PLANNING POLICY NOTE

THE STRENGTH OF PLANNING POLICY IN DETERMINING PLANNING APPLICATIONS

The Planning process is set up, IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, to protect the public from the unacceptable planning activities of private individuals and development companies. Planning is primarily concerned to deal with issues of land use and the way they affect the environment.

The Council has a DUTY, through the Town & Planning Acts, to prepare a “District Wide” Local Plan to provide a statutory framework for planning decisions.

Breckland’s Plan contains the Council’s planning policies, which must be consistent with Government guidance, particularly with the Planning Policy Guidance (PPGs). The Local Plan now carries significant weight as it was adopted in September 1999.

The full public scrutiny of the Council’s proposals will give the Plan an exceptional weight when dealing with planning applications.

This shift towards a “Plan-led” planning system is a major feature of recent planning legislation. Under s54A of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, planning applications should be determined in accordance with the policies of the Plan, unless material considerations which are relevant to planning indicate otherwise.

PPG1 summarises the objectives of the “plan-led” system as:- • achieving greater certainty; • ensuring rational & consistent decisions; • securing public involvement in shaping local planning policies; • facilitating quicker planning decision; and • reducing the number of misconceived planning applications and appeals. Unless there are special reasons to do otherwise, planning permissions “run with the land”, and are NOT personal licences.

The factors to be used in determining applications will relate to the effect on the “public at large” and will NOT be those that refer to private interests.

Personal circumstances of applicants “will rarely” be an influencing factor, and then, only when the planning issues are “finely balanced”.

THEREFORE we will: • acknowledge the strength of our policies, • be consistent in the application of our policy, and • if we need to adapt our policy, we should do it through the Local Plan process.

Decisions which are finely balanced, and which contradict policy will be recorded in detail, to explain and justify the decision, and the strength of the material planning reasons for doing so.

LOCAL COUNCILS OCCASIONALLY, THERE ARE CONFLICTS WITH THE VIEWS OF THE PARISH OR TOWN COUNCIL. WHY IS THIS?

We ask local parish and town councils to recognise that all comments received are taken into account. In 2001, about 90% of cases had agreement.

Where we disagree it will be because: • Districts look to “wider” policies, and national, regional and county planning strategy. • Case law might dictate a course of action. • There is extra information and views not available to the Local Council. • There is an honest difference of opinion.

102/08 CHAIRMAN'S ANNOUNCEMENTS (AGENDA ITEM 4)

The Chairman introduced Jayne Owen, Senior Development Control Officer to Members, she would be presenting to Committee today.

The Principal Planning Officer (Major Projects) was asked to update Members on the McCarthy & Stone application at Attleborough, which had been considered by Development Control Committee on 9 June 2008 (See Minute No 93/08 (e)). He told Members that the application had been approved subject to the Section 106 Agreement being signed within the 13 weeks. Unfortunately the draft had been received too late to facilitate this and the application had therefore been refused. Further discussions with the applicant were on-going and it was hoped that they would resubmit the application.

103/08 REQUESTS TO DEFER APPLICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGENDA (AGENDA ITEM 5)

There were none.

104/08 URGENT BUSINESS (AGENDA ITEM 6)

No urgent business.

105/08 LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (AGENDA ITEM 7)

The Principal Planning Policy Officer told Members that the documents had been sent out to all Councillors, Town and Parish Councillors and Statutory Stakeholders for the Site Specific consultation. Details were also on the Breckland Council website and representations could be made on-line there. 16 comments had already been posted.

The documents covered two aspects, consultation on Settlement Boundaries and consultation on the 650 sites submitted. There was also an opportunity for other sites to be submitted and Members would be advised of these.

The extensive round of Town and Parish Meetings was continuing with another 16 planned over the next two weeks.

The next meeting of the Policy Development and Review Panel 1 on 15 July 2008 would focus on changes to National and Regional Policy.

106/08 : SITE ADJACENT 18 MILL STREET: SITE FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MR T WICKS: APPLICATION REFERENCE 3PL/2008/0114/O (AGENDA ITEM 8A)

The Senior Development Control Officer told Members that this application had been approved at Development Control Committee on 19 May 2008, subject to a S106 Agreement to secure a long term 2 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

drainage maintenance agreement.

The applicant had requested that this requirement be covered by a condition, rather than a legal agreement. Officers considered that a carefully worded condition would suffice and Members were asked to approve this change.

The Solicitor and Standards Consultant had no objection to this change but considered that the wording should specify ‘ Prior to the commencement of development ’.

A Member asked what the difference was between a condition and a legal agreement in terms of enforcement in perpetuity.

The Solicitor advised that a condition could be subject to immediate appeal by the applicant, whereas a legal agreement was contractually binding for five years. He explained that S106’s were useful where there were a lot of details to be negotiated, but that in this case a condition should suffice.

Another Member asked the reason why the applicant was requesting the change and was told that it was a matter of speed and works could commence much sooner without a legal agreement.

Another Member was concerned that agreeing the change might lead to problems of enforcement in the future, however, the Development Services Manager pointed out that a previous application on this site was the subject of an appeal to be heard by informal inquiry on 31 July 2008 and matters could be taken out of the Council’s hands if this appeal was upheld.

RESOLVED to approve the use of a condition in substitution for the S106 Agreement as recommended, subject to the wording of the condition being changed to Prior to the commencement of the construction of any of the dwellings hereby approved.. etc.

107/08 WATTON: LAND OFF BRANDON ROAD: DEMOLITION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS AND ERECTION OF HOUSING, CREATION OF NEW ACCESS ROAD FOR BOWES OF NORFOLK LTD: APPLICATION REFERENCE: 3PL/2008/0547/O (AGENDA ITEM 9)

Cllr C Bowes and Mrs D Irving declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item and left the room whilst it was discussed. Mrs A Steward declared a personal interest. Mr W Borrett left the meeting before this item.

The Principal Planning Officer (Major Projects) introduced this outline application for approximately 130 dwellings on part of the Bowes of Norfolk site. Currently much of this site was hardstanding, used for parking and storage. A new area for employee parking would be provided within the Bowes site opposite.

