BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH

Planning Committee 06/06/2012

Report of the Head of Planning and Development

APPLICATION REF: WP/2011/0442/C

PROPOSAL: Replacement of extant planning permission KE/05/790 and WP/05/584 to extend the time limit for the implementation of the A509 Isham Bypass.

LOCATION: Land to the West of the Village of Isham A509, Isham, .

APPLICANT: Northamptonshire County Council.

NOTE: At the Planning Committee meeting held on the 2nd November the committee resolved that no objection be raised.

A further consultation has now been submitted as follows:-

“A509 Isham Bypass Application No’s KE/05/790 and WP/05/584 Regulation 3 Supplementary Planning Support Statement

1.0 Summary of Current Situation Prior to the Development Control Committee on 13th March 2012, as applicant we made a request that the committee considered a 10 year Extension of Time for Implementation for the A509 Isham Bypass.

The committee debated this proposal, but given the consultation had been based on a 5 year extension, the committee decided to defer any decision until a consultation on the possibility of a 10 year extension had been undertaken.

The Applicant therefore wishes to formally amend the application and request that up to a 10 year Extension of Time for Implementation period is permitted.

1.1 The Development Plan The North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy (June 2008) sets out the vision for future growth up to 2021 and seeks to secure road and infrastructure improvements to support the development in the north of the county.

Policy 2 of the North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy relates to connecting that part of the county to the surrounding areas, and the network improvements for the A509 between the A14 and A45 including the A509 Isham WP/2011/0442/C - 2 -

Bypass as a priority for further work and investment within North Northamptonshire in the period to 2021.

Therefore the A509 Isham Bypass is an integral part of the future growth in North Northamptonshire.

1.2 Previous Funding By March 2010, the A509 Isham Bypass scheme had been tendered and a preferred bidder identified and the County Council were due to make a Full Approval submission to the Department for Transport (DfT). However, the DfT advised that No Major Schemes Business Cases would be accepted prior to the Governments Comprehensive Spending Review, (CSR) and this delay ultimately led to the Authority abandoning the procurement process.

In October 2010, the post CSR announcement required the Authority to submit an Expression of Interest. Following a review by the Department it was confirmed that the A509 Isham Bypass is not intended to receive funding in the current spending period up to 2014/15, and unless additional finding was to come forward the delivery of this piece of infrastructure would be delayed until post 2015 at the earliest.

1.3 Future funding At present this is unclear, although on 31st January 2012 the Department for Transport published a consultation on the devolution of funding for local authority major schemes. This could lead to the Government putting in place a new funding system for the next spending review period. Levels of funding post April 2015 will no doubt be subject to further announcements by the Department for Transport.

Any application for future funding would require the environmental impacts of traffic flows, noise etc to be re-evaluated to the latest highways or DfT guidance. Therefore this would be undertaken to support the scheme funding applications once it is clear when the funding stream becomes available. This will ensure the business case that supports the funding application is current at the time of submission, and reduce the burden on public finances until the funding criteria and timescales are known.

1.4 Compulsory Purchase Orders The orders previously confirmed have now lapsed, as they have a 3 year validation period and that cannot be extended, therefore the Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) to acquire the land will need to be re-published and a further Public Inquiry would be required. A consultation on the content of the CPO has to be undertaken and unless there are no objections whatsoever the Secretary of State will need to appoint a Planning Inspector to undertake the Public Inquiry and produce a report, this is a lengthy process that will typically take a minimum of 18 months possibly up to 2 years to complete.

1.5 Environmental and Amenity Considerations The planning statement which accompanied the Planning Application in May 2011 is in effect unchanged by the request for a 10 year Extension for Time. The - 3 -

scope of the works at this time is unlikely to change other than to conform to any compelling Governmental or technical guidance. Environmental surveys will continue to monitor the environmental and biodiversity status of the route throughout the life of the planning approval whether that is for a 5 or 10 year extension. The results of these surveys will be recorded and the Planning Authority will be kept up to date on the findings, and information will be used to produce an up to date preconstruction ecological report as and when required.

1.6 Conclusions The previous planning application for a 5 year extension of time was made on the basis that the Government would make an announcement during 2011 about funding arrangements going forward either pre or post 2015. The application was and continues to be a positive response to the disappointment of not receiving the funding in 2010.

