Introduction

1. This application is reported to the Planning Committee in view of the level of concern expressed by the occupants of neighbouring properties. Site and Surroundings

2. Manor Cottage is an attractive 2 storey house set in a wide plot and fronting onto the Lees and is situated within the Boughton Aluph Conservation Area. It is close to the junction with the A251 Faversham Road. The house is situated more or less centrally within the width of the plot and there is a gap between the house and the boundary on both sides. However, the gap on the northern eastern side of the house is partially occupied by a large detached garage.

3. Site location plans are attached as annex 1. Proposal

4. The application is for full planning permission to demolish the garage and erect a two storey 3 bedroom house between Manor Cottage and the adjoining house Clare Cottage. 4.1 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

Proposed new Dwelling

Figure 1: Proposed Site Plan

5. Until recently there was one vehicular access into the plot from the highway and this was in front of the detached garage. A new access which is more centrally situated has been created using permitted development rights and will provide access to the south western side of the house, where it is proposed to provide 2 parking spaces and a turning head. This would provide parking for Manor Cottage and the established access would provide access for the proposed new dwelling.

6. The plot for the proposed new house is narrower at the front than at the rear and the gap to the boundary with Clare Cottage would be1.38m at the front corner of the proposed house widening to 2.3m at the rear corner. The proposed house would have a gross internal floor area of 165m² which is well in excess of the SPD minimum essential standard of 87m² for a 4 person 3 bedroom house. Planning History

Consultations

Ward Member: The Ward Member is a Member of the Planning Committee and has asked for this application to be reported to the Committee.

Parish Council: Comments awaited.

Kent Highways Services - has no objections to the proposals but request conditions to be attached requiring details to be agreed for arrangements for operatives vehicles to be accommodated, surface water disposal, avoidance of mud being deposited on the road, parking and turning spaces to be provided before the new dwelling is occupied and retained for use and the provision of visibility splays. It is noted that parking for both the existing and proposed properties is in accordance with the Residential Parking SPD.

KHS also notes that the proposed access for the existing property at Manor Cottage is located in excess of 15m from the junction with the A251, which is acceptable and that the new access has good visibility splays in excess of current standards allowing drivers good visibility onto Wye Road.

Neighbours: 12 neighbours have written in response to this application raising the following objections:

• The proposed development is too large for the site

• More than half of the garden at Manor Cottage will have been built over if the recent extension and proposed parking are included.

• The density of building is out of proportion with the rest of the buildings around the village green.

• The existing access already causes problems; parked cars make the road single track. The additional access will force cars to park closer to the A251 junction which will be dangerous.

• There is a marked increase in traffic along Lees Road since the building of Trinity Road.

• The proposed property would restrict views from the village green.

• This part of the village is a Conservation Area and such infilling would be detrimental to the intensions of the Conservation Area. Manor Cottage and its surrounding front and side garden are a clearly visible distinctive part of the Conservation Area.

4.3 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

• The proposal would be contrary to the village design statement. One of the principle aims of the Village Design Statement is to maintain the rural character of the area

• The additional surface water will add to rain water runoff problems

• If permitted, the driveway should be grasscrete or similar to soften the appearance of the additional hardsurfacing.

• A neighbour was run over whilst crossing the road. A Mercedes has crashed into the drive of Newland House. A lorry has driven into the hedge next door to Newland House. A car has turned upside down outside Newland House on the junction. A car has crashed through the hedges and into 2 houses. Another car turned upside down 3 houses away from Newland House.

• There have been numerous lesser accidents with cars going into the back of cars waiting to turn right at the junction.

• Details of the rain water drainage from the new drive are not specified.

• The gullies have not been cleaned for a long time and water does not drain away as it should but stays on the road, this adds to the likelihood of accidents.

• Pictures are available of all of the above accidents on request

• Re submitting plans of a smaller dwelling is an anticipated ploy to get the Council to agree to a compromise.

• The current owners do not have enough room for their own cars/business vehicles. There will be continuous shuffling of vehicles in and out of the new access.

• The new access is even closer to the junction. The new access is closer to the junction than shown on the plans.

• The application should be rejected for safety reasons alone.

• It is a shame to turn the garden of Manor Cottage into a car park in this picturesque village.