A site location plan was shown and the nearby site of an application previously refused at Committee on 19 May 2008 due to noise concerns, was pointed out to Members.

3 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

Photographs were also shown to give context to the site and show its relationship to existing buildings and the open countryside beyond.

A further Noise Assessment had been submitted. This had recommended various measures to mitigate potential noise problems from the road and from the Bowes’ site including enhanced glazing to the dwellings at the front of the site and measures to tackle noise from the plant at its source. As both sites were in the applicants’ ownership it was possible to condition these measures.

With regard to the recreation provision it was proposed that only 25% would be met on site – with the provision of the children’s play area. The other 75% of sports and playing field provision would be met off- site and the current proposal was for an area of approximately three acres at Saham Road to be transferred to Breckland Council and then on to Watton Town Council. This land would fit well with Town Council plans to create a new park.

The District Valuer had been requested to confirm that this offer of land would sufficiently equate to the requirement.

Negotiations about when the land would be transferred had also taken place. Normally the transfer would be triggered by the commencement of development. However in this case the Town Council had asked for an earlier transfer and the applicants had agreed to this in principle.

In conclusion it was considered that this was a suitable site for housing and subject to conditions and a S106 legal agreement, the recommendation was for approval. As the applicants were willing to transfer the land early they were requesting amendments to the other trigger points within the legal agreement. The Principal Planning Officer (Major Projects) suggested that the recreation provision should be the first requirement, followed by the affordable housing element, then education contributions and finally highway contributions. He asked Members to confirm their agreement to this prioritisation of the requirements.

Mr Wells, on behalf of the applicants, was present to answer questions and added that the possibility of an extension to the term of the permission had also been discussed.

Mr Horn and Mr Adcock, representing the Town Council, were excited about the chance of land in relation to the ‘Project Rainbow’ proposals for a new park. Members were shown a plan of an indoor recreational facility that it was hoped would be built on the land, to provide the young people of Watton with somewhere to go and something to do. The early availability of the land would enable a funding application to be submitted.

A Member said it was a shame that the application site was not to be kept as industrial. He considered it a great loss to the town. However, the Principal Planning Officer (Major Projects) explained that there was a significant shortage of housing land in Watton, whereas there were still vacant areas of industrial land and the remaining Bowes site had room for expansion. 4 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

Another Member felt that this was an ideal site for housing development. He said it had always been under-used, was within the Settlement Boundary and complied with Policy requirements. He thought it was exactly what Watton needed.

Approved, as recommended .

Members confirmed that they agreed with the priorities for the legal agreement outlined above.

108/08 SCHEDULE OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS (AGENDA ITEM 10)

(a) Item 1: : The Old Orchard, Bylaugh Hall: Change of use of existing residence to health and fitness centre with proposed extensions for Mrs M Vince: Application Reference: 3PL/2008/0502/F

The Senior Development Control Officer introduced this application for development adjacent to a Grade II listed building and partly within an historic walled garden. The change of use of the dwelling, originally the gardener’s accommodation, to a single storey health and fitness centre included extensions one of which would house a swimming pool. This extension was designed to emulate the original glasshouses which had occupied the site.

Concerns had been raised about the drainage system and the

applicant had agreed to carry out a full CCTV survey of the drainage system. If approval was granted, this would be conditioned to be done prior to the commencement of the use.

Mr Mallen, representing the Parish Council, said that their primary objection was on drainage grounds. There had been problems with sewage flowing into Bylaugh Woods, causing public nuisance and danger to health and this had been going on for years. He asked that a proper survey of the system be carried out.

He also pointed out that a previous application for development on the site had been refused because of its effect on the historic walled garden and asked what had changed?

Finally he was concerned that the extension for the swimming pool and plant room was immediately adjacent to the garden of the neighbouring property and would cause noise and disturbance.

Mr Bambridge (Ward Representative) explained that he had been asked to speak for and against the application. As Mr Mallen had dealt with the objections, he would deal with the applicant’s case.

He said that the development would provide a facility unique in Europe. The intention was to provide people with a Retreat 5 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

Centre where they could recharge their batteries in a quiet Country House setting.

He acknowledged the drainage concerns but pointed out that the applicant had agreed to a full photo survey of the system

and did not consider that the addition of the swimming pool and Jacuzzi would cause undue problems.

A Member asked if the use of the health and fitness centre could be restricted to residents of the Hall as if it was open to guests this could lead to noise and disturbance, however the Solicitor advised that although it was possible to exclude members of the public it was not a planning matter to try to control the management of residents and their guests.

Another Member asked if the historic wall was to be removed and it was confirmed that it would remain.

A Member commented on the awful smell caused by the drainage problems and said these really need to be thoroughly investigated. The Development Services Manager reminded Members that although drainage was a significant issue in this case, the application could not resolve past problems. However, as a strict CCTV condition and the requirement for remedial works could be imposed there was the potential to

resolve this problem.

Members then turned to discussing the design of the building and were shown plans of the elevations. Due to problems with the technology the screens were not as clear as they should be therefore extra time was devoted to ensure that Members fully understood the proposals.

A Member was unhappy with the quality of the design considering the setting of the building within an historic walled

garden.

Another Member asked if noise from the plant room would disturb the neighbour and was told that the building would be well insulated to prevent this.

Approved, subject to additional conditions requiring a CCTV survey of the drainage system and remedial works if necessary, prior to the commencement of the use.

(b) Item 2: Watton: Land off Brandon Road: Demolition of existing buildings and erection of housing, creation of new access roads for Bowes of Norfolk Ltd: Application Reference: 3PL/2008/0547/O

Approved see Minute No 107/08.

(c) Item 3: Snetterton and : Harling Road: Process and storage building for Richard Johnston Ltd: Application Reference: 3PL/2008/0575/F

6 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

This full application was for a large industrial unit adjacent the QD warehouse and included the storage of chemicals which had caused concerns locally.

The Health and Safety Executive had initially raised no objection and had been re-consulted to ensure they were aware of the chemicals to be stored. They had responded by letter confirming that they had no objection.

Plans and elevations of the building were shown. The site was within an area designated for employment use and any approval would include a landscaping condition to minimise any potential impact on the surrounding countryside.

