AfternoonAndrew

Apologiesfor the latereply as I wason leavelast week and have had a ratherhectic day of meetings andcatching up today.

I havelooked at ECON9atain, and note your comments. However, whilst I havenot beenable to referthis to our HeritaSeofficer, I disagreewith the opinionthat the meritsofthe buildingoutweigh ^ the firstthree qualifying criteria. The fourth criterion states: "lffespedive of theforegoing, a odoptotion ond rc-useis theonly meonsol preventingthe lossor deteriorotionol o listedbuilding, or of o building thdt mokesdn essentiolconvibution to the grcupvolue ol listed buildingsond their setting, or ol o building thot woftonts rctention becouseof its uniquelocol orchiteciurolor historic intercstor cont butionto thelondscope." this criterionha5 three applications - a listedbuildin& a buildinScontributinS to a groupof listedbuildings, or a buildingof uniquelocal architectural or historicalinterest. The fi.st two arenot applicable.The third wouldonly apply here if the buildinS hada locallyunique architecture (i.e. it canonly befound in this area).This i5 not the case,with the vernaculaacommon on historicalfarms across much ofthe country,and I am stillnot convincedthe deteriorationis sogreat here to warrantretention - it iswell maintainedand can be usedfor storagesafely. There is no evidencebefore me eitherthat it hassitnificant historical interest.

Stayingwith yourcomments on this policytest,lcannot see where the policl makesallowance for non-compliancewith the economicand residential cascades ofobjectives ifthe fourthqualirying criterionappfies. Part 2 stales"f thebuilding is deemedto be suitoblefor odoptotionond re-use in occordoncewith the lorcgolnE crlterh, the use to which the buildingmoy be put will be detemined hovingregotd to the extentto which it is copobleoJ lullilling thefollowing odet of lond use objectives".lhisis an inclusivestatement - of all 4 qualifyinBcriterion - andnot just the first 3, such that the cascadesdo apply.

My commentsin respectof farmdiversitication were not enti.elyworded how I wishedto convey them.What I wastrying to saythat farm diversificationhad occurred, in the 60t, to c.eatethe fisheries.That diversification, in effect,still persists. However, in the meantimethe farming enterprisehas ceased to exist.In termsof ECON9,I cannot see how a movementaway from this continuingdiversification (irrespective ofwhether the farm stillexists today)can be justified, since thisdiversification clearly continues to beself sustaining. Notwithstanding this, the fisheries businessalso falls under (vii) ofthe policy(quiet recreational pursuitr), and this sits above the employmentprovision objective.

I wouldhave no problem with building 3 to beused as the storage and stockinS tanks for the fisheries,in turn freeingup building1 for offices.However, with referenceto myfirst two paraSraphsabove, the sustainability issues and hi8her objectives of ECON9take prio.ity to this consideration.

Santi 09 November2010 18:02 To! Nash,Chris Ccr Ian Higqhs Ssbr€ct RE:Cutue lllll Fisheries DearChris,

Thankyou for the helpfulresponseand words ofadvice. However, befoae deciding what to do nextlwould eppreciateclarity on a coupleof points:

Firstly,ldo not atreethat the buildingf"ilsthe "deterioration'test of PolicyECON9. The building is unique (showme anotherexactly like it) andbehind the inappropriate2otn century rendering etc it warrants retention.The building deterioaates because it is unheatedand underutilised. The buildint does not needto beon the veGeofcollapse to Bainthe "enablindadvanta8e ofthis policy,rimply that it is deteriorating. Furthermore.the opportunityfor adaptationand re-use afforded by this p.rt of ECON9does not requirea cascadeofend uses(localservices, recreation, of{ices, residenti. I etc); simply that a productiveend use securesthe longterm futureofthe building.lf thisanalysis is correct,the rustainabilityobjection falls away. Theopinion ofthe HeritageOfficer would be appreciated.Could you pleasereconsideryour view.

In addition,the restorationofthe historicfacades complement the enhancementobiective of part4 of Policy ECON9.

Secondly,you relerto "existingfarm diversification,datin8 from the 1960sto providethe fish€ries"and "farmdiversification is clearlypossible...' That being the case,the applicantis ableto relocatethe storage andstocking tanks to building3. As you say,the buildinSis/was unde.-utilised. ooors can be erectedon the front of building3 to providesecu.ity. A.e yousatisfied with this relocation?

In5olving this problem,the conversionof buildint1 to officescan be described as "Farm diversification, in accordancewith policyECON8.": 'Ptoposols for fom diveRifiaotionwi be pemitted prcviding thelollowing uite.io ore het:

I appreciatethat "Projectswill be supportedwhere the proposeduse will enablethe aontinuedoperation of the farm. Applicantswill needto demonstratethls linkwhen submitting applicatlons." There is certainlya closeSeographical link between bulldlnt 1 andthe sufioundlngflshery uses. A financialappraisal can demonstratethat forecastrental income from offlceswlll supportthe longterm operationand viability ofthe fisherylarm. lt reemstome the conversionof building1to ofllcesIn the.ir.umstances descdbed above wouldbe the preferredsolutlon of PollcvECON9.