Further consultations on our request for the consideration of a 10 year extension are welcomed as the 5 year Extension of Time for Implementation is always going to be very difficult to achieve. The 5 years is a minimum period in which there could be the possibility of a commencement of the scheme. However, due to the uncertainty regarding funding a longer implementation period would significantly increase the likelihood of the scheme being delivered and therefore the application is now requesting a 10 year period for implementation.

The A509 Isham Bypass remains a high priority scheme within the County Council and is also identified as part of the North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy. A valid planning permission will give the A509 Isham Bypass a better chance and greater certainty of successfully competing for funding from whatever source. It would allow the Compulsory Purchase Order process to be progressed without the need to wait for a further Planning Application and the time involved in that process, which would considerably reduce any future timescale to commence the works on site.”

RECOMMENDATION: That no objection be raised.

BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH Agenda Item

Planning Committee 02/11/2011

Report of the Head Planning and Development

APPLICATION REF: WP/2011/0442/C

PROPOSAL: Replacement of extant planning permission KE/05/790 and WP/05/584 to extend the time limit for the implementation of the A509 Isham Bypass.

LOCATION: Land to the West of the Village of Isham A509, Isham, Kettering.

APPLICANT: Northamptonshire County Council

NOTE: 1.0 Summary of current situation

On 5th May 2006 Northamptonshire County Council were granted planning approval for the A509 Isham Bypass, and following a Public Inquiry in October 2007 the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) and the Side Roads Order (SRO) were confirmed in April 2008 by the Secretary of State.

In January 2010 and March 2010 the tenders were issued and returned respectively, and the Major Schemes Business Case (MSBC) for full funding approval was programmed for issue in April 2010, but on advice from the Department for Transport (DfT) no MSBC’s were being accepted prior to the Governments Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR)

In October 2010, the post CSR announcement by the DfT as part of their “Investment in Local Major Transport Schemes” document which included the A509 Isham Bypass in their “Pre-Qualification” pool. In early January 2011, the Authority to submitted the required Expression of Interest (EoI) for the scheme, and subsequently in early February 2011 the DfT issued an update to the Investment in Local Major Transport Schemes which confirmed that the A509 Isham Bypass would not receive funding in the current spending period between 2011/12 and 2014/15 and therefore the delivery of this piece of infrastructure will be delayed until post 2015 at the earliest.

A report to the Authorities Cabinet on 10th May 2011, will recommends that cabinet:

• reaffirms the Authorities position of the A509 Isham Bypass as a high priority scheme within the county and commit funding from the existing NCC capital allocations. - 5 -

• agrees to the revised financial strategy for continuing support of the project

• show continued support for the A509 Isham Bypass through an extension in time of the schemes planning permission.

The reason for making this Regulation 3 Application relates to that final point, as the Current Planning Approval will expire on 5th May 2011.

1.1 The Proposed Application

The proposed application is requesting a 5 year Extension of time for Implementation, as part of Planning Condition 1- Time Limit of the original approval given in May 2006.

The scope of the works relating to the A509 Isham Bypass has not changed since the original planning application made in July 2005, there are no proposals to alter the original route, alignment or scope of works. The changes to the layout of the scheme relate to the earthworks around the bridges and structures following the completion of the engineering design, and these minor changes have not affected the original “red line” boundary on the planning drawings.

The latest drawings are included in Appendix A - Planning Condition 2 - Scope of Permission

The Planning Approval dated 5th May 2006 set out a number of site specific planning conditions that must be discharged by the Planning Authority prior to the works commencing on site. Northamptonshire County Council Highways and Transportation department and their consultants have previously submitted information to the Planning Authority and have been working with them on the discharging of the Conditions, at present the Planning Authority have not issued their formal responses to the information provided.

The current statues of the Planning Conditions are indicated in Appendix B

1.2 Ecological Surveys

It is recognised that this request for an “Extension of time for Implementation” submission does not include an up to date report or addendum to the biodiversity section of the original Environmental Statement. In anticipation of a construction start in April 2009, a “Pre-Construction Ecological Survey Report” dated December 2008 was submitted to the Planning Authority. This report did not highlight any significant changes to the ecological characteristics to the study area, however it did update the mitigation requirements for protected species and breeding birds and in line with the requirements of the planning conditions and mitigation measures were due to be implemented prior to commencement.