Mrs Lentin, representing the Parish Council, wanted assurances that the chemicals to be stored were not combustible. She was concerned that they were very dangerous and included compounds known to affect DNA. She said that the application had not been well advertised, that they needed to know what was going on and that the planning department did not seem concerned with safety.

Ms Lentin, an objector, referred to another permission for the same company in and said she had been unable to find any information about this on the website. She wanted to know how the products would be transported to the site. She was also concerned with the lack of local publicity of the application and commented that works had already commenced.

The Development Services Manager pointed out that both Snetterton and Quidenham Parish Councils had been consulted. A site notice had been posted and the application had been advertised in the press and details published on the website. It was not usual practice to write to individuals in this kind of situation as they were too widespread.

The Solicitor explained that safety is a material consideration but that there must be positive evidence of serious risk of harm to warrant refusal on safety grounds.

Mr Johnston, representing the Applicant, confirmed that they were doing everything required by the law to conform to safety requirements. They had to get planning permission first before they could apply to the Health and Safety Executive for a license to operate.

With reference to the other permission in Riddlesworth, he explained that it had proved to be too small a site for the operation and therefore they had been approached as they had a large site. The operators would be tenants.

Finally he said that Mr Lentin, who is a chemical engineer, had e-mailed him requesting more details. He had responded to that e-mail but due to a confidentiality agreement with his client, had been unable to provide all the details of the 7 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

commercial processes involved.

Mr Askew (Ward Representative) felt that there was no issue with the building itself as the site was recognised as an industrial area. Extra information had been requested from the

Health and Safety Executive and they had confirmed they had no objection. The company would operate under a licence and this would not be granted if they did not comply with requirements. He therefore felt that as long as the residents were reassured, he could support the application.

A Member questioned if enough water was available to support a sprinkler system within the building and also asked if there would be a noise problem.

Mr Johnston confirmed that a water pipe crossed the site and that, as for other large buildings already present, water would be tanked. He also said that any machinery would be inside the insulated building and therefore there would be very little noise.

The Development Services Manager added that the Fire Officer had been consulted and had raised no objection.

Approved, as recommended.

(d) Item 4: : Moy Park Poultry Unit, Doe Lane: Demolition of redundant pig buildings and erection of 2 broiler houses for Poplar Pigs (Buckenham) Ltd: Application Reference: 3PL/2008/0601/F

This was a full application for the demolition of four pig buildings and the erection of two broiler houses. Other broiler houses were already in operation on the site which lies within the curtilage of an existing farmyard.

Members were shown plans and photographs of the site and told that one letter of objection had been received raising concerns re increased smell and traffic movements.

Mr Joel (Ward Representative) was unable to attend the meeting but supported this application to extend an existing business.

Mr Baines, representing the applicants, told Members that due

to food costs and changes in regulations it was necessary to consolidate operations. The site operates in compliance with the requirements of a permit from the Environment Agency which keeps close control on pollution.

There are five broiler units currently in operation on site and with the additional two a slight increase in vehicle movements, from 11 to 15 per month, would be expected.

Currently the site employs one full time and one part time

person and this was expected to rise to two full time 8 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

employees if this application was approved.

Approved, as recommended.

(e) Item 5: Yaxham: Lord Nelson PH, Road: Single storey

rear extension to create restaurant and internal alterations for Mr B Aslett: Application Reference: 3PL/2008/0709/F

This full application for a single storey, flat roofed extension to the Lord Nelson PH would create a restaurant, entrance lobby, cold store and additional toilets.

Members were shown plans, elevations and photographs of the site.

There had been no objections received from third parties and the Parish Council supported the application as the lack of a restaurant could lead to the loss of the establishment.

Norfolk County Council Highways were recommending refusal due to the restricted visibility at the site entrance which fell well short of their requirements.

Mr Myhill, representing the Parish Council, explained that the pub was a village landmark having been in existence since

1845. He said it was part of the Upper Yare Heritage Trail. The village had recently lost its Post Office and did not want to lose this facility. He told Members that as there was no street lighting in the vicinity, head lights were clearly visible and there had never been a road accident at the site.

Mr Norfolk, the Agent, explained that following a previous refusal they had worked with Highways to try to overcome their objection without success. However, Highways’ own monitoring records showed that there had not been an

accident at the site in over 50 years. There was a 30 mph speed limit at the entrance and he considered it was safe.

Mr Jordan (Ward Representative) said he had not been aware of the previous application until it had been refused, when his phone had not stopped ringing with residents phoning to complain. He asked Members to look at the photograph of the entrance to the site and note that the road had extra width at that point, giving plenty of room for vehicles to take evasive action, if necessary.

A Member pointed out that there had been previous applications to improve facilities at the pub, which had been approved and he could not see the problem this time.

Another Member remarked on the difficulties public houses were having following the introduction of the smoking ban. He did not expect the extension to increase the numbers visiting the pub, only to improve the facilities for those that did.

Two questions were raised about the extension. One Member 9 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

Action By

asked why it was a flat roof and it was explained that the first floor of the pub was used for accommodation and a pitched roof would obstruct the light and view. Another Member asked if the flat roof would support an extension and was told that it would not.

The recommendation for refusal was not supported.

Approved, as Members considered that the access was not dangerous as shown by the lack of any recorded accidents in the area and the site was within the 30mph limit.

(f) Item 6: Thetford: 3 Norwich Road: Erection of new dwelling

with associated access for Abel Homes Ltd: Application

Reference: 3PL/2008/0756/F

This full application was for a new, detached, two storey dwelling and access within the Thetford Conservation Area, adjacent to Grade II listed cottages and Almshouses and on a site containing a protected Horse Chestnut tree.

Although the site was slightly elevated from the highway the height of the proposed dwelling was lower than the adjacent listed cottages.

The existing access to the site was to be realigned to conform with Norfolk County Council Highways requirements. The footpath through the site would be maintained.

The proposed layout maintained the open nature of the site. The Horse Chestnut tree would remain and would be protected by internal fencing. Subject to conditions it was considered that this application would enhance the setting of the Conservation Area.