Thankyou for yourconsultalion dated 29 September2010 in regardto theabove application

Accessto thesite is viaCuttle Mill Lane (D374)which is approximately570 metres in length,the majorityof wtrichis singlecaniageway approximat€ly 3.0 melres in width. Thelane widens approximalely 10.0 metres from the junction with the 44091 to allow smallvehicles to pass.There are passing bays along the lane. According to the PlanningStatemenl produced by StansgatePlanning on behalfof theapplicanl, the fisheriesattract approximately 300 visitors per week during peak periods. The proposed81 officeusage will increase the vehicl€ trips associated with th€ silebut no so muchas lo reachthe capacity of CutfleMi Lan6. However,lhB B1 lighlindustry and 88 storageuses could lead lo largervehictes using CuttleMill Lane on a morgregular basis than the existinguses. The existing junction of CuttleMill Lane with the A4091 is notlarge enough for a largevehicle to passa car waitingat theGive Way line, or viceversa. For vehicles to passthe verge may be used,which obviously would damage lhe verge and bring material on to thehighway. In mitigationthough, the size of theunits propos€d for storageand lighl industry possibly wouldnot attEcl Jarge yehicles to lhe site. Therefore,the HighwayAuthotity's response to yourconsultafon is on subj€ctto a suitabl€condition for t€mporary us8 ot thgsito for Bl light-ifldusfryand storageuses for a periodof no greaterthan two yeersfrom th€ dato of lh€ Docision Notica.

HiAndrew

I havehad the opportunity to discussthis with colleagues now, and believe we mayneed to lookat the schemefrom first principles before we lookat the matterpertaining to building2. I had previouslyoverlooked the matterof sustainability{the first qualifying criterion). In addition, in respectof building1 alone,it wa5claimed that this criterion should not apply due to it fallingunder the fourthqualifying criterion.

Havingnow looked at thesetwo pointsin depth,I nowfeel that the overall scheme does not qualify for re-useunder ECON9. The reasons being: r Thebus service is not regular.This is route number 757, however the Mlddletonand TamworthRoad arm ofthis route passes once in eachdirection p€r day and only during schoolterm times.The lg!!g!3p is here,with the corresoondinPtimetable here Thesite is thereforenot consideredto be servedby "o rongeof meonsofttovelond tronsport" ln addition,Cuttle Mill Laneis single track without footways. Therefore, pedestrian and cycling accessto thesite is very unlikely to occur,especially with the vehicle Seneration figures for thefisheries as quoted below and for the proposal(around 34 + proposedtwo-way trips per dayon average)likely to causeintimidation and/o. conflict. This overall view is supported by a recentappeal decision under ECON9 nea.by at theRepeater Station on Tamworth Road lPAP l2OOl l049rl r Building1 doescarry local interest, although I am not sure the architectural or historic attributesare so uniqueto supportthis sufficiently without seeking advice from our Heritage officer.Nevertheless, the buildingmust be at riskof lossor deterioration.This is not the case here,with the buildingwell maintained and well used at present,and no prospectthat this wouldbe a resultof notgranting permission. This criterion is therefore not considered applicableto thisapplication, thus pushing the consideration back to theother three qualifyingcriteria, where the above point applies.

NotwithstandinBthe above,there isfurther concern that existintfarm diversification,dating from the 1960sto providethe tisheries, provided by these buildings (i.e. storage and stockint tanks for the fisheries)wouldbe displaced or lostby the proposal,creating pressure for newbuildinEs to compensatefor this loss. The planning statement skips past the first three economic objedives of ECON9.The policy does not allow for pickingand choosing the objectivewithout first justifying why the previousobjectives cannot be achieved.In this circumstance,farm diversification is clearly possibleas it has/isalready occurring in terms ofstorage and stocking tanks in building1. Therefore,any loss ofthis provisioncannot be supported(and would also be relevantif building5 we.etraded off forany reason).

Funhermore,I require justification as to whythe followinB two objectivescannot be achieved (e.9. hasthe localParishes been contacted to ascertainany unmet need for localfacilities, and why

28/t0/2010 Page2 of 3 cannotstables or similaruses which facilitate access to thecountryside be provided?) before we get to workspace/starterunits.

Turningto the matterpertaining to building2, it isclear that the building has been used for a considerablenumber of yearsfor the elestricalcontractor without any issues reported. lt would howeverneed to beevidenced what that re-use entailed (i.e. was it alwaysto thecurrent extent, or justa smallelement of storate?).From this point, the policyarena at thetime the use commenced wouldhave likely supported this use (subjed to it beingdemonstrated that it wascapable of re-use withoutsignificant change or rebuilding- the claimed6 yearsbefore reconstrudion may be sufficientevidence here). The re-build in 2008would have likely been supported under ENVT subjectto the re-usebeing granted first (i.e.establlshing a lawfuluse). The relevant policies are attachedfor anylater application to retainthis building (see below for detailson these policies). In this context,and with considerationgiven to the demolitionof building4 andpossibly 5, andwith theprospect ofa personalcondition to thatcompanyto ensure other more intensive uses do not replaceit withoutthe Council'sconsideration, I feel there maybe scopeto ar8ueVSC for the retentionofthis building and the use.

