Development Management Panel 19 March 2012 DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT PANEL 19 MARCH 2012 Case No: 1200062S73 (REMOVAL AND VARIATION OF CONDITION) Proposal: REMOVAL OF CONDITION 1 OF PLANNING PERMISSION 0802744FUL TO MAKE PERMISSION PERMANENT. VARIATION OF CONDITION 3 OF PLANNING PERMISSION 0802744FUL TO ALLOW A CARAVAN AND MOBILE HOME ON SITE FOR RETENTION OF USE OF LAND AS A CARAVAN SITE FOR GYPSY AND TRAVELLER RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES Location: PUMPING STATION, PAXTON ROAD, OFFORD DARCY Applicant: MR B LAMB Grid Ref: 521802 265932 Date of Registration: 30.01.2012 Parish: OFFORD CLUNY AND OFFORD DARCY RECOMMENDATION - APPROVE 1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND APPLICATION 1.1 The site has a road frontage of 13m and a depth of 68m. It is a former Anglian Water Pumping Station. The vehicular access to Paxton Road has been improved and a laurel hedge has been planted on the site boundaries. 1.2 The site is located on the western edge of the village, outside but adjoining the built up area. Paxton Road is a B class road. 1.3 The application is to remove condition 1 of planning permission 0802744FUL which limits the duration of the development to 3 years which expired on 27 February 2012. It is also to vary condition 3, which restricts the development to 1 pitch with 1 caravan, to allow a caravan and a mobile home on a single pitch. This would regularise the current situation on the site. 2. NATIONAL GUIDANCE 2.1 PPS1: “Delivering Sustainable Development” (2005) contains advice on the operation of the plan-led system. 2.2 PPS3: “Housing” (2011) sets out how the planning system supports the growth in housing completions needed in England. 2.3 PPS7: “Sustainable Development in Rural Areas” (2004) sets out the Government's planning policies for rural areas, including country towns and villages and the wider, largely undeveloped countryside up to the fringes of larger urban areas. 2.4 PPG13: “Transport” (2011) provides guidance in relation to transport and particularly the integration of planning and transport. 2.5 Circular 01/2006 – Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites 2.6 Draft National Planning Policy Framework: Consultation (2011) - sets out the Government’s key economic, social and environmental objectives and the planning policies to deliver them. The intention is that these policies will provide local communities with the tools they need to energise their local economies, meet housing needs, plan for a low-carbon future and protect the environmental and cultural landscapes that they value. It seeks to free communities from unnecessarily prescriptive central government policies, empowering local councils to deliver innovative solutions that work for their local area. 2.7 For full details visit the government website http://www.communities.gov.uk and follow the links to planning, Building and Environment, Planning, Planning Policy. 3. PLANNING POLICIES 3.1 Further information on the role of planning policies in deciding planning applications can also be found at the following website: http://www.communities.gov.uk then follow links Planning, Building and Environment, Planning, Planning Information and Guidance, Planning Guidance and Advice and then Creating and Better Place to Live 3.2 East of England Plan - Revision to the Regional Spatial Strategy (May 2008) Policies viewable at http://www.go-east.gov.uk then follow links to Planning, Regional Planning then Related Documents and Single Issue Review on Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation H3: “Provision for Gypsies and Travellers” – Local Authorities should make provision for sites/pitches to meet the identified needs of Gypsies and Travellers living within or resorting to their area. 3.3 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan (2003) Saved policies from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Structure Plan 2003 are relevant and viewable at http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk follow the links to environment, planning, planning policy and Structure Plan 2003.

Providing sites in appropriate locations will help prevent the social exclusion of Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople and conflict with settled communities. Consideration will be taken of the preference of many Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople for a rural location with a degree of separation from the settled community. The number of pitches should be appropriate to the size of the site and the availability of infrastructure and services and facilities in accordance with the general principles set out in the settlement hierarchy. The policy sets out the criteria which will guide the provision of sites. 3.5 Huntingdonshire Local Plan (1995) Saved policies from the Huntingdonshire Local Plan 1995 are relevant and viewable at www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/localplan95 H23: “Outside Settlements” – general presumption against housing development outside environmental limits with the exception of specific dwellings required for the efficient management of agriculture, forestry and horticulture.