Mr Bird, representing the applicant, said that much thought and consideration had gone into the proposal. The site was currently unsightly and used by local teenagers and subject to vandalism. The position of the new dwelling would obscure the view of the patchwork repairs to the end gable of the adjacent listed cottage and approval would ensure that the site would be looked after.

Abel’s were commended on the high quality of the detailing by

a Member.

A local Member was also pleased with the proposal and considered it was the best use of a ‘disgusting’ site. She asked if the materials would blend in.

Mr Bird said it was the intention to use high quality bricks and to utilise clay tiles, but that the applicant would be happy to have materials conditioned.

Approved, as recommended. 10 Development Control Committee 3 July 2008

(g) Item 7: : Opposite Farm Gate Cottages, Adjacent (West) of Kilverstone Hall Farm Gate: Erection of large estate agents advertisement board to let commercial buildings for The Kilverstone 1989 Settlement: Applciation Reference:

3PL/2008/0818/A

This application for advertisement consent requested temporary (three year) approval for an estate agent’s board, advertising commercial properties to let and the only issues to be considered were the interests of amenity and public safety.

Members were shown photographs of the site and a plan showing the 1.2m high x 2.4m wide aluminium panel sign to be

mounted on aluminium posts.

A previous application for a five year consent had been withdrawn.

A Member asked for confirmation of the overall height of the sign as the officer’s report said it was approximately 4m high, but the plan shown had stated 5m. It was suggested that the difference might be because 1m would be in the ground, giving a standing height of 4m, but the Development Services Manager said this detail would be checked.

Approved, as recommended.

A Member congratulated the Senior Development Control Officer on her first Committee and then asked why the application for Thetford had been on the agenda. The Development Services Manager explained that the previously withdrawn application had been considered controversial and therefore this scheme had been brought to Committee for determination.

Another Member asked how the figures were arrived at in S106 legal agreements and the Chairman suggested that training should be arranged for the Development Control Committee Members on this matter.

Report of the Strategic Director for Transformation to the Policy Development and Review Panel 1 – 15 th July 2008 Development Control Committee – 21 st July 2008

Five Year Supply of Housing Assessment

1. Purpose of Report

1.1 This report informs members of the content of Breckland’s Five Year Supply of Housing Assessment as required by the Government’s Planning Policy Statement 3 which can be found in Appendix A of this report.

2. Recommendations It is recommended that the Panel:

2.1 Note the contents of this report for their information

Note: In preparing this report, due regard has been had to equality of opportunity, human rights, prevention of crime and disorder, environmental and risk management considerations as appropriate. Relevant officers have been consulted in relation to any legal, financial or human resources implications and comments received are reflected in the report.

3. Background

3.1 Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) sets out the Government’s national planning policy framework for housing. Paragraph 7 of PPS3 requires Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) to assess and demonstrate the extent which existing plans already fulfil the requirement set out in Paragraph 54 of the PPS to identify and maintain a rolling five-year supply of deliverable land for housing. 3.2 In 2007 the Department for Communities and Local Government published guidance on the production of 5 year supply of deliverable sites for housing assessments. Where a Development plan document outlining housing requirements for the District is not adopted, the guidance states that LPAs should use figures adopted in Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS). 3.3 Policy H1 of The East of Plan (the RSS) requires Breckland to deliver at least 15,200 dwellings over the period from 2001 to 2021. This equates to 760 a year. As this annual target has not been met in the years 2001/02 to 2007/08 the annual target for housing delivery in Breckland is now 815 dwellings a year. This figure equates to a five year requirement of deliverable land for 4075 dwellings. Therefore Breckland’s housing supply for the next 5 years needs to assessed against this higher figure. 3.4 Breckland’s “Five Year Supply of Housing Assessment” can be found in Appendix A. The document assesses Breckland’s supply of deliverable sites against the requirement to deliver 4075 dwellings over the period to 2013. Issues

3.5 The assessment identifies that Breckland currently has a 2.8 year supply of deliverable housing sites. This means Breck land is 1786 dwellings short of its 5 year target. Therefore Breckland cannot demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing.

13

3.6 Paragraph 71 of PPS3 states that where LPAs cannot demonstrate a five year supply of housing they must consider planning applications for housing favourably with regard to policies in PPS3 including the wider sustainability considerations outlined in paragraph 69 of the PPS 3.7 For reference, paragraph 69 requires LPAs to have regard to the following when determining planning applications : • Achieving high quality housing • Ensuring developments achieve a mix of housing • The environmental sustainability and the suitability of the site for housing • Using land efficiently and effectively 3.8 The implications of this mean that in certain circumstances a departure from the development plan may be acceptable in policy terms, given the weight of PPS3 as a material consideration in the determination of a planning application for residential development. However, this does not mean that any housing proposal in any location is acceptable. 3.9 The Breckland 5 Year Supply of Housing Assessment found in Appendix A includes a strategy for dealing with planning applications for housing with are not in complete conformity with the saved policies of the Breckland Adopted Local Plan (1999). 3.10 The Breckland 5 Year Supply of Housing Assessment will be updated annually to take into account the results of the District’s Annual Monitoring Report. It is likely that the assessment will be updated in the autumn to take fully into account the outcomes of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment which is currently being prepared.

15 Appendix A

Five Year Supply of Housing Assessment

April 2008

16 1. Background

1.1 Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) sets out the national planning policy framework for Housing. PPS3 was published in November 2006 and replaces Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 (PPG3). The PPS seeks to achieve a step-change in housing delivery, through a more responsive and flexible supply of housing land. Paragraph 7 of PPS3 requires Local Authorities to assess and demonstrate the extent to which existing plans fulfil the requirement set out in Paragraph 54 of PPS3 to identify and maintain a rolling five-year supply of deliverable land for housing. In the case of Breckland, this 5 year supply of housing should meet the housing targets set out in the Plan, the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). The PPS requires this 5 year supply of land to be maintained over the plan period. Importantly paragraph 71 of PPS3 requires Local Authorities to consider planning applications for housing favourably, subject to wider sustainability criteria, if they cannot demonstrate an up-to- date five year supply of housing.