However, since the above report was published monitoring of the areas has continued, Unfortunately due to the timing of this submission and the recognised survey season time scales for various species, an up to date ecological report is not available at this time. - 6 -

The timescales for survey works are as follows

Survey Recognised Survey Suggested timescales season Great Crested Newt presence/ Mid march to Mid April Mid April to mid may 2011 likely absence survey Bat activity Survey May to September June to August 2011 Badger survey April to June 2011 Water vole and Otter survey April/May and August to September 2011 August/September White Claw Crayfish survey July - October July to October 2011 Reptile Survey April - October May and September 2011 Hedgerow surveys April to September May to September 2011

These surveys will be undertaken and an addendum to the original biodiversity section of the Environmental statement will be provided, the completion of the addendum is likely to be 6-8 weeks after the final survey being completed. Although early findings will be reported to the Planning Authority at the earliest opportunity, and the final report issued as soon as possible.

1.3 Updated information The main body of this document uses the original planning support statement dated July 2005 as the background, with any relevant information, comments or updates being added to sections 2 -7.

Section 8 of this report – Measures to Lessen the effects of the scheme, has been updated to include comments and relevant information that has been submitted to the Planning Authority as part of the process to discharge the planning conditions. This information is included in a number of appendices at the end of this statement and will be available electronically.

2.0 Scheme Objectives

Northamptonshire County Council proposes to construct a bypass to the west of the village of Isham, The scheme will

• reduce community severance in the village of Isham by removing through traffic, particularly heavy goods vehicles; • reduce the number and severity of road accidents; • reduce congestion on the A509 particularly during peak hours; • enhance the local environment of Isham and improve conditions for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians; • improve transport links between Kettering and Wellingborough

Update – The above objectives hold true and are as relevant today as they were in 2005, and form the basis of why a 5 years Extension of time for Implementation is being sought.

- 7 -

3.0 The Existing Situation

The existing A509 Wellingborough Road is a strategic route, running in a north - south direction, between the A14 Pytchley roundabout south of Kettering and the A509/A510 roundabout, located to the north of Wellingborough. The village of Isham is located on the A509 and suffers from the effects of through traffic, the observed traffic flows (base year 2002) through the village are approximately 21,300, 12% of which are Heavy Goods Vehicles. This is almost twice the capacity of the existing road

Update - In 2009 the observed flows had increased to approx. 22,650 of which 9.5% (2155) were HGV’s, however in 2010, there was a reduction to approx 20,350 of which 9.7% (1982) were HGV’s. Even with this slight reduction, the traffic flows are still almost twice the design capacity of the existing road, and the village of Isham continues to suffer from congestion especially in the peak hours.

4.0 Development of the Scheme A preferred route for the Isham Bypass to the east of the village was chosen by Northamptonshire Planning & Transportation Committee in 1994. Preparation work ceased in the 1990’s due to budget pressures.

The Northamptonshire Local Transport Plan, published in 2000 identified the Isham Bypass as one of 6 top-priority road schemes in Northamptonshire which were appraised by Northamptonshire in 2000/2001. The County Council Executive decided, in July 2001 that the bypass at Isham was one of two top priority schemes whose implementation should be pursued during the lifetime of the Local Transport Plan.

The Executive decided that the proposed bypass should be subject to a thorough review of potential route alignments and their impacts. The information on which the original decision was taken, being nearly 10 years old and the assessment being required to follow the ‘new approach to appraisal’ methodology introduced by Central Government.

A Wider Reference Group was set up in November 2001. This comprised of MPs, Northamptonshire County Councillors, Borough of Wellingborough and Kettering Borough Councillors, Parish Councillors of nearby towns and villages (Burton Latimer, Pytchley, Orlingbury, , , and Little Harrowden) as well as representatives from local action groups. The remit of this group was to decide on which routes should be taken forward for further assessment and be subject to public consultation.

The assessment of thirteen route options, included in the brief agreed by the members of the Wider Reference Group, commenced in January 2002. The Wider Reference Group was consulted in August 2002 following a technical assessment, which comprised preliminary environmental, traffic and economic assessments, and three routes were taken forward to public consultation in mid February 2003.

The Northamptonshire County Council Cabinet decided on the Preferred Route in May 2003 and a bid for government funding was made in July 2003. Provisional acceptance of the scheme was received in December 2003. Following further work, consultation on the draft Environmental Statement took place from October to December 2004 and the - 8 -

Scheme was revised to take into account comments received. The decision to submit a Planning Application for the A509 Isham Bypass was made by the Northamptonshire County Council Cabinet Member responsible for Transport in January 2005.