Theattachments afe asfollows: - LocalPlan 1995: formed part ofthe DevelopmentPlan up toJuly 2005, when it was replacedby the currentLocal Plan - FirstDraft Deposit: gave indication of theintended chan8es to 1995policy - RevisedDraft Deposit: was a materialconsideration from April2004 - Modifications:these responded to the InspectorsReport and are considered sound. These arethen carried forwa.d in the cur.ent adopted document

It isalso clear that some storage related to thetenant of building2 occursin buildint3. Again, theremay be scope to a.gueVSC fo.the continueduse ofthis building on the abovegrounds, althoughthis is considered to benuch weaker here given it isevident that the buildintis also used for machineryand other storagefor the fishery,and the currentstorage could have only recently occurredinstead of since2002. Aerial photography indicates that the building was much less extensivelyused only 3 yearsago:

28110/2010 Page3 of3

In lightof all the above,I am not sureproceeding with the currentapplication i5 presentlya good idea.I wouldsuggest withdrawing and providing sufficient evidence and justlfication informally aheadof anyresubmisslon. There would be no issuewith resubmltting it all as one under the f.ee go, asnelther the sustatnabilityissues nor the new buildingare any less contentious that each other.However, your clientmay wish to pu6ue them separatelyshould it be foundone is easlerto justifr thanthe other.

I will forwardHighway comments as and when I havethem, as these well mavbe materialtothe considerationofwhether to pursuethe re-use.

Furtherto ourphone call today, I attachthe planning permission for thereplacement MOT workshop. Moreover,with 12,350visitors in 2009,the fisherymust a commercialleisure use. They pay business rates. lf it helpsthe case for building2 at CuttleMill Fisheries, VSC could be advanced: L "rhe crcdtion ol odditionol employmentot this time is beneficioltothe locol economy" 2.Compared with the previousbuildint, no harm to opennessof GB. 3. Associateddemolition of building4 therebyenhancrng openness. 4. Demolitionofbuildin8 5, another enhancement ofopenness. 5. LonFtandingcommercial site 6 Complementsother commercial uses on the site, eg shared access and hardstandinB and employees can usethe caf€. 7. Perhapsa personal permission and/or restricted to electricalengineering? 8. Theowner of the fisheriesalso runs the electricalcontracting business. This reduces his comhuting journey(althou8h there are also 1 or 2 employees).

I hopethese issues are suffciently tailored to the siteto reduceconcern about creating precedent.

Thebuilding changed its usein September2002 to a lightingand electrical.epair businets, underthe name Hi- Lite ElectricalLtd, Theycarry out street lightingrepair and electricalwork, includingcommunity projects throughoutthe WarwickshireArea and surrounding boroughs.

I willbe considering both applications concu.rently.

In respectofyour secondquestion in respectof the new dwellin&the proposalis for a replacement dwelling.As such the existing dwelling (The Lodge) will be demolished.

Inrespect of thecomment .eferring the pubicfootpath through the site, our records indicate that footpathsstop short ofthis site.However, our recordsmay not be completeor current.In this respect,I havecopied the CountyFootpaths team in to adviseformally on this,and requestthat theytake this emailas a formalconsultation on the matter.

HiAndrew

I am stilllittle uncomfortablein allowinga unrestricted88 use,especially as once established, an applicationto improvethe fabric or replacethe buildingwould be difficult to resist.The key translating through our re-usepolicy i5 that it shouldbe wo.kshopsand offices. Therefore, ifstorage isallowed, it shouldbe associated with this (i.e. linked to a tradinSbusiness on that site). I alsonote that presentlyit appearsthat thereare a coupleof businessesusinS this buildingfor storage. Howeve.,I appreciatethe buildingis limited in size,limiting the scopein whichit canbe marketed andused. I will have a ponderon this one and let you know.

lwill liaisewith the Hi8hways Authorityon the proposedcondition. lfthey are amenableto a conditionalapproach, if passing places are even necessary, then I shallpursue this. lf, however, they wishfor it to be undera legalaSreement, I will comeback to youfor likelytimescalet, etc

I notevour comments .egarding the re-cladding.This, I appreciate,is permitteddevelopment, per se.Howevef, my mainfocus ofthis pointarose from trying to t.acka permissionfor thesebuildings (asthey appeared new), and resortingto aerial photography to checkthe immunity position. whilst the steelframe to building3 appearsoridnal, aerial photography as recent a5 20Og appea.s to suggesta totallydifferent roof profilefor building2. Theattached photos show recently poufed concreteto the foundationedges, fresh brick footings, and the eavesand verges beint quitenew - all suggestingit is a whollynew building. Can you check with yourclients as to exactlywhat was doneto thesebuildings please, as, l'm sure yourll appreciate, we shouldnot be granting permission for a whollynew 81/88 buildingin the GreenBelt.

