instances where the application is more agriculturally based I can apply knowledge to agricultural systems to forewarn, for example, of any potential hazards or problems going forwards. In this case I am not aware of any specifically outstanding ecological or archaeological reasons why this should not go ahead. Equally agriculturally there is no problem. However as I have often stated that is as far as my input goes. Perhaps my incipient Development Control training is none too soon! Sorry but an honest assessment.

Dear Chris,

Having looked at the information provided with the above application, there is an inadequate reference to cultural heritage in the Design, Sustainability and Access statement. As a minimum the application should state why the applicant has stated there will be no impacts to cultural heritage, what evidence there is in support of this statement. For example, the Tarset and Greenhaugh Village Atlas contains research and information on the historical development of the village.

In the absence of detailed information to support the statement that no cultural heritage impacts will occur, it is recommended that consideration be given to the commissioning of an archaeological evaluation as a condition of planning permission, in line with Policy 18 of the LDF.

Regards,

Chris .

Dear Chris,

15NP0034 - Construction of five two storey detached dwellings including new access from highway and internal circulation roads on land at Burnbank, Tarset, Hexham, Northumberland, NE48 1LY

Thank you for consulting me on the above application. I wish to make the following comments relating the landscape, lighting, hedgerow and tree implications of this proposed development.

Pictures 1 and 2 attached identify the scale of the landscape that Burnbank and the village of Greenhaugh are set within, with the improved agricultural field system of the Tarset Valley floor and lower slopes (pic3) giving rise to open moorland on the upper slopes and hill tops. The general character of the existing development in the village is of a ribbon development along the road in a north south direction and the properties tend to be terraced or semi detached with traditional stone wall and slate roof design. The proposed development would extend this ribbon development north of the village, filling in the gap between the village and the school on the eastern side of the U5040 minor county road. The suggested building materials (stone walls and slate roofs) are in keeping with the local vernacular and whilst the design is for five detached properties, I do not believe that the design or scale of these would have a significant effect on the landscape character or views of this part of the National Park.

I welcome the proposal set out in the notes to the plans that all new electrical and telephone infrastructure will be installed underground where possible, thereby minimising the intrusion that this type of infrastructure can have on views of the local landscape.

Despite my earlier comments made in relation to application 13NP0031 for this site, there is little detail within this application as to the need for any new external lighting units. The site is set within the Darks Skies Park and I suggest that details relating to the likely need for any new external lighting should be sought from the applicant so that this proposed development does not jeopardise the Dark Skies Park status of the National Park. If lighting is required above external doors to each of the properties then this should be in keeping with the recommendations within the Authority's approved Lighting Master Plan.

The site is free of any notable trees although there is a mixed species deciduous hedgerow that runs along the roadside. I would suggest that this hedge and the new ones proposed to be planted along the northern and eastern boundaries will help soften the development within the landscape. Whilst not within the proposed development area, there is a notable oak tree to the north of the site within a former hedgerow that should be protected. This is a feature within the local landscape as you head north out of the village and care should be taken not to damage it or its roots during the construction period.

For the reasons identified above, and based upon the details provided, I do not feel that the proposed development will have a significant effect upon the landscape character or views of this part of the National Park. Indeed, it has the potential to reinforce the use of traditional building materials in this area of the National Park and as such I do not object to this application.

I would recommend however, that details relating to any external lighting requirements be sought

19 of 40 15NP0034 Burnbank Development Management Committee 7th October 2015

or failing this a condition be placed requiring any such fixtures to be installed in line with the recommendations set out within the Lighting Master Plan.

If you have any questions on the above do come back to me.

Regards

Chris,

With reference to this potential development, I would like to be able to understand how the siting of the individual units in this plan fits with the Park’s General Development Principles ( Policy 3),

This is in particular regard to the off-set orientation of the 5 units, which however pragmatic it may be in resolving other issues, runs counter to the essentially linear nature and streetscape of the Greenhaugh settlement.

Clarification on this would be much appreciated, particularly in view of the emerging Neighbourhood Plan (ref. Policy TG6), in which the Park has played a strong advisory role.

We have no objection in principle to the new development in Greenhaugh but do have some specific comments with respect to the scale and design of the proposal:

1. Greenhaugh is characterised by a linear settlement pattern on both the north and south sides of the road. The semi-detached cottages adjacent to the site on the north side are at a very slight angle to the road but the proposed houses are shown at a much wider angle and as such will look somewhat incongruous and more obvious to passing view. We would prefer to see the houses in line with the road, consistent with the recommendations in the new Neighbourhood Plan, which is in the final stages of development.