Update In May 2006 the Council granted planning permission, and a Public Inquiry was held into the Compulsory Purchase Order and Side Roads Order between 30th October and 2nd November 2007 and in the following May the Secretary of State confirmed those orders.

In February 2009 continued support through the Regional Funding Allocation process was confirmed with a Department for Transport being prepared to contribute £27 million towards the scheme.

In January 2010 the tender documents and drawings issued, and in early March 2010 tenders returned, and later assessed with the bidders being ranked on a quality and price basis. As part of that process a preferred bidder was identified, but the tender was not awarded. With the calling of the General Election for May 2010, a month earlier on advice from the Department for Transport (DfT) no Major Scheme Business Cases were being accepted prior to the Governments Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR). Therefore the full approval business case for the funding could not be made.

In June 2010, the DfT issued their interim Guidance on Local Authority Major Schemes, suspending previous guidance, and the final preparations of the Major Scheme Business Case and engineering design were put on hold.

In October 2010 the DfT publish their “Investment in Local Transport Schemes” document, which set out their case for investment, and the A509 Isham Bypass is in the “Pre-Qualification Pool”, and required an Expression of Interest to be submitted to the DfT.

In November 2010, as the tender for the scheme could not be awarded, the Council abandoned the tender process.

In January 2011 the Expression of Interest submission was made, and in February 2011 the DfT confirmed that A509 Isham Bypass would not receive funding in the current spending period between 2011/12 and 2014/15 and therefore the delivery of this piece of infrastructure will be delayed until post 2015 at the earliest.

5.0 Description of the Scheme

The route for the Isham bypass lies within a route corridor between the towns of Kettering in the north and Wellingborough in the south. The existing A509 road, which passes through the village of Isham, provides an important north/south route connecting the A14 and A45 Trunk Road serving Kettering and Wellingborough and destinations towards the southwest.

The study area is of undulating terrain consisting of mainly arable and pasture land with some small areas of woodland. The River Ise runs to the east of Isham village and east of the Midland Mainline railway. Altitudes within the study area range from around 50m on the Ise floodplain valley to around 90m on the high ground west of Isham. - 9 -

The route passes to the west of Isham, commencing at the A14 Pytchley Roundabout and would run southwards to rejoin the A509 Wellingborough Road midway between Hill Top and Great Harrowden. The length of the bypass would be 4.3km. There would be two at grade roundabout junctions. Kettering Road Roundabout at the junction with the A509 Kettering Road south of the A14 Pytchley Roundabout and Hill Top Road Roundabout at the junction with the B574 Hill Top Road. Northwards from the roundabout at Hill Top would be dual carriageway standard and single carriageway southwards to connect with the existing A509. All the side roads would be single carriageway. The role of the side roads would be to provide access to the village of Isham via the existing A509 and to maintain access to the B574. An overbridge would be provided to carry Orlingbury Road over the bypass.

Extensive earthworks would be required, with cuttings up to a maximum of 9m deep and embankments up to a maximum of 10m high. The route would pass within 30m of properties in Fairfield Road and Winston Road in Isham, in an 8m deep cutting. It would pass within 80m of Frisby Lodge in a 7m deep cutting, and within 30m of the nearest property at Hill Top Road in a 6m deep cutting.

Street lighting would be installed at the two roundabout junctions. Flat glass 'cut off' lanterns would be used for street lighting to reduce light 'spill' to the night sky and night time visual impact.

Lay-bys would be constructed to the north and south of the Kettering Road roundabout. The route crosses three watercourses which drain into the River Ise. These are Pytchley Brook, Hardwick Brook and an unnamed watercourse to be referred to as “Little Harrowden Brook”. New culverts would be constructed at Pytchley and Hardwick Brooks and the existing pipe extended for the “Little Harrowden Brook”. Balancing ponds would be constructed, to control the discharge rate of highway drainage, at each of the watercourses.

