Latham, James From: ANDREW CULLEY Sent: 29 June 2018 20:18 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Subject: Bishopstone Group NDP Submission Dear Sirs, Whilst agreeing with the majority of the document I fear there is some confusion in the detail given on page 17. The second paragraph refers to applications put forward after discussion with the planning officers for developments on the farmhouse land and also on a site adjoining Pleck Cottage. From the outline plans I have seen the land "adjoining Pleck Cottage" is within the field containing the word Bishopstone on the revised settlement boundary shown on page 17. This second site is outside of the proposed settlement boundary. The third paragraph on page 17 shows support for development on the Bishon orchard site (Bishon Farmhouse) and active opposition to "development on the Pleck site". However, the Pleck Cottage is included in the revised settlement boundary and therefore seems at odds with the opposition and is the cause for confusion. This is different to the land adjoining Pleck Cottage but the reasoning given for the objection applies to the land adjoining Pleck Cottage. I have photographs of the standing water showing the problems encountered on this site which make it unsuitable for building. If the Pleck Cottage site is to be within the revised settlement boundary then the wording of the third paragraph needs amending to show that the objections and problems relate to the land adjacent to the Pleck. If the problems also apply to the Pleck Cottage site then it should not be within the revised boundary. Another query I have is what standing will this document have when finalised? Within the last year, I understand planning permission was given for a domestic dwelling further to the east of the above sites, behind existing houses. This was approved despite being outside of both the current and proposed settlement boundaries and an objection (on that basis) from the Parish Council. This does not fill me with confidence that the policies in this document will be adhered to in future planning decisions. I would appreciate a response to this query. Yours faithfully, Andrew and Anne Culley 1 Latham, James From: allan johnson Sent: 27 June 2018 11:36 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Cc: Sue Hubbard; John Macklin Subject: Bishopstone Group Neighbourhood Development Plan - Submission Draft May 2018 This is to inform you that we have read the Draft Plan and fully endorse its contents.

It is my understanding that you do not require comment on Core Strategy proposals as part of this consultation or comment on sites which are awaiting or have already been granted planning approval. Having reviewed records readily available, I would advise the following: The proposed housing development site referred to as ‘Bishon Farm’ identified in policy ‘H1: Housing in Bishopstone’, indicated in brown on the ‘Bishopstone Village Policies Map’ appears from a review of Ordnance survey historical plans to have all been historically used as orchards. By way of general advice I would mention that orchards can be subject to agricultural spraying practices which may, in some circumstances, lead to a legacy of contamination and any development should consider this. Because the proposed housing development site is on land that has historically been used in association with farming I would also mention the following: Some farm buildings may be used for the storage of potentially contaminative substances (oils, herbicides, pesticides) or for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and machinery. As such it is possible that unforeseen contamination may be present on the site. Consideration should be given to the possibility of encountering contamination on the site as a result of its former uses and specialist advice be sought should any be encountered during the development. Also regarding sites with a historic agricultural use, I would mention that agricultural practices such as uncontrolled burial of wastes or excessive pesticide or herbicide application may be thought of as potentially contaminative and any development should consider this. Please note I have not commented on polices ‘H2: Housing in Byford’ and ‘H3: Housing in Bridge Sollars, Kenchester and Mansell Gamage’ and ‘G1 Housing development sites and design’ as no specific sites were identified in the plan. General comments: Developments such as hospitals, homes and schools may be considered ‘sensitive’ and as such consideration should be given to risk from contamination notwithstanding any comments. Please note that the above does not constitute a detailed investigation or desk study to consider risk from contamination. Should any information about the former uses of the proposed development areas be available I would recommend they be submitted for consideration as they may change the comments provided. It should be recognised that contamination is a material planning consideration and is referred to within the NPPF. I wold recommend applicants and those involved in the parish plan refer to the pertinent parts of the NPPF and be familiar with the requirements and meanings given when considering risk from contamination during development. 1 Finally it is also worth bearing in mind that the NPPF makes clear that the developer and/or landowner is responsible for securing safe development where a site is affected by contamination. These comments are provided on the basis that any other developments would be subject to application through the normal planning process.