1.2 This document assesses Breckland’s supply of housing over the next five years. It identifies specific sites which the Council considers will deliver housing over the period to 2013. The assessment includes sites which are currently under construction and sites with the benefit of planning permission for housing. As Breckland has not yet produced a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA), the assessment does not include land, deemed suitable for housing which does not yet have planning permission. This assessment has been prepared following guidance from the Planning Inspectorate and Department for Communities and Local Government: Demonstrating a 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Sites (2007). This guidance is available to inspect at www.planning- inspectorate.gov.uk

1.3 In order for sites to be considered as part of the District’s five year housing supply they have to be regarded as deliverable in terms of paragraph 54 of PPS3. In order for sites to be classed as deliverable, paragraph 54 of PPS3 says that sites should be:

••• Available – the site is available for development now ••• Suitable – The site offers a suitable location for development and would contribute to the creation of sustainable, mixed communities ••• Achievable – there is a reasonable prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years.

1.4 As this assessment only takes into account sites with planning permission, all sites identified are considered to be suitable and available, as this test was made at the application stage. It is possible that not all sites will be achievable within the 5 year period.

1.5 To further test deliverability of large sites with planning permission (25 dwellings and above) a questionnaire was sent to applicants seeking

17 their intentions for development on the site. The questionnaire can be seen in Appendix 2. Where the developer intentions were not available a judgement has been made by officers on the achievability of the site based on local experience.

1.6 As of 1st April 2008 there were in excess of 450 small-scale sites with planning permission. It is therefore seen as unfeasible to appraise the achievability of every small-scale site. For small sites (Under 25 dwellings) an average completion rate has been applied based on past trends. Appendix 3 lists all small-scale sites with planning permission.

2. Breckland Five Year Housing Requirement

2.1 Policy H1 of The East of England Plan (Regional Spatial Strategy) requires Breckland to deliver at least 15,200 dwellings over the plan period to 2021. This equates to 760 a year. Table 1 shows the housing requirement in detail. Between the financial year 2001/2002 and 2007/2008, 4,600 dwellings have been completed in Breckland. The East of England Plan required 5,320 dwellings to be completed over this period. Therefore, over the remainder of the plan Breckland will have to deliver 815 dwellings per year. The five year housing requirement for the District is therefore 4,075 dwellings.

3. Breckland Five Year Deliverable Housing Supply

3.1 As stated in Paragraph 1.2 above, this assessment includes only sites with planning permission. As of April 2008, 2,142 dwellings had the benefit of planning permission. In addition to this figure there were three large sites permissions (>=25 dwellings) for a total of 611 dwellings

18 where the principle of development is accepted but is awaiting a Section 106 agreement. 3.2 It is expected that not all of these dwellings will be completed within the five year period of this assessment. As described in Paragraphs 1.5 and 1.6 identified sites with planning permission were split into two categories, large sites (25+ dwellings) and small sites (less than 25 dwellings). 3.3 Table 2 shows the expected delivery of housing on identified sites.

TABLE 2

2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 Total Large Sites 297 167 288 257 267 1276 Small Sites 331 331 331 20 0 1013 Total 628 498 619 277 267 2289 Requirement 815 815 815 815 815 4075 Shortfall/ Surplus -187 -317 -196 -538 -548 -1786

3.4 Appendix 1 shows the identified large sites and how they contribute to the housing projections in Table 2 .

3.5 Based on the previous 7 years of completion data the total annual average completions on small scale sites are 331 dwellings a year. There has been a gradually rising trend, but this has not been extrapolated in the projections due to uncertainty in the current housing market. Instead, the above mentioned average has been used across the forthcoming years. Breckland has an extremely low small-scale site permission lapse rate of 3%. As of the 1st April 2008, there were 1044 dwellings with the benefit of planning permission on small-scale sites. Assuming 3% of these sites will lapse, it is likely that 1013 of these dwellings will be delivered over the plan period as shown in Table 2.

3.6 It is evident from Table 2 that the projected completions over the next 5 years are below the required completions. From Table 2 it can be concluded that Breckland has a 2.8 year deliverable housing supply and is 1786 dwellings short of the 5 year target.

4. Strategy for Dealing with Planning Applications for Housing

4.1 As shown in Section 3 above, Breckland is short of demonstrating a 5 year deliverable supply of housing. Therefore, the implications of Paragraph 71 of Planning Policy Statement 3 are applicable to Breckland.

19 4.2 To help remedy the situation Breckland will consider applications for housing favourably in line with the policies set out in Paragraphs 71 and 69 and the other policies in Planning Policy Statement 3.

4.3 In order to consider applications for housing favourably in line with Paragraph 71 of Planning Policy Statement 3 it may be necessary to make a departure from the current development plan, particularly around the requirements of Policy HOU.6 of the saved policies of the Breckland Adopted Local Plan (1999)

4.4 Where a site is outside a defined Settlement Boundary as defined in the proposal maps of the Breckland Adopted Local Plan (1999) and therefore contrary to Policy HOU.6, the following information will be required from the applicant to justify a departure from the Development Plan.

• A statement of how the proposal meets the requirements of Paragraph 69 of PPS3 • A statement which confirms that housing on the site is deliverable in line with the requirements of Paragraph 54 of PPS3 within the 5 year period outlined in this document. In order for a site to be considered deliverable it should be: o Available – the site is available and a developer can be found and constraints overcome to ensure development of the site can begin within the 5 year period. o Suitable – the site is in a sustainable location an there are no conflicts with the policies contained within PPS3 and other relevant national and regional policy. o Achievable - a timetable of when dwellings are expected to be completed on site within the 5 year period should be included • An assessment of any saved policies of the Breckland Adopted Local Plan (1999) to which the proposal is contrary, explaining why, in sustainability terms, the development should proceed contrary to the development plan

4.5 The strategy outlined above will remain in effect until future revisions to this document.

20 5. Conclusion and Future Actions

5.1 Section 3 outlines that as of April 2008 Breckland does not have a 5 year supply of deliverable sites for housing. Therefore planning applications for housing will be assessed with regard to the strategy outlined in Section 4 above.

5.2 It should be noted that Breckland should have a Site Specific Policies and Proposals Development Plan Document in place by the end of 2010 so it is likely that further completions will be achieved on allocated sites towards the end of the 5 year period.