The road would cross bridleway GW15, footpaths, GW2, TM3, TM4 and TK18. Footpath GW2 would be diverted to a combined culvert and underpass at Pytchley Brook. Footpath TM3 and Bridleway GW15 would be diverted to a combined footway/bridleway and accommodation bridge at The Ruts (northwest of Fairfield Road). Footpath TM4 would be diverted across Orlingbury Road Bridge. Footpath TK18 would be diverted to a combined footpath and accommodation bridge near Frisby Lodge. Additionally a combined footpath/bridleway bridge would be constructed to serve Hill Top Road and the Furnace Lane byway.

The detailed design of structures has yet to be finalised. Options for the watercourse crossings include corrugated pipe arch culverts or reinforced concrete box culverts. The Orlingbury Road Bridge could be reinforced concrete or steel beam construction, while the footbridge is likely to be of steel truss construction.

The design life, with appropriate maintenance for the road pavement is 40 years and for structures 120 years.

Update – The structural designs have been completed and the latest drawings are included in appendix A. - 10 -

RECOMMENDATION: That no objection be raised.

BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH

Planning Committee 06/06/2012

Report of the Head of Planning and Development

APPLICATION REF: WP/2012/0164/F

PROPOSAL: Erection of 2 no. new dwellings - amended scheme with reduced footprint and reduced scale. Amended Plan - corrected finished floor level annotation.

LOCATION: Land adjacent 1 Harrowick Lane, Earls Barton, Northampton.

APPLICANT: Mr S Watkins.

This application is referred to the Planning Committee for determination due to the level of third party objection.

PROPOSAL AND DESCRIPTION OF SITE: As described.

The land is flat and mainly laid to grass, although there are some mature and maturing trees and shrubs on the site. Adjacent is the Campbell Square development which is nearing completion. On the boundaries is a variety of fencing and walling. To the front of the site is an outbuilding that appears to be being used as a garage/workshop. Also on the at the front of the site is no. 1 Harrowick Lane which is a bungalow that has private, informal off road parking on its highway frontage. The stretch of Harrowick Lane is narrow and of single track width and there is no opportunity for vehicles to park in this part of the road. Should vehicles want to park in Harrowick Lane they have to travel past the application site where there is unregulated parking in highway near to the recreation field.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY: WR/1966/0174 Bungalow – conditionally approved WR/1967/0080 Bungalow with hard standing – approved WR/1968/0169 Garage – approved WP/2010/0092/O Construct 4 no. houses on land behind no. 1 Harrowick Lane, Earls Barton – outline application with only access arrangement to be considered at this stage.

The applicant indicates that the current scheme differs from the above approval in the following ways:

• footprint has been reduced • projections have been reduced in length • roof pitched have been less steep, ridge heights remain the same or lower • houses to be built at ground level, rather than being dug into the ground • design has been simplified

NATIONAL GUIDANCE, DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICY AND SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENTS/GUIDANCE: National Planning Policy Framework North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy 1 (Strengthening the network of Settlements) 13 (General sustainable development principles) and 14 (Energy efficiency and sustainable construction) Borough of Wellingborough Local Plan: G4 (Development within the limited development and restricted infill villages) Supplementary Planning Document; Northamptonshire Minerals and Waste Development Framework – Development and Implementation Principles, Sustainable Design, Biodiversity Supplementary Planning Guidance: Parking, Planning Out Crime

SUMMARY OF REPLIES TO CONSULTATIONS/REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED: 1. Earls Barton Parish Council – notes the reduced footprint and reduced scale of the scheme and does not object to the application.

2. Northamptonshire County Council Highway Authority – has returned the application with a pro forma sticker suggesting that the Council seeks its highways advice from its published standards. The Highway Authority has, however, supplied a covering letter which makes reference to the following recommendations:

• the shared private drive must be 4.5m wide for the first 10m from the highway and the first 5m must be hard surfaced to prevent loose materials being carried onto the highway • the vehicular crossing and surfaces must be reinstated to the Northamptonshire County Council specification • visibility splays to be provided and maintained.

3. Northamptonshire County Council Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS) – no comment received.

4. Northamptonshire County Council Archaeology – confirms that a programme of archaeological works required by a condition on the previous permission has been received. Suggests that it would be sensible to attach the same condition; there will still be an impact on any below ground archaeological remains.