Thestordge businers would be managedby CuttleMill Fisheries.Iagree that a tenantis unlikelyoperate qdy from unit 3, in that stoaage wouldbe ancillaryto the tenandsother ope.ations.On the other hand,Siven the specificcircumstances of buildint3 | standby my commentsthat "Buildint3 is verybasic and will probablyonly appeal to businesses with longterm stora8eneeds. lt will be rarelyvisited." lf a tenantcould not be foundfor buildint 3 then it mitht continueto be uredin assoaiationwith the fishery-

UnlessI havepeGuaded you to chanteyour mind to allowunencumbered Class 88 use, I slrggeitI amend the floor planto read"Ancillary storage area" and that a conditionbe imposedto read:

"Euilding3 sholl only be usedfor storcge in associotionwith the lishery ot the useoI Buildings1 or 2"

lf wo.ksto highwayland is required,my clientis willint to enterinto a legalagreement. However, as encouragedby Circular05/2005, a Grampian-stvleplanning condition ir preferred.Paragraphs 38 to 41 of Circular11/95 are also relevent. I submitteda planshowin8 the extentof landwithin the ownershipofthe CountyCouncil, so providedany necessary new or enlartedparsing spaces fall entirelywithin their ownership,the works"have reasonable prospects oI fulfillment."I suttest a conditionsimilar to model condition17 in 11/95.

"Developmentsholl not beginuntil detoilsol possingspoces on CuttleMill Lonehove beenopptoved in witing by the locolplonning duthotity; ond building 7 sholl not be o.cupied untilpossingspoceson Cuttle Mill Lone hovebeen constructed in dccorddncewith the opprcveddetoils."

Buildings2 and 3 were staatingto fall into disrepairand were re-cladabout 2.5 yearsato, insofaaas metal claddingwas replaced with timbercladding, Section 55(2) of the Townand Country Planning Act 1990states that operationsthat "do not materiallyaffect the externalappearance of the b'rilding"shall not be takento involvedevelopment. There is an artument that the re-claddingdid not require planningpermission. Nevertheless,without prejudiceto its lawfulness,we would be willingto amendthe descriptionoI the applicationto read:

cuttleMitl Fisheries (PAP/2010/04921 # we haveconsulted Highways on thisone, and lam awaitintcomments. The size ofthe units limitthe llkelihood of a businessusint HGVS taking up a tenancyhere. Ofthe uses proposed in each3 buildings,our re-use policy directly supports light industry in 2 (as workshop/stanerunlts), but the third is ofa little concernwith a straightforward88 storage useproposed. I have advised that, in the context ofthe sizeofthe units,98 would only be acceptableifthere werean ancillaryoffice element to ensurea businesscan trade from, as opposedto onlystore at, here.This is in linewith the workspace/starterunits policy ECON4 crossreferenced in ECON9.I am seekingamended plans for this building

Thetishery willstill remain- the buildingssubject ofthis applicationare the former agriculturalbuildings of CuttleMill Farm, which are now redundant.

Thedwelling obtained a certificateof lawfulnessin Februaryofthis year,The residential use istherefore established, and they arenow taking up the allowanceto replaceit, with no greaterthan 30% additional volume, under HSG3.

ArchwaysCare (PAPI2010/0488)

Neighboursand the Parishhave been consulted. Can you outline the questions you wish to askon this,as there maybe no planningreasons for a referralto Board,or I maybe ableto answerthem by emall.A sitevisit would only then leadfrom this if necessary.

Havingvisited the site,I am consciousofthe proximityto neiShboursand it5 Green gelt location.However, the extentofthe useproposed will be relativelylow andcan be controlledthrough condition. The same applicant already ope.ates a similarproposalfrom ShawburyLane, Coleshill without any reported issues, and this proposal intends to mirror this.

It is worth notingthat the CaravanPark use is not relevantto this application,and lt mustbe consideredon lts own merits.

SphereMania (PAP/2010/0498)

Thereare a numberof issueswith this application. Mainly the impact on Landscape Characterwith the currentlyunauthorised use at lessthan 50%ofthat proposedshowing its tollonthis prominent hillslope. In addition, the.e are concerns about noise impacts from the astivity.I am seekingfunher informationf.om the agenton this application. t5/t0t2010 Page2 of 3

mffe.s more information about the activity.

Pleaselet me haveany further comments and thoughts as soon as possible, particularly with referenceto ArchwaysCare.

Thereare queslions which I feelneed to be raisedon thisapplication, and I wouldnot want it to bea delegateditem. I lhinka sitevisil and Board would be crucial.

Hi Andy

I visitedthe siteyesterday. With referenceto the planninBstatement, I needto seekclarification on someDoints.