E1: “Development Context” – development proposals shall demonstrate consideration of the character and appearance of the surrounding environment and the potential impact of the proposal. E8: “Sustainable Travel” – proposals must demonstrate how the scheme maximises opportunities for the use of sustainable travel modes, particularly walking, cycling and public transport.

  • The A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme
    The Parish Council of Offord Cluny and Offord Darcy The A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme Submission to the Planning Inspectorate (DCO Registration ID 10030393). Summary We continue to assert that regarding the proposed Huntingdon Southern Bypass, the whole exercise is misguided and unnecessary. That by upgrading the A14 to modern A-road standards, with proper slip roads for entry and exit and the provision of a hard shoulder, by dualling the A428 between St Neots and Caxton and improving the A428/A1 link at the Black Cat roundabout, there will be a greater improvement in traffic movement in the area as a whole, at much lower cost. The fact that according to HE (Consultation Report 5.1 p64) the new A14 will not have hard shoulders either, would seem to indicate that the entire scheme at a cost of £1.5bn will not actually solve the root cause of the current problem! This suggestion, which has also been made by a number of other stakeholders, has been consistently ignored by Highways England throughout this entire process, and indeed throughout the previous A14 (“CHUMMS”) proposal dating from around 2003. Mike Evans, representing Highways England was being somewhat disingenuous when he asserted at the Planning Inspectorate Preliminary Meeting that he was unaware that such a proposal existed. Delays on the current A14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge are mainly due to breakdowns, accidents and the weight of rush-hour traffic trying to get into Cambridge at the Girton interchange. The impact of breakdowns is exacerbated by the lack of a hard shoulder, making it impossible to pull offending vehicles off the main carriageway in a timely manner.

  • Response by the Parish Council of Offord Cluny and Offord Darcy to the Examining Authority’S (Exa’S) First Written Questions and Requests (Ref: 10030393)
    Response by the Parish Council of Offord Cluny and Offord Darcy to The Examining Authority’s (ExA’s) first written questions and requests (ref: 10030393) Q1.1.5 Applicant Local authorities Parish Councils Please explain when, how and where air quality would be monitored or why no monitoring is proposed with particular reference to NOx, NO2, CO, PM10 and PM2.5. Q1.1.8 Applicant Local authorities Parish Councils Please explain how the assessment of air quality has taken into account the proximity of the proposed road scheme to sensitive receptors including housing and schools and the mitigation measures proposed during the operational phase in such locations? Where and how would these measures be secured? Q1.1.10 Applicant Local authorities Parish Councils Table 8.12 of the ES concludes that during the operational phase the overall scheme would have no significant impacts on air quality. Can the applicant explain further how it has reached its conclusion of no significant air quality impacts?? PC As far as we are aware there have been no efforts to monitor air quality in the region of the Offords during this phase (ie post-2010) of the proposal. The Environmental Statement, published in October 2009 made two mentions of the Offords – 10.3.22 A further monitoring survey of NO2 was undertaken between March 2007 and March 2008 The survey was in the form of a monitoring tube at location designated “WSP22” described as “On 3 post at entrance to field, north of Offord Cluny” The NO2 level was recorded as 27.0 µg/m compared with AQS Objective and EU permitted levels of 40.0 µg/m3 although we believe that these permitted levels may have been adjusted downwards since then.

Weather-wise, of course, it was a summer of extremes. We had some of the hottest days ever recorded (including apparently the hottest), but also with storms, strong wind and heavy rain. Perhaps a metaphor for the turbulence in some of the events in our national life. Reflecting on the uncertainty of Brexit and its implications recently, a friend of mine, who is a historian, wisely remarked that in future years people will look back on the current situation simply as an event of history. Life will simply have readjusted to whatever the new reality then looks like. Three thousand years ago the author of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes reflected on the cyclical nature of life when he wrote “what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun”.
