Neighbourhood Planning Team From: Turner, Andrew Sent: 20 February 2019 12:01 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Subject: RE: Wigmore Group Regulation 16 resubmission neighbourhood development plan consultation RE: Wigmore Group Regulation 16 resubmission neighbourhood development plan Dear Neighbourhood Planning Team, I refer to the above and would make the following comments with regard to the above proposed development plan. It is my understanding that you do not require comment on Core Strategy proposals as part of this consultation or comment on sites which are awaiting or have already been granted planning approval. Having reviewed records readily available to this division, I would advise the following: Two of the three allocated ‘proposed housing sites’ (Policy WG3) indicated in light brown/grey on ‘Map 3. Wigmore village Policies, including the Settlement Boundary and proposed housing sites’ have been historically been used as orchards: Site 1: Moor View Site 3: Perry Fields By way of general advice I would mention that orchards can be subject to agricultural spraying practices which may, in some circumstances, lead to a legacy of contamination and any development should consider this. I appreciate that the allocated ‘proposed housing sites’ were labelled on ‘Map 3. Wigmore village Policies map’ as it made it far easier to reference and identify them. General comments: Developments such as hospitals, homes and schools may be considered ‘sensitive’ and as such consideration should be given to risk from contamination notwithstanding any comments. Please note that the above does not constitute a detailed investigation or desk study to consider risk from contamination. Should any information about the former uses of the proposed development areas be available I would recommend they be submitted for consideration as they may change the comments provided. It should be recognised that contamination is a material planning consideration and is referred to within the NPPF. I would recommend applicants and those involved in the parish plan refer to the pertinent parts of the NPPF and be familiar with the requirements and meanings given when considering risk from contamination during development. Finally it is also worth bearing in mind that the NPPF makes clear that the developer and/or landowner is responsible for securing safe development where a site is affected by contamination. These comments are provided on the basis that any other developments would be subject to application through the normal planning process. 1 Kind regards Andrew Andrew Turner Technical Officer (Air, Land & Water Protection) Economy and Place Directorate, Herefordshire Council 8 St Owens Street, Hereford.

Whilst it is pleasing that this site has been earmarked for a total of 22 houses we have a major concern that there will be substantial financial requirements to deliver major highways works in order to deliver any approved housing scheme. The NDP requires Bury lane to be widened and it’s also likely that junction improvement works will be required with the A4110. There would also be a requirement for an affordable housing and other S106 requirements. As such it is very unlikely that a scheme for 22 houses would be deliverable. It is therefore suggested that the wording in the draft NDP on this site needs to be less descriptive and allow for more flexibility. Perhaps it may be possible to require a development appraisal / brief to be prepared for approval at a future date. I would be happy to discuss this issue in more detail with the Parish Council and/or NDP representatives.

I would like to comment on the Wigmore NDP. I am a member of the Parish Council and I have brought this up with The parish council but it has been ignored. If you look at the attachment for the proposed development on Perry Fields site you can see what I am trying to explain. The area is situated at the lowest point of Wigmore and is already prone to flooding and any development would cause even more run off adding to an already problematic area. Also, if you look at the video I have attached you can see the evidence that I collected a couple of weeks ago after some heavy rain. The flood overflow channel in the Map picture attached below is where I filmed it. 20190210_085230.mp4 Not only would it add to the flood risk, but would also (as proposed) increase traffic to an already dangerous road (bury lane). They have suggested that bury lane be widened, which would actually create even more risk of flooding, not to mention noise, nuisance and danger to the families that live alongside it. I look forward to your reply.