Building1is proposedas 81, building 2 asBl or 88,and building 3 as88. I noteyou are supporting thechange of useofthese buildings under (viii)of ECONg (workspace/sta.ter units). This makes referencesunde. the reasonedjustification to ECON4.Reasoned iustification 5.33 of ECON4defines workspace/stanerunits as "small premises from which businesses can trade". I amstruSSling to seehowthe 88 use ofbuilding 3 canfallunderthis without either beingtied to oneofthe officesto be providedin buildingsI and2. lt is evidentthat presentlythe storateuse occurring within the buildingis for a businesswhich trades elsewhere, and merely uses thls as storage. As you can understand,this undermines the sustainability principlee of ECON9,wlth longer and potentially morevehicle trips necessarv for sucha businessto travelfromtheir mainpremiset colledthe itemsstored, and deliver them; with the reverse process also adding to this.Whilst I amminded to supportthe application, I am app.ehensive about allowing the extent of 88 proposed(or possible). Theremay be somemerit in allowingbuilding 3 as88 subjectto an ancillaryoffice being included. Wouldthis be an option, and ifso couldyou provide amended plans please?

Youalso make,eference to improvingpassing places on cuttle Mill Laneif felt necessary.whilst I am stillawaitinB highway comments, there is no mechanismoffered to ensurethis canoccur if necessary.lfrequired, can you confirm that yourclients would bewillingto enter into a legal obligationfor suchworks please, as it is not somethingI cancondition (i.e. it relatesto landoutside ofthe redand blue lines). O ttot*ithrt"nding the above,whilst I note buildings2 & 3 arelong standing buildin8s, it appearsthey haverecently been re-clad and I cannottind an applicationfor theseworks. Can you adviseplease?

3. BACKGROUND

31 Cuttle Mill Fisherydates from the early 2o'Century and has been run by the applcantfamily since '1985 Theylive on lhe premisesin a detacheddwelling. The fisheryhas capacity for 75 pegsin thetollowing combination: . SpecimenCarp Pool 22 pegs . LongPool 38 pegs . StockPool 15pegs

Visitornumbers in 2009were 12,350,which can be brokendown as follows:

Sprino/Summer(March lo Auoust) Approx300 visitorsper week. Manyof thesevisitors car-share. The Specimen Carp Pool is tull at weekendsand most weekdays.The Long Pool is full on weekendsand competition days.

Aulumn/Winler(Seotember lo Februarv) Approx| 75 visitorsper week. Manyof thesevisitoF c€r-share.The Specimen CarpPool is full at weekendsand half-fullduring the week The LongPool is half- full on weekendsand full on competitiondays

Adjacentto the dwellinghouse is a singlestorey cafe and tackl8shop used by the flshermen.Other buildings in the localityare alsoused in associationwith the fishery, namery: . Partof Building1 is devotedto the breedingof fish. . Parlof Building3 is usedfor storageassociated with the fishery. . Building5 is usedfor slorageassociated with the fishery.

3.4 Thisplanning application will not affectthe fisherybusiness, which will run alongside the proposedClass B businessuses. Theexisting indoor fish breeding,displaced by the changeof useof Building'1 to offic€s,will insteadlake placein the TackleRoom, adjacentto the cafe. Changeof useof Building3 to Class88 storagewill stillenable part of ils floorspaceto be used as slorageancillary to the fisherybusiness The cafe/shopis ideallylocated to servefishery customers and woriersand visitors to the proposedClass B businesspremises.

The applicantdwelling house provides a good levelof securityand managementof all commercialuses, assisted by the factthat CuttleMill Lane is a dead-endroad and thereforedoes not attractpassing traflic Anotherdwelling house is locatedat the east end of the site.

1. PLANNINGPOLICY

GovernmentPolicy 41 PPG2:Green Belts states a presumplionagarnst inappropriate development in the GreenBelt However,according to paragraph3.7 ot PPG2,"the re-useof buildings should not prejudice the opennessol the green bell, since lhe buildings are akeady thefe." In this case, no additionalbuildings are proposed. Parkingwrll occuron existinghardstandings and no additionalhardstandings are proposed Moreover, Building4 willbe demolished,measuring 137m2, which will enhance the openness of theGreen Belt

42 PolicyEC6 2 of PPS4;Plannino for sustainableeconomic orolvth states that in tural areas, focal planningauthorities should 'suppolt the conversionand re-use of apprcpriatelylocated and suitablyconstructed existing buildings in the countryside (patticulady those adjacent ot closely related to lowns and villages) for economic 're-use development."Similarly, Policy EC12'l statesthat the ot buildingsin the countrysidefor economicdevelopment putposes will usua y be prelerable...suppod sm€/lsca/e economic developmentwhere it provides the most sustainableoption in villages,or othet locations,that arc remotefrom local seNice centres,recognising lhal a site may be an acceplablelocalion lor developmenteven though it may nol be reedilyaccessible by publictrcnsport "

Norlh WarwickshireBorough Local Plan(2006) 4.3 PolicyENV 2 of the NorthWaMickshire Borough Local Plan defines the scopeof the GreenBell.