5.3 Breckland is also committed to producing a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) prior to submission of the Core Strategy. The SHLAA will identify further areas of deliverable housing land that will contribute to the 5 year requirement.

5.4 This 5 Year Supply of Housing Assessment will be monitored and updated annually linked to the results of the Annual Monitoring Report. It is expected that upon completion of the SHLAA this assessment will be updated to take into account the results of the SHLAA.

Appendix 4: Paragraphs from Planning Policy Statement 3 mentioned in this assessment

Paragraph 7:

“On publication of this PPS, Local Planning Authorities will need to assess and demonstrate the extent to which existing plans already fulfil the requirement set out in this statement to identify and maintain a rolling five-year supply of deliverable land for housing, particularly in connection with making planning decisions (see paragraphs 68 to 74).”

Paragraph 54:

“Drawing on information from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and or other relevant evidence, Local Planning Authorities should identify sufficient specific deliverable sites to deliver housing in the first five years. To be considered deliverable, sites should, at the point of adoption of the relevant Local Development Document: – Be Available – the site is available now. – Be Suitable – the site offers a suitable location for development now and would contribute to the creation of sustainable, mixed communities. – Be Achievable – there is a reasonable prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years.”

Paragraph 69:

“In general, in deciding planning applications, Local Planning Authorities should have regard to: – Achieving high quality housing. – Ensuring developments achieve a good mix of housing reflecting the accommodation requirements of specific groups, in particular, families and older people. – The suitability of a site for housing, including its environmental sustainability. – Using land effectively and efficiently. – Ensuring the proposed development is in line with planning for housing objectives, reflecting the need and demand for housing in, and the spatial vision for, the area and does not undermine wider policy objectives eg addressing housing market renewal issues.”

Paragraph 71:

“Where Local Planning Authorities cannot demonstrate an up-to-date five year supply of deliverable sites, for example, where Local Development Documents have not been reviewed to take into account policies in this PPS or there is less than five years supply of deliverable sites, they should consider favourably planning applications for housing, having regard to the policies in this PPS including the considerations in paragraph 69.”

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE – 21st JULY 2008

REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MANAGER (Author: Nick Moys, Principal Planning Officer (Major Projects))

SNETTERTON: PROPOSED BUSINESS PARK & ALTERATIONS TO MOTOR RACING CIRCUIT, HARLING ROAD Applicant: MOTORSPORT VISION LIMITED Reference: 3PL/2008/0600/0

Summary – This report concerns a planning application a new business park and alterations to the existing motor racing circuit at Snetterton. It is recommended that planning permission is granted subject to conditions.

1. INTRODUCTION This report concerns a hybrid planning permission for development at the Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit. Full permission is sought for alterations to the existing track layout. These alterations include a new infield loop and alterations to two corners at the western end of the circuit. Outline planning permission is sought for a new business park that would include a 50 bedroom hotel, conference centre (1,950m 2), retail showrooms (10,500m 2), offices (2,050m 2), light industrial/engineering units (8,100m 2), racing team units (6,070m 2) and a racing school (1,200m 2).

The application is supported by a number of technical reports, including a Design & Access Statement, Flood Risk Assessment, Transport Assessment, Noise Assessment, Sustainability Report, Ecological Assessment, Reptile Survey and a Contamination Desk Study Report.

The application site is located to the south of the A11 Snetterton Interchange and forms part of the established Snetterton Heath employment area. The site of the business park extends to 12.5 hectares and comprises mainly undeveloped grassland. The site is adjoined by the Sunday Market, the Motor Racing Circuit and other industrial/warehousing uses.

2. KEY DECISION This is not a key decision.

3. COUNCIL PRIORITIES The following Council priorities are relevant to this report: • A safe and healthy environment • A well planned place to live and work

4. CONSULTATIONS Snetterton Parish Council has raised no objection to the application. Comments have been made about the mix of proposed uses, traffic generation and employment creation.

Quidenham Parish Council has raised no objection to the application. Comments have been made about noise, traffic and power supply issues.

49 The Highway Authority has raised no objection to the application, subject to conditions requiring off-site highway improvements and the implementation of travel plan initiatives.

The Highways Agency has requested additional information in relation to traffic generation and sustainable transport options. Further comments are awaited in response to the additional information provided by the applicant.

The Environment Agency has raised no objection subject to conditions relating to drainage, pollution control, landscape management and wildlife protection.

Natural England has requested information about wildlife mitigation proposals.

Comments are awaited from the East of England Regional Assembly.

The Council’s Environmental Health Officer has requested that further information in respect of noise be provided.

At the time of writing, one letter of objection had been received from a local resident, raising concerns about noise problems associated with the racing circuit.

Prior to the submission of the application, consultation with local residents was undertaken by the applicant through a series of public meetings and exhibitions.

5. POLICY Relevant national planning policies are set out in PPS 1 Delivering Sustainable Development , PPS 6 Planning for Town Centres , PPS 7 Sustainable Development in Rural Areas , PPS 9 Biodiversity & Geological Conservation , PPG 4 Industrial, commercial development and small firms , PPG 13 Transport , and PPG 24 Planning and Noise .

At a regional level, the recently adopted East of England Plan (RSS) sets an employment growth target to 2021 for Breckland of 6,000 new jobs. Thetford and Norwich are identified as key centres for change, and the importance of the motor sport cluster focussed on Hethel is acknowledged.

Saved Local Plan Policy ECO.2 is directly relevant to the proposed development. Policy ECO.2 allocates land at Snetterton Heath for B1 light industrial, B2 business and B8 storage/distribution uses subject to criteria relating to landscape impact, access and traffic. The application site falls within the Snetterton Heath Employment Area, as defined in the Local Plan. Emerging policy in the draft Core Strategy identifies Snetterton as a strategic location for employment development.

6. ASSESSMENT The principal issues raised by the application concern: i) the extent to which the proposals would accord with relevant local and national planning policy, ii) noise, iii) traffic generation, and iv) the likely impact of the development on the rural landscape and local ecology.