• The scale of the new building and its proximity to Clare Cottage will detract considerably from that property owner’s enjoyment of their home.

• One of the reasons for living in Boughton Lees is the variety of property and feeling of space. The village green is enjoyed by visitors as well as residents 4.4 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

• The proposal would be contrary to EN16 (Development in Conservation Areas).

• This is not a minor infill, and will not be easily integrated

• Clare Cottage has 2 large windows facing the plot for the proposed new house. Light to and views from Clare Cottage would be limited.

• The proposed house would be too close to the boundary with insufficient space for a boundary hedge

• The position of the ‘front’ door on the side of the house is not a good design.

• The plans do not show the correct width of Clare Cottage and therefore the plot may be smaller than shown.

• The proposed dwelling is far too close to both Manor Cottage and Clare Cottage. The sense of space between Clare Cottage and Manor Cottage would be lost and its value would be affected.

• Large Irish Yews near the parking area for Manor Cottage are missing from the drawings and could be affected by the parking and turning area. A length of beech hedge has been removed to accommodate the new driveway. Planning Policy

10. The Development Plan comprises the Regional Spatial Strategy (The South East Plan, May 2009), the saved policies in the adopted Ashford Borough Local Plan 2000, the adopted LDF Core Strategy 2008, the adopted Ashford Town Centre Area Action Plan 2010 and the Tenterden & Rural Sites DPD 2010.

11. The Localism Act received Royal Assent on 15th November 2011. It should be noted that the Act enables the government to abolish regional spatial strategies through the making of Orders that will follow on from a 12-week consultation period in relation to eight strategic environmental assessments that deal with the proposal to scrap regional spatial strategies. Until such time as any Orders that are made come into force, the South East Plan remains part of the Development Plan for the purposes of decision making.

12. The relevant policies from the Development Plan relating to this application are as follows:-

14. Members should note that the determination must be made in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Assessment

15. Boughton Lees is listed in Tenterden and Rural Sites DPD Policy TRS1 as one of the villages where minor development or infilling will be acceptable. The development of one dwelling within the built up confines of Boughton Lees is therefore acceptable in principle subject to the other issues raised below. 4.6 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

16. The other main points to be considered are as follows:

• the impact of the proposal on the Conservation Area,

• highway safety,

• the impact upon neighbouring properties,

• the design of the proposed house

• compliance with the Development Plan and the Boughton Aluph and Eastwell Parish Design Statement.

• The impact on trees

Conservation Area

17. In considering whether to grant planning permission with respect to any buildings or other land in a conservation area, the local planning authority has a statutory duty to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the appearance of that area.

18. PP5 is the Government policy document for Conservation Areas and this is supplemented by English Heritage’s Historic Environment Planning Practice Guide. Local planning authorities are required to identify and assess the particular significance of any element of the historic environment that may be affected by the relevant proposal and this includes the setting of a heritage asset. In this case the heritage asset is the Conservation Area as the buildings either side are not listed buildings. Policy H7.5 requires local planning authorities to take into account the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to the character and local distinctiveness of the historic environment. The consideration of design should include scale, height, massing, alignment, materials and use.

19. Manor Cottage is unusual as a property fronting The Lees in that it has an area of garden on both sides as well as to the rear. The proposed development would occupy an area to the north east side of Manor Cottage, which is currently occupied by a large detached garage. Manor Cottage is not a listed building and the proposed development has to be considered on the basis of whether it would preserve or enhance the character of the area. Given that the houses fronting the Lees on its south eastern side are a mixture of old and new properties and styles and that the majority of them have very small gaps between them, the loss of the gap is not as significant as may be first thought. The degree of harm is difficult to argue that the proposal for Manor Cottage would harm to either the character or the distinctiveness of the Conservation Area is likely to be limited. 4.7 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

20. Policy EN16 of the Ashford Borough Local Plan also seeks to preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area. The policy lists buildings and streets of townscape character, trees, open spaces, walls, fences or any other features which contribute positively to the character and appearance of the area to be retained. The existing garage is considered to be neutral neither contributing nor harming the character and appearance of the area. The garage sits centrally between Manor House and Clare Cottage therefore the gaps on either side of the garage are in the order of 3m wide. This is not what is meant when the policy describes open spaces to be retained.

21. Core Strategy CS1 seeks the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment and built heritage of the Borough.