4.4 PolicyECON 4 stateslhal "theprovispn of accommodatrcnsuitable tor new or small busnesseswill be welcomedwhere it.... facililatesthe adaptationand rc-useof exisling rural buildings in accordancewith policy ECONg. " The explanationto the policystates lhat "managedworkshops and stafte(units arc premisesfrom whlch

sma// businessescan lrade and may include cental administrctionand lT facilities and shared security lndividual units should be no greater than 465 sq metres and ideally less tha, 93 sg metrcsin size" The proposalcomplies with this policy, insofar as the proposedcommercial units measure313m'?, 1o8m'? and 146m'? respectivelylndeed, Hi-Lite Electrical Ltd alreadyoccupies Building 2 This is an electricalcontraciing company that installsand maintains street lighling

4.5 Policy ECON9permits proposals for the adaptationand re-use of existingrural buildings,subject to c€rtaincrite.ia. . The building has dlrecl access to the ruml distibulor road network and is accessibleby a rangeof meansof traveland trcnspoftetc. . The application site has directaccess a maindistributer road (the 4446) via the 550m long Cutlle Mill Lane.There is only one other prope.tyon the Lane,a dwelling houseat thejunc{ion with A4091. In commonwith many rural buildings, public transportopporlunities are limited.This scenariois recognisedby PPS4, whichstates that a sile may be an acceplablelocation for developmenteven thoughit maynot be readilyaccessible by publictransport . The buildingis ol petmdnenl and substantialconstruction and its form, scale, bulk and genercl design is in keeping with the sunoundings. The three buildingssubject to thisplanning application meel this qiteria. . The building is capable of adaptationand re-use without major ot complete reconslruction,altention or enlaryement.The elevationand floor plans demonstrateminimal alteration to the extemalfabric ol the buildingsand no enlargementof the volumeor footprint . hespeclive of lhe loregoing, adaptalion and re-use is lhe only means of prcventing the loss or deledoralion ol . . a building that wanants retention because of ils uniaue local architecturalor histoic interestor contibution lo the ldndscape.This aspirationis similarto Policy EC.12.1(iv)of PPS4, wherebythe conversionof rural buiidingsfor economicdevelopment can benefit lte need to conserve, ot the desircbilily of conseNing, heitage assets."Building 1 at CuttleMill Fisheriesfits this c.iterion.The primarypart of this buildingdates from the 19hcentury and was designedfor agricultural use. lt has been extendedto the rear and modernisedw ith render and decorativetimber panels. Despite being in mixeddomestic and fisheryuse, the building is under-utilisedand needs mainlenanceand repair The proposalhas the followingbenefits:

PGH/ADM/6298PDA Soptember2010 StansgatePlanning LLP CuttleMill Fishery PlanningSlalemeol

a) Saves a unique buildingof local architecturaland historicfrom deterioration. b) Restoresthe original facade, by removing inappropriatemodem claddingand opening-upblocked historic doors and windows c) ReDlacesunattractive modem windows and doorswith timberframed windowsand doors sympatheticto a historicbuilding and a rural settino.

4.6 Accordingto PolicyECONg, if the abovecriteria are met,the buildingmay be putto a usewhich meets economic objectives, including 'employment provision in the formof managed workspacdslatler units ol no more than 500 sq m n total." fhe explanalionto the policystates that localemploymenl uses should take the form of small businessunits. 'Ihe size rcstrictionimposed suppotls policy ECON4and rcflects the employmentland restaint imposed by WASP The criteria of the policy focus on local and rural uses and would lhereforc exclude town centre uses of the type and scale rcfened to in PPS6, large single employmenl developments and thosewhose employment base is anythingother than local."

47 Giventheir differentdesigns, build quality and physicalseparation, it is anticipated that buildings1, 2 and 3 will be occupiedby threedifferent tenants. . Building1 will accommodateotfices and ancillarystorage measuring 313m2 and is suitablefor a "starteroffice" type of business. . Building2 will accommodatelight industryor storageand measure1OBm2 Given the lack of windows,headroom and open-spaceenvironment, this buildingis suitedto a 'managedworkshop" type of business.lt is already occupiedby sucha business. . Building3 will accommodatestorage and measure146m2. Building 3 ts very basic and will probablyonly appealto businesseswith long term storag€ needs lt will be rarelyvisited

4.8 The cumulativefloorspace of the proposedClass B uses is 567m'?,which exceeds the soom'?thresholdrecommended by PolicyECONg. However,each buildinghas floorspacemuch smaller than this flgureand they are only suitedto accommodate separalesmall-scale employment uses in the spiritof PoliciesECON4, ECONg and PPS4.Moreover, parts of Buildrngs1 and 3 are alreadyin commercialuse, related to thetishery. Building 2 is alreadyoccupied by a smalllocal business.

'Any 4.9 Policy ECON 9 also stales such scheme will also be requiredprolect or enhance the local environment by satistying each of the fo owing cdleria " The Droposalmeets all thesecriteria- For example,the proposalwillnot give riseto any additionalhazard or impedimentto the safe and free movementof pedestrian, vehicularand oiher traffic on CuttleMill Lane. Thevolume and speed of trafficon the lane is very low. Existingpassing spaces c€n be enlargedor re-surfac€dto accommodatethe expecitedincrease in traffic. This issuewill be examinedin more detailin the nextchapter.