Policy The proposed development would be generally consistent with RSS, saved Local Plan and emerging LDF policies relating to employment development at Snetterton Heath. The development would represent a significant investment in economic development in the area, and would create an estimated 500 new jobs. The

50 application site is the last significant area of underdeveloped land with the current employment allocation.

The proposed light industrial/engineering units, offices, motor racing team bases and racing school would accord with saved Local Plan Policy ECO.2, which allocates land at Snetterton for such business uses. The proposed hotel/conference centre and retail showrooms fall outside the remit of Policy ECO.2 and need to be considered in the context of national planning policy, principally as set out in PPS 6. National policy requires justification to be provided where ‘town centre’ uses, like hotels and retailing, are proposed outside established centres.

In support of the proposed hotel reference is made to the need for additional hotel accommodation in the locality, particularly for those attending race meetings at the adjacent circuit. It is considered that the proposed hotel would better meet this specific need than a similar facility located in any nearby centre, and would complement the enhanced circuit facilities and business park. Accordingly it is considered that the proposal is justified on the grounds of need and that the requirements of policy would be met.

The proposed retail showrooms are intended to be occupied by a range of specialist car and motorcycle dealerships from the high performance and motor sport related sectors. The intention is to offer an experience not available elsewhere in the UK by concentrating such uses is one place and by providing opportunities for potential customers to test drive vehicles on the adjacent motor racing circuit. Whilst retailing in this location would normally conflict with planning policy, given the specialist nature of the proposal and the synergy with the motor racing circuit and associated racing school and advanced engineering units, it is considered that a case can be made for the proposed showrooms, provided that adequate controls can be attached to the planning permission to regulate their use. Discussions with the applicant on this last point are on-going.

Noise Noise from racing and testing activities at Snetterton Circuit have given rise to significant local concerns in recent times. In response to a Noise Abatement Notice served by the Council in 2007, a Best Practical Means (BPM) statement was drawn up in order to control noise emissions to reasonable levels. This statement includes a number of controls on the hours and frequency of activities involving unsilenced vehicles and requires liaison with local residents. A further Abatement Notice served in January 2008 requires adherence to the BPM statement and the construction of noise bund at the eastern end of the circuit (for which planning permission was granted in May). Following further discussions with Environmental Health Officers, a draft Noise Management Plan for the Circuit has been produced by the applicant. The Plan proposes various measures to control noise from the Circuit.

A Noise Assessment submitted in support of the planning application considers the likely impact of the proposed circuit alterations on noise. The report concludes that, provided the current limit on the number of vehicles permitted to use the circuit at any on time is maintained, the proposals would not result in additional disturbance to local residents and may result in some beneficial effects. Following consultation with Environmental Health Officers, additional information about anticipated noise emissions has been requested. At the time of writing, this information was still awaited.

51 Highway safety Access to the proposed development would be gained off the A11 via the Snetterton Interchange and the Harling Road. A new roundabout access into the site is proposed onto Harling Road. The Transport Assessment submitted in support of the application concludes that the surrounding road network is adequate to cater for the traffic likely to be generated by the proposed development. Due to the relatively remote location of the site, opportunities for travel other by car are limited. However, it is considered that the potential for sustainable transport options should be explored further through the preparation of travel plans for the various elements of the proposal. Norfolk County Council, as local highway authority, has raised no objection to the application subject to conditions requiring the proposed junction improvements and the preparation/implementation of travel plans. Further comments are awaited from the Highways Agency.

Landscape impact/local ecology The application site, which is located within a gently undulating rural landscape, has many of the characteristics associated with former airfields, being flat, open and rather windswept. The site is not generally prominent in long or medium distance views, and it is not anticipated that the proposed development will have a significant visual impact on the wider landscape. Much of the development would be low and linear in form, echoing the character of the landscape, with only the hotel rising above two storeys to create a landmark building close to the site entrance. New landscaping around the perimeter of the site would further help to assimilate the development into its landscape setting. Although only in outline form the application is supported by indicative designs which demonstrate a commitment to high quality design.

Wildlife surveys undertaken have identified a population of common lizards within part of the area proposed for commercial developments. In order to mitigate the impact of the development it is proposed to translocate the lizard population to another part of the site which would be managed for its wildlife value. In response to concerns raised by the Environment Agency, additional information has been submitted to elaborate the proposed mitigation measures and to identify opportunities for further enhancement of biodiversity.

Other issues Information submitted in support of the application identifies a number of opportunities to incorporate sustainable construction measures, including on-site renewables, passive solar design, green building materials and sustainable drainage options. For developments of this sort, Policy ENG.1 of the East of England Plan requires 10 per cent of energy needs to be met on site. Discussions are on-going to establish how the applicant’s stated aspirations may be translated into measurable environmental performance standards, such as BREEAM ratings.

Conclusions The proposed development would represent a significant investment into the local economy and would be consistent with the general policy objective of promoting Snetterton as a strategic location for employment growth. The proposed business park would not result in any material harm to the character of the area or to local amenity. Adequate measures can be incorporated into the development to mitigate its likely impact on wildlife. Subject to further comments from the Highways Agency, it is considered that the development would be adequately served by the existing road network, whilst measures to improve the site entrance and to promote sustainable transport could be required by condition. The impact of noise from the existing motor racing circuit remains an issue of concern and further information is

52 currently awaited in order to enable the impact of the proposed business park and circuit alterations. It is currently anticipated that these matters are capable of satisfactory resolution subject to appropriate controls and restrictions being agreed.

7. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that planning permission is granted subject to conditions (to include matters relating to detailed design, noise, landscaping, wildlife mitigation, phasing, access/parking, travel plans, drainage, and sustainable construction).

REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MANAGER (Author: Sue Bloomfield: Planning Obligations Officer)

LAND AT DUNLOP ROAD/DE HAVILLAND ROAD, DEREHAM

REFERENCE: 3PL/1987/1419/F APPLICANT: MCLEAN FAMILY TRUST/BLOOR HOMES

1. This report relates to two pieces of land (coloured red) on a development that was granted outline permission in 1987 to the applicants, and which was subject to a Section 106 Agreement and development brief that required the delivery of open space within the development.

2. These areas were provided under subsequent reserved matters applications, and were required in line with policy REC.2 of the Local Plan (Adopted September 1999), which was valid at the time of the applications and decisions.