22. The proposed new dwelling would occupy a plot which is narrower at the front than at the rear. In the location where the front elevation of the proposed dwelling would be sited, the plot would be 12m in width. As the existing properties have varying plot widths including some very narrow terraced properties, this would not be out of character with other properties in the Conservation Area.

Highway Safety

23. Much of the concern raised by neighbours relates to the new access and highway safety. The new access has been constructed under permitted development rights, which means that it was not necessary to obtain planning permission to create the new access. Its construction has been agreed with the Kent Highway Services. The KHS officer who advises on planning applications has no objection to the planning application on highway grounds.

24. There is a history of accidents at and near the junction with the A251 and the neighbour at Newlands House has photographic evidence of many of these accidents as vehicles tend to end up in his front garden. The problem is usually that vehicles turning right into Wye Road (also called Lees Road by some residents) are either shunted from behind or are hit by vehicles travelling down the hill from Challock and which are unable to stop. If a car is travelling on the wrong side of Wye Road in order to overtake parked cars outside Manor Cottage and neighbouring properties, drivers trying to turn right from the A251 can be stranded across the A251 with no escape and are therefore very vulnerable to being hit by traffic speeding down the hill.

25. The new access at Manor Cottage should mean that vehicles will not park in front of the access and this could improve highway safety. However, residents fear that the additional house would result in additional on street parking and additional movements in and out of driveways close to the junction, both of which would exacerbate the existing problems. Kent

4.8 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

Highways Services are satisfied that the development would not be harmful to highway safety and has therefore not objected to the proposal.

26. The officer from Kent Highways who advises on planning applications has visited the site since the new access was constructed and is satisfied that it is a sufficient distance from the junction with the A251.

Impact upon neighbouring property

27. The proposed new house would only directly affect one property and this is Clare Cottage which is a two storey house adjoining the north eastern boundary of the site.

28. Clare Cottage occupies a plot of just over 15m and is situated just over 2m away from the boundary with Manor Cottage. The proposed new dwelling would be 1.38m from the boundary with Clare Cottage at the front and this distance increases towards the rear. Clare Cottage has 2 windows on the side elevation. The ground floor window is obscured by a hedge and the first floor window looks out over the side and rear garden of Manor Cottage. The proposal would impact upon the daylight to and the view from the first floor side window at Clare Cottage but this room is also served by a window on the front elevation. The proposed new dwelling is set back further on its plot than the houses on either side and would project beyond the rear of Clare Cottage by 4.5m. However, due the distance separating the two properties at the rear, this would not impinge upon the 45º line. The harm is therefore not considered sufficient to warrant refusal on the grounds of the impact upon neighbour amenities.

29. The projection of the proposed new dwelling rearwards of Manor Cottage would result in a conflict with the 45º line. However, as the new house would be to the north east of Manor Cottage it would only restrict sunlight early in the morning and the affected rear windows would retain a good outlook onto the large open garden area that would remain at Manor Cottage. The development is of course proposed by the occupant of Manor Cottage and any future occupier would be aware of the relationship between the new and existing dwellings.

Design and scale

30. The design would echo the design of Manor Cottage but would not replicate the very steeply pitched roof. It would be built on a plinth which gives some additional interest to the design and would include a dormer window in a catslide roof on the front elevation. The flank wall facing Clare Cottage is rather bland but would include a chimney and a first floor landing window which are features which would improve its appearance. The height of the ridge would be 6.5m, which is low for a two storey house and this would 4.9 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

restrict the bulk and massing of the dwelling. Materials will be subject to a planning condition in order to ensure that these are of an appropriate quality for the setting of this site within the Conservation Area.

Development plan and Village Design Statement compliance

31. Development plan policies relating to Conservation of the historic environment have been discussed above under the heading of ‘Conservation Area’. The proposal is considered to be in compliance with these policies. Policy TRS1 of the Tenterden and Rural Sites plan permits infilling and minor development in named villages, which include Boughton Lees. Several residents have objected on the grounds that they do not consider the erection of a 3 bedroom house to be minor development. However, for the purposes of Policy TRS1 ‘minor development’ refers to the number of dwellings and not to the size of the dwelling.