5. TRANSPORTAND ACCESS

Traflic generstion 5.1 The total floorspaceof the proposedemployment development (Class 81 and 88) measures567m2, which is muchless than the thresholdsof "majortrallic generating proposals'listed in PolicyPTPI of the LocalPlan. Nevertheless,the policygoes on 'DevelopDent to state that for all proposals will only be pemitted whete, individua y or cumulatively there would be sumcient capacily within the trcnspoft netwo* to accommoddle lraffic generated by the proposal and where there would be no ddditionalhazdrd to tratric salely or detimenl to dccessvisibility."

The junclionof CuttleMill Laneand the A4091has a clearvisibility splay of 2 4m x 2'15min a northand south direction. lt is adequatefor the existingand proposeduse of CuttleMill Fishery Photographsofthejunction are at Appendix2.

c.5 CuttleMill Lane is a singleirack roadwith five informalpassing spaces within the domain of the public highway.They are annotatedon plan no. 6298-600at Appendix 3 Only two propertieshave directaccess otf this roadi the applicant's addressCutlle Mill Fisheryand the dwellinglocaled at the junctionwith the A4091 The lanealso provides agricultural acc€ss to adjacentllelds.

5.4 Trafficvolume and trafficspeeds on CuttleMill Lane are very low The Lane has good forwardvisibility sight lines The existingpassing places are conveniently locatedal regularintervals along the lane and havesuccessfully marshalled traffic alongthe highwayfor decades.Indeed, during their 25 yearsot ownershipot the fishinglakes, the applicantis unawareof any accidentsor incidentsinvolving cars, lonies,pedeslrians or cyclistsusing Cuttle Mill Lane.

PGH/ADM/6298PD4 Seplemb€r2010 SlansgalePlannang LLP CONCLUSION

6.'l The proposedchange of use of thr€e buildingsat Cutile Mill Fisherieswill provide small-scaleemployment uses in accordancewith PoliciesECON4 and ECON9of the LocalPlan and PPS4.Indeed, some of the buildingsare alreadyin commercialuse. In the case of building1, the proposedchange of use providesan opportunityto restoreits hisioficcharacier. The opennessofthe GreenBelt will be enhancedby the demolitionof a redundantfishery building and no new hardstiandingson the site are proposedThe sit€ is closeto the strategichighway netwoR. Cuttle Mill Lane has good toMard visibilitysight lines and five vehicularpassing spaces, which can b€ enlargedor resurfacedwhere necessary. On balanc€,the proposalmerits the grant of planningpermission.

Our Ret:DGB,MEM 0rl C6 Dltad: July2010 INSTRUCTIONS

Instructionswere received from Mrs J Higginsto atbndthe premises known as CutteMill, Wshaq to carryout an insp€c'tionlhereon and subsequently provideour report on the stsuctural conditon.

Ourinspection was carried out on th July2010 at whichtime the weather was dry andsunny bllorring an extendeddry period.

Wewere advised hat th€ barn,cunently used in thre€sections, for storage,a garageand iank room,was the subjec{of discussionsin termsof possible conversionto residentialor offce accommodation.

DESCRIPTION

The premiseswere sesn likelyconstucted originally in th€ mainin the late 1800's/early'1900's of loadbearingbrid$voft supporting first noor and pitched roof sbucture.A rear lefr side additionhas beenmade likely in the early 1900'sand a morerecent rear right sid€ addition both of singlestorey type. EXTERNAL

StructuralCondition

Obviousdefects to the lay personhave not been includedin our report, althoughwhere considered indicative of a more seriousdefuct, we have discussedthis within our reporl

All directionsare rebrred to as if strandingfacing the elevationcontaining two pedestrianentrance doors and an archedvehicular entrance This is referred to as thetront elevation.

We attachand referyou to ouf limitationsappended to the rearof ourreport andrecommend that the textcontained therein is readin conjunctionwith the mainbody of thereport.

PitchedRoofg

The coveringof plaintile typeover pitched roof structure appeared generally in reasonablygood condition. lsolated tiles were noted slipped, cracked and brokenas wellas weathering/ageing of the pointedridge tiles. We consider in any schemefor refurbishmenuconversionit would be prudentto consider recoveringot the roofs,possibly including insulation and breathablesarking felt in lieuof the existing'although in its presentuse the existingis perfectly serviceable. The pitchof the rearmono pitch roof appeared low for the plaintile covering and the risk of water penetrationis increased.Any recovering/structural worksshould Include due consideration as to lapsin sarkingand the like

The dualpitched roof slructure over the mainbarn was of commonrafrers, suppo(edon purlins,supported at thirdpoints by timberbusses All of the timbersare of some age, the majoritylikely original The quatityof consfuctionreffects the original use ie. as an agriculturalbuilding and in any schemefor refurbishmentwe considerthat repairs/ renewals will be requireq butthe majorityappear serviceable. No significantdistortion in the line/plane of the sfucturewas noted. A thoroughinspection of the timbersfor wood boringinsect attack is required.