3. The developments have now been completed for some time and the areas remain in the ownership of Bloor Homes, who have continued to maintain them. The adoption of the areas is imminent, however only the areas marked A and B were included within the site area on the original Section 106 Agreement.

4. In order that all of the areas shown on the attached plan can be adopted our Asset Management team require formal authorisation from Members that the two areas marked red can be included within the adoption.

5. Should these areas be adopted by the Council, commuted sums to the amount of £17,681.46 have been agreed for ongoing maintenance.

6. It is considered that these areas are important in terms of their amenity value not only to the residents of the development, but to residents of existing neighbouring developments.

7. RECOMMENDATION: That Members agree that the areas of public open space referred to should be adopted and maintained publicly in order to ensure their future retention and maintenance.

ASSESSMENT NOTES * This application is a resubmission of an application considered by the Development Control Committee on the 2nd April 2007. * The application was refused for the following reason: It is the opinion of the Council that in the absence of a suitable marketing campaign the applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is no longer a need for such premises in the locality. * The 12 month advertising campaign has been carried out with respect to the dwelling and evidence has been submitted detailing the number of details sent out and the dates on which the property was advertised. * The campaign has been unsuccessful in securing a buyer who is able to satisfy the agricultural restriction. * The building has now been appropriately marketed and it is considered that it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that there is no longer a need locally for such premises in the locality. * The previous reason for refusal has therefore been overcome. * Approval is therefore recommended.

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The proposal is referred to Development Control Committee as this is a major application. * The proposed development is considered to be acceptable in principle. The proposed use would be compatible with the surrounding area and make good use of an area of vacant land. * The design of the proposed development is also considered to be acceptable. * Concerns have been raised about the impact of the development on existing boundary hedgerows and landscaping. On two sides, the site is bounded by established boundary hedges, which mark the perimeter of the business park. Hedging and trees on the road frontage forms part of the strategic landscaping for the business park. In order to ensure that existing landscaping is retained, revisions to the proposed site layout have been sought to ensure that adequate space between hedging and buildings is maintained. Negotiations on this matter are currently on-going.

67 BRECKLAND COUNCIL - DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - 21-07-2008

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The proposal is referred to Development Control Committee as the application is a major application. * The site is outside the settlement boundary of the village of Beachamwell and within Beachamwell Conservation Area. * The proposal is for the erection of a new agricultural building. The proposed building would measure 23 m in width by 51 m in length to a height of 7 m to eaves. * The site is surrounded on three sides by mature trees. * The reason for the proposal is that although there are a number of buildings on site that have been used for grain storage and machinery storage previously these are now becoming inefficient to use due to their size and construction especially when compared to the size of modern day agricultural machinery. * The new building would provide a modern building of adequate height and footprint to be used as a bulk grain store and for the storage of agricultural machinery, the colours of the external cladding have been chosen to blend in with the trees/natural hedging in the area. * The proposal involves the removal of three small trees. New tree planting is proposed comprising new oak and birch trees in the line of trees along the roadway and new walnut trees to be planted parallel to the eastern wall of the new building to reduce the visual impact of the proposed building from the public highway. * Access to the site would be from the existing public highway along the internal farm roadway which is proposed to be upgraded and extended up to the south gable of the new building in concrete paving to serve existing Barn A and the new building. * Following the concerns raised by both the Council's Tree and Countryside Officer and the Council's Historic Buildings Officer the proposed building has been reduced in size and the design amended to better reflect the rural context. * The applicant states that the new facility is not intended as a replacement for the existing building. The existing building will be utilised for the storage of small farm machinery which is currently stored to the east of the site in disused dilapidated cattle stores. * The proposed development is considered acceptable in planning policy terms and may therefore be approved subject to conditions. * Approval is recommended subject to the following conditions.

REPRESENTATIONS Two letters raising the following concerns: That the proposed dwelling would be small, cramped and of lower quality than previous design and would therefore not conserve the property values of the area. * Impact on privacy * Site is fronted by vole run in vicinity of the pond and other identified protected species, eg kingfisher, barn and owl.

ASSESSMENT NOTES * The proposal is referred to Development Control Committee as the application site has a history of refusals and is locally sensitive. Three of the previous refusals have been the subject of appeals which were dismissed, two of these pre-date the adoption of the Breckland District Local Plan 1999 * In the latest dismissed appeal in 2003 the Inspector stated "I would not rule out development of the land on the basis of it possessing inherent qualities as open space or for its contribution to the setting of the village" but felt that a "suburban built up appearance should be avoided". * A previous application for a one and a half storey dwelling was refused by Members contrary to the officer's recommendation at the development control committee held on the 7th April 2008. * Members concerns were that the footprint of the proposed dwelling was too large for the site and with regard to the impact of the proposed garage in the front garden. * The application proposes a two storey dwelling comprising two elements: * a principal gabled element providing dining/lounge at ground floor level with three bedrooms and bathroom above; * with a secondary element set back from the principal element and comprising utility/kitchen at ground floor with further bedroom and en-suite above. * The footprint of the proposed dwelling is significantly reduced from that previously considered and the proposed dwelling would be significantly lower in height than adjacent dwellings. * The adjacent dwellings are of a modern appearance with large double garages in front * The proposed garage is set 6m further back into the plot and has been redesigned. * Proposed materials for the dwelling include random flint noble with brick quoins clay pantiles and brickwork to be agreed with the Local Planning Authority. For the garage black stained featheredge weatherboard and clay pantiles are proposed. * The potential for overlooking has been addressed by the proposal. The only windows above first floor level would be an en-suite window on the east elevation and a bathroom window on the west elevation both of which would be obscure glazed. * Established hedges form the east, west boundaries and there is established hedging along the road frontage each side of the entrance. * The Council's Historic Buildings Officer raises no objection having regard to the immediate context and the minimal visual impact on the surrounding area and subject to conditions. * The proposed dwelling is considered acceptable in terms of its design and appearance and that, if approved, it would not be significantly detrimental to the character and appearance of the conservation area sufficient to warrant a refusal. * Approval is recommended subject to conditions.