32. The Boughton Aluph and Eastwell Parish Design Statement introduction states that nothing that happens in the future should threaten the sympathetic co-existence that now pertains between older buildings, more modern developments and the surrounding countryside. Any future planning decisions must protect and enhance that harmony. It requires that new development or lateral extensions to existing buildings should maintain characteristic gaps that provide views out of the built area. However, in the case of Manor Cottage the gap proposed for the erection of the new house does not currently provide any views out of the built area because of the presence of the large detached garage and trees within the rear garden.

33. The purpose of the Design Statement is explained as being to preserve the best in terms of its buildings, spaces and landscape and to ensure that change recognises the sensitivity of the location and does not harm the character and appearance of the area. The proposed house is not considered to be harmful to the character of the area in view of the nature of the conservation area on this side of the Lees. This side of the Lees comprises a mix of properties of varied styles and ages is not characterised by any particular layout or design.

34. The Design Statement makes reference to the fact that most future development is likely to be limited to alteration of small scale infilling. This is in line with Policy TRS1 which allows infilling in Boughton Lees. Although the Design Statement refers to the distinctive spaces between buildings and their orientation towards the Lees, it would be difficult to describe the existing gap occupied by a large detached garage as a distinctive space. The proposed new dwelling would be orientated towards the Lees as are the other neighbouring buildings.

4.10 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

35. Preferred materials for drives and hardstanding referred to in the Design Statement are brick or block paving. This is the material shown for the drive into the new house.

Trees and hedges

36. Harm to trees is also a concern raised by residents and the retention of trees is mentioned in the Parish Design Statement.

37. The trees which are on the boundary with Clare Cottage and can readily be seen from the Lees are in front of where the proposed dwelling would be built and only one of these is within the garden of Manor Cottage. Further rearwards alongside the flank wall of the proposed dwelling there are small trees and shrubs forming an informal hedge in front of the ground floor side window at Clare Cottage. These are all growing within the garden of Clare Cottage. There are two small evergreen trees on the south western side of the plot but there is a good separation between these and the proposed turning and parking area at the side of the house. The agent has been asked to provide a plan with these trees accurately located. The front boundary of Manor Cottage has an attractive, well kept beech hedge. This has been breached to provide the new access but a hedge such as this within the Conservation Area is not protected in the same way as larger trees. Human Rights Issues

38. I have also taken into account the human rights issues relevant to this application. In my view the “Assessment” section above and the Recommendation below represent an appropriate balance between the interests and rights of the applicant (to enjoy his land subject only to reasonable and proportionate controls by a public authority) and the interests and rights of those potentially affected by the proposal (to respect for private life and the home and peaceful enjoyment of their properties). Conclusion

39. There is considerable local objection to this scheme as evidenced in this report. At the time of writing the report the views of the Parish Council were not known but any received will be reported to the Planning Committee. The local concerns have been carefully considered in analysing the impact and harm that this development might cause. Had the site not already contained a sizeable building and had there been open views from The Lees to the countryside beyond then the analysis in this report would have been different.

40. Similarly the highway safety concerns relate to a degree to an additional access that does not require planning permission, and to extra traffic movements. I accept that the junction adjacent has a poor accident record 4.11 Ashford Borough Council - Report of Development Control Managers Planning Committee 14 December 2011 ______

but the extra vehicles generated by this proposal are unlikely to significantly worsen that record as they will be so small in number. Summary

41. The main issues in this case are:-

(a) The concern of residents over the issue of road safety and the fear that the proposal would increase the likelihood of accidents occurring.

(b) The impact of the proposed development upon the Conservation Area and its compliance with the Village Design Statement and Development Plan policies.

(c) The affect of the development upon Clare Cottage

42. Kent Highways Services is satisfied that there are no highway grounds for refusing this development provided appropriate conditions are attached.

43. The proposed house could make a positive contribution to the Conservation Area and its design could be of an acceptable scale, height, massing, alignment and materials. The principle impact upon the adjoining house would be to an upper floor side window but the room affected is also served by a window on the front of the house. Recommendation

(A) That for the following reasons the Planning Committee Permit this application:

1. The development does not result in significant harm to highway safety

2. The development makes adequate provision for the parking of vehicles within the application site.

3. Any potentially significant impacts relating to use of materials and an overlooking window can be satisfactorily mitigated by conditions.

4. The development would preserve the special character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

(B) Permit