2. The proposal implies that natural stone will be used, qualified on the drawings with "salvaged stone where possible". We believe it is essential that the elevations be constructed in such a way as to blend with the existing stone buildings and feel that there is a risk that new stone will look out of place. The bungalow towards the eastern edge of the village and the school are examples of how inappropriate stonework might look and we would not like to see this repeated with this proposal.

3. If the developer feels there is a market for 5 large executive style family homes in this location and if they are occupied by families who add to the sustainability of the community, including facilities such as the pub, school, etc. then this can only be a good thing. If they attract second home owners, or further retired individuals to an already raging demographic profile, then this will do little to sustain the community for the long-term future.

Thank you and best regards,

John and Jenni Holland

If accepted and implemented Greenhaugh would be very much changed. The current appearance is usually described as “linear” - and thought of as attractive. There comes a point however when a linear development if continued becomes a ribbon development – a byword for unattractive sprawl. I think we are getting close to that tipping point here, and are in distinct danger of creating unattractive sightlines both within and without the village by means of this proposed development. The proposed development is simply too big. It is too big for Greenhaugh, too big for a single development within the National Park, and too uniform a building style for such a large development.

Address: Snow Hall,Tarset,Hexham,Northumberland,NE48 1PA

Comments: The proposed configuration of the five houses does not follow the linear nature of Greenhaugh and the angled placement of each building relative to the road jars with the existing street-scape. This is contrary to the proposed Neighbourhood Development Plan and presents a clutch of buildings alien to, and separate from, the existing village. It will also be extremely important to insist on sequential development of this site with build moving out from the village to avoid unsightly haphazard development of the plot.

Dear Sir, My wife and I have driven up from Sussex today and have been captivated by the peace and quiet of your wonderful countryside surrounding us as we stay at the Holly Bush Inn in Greenhaugh. Whilst out for a walk this evening we were horrified to see an application for planning permission to build 5 two story houses in a field on the outskirts of the village. Surely, the planning committee can not be seriously considering such an application to deface such a beautiful little village like this. As you will appreciate, we do not live locally but we have felt compelled to write objecting to the application.This is a beautiful place which we would love to visit again. However, if the village is to be blighted by these new houses and become like the rest of England I suspect we will look to visit elsewhere.

Dear Sirs

I would like to give my full support to the planning application as mentioned above. The village has a pub and school all of which need support to remain open and the erection of new dwellings will encourage families to move to Greenhaugh.

The area outlined in the application looks ideal as it is a continuation of the village and the proposed style of the dwellings fits in with modern day requirements.

From: Mary Parker To: Sent: 16/06/2015 1:12 PM Subject: Burnbank Planning application

Dear Sirs

Ref : Burnbank, Tarset, Hexham Northumberland, NE48 1LY

Planning application for five two storey detached dwellings including new access

I live less than half a mile from the proposed planning application at 'The Library'

I am more than happy to think the area will see some new development which will help the sustainability of the village and I am writing to voice my support for the application.

Greenhaugh has a school and pub and both of these need local families to support them.

The village currently has an aged population, and it is important to encourage more residents to settle here.

There is very little housing stock at the moment which means there is rarely anything available for purchase.

The new dwellings look to be in keeping with National Park criteria as well as todays family requirements

Yours sincerely

Mary Parker

Greenhaugh is a delightful village with beautiful views and diverse wildlife in a unique rural setting. I am a frequent visitor to the area and very much appreciate its natural beauty. The notion of destroying its uniqueness, in my opinion, would be a travesty; however I feel the applicant’s proposal, would not have a negative effect on the community, but would lay the foundations for its continual viability, as a thriving rural community.

At present there is little affordable, medium sized housing, that would attract families with younger children, even though the village has a first school within easy walking distance. Housing in and around the vicinity is either terraced houses or big detached houses, which are unaffordable for middle income earners, or first time buyers.

There are a number of farms in the area, which could benefit from; having farm contractors living in the community, however, again at present, there is little housing to meet their needs.

From my perspective of running my own business, the proposed dwellings, could also facilitate the development of small ‘cottage industries’, thus, adding to the local economy and reaffirming its viability. The application also states, the dwellings are to have garages either attached or linked to them , this would ensure the village, wouldn’t become overrun with parked vehicles.

I believe this application would provide Greenhaugh with a sustainable future, both in terms of population diversity and economical growth without ‘ruining’ its uniqueness, and natural beauty.

New comments have been received for application 15NP0034 from Richard Foden

Address: 4 Layters Way,Gerrards Cross,Buckinghamshire

Comments: As a regular visitor to the area, and property owner in the area, I am writing to support the proposed development of Greenhaugh.

In order to be socially and economically sustainable it is important to have communities that are large enough to accommodate a range of ages and skills. Greenhaugh is a small village with an ageing population and new family housing will encourage younger people to move to the area.