5. Borough Council of Wellingborough Environmental Protection Service - no comment received.

- 13 -

6. Borough Council of Wellingborough Landscape Officer - no comment received.

7. Borough Council of Wellingborough Design and Conservation Officer – supports the architect’s argument for a slightly idiosyncratic melange of local vernacular features in this location off the main street and set back within the site. However, the Design and Conservation Officer suggests the switch from a full hip to a half hip is retrograde, as this particular feature does not occur in the village’s more traditional buildings.

8. Northamptonshire Police – has no objection but goes on to suggest security standard for doors and windows.

9. Neighbours – objections have been received from the occupiers of 8 Campbell Square and 2 Leys Road and multiple letters from the developer of the adjacent Campbell Square site. The writers cite the following issues for opposing the application:

• impact on adjacent properties will be the same as the original scheme and taking into account the ground is not to be excavated, is higher than the last plans • properties in Leys Road remain over 1m lower than the development and will be overpowered by the height of the rooftops • the surrounding properties need to be protected from further development in the roof spaces • application appears to be a blatant move to get round previously imposed planning conditions • loss of light to landing area • scheme is still over three metres in front of no. 8 Campbell Square and only one metre away • overdevelopment of the site • car parking area is bigger and dwellinghouse will have more of an effect than the original scheme • reference to discussion at the Planning Committee meeting when the original application was determined • dwellings are massive in comparison to the surroundings and will be out of character with the conservation area • negative impact on living conditions of adjacent occupiers • impairment of view

10. In response to the criticism of the scheme the applicant has made the following comments:

• there are factual errors in the objection letters relating to the view from the adjacent landing window and the reduction in height of the building by 750mm • the revised plans address the landing window issue. • the improved parking area will also benefit the bungalow at no. 1 Harrowick Lane - 14 -

• the semi-hipped roof element has been a continuous detail throughout the design process, including the originally approved scheme which was previously endorsed by the Conservation Officer.

The applicant has also queried the application being referred to the Planning Committee for determination rather than being determined by Officers under delegated powers.

ASSESSMENT: The material planning considerations are:

• Compliance with policy • Highway safety • Effect on visual amenity, character of the area and setting of the Earls Barton Conservation Area • Effect on neighbours amenities • Crime and disorder • Biodiversity

Compliance with policy There has been a change in the policy because of the recent introduction of the NPPF. However, the allowed Appeal and previously planning consent granted by this Council has established the principle of residential development taking place on the site.

Highway safety The Highway Authority has responded to its consultation with a pro forma sticker which directs this Council to its published highway standards together with a covering letter which makes reference to specific standards and specifications.

It could be the case the two dwellings now proposed could produce less vehicular movements than the four consented at the outline stage by the Inspector and could have less of an impact on the local highway network.

There is no evidence to suggest the application should be refused on the grounds of potential danger to highway safety.

Effect on visual amenity, character of the area and setting of the Earls Barton Conservation Area The North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy, Policy 13 (h) says that new development should be of a high standard of design, architecture and landscaping, respect and enhance the character of its surroundings. Policy (i) of the NNCSS goes on to say that development should create a strong sense of place by strengthening the distinctive historic and cultural qualities and townscape of the towns and villages through its design, landscaping and use of public art. Policy (o) continues this theme and states that development should conserve and enhance the landscape character; historic landscape designated built environmental assets and their settings.

Policy 15 (f) of the NNCSS goes on to state that in order to deliver sustainable residential communities higher densities will be sought particularly in the locations most accessible on foot, cycle and public transport, although increases in density should not - 15 -

detract from the traditional streetscape and built form where this is worthy of safeguarding.

With regards to Policy G4 of the local plan it states that development will be granted planning permission if it will not have an adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on the size, form, character or setting of the village.

With regards the NPPF, paragraph 56 says the Government attaches great importance to the design of the built environment. Good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning, and should contribute positively to making places better for people.

In addition to the policy background, the Council is under a duty to pay special attention to the application to ensure that the development preserves and enhances the setting of the conservation area.

It is considered that the design of proposed development will not have an adverse effect on the visual amenity of the street scene, nor would it have a detrimental effect on the setting of the adjacent conservation area.

Effect on neighbours’ residential amenity Policy 13 (l) of the North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy states, inter alia, that new development should not result in an unacceptable impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties or the wider area by reason of loss of light or overlooking.

The comments of third parties regarding this issue are noted and it is accepted that the proposed development will have an effect on the standard of amenity that is currently enjoyed by the existing and potential occupiers of the surrounding dwellings. It is thought, however, that the possible harmful effects will not be so serious to warrant refusing the proposal on these grounds.