Theduai pitched roof structure over the rearlefr "garage' section was visible in part only, the undersideof the rafrershaving been underdrawnwith fibreboard The exposedtrusses appeared to suggestcommon rafrer and purlinconstruction and no distortionin theline/plane ofthe roofwas seen

The monopitched roof structure over the rearright 'tank room'section was notedof commonralter and purlintype. Thepudins were supported at third pointsby propsoff ceilinglevel steel rsj's. Rafrerswere over spanned with resultantdeflection evident in theplane of theroot Weconsider that remedial worksare necessary, likely including either replacement of the raftersin more substantialmembers or provrsronot additionalpurlins to theunderside FrontElevatlon

Thetront elevation was seen of clayfacing brickwork in themain, having been 'decorated'withmock timber ftame and renderedDanels The brickwork appearedgenerally true to lineand level free from significant defect A raking hairlinecrack was evidentover the brickflat arch towardthe right side, indicativeof slightlongstanding differential movement in the structure;this doesnot warrant concern and requires simple repointing We would point out thatthe walls have been altered and amended since original construction with previousopening infilled in blockworkand the like,whilst serviceable in its presentform any schemefor refurbishmentwill requirefairly extensive reDair/renewal.

Timberframed windows and doors within the premises are of adequatequality for oresentuse and in reasonablereoair.

A singlecircular pattern steel framed window was noted installed at highlevel, in reasonableorder.

RlghtElevatlon

The rightelevation was tormed in two parts,that to the originalbarn and that to themore recent rear addition.

The originalsection was formedin clay facingbrickwork extending from groundlevel to the undersideof roofverge. Brickworkwas generally seen in reasonablygood condition given its age and no seriousstructural defects were seen Spalledbrickwork faces and weatheredjoints were apparent requiringattention to repair.

It shouldbe notedthat ground level to the rightside and rear is higherthan that to the front and left side. Any schemelor refurbishmenvconversion shouldtake account of thepossibility of lateralwaler penetration.

The rearaddition of singlestorey construction was of renderfinish, likely of solidconcrete block construction. No significant defects were recorded

Left Elevation

Theleft elevation was formed in twoparts, that to lhe originalbarn and that to the latersingle storey addition.

Therearmost construction was formed in clayfacing brickwork extending from groundto the undersideof roof eaves. Brickworkwas generallyseen in reasonablygood condition given its age and no seriousstructural defects were seen. Spalledbnckwork faces and weatheredjoints were apparent requiringattention to repair.

A timbersub frameand metalup and overgarage door was installed.The installationappeared to includesupport over the openingand no structura defectswere aDDarent as a result The two storeysection was notedot solidclay iacing brickwo.k with more recent mock timber panellingand render. The structureappeared in reasonablygood condition free from significant defect.

R€arElevatlon

The rearelevation was consideredmade up in threesections, the firstfloor sectionof the malnbarn, the leftside rear recent addiuon and the laterrear leftside addition.

The visiblesection of the originalbarn was restrictedto that abovethe roof lineof the additions,and internally.The clayfacing brickwork appeared in reasonablygood condition free of significantshuctural defects.

The rear elevationof the more recentrear right side additionwas noted constructedin concreteblockwork with external render inish No significant structuraldefects ere noted and the construction appeared in goodorder.

The rearelevation of the rear left additionwas seenformed in clay facing brickworkincorporating an up and over garagedoor. The construction appearedin reasonablygood order free ftom significant structural defect. INTERNAL

RoarLeft "Garage"

Theaccommodation was seen formed on onelevel under a dualpitched roof withexposed timber trusses and fbreboard lining to theunderside of common rafrers Perimeterwalls were of decoratedclay facing brickwork, generally notedfree from significant structural defect Decorationand brickworkjoints showedsigns of damageby lateralwater penetration likely as a resultof defectiveflashings in the past. The floorwas overlaidwith polypropylene mattingwhich prevented a closeinspection, but the ffoorsappeared generally trueto lineand level. Furtherinvestigation will be requiredto ascertainif the constructionincludes a damp proof membraneif the use of the area is changed.

RsarRight "Tank Room"

The accommodationwas formedon one levelunder the monopitched roof withexposed roof structure referred to above,requiring repair. Walls were of decoratedconcrete blockwork to the extemalperimeter and decoratedfair facedbrickwork on the rearelevation. No significantstructural defects were recorded.The floor was noted of insituconcrete.

We madenote of a visiblesection of polythenedpm at the frontthreshold to the bam and considerit lkely that a damp proof membranehas been installed. Barn

Theaccommodation consisting of groundfloor and part first 1loor storage was formedunder the dual pitched roof referred to above.Perimeter walls were of one and a half brick thick to the majority There have been numerous alterationsto the premisesover the yearsand areasof brickworkto piers, openingsand other isolatedareas requiremaking good. No significant movementor structuraldistress was evident although clearly any scheme for refurbishmentwill by necessityinclude repairs. The firstfloot storagearea was not accessed,and will requirecomplete renewal in any refurbishment scheme.The ground floor was formed in a mixof brick,likely laid over earth and concrete.We considerrenewal will be requiredto providea suitable damDresistant floor.

To the rightside, tirst flooraccommodation, extending over the groundfloor accommodation,was accessibleby meansof a timberstaircase. The accommodationwas used presently for storage.Decay in rool staircaseand floor timbersin particularwas apparentas a resultof wood boringinsect attackand remedial works will be reouired