Crime and disorder No pertinent crime and disorder issues have been identified.

Biodiversity No biodiversity issues have been identified within the scope of the application.

Conclusion The application is considered to be acceptable subject to conditions.

PROPOSAL: Detached single garage/garden store.

LOCATION: 3 Orlingbury Road, Little Harrowden, Wellingborough. NN9 5BH

APPLICANT: Mr Simon Lewis.

The application comes before the Planning Committee for determination due to an objection from the Parish Council citing concerns with regard the garage being positioned forward of the property.

PROPOSAL AND DESCRIPTION OF SITE: The proposal property is located within the village of Little Harrowden and forms one half of a pair of semi-detached properties located at a prominent position at the centre of the village and angled to face the junction where Orlingbury/Wellingborough/ Hardwick Road and Main Street join. The proposal is as above and is positioned towards the front of the property cartilage detached from the main dwelling.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY: WP/2003/0458 Double garage at side of dwelling – approved with conditions. WP/2011/0222 Conversion of double garage to granny annex – approved with conditions.

NATIONAL AND LOCAL PLANNING POLICY: North Northants Core Spatial Strategy: 13 SPG: II, IV and V and Design SPD National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

SUMMARY OF REPLIES TO CONSULTATIONS/REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED: 1. Parish Council – “…the only concern was that the building would be in front of the property itself”

ASSESSMENT: Loss to neighbours amenities Due to the garage’s front location, orientation and proximity to neighbouring properties there is not likely to be any adverse impacts by way of overlooking, loss of light or overbearing. Therefore having considered the impact on neighbours the development is found to be in accordance with Policy 13 of the NNCSS and the parts therein that concern themselves with loss to neighbour’s amenities.

Impact on the Appearance and Setting of Area The property is positioned at a prominent village position with the open frontages to the semi’s complimenting the spaciousness to the other 3 facing corners of the junction creating a pleasant openness as well respecting the set-backs and open frontages to Orlingbury and Hardwick Road. The proposed development would harmfully erode this openness and introduce a built form only 1.3m from the highway that would to a degree urbanise the corner detrimental to the character, appearance and visual functionality of the area; this is particularly stark given the lack of planting to the front of the site that may have softened the impact.

The proposed sides and rear elevations of the garage that would have street presence are de-void of any kind of fenestration and/or detailing to give interest to the elevations, this gives further detriment to the garages appearance to the street and gives greater emphasise to the mass of the garage, which is larger in terms of length than a typical garage. In all cases applications should be considered on their own merits however should this application be approved a precedent argument could be made for future similar developments not only to the corner but also forward of the linear row of properties front Orlingbury and Hardwick Road.

NPPF indicates in its Core Principles that decision-taking should “always seek to secure high quality design” and goes on to say in para. 58 that developments should “respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings…”. In this respect the development is contradictory to Policy 13 (h) of the NNCSS adopted June 2008 which amongst other things seeks a high standard of design that respects and enhances the character of its surroundings and the guidance as contained in the Design SPD.

Other Considerations The biodiversity is unaffected and the development does not result in an increased potential for crime and the principles of non-discrimination have been followed through- out. The dwellings private amenity space is not compromised. There are no adverse highway issues with vehicles able to access and egress the site in a forward gear with no harm to the visibility splays on the corner.

Conclusion Notwithstanding the acceptability of the proposal on neighbour’s amenity and highways issues it is considered that the detrimental impact of the proposed development by virtue of its dominant position and its appearance is detrimental to the openness of the area together with its unsympathetic design. The proposed development is therefore considered contrary to North Northants Core Spatial Strategy Policy 13(h) and inconsistent with the National Planning Policy Framework.

- 20 -

RECOMMENDATION: Refuse.

1. Due to the proposed garage's design, proximity, location and scale it is considered to be visually harmful to the openness of the junction and detrimental to the areas character and appearance contrary to Policy 13 (h): General Sustainable Development Principles of the North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy.

Policy 13

Development should meet the needs of residents and businesses without compromising the ability of future generations to enjoy the same quality of life that the present generation aspires to.

Development should:

Raise standards

h) Be of a high standard of design, architecture and landscaping, respects and enhances the character of its surroundings and is in accordance with the Environmental Character of the area.
