Development Management Report Committee and Date Item/Paper North Planning Committee (Oswestry) 9 29th March 2011 Public Development Management Report Application Number: 11/00213/OUT Parish: Oswestry Rural Grid 325922 - 325407 Ref: Proposal: Outline application for the erection of a detached dwelling to include means of access and layout Site Address: Land Adjacent To The Lazy Acre Treflach Oswestry Shropshire SY10 9HF Applicant: Mr And Mrs HT And R M Powell Case Officer: Robert Bennett email: [email protected] 1.0 THE PROPOSAL 1.1 This is an outline application for a single dwelling, a new access and a garage or two parking spaces at Lazy Acre, Treflach. No details of the appearance of the dwelling or garage are provided although the Design and Access Statement and the layout plan describe a three bed dormer bungalow. It would be 12m wide and 8m deep. The garage would be roughly 6m square. Drainage would be to the main sewer and the access would be directly onto the Trefonen Road some 12m south of the northern boundary of the site. 2.0 SITE LOCATION/DESCRIPTION 2.1 The application site is formed from the northern half of the side garden of Lazy Acre. It is roughly triangular in shape, measuring 17m at its deepest (southern) end and 7m at its narrowest (northern) end. It is 37m long. It is at the heart of the village and has residential properties all around. Offa’s Dyke, a scheduled ancient monument, runs the length of the rear boundary which is marked by a new 2m high timber fence and there are open fields behind. 3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 That planning permission be refused 4.0 REASON FOR COMMITTEE DECISION Contact: Edwina Smart on 01691 677264 North Planning Committee (Oswestry): 29th March 2011 4.1 The Local Member has asked for the application to be determined by the Planning Committee. 5.0 RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 5.1 05/13808 – Demolition of garage and erection of two storey extension. 09/Outline application for dwelling – withdrawn. 10/02710 – Outline application for detached dwelling – refused on the grounds that a dwelling would have an adverse impact on the setting and character of Offa’s Dyke. 6.0 CONSULTEE RESPONSES 6.1 Parish Council – The Parish Council would like to be informed of the date and time of any site meeting that takes place. Asks that the proximity and possible damage to Offa’s Dyke is assessed. Drainage – Details of surface water disposal arrangements, including recycling, must be conditioned. Highways – No objection subject to improvements to the access. Recommends conditions. SFRS – Adequate access must be provided for emergency vehicles. Offers advice on sprinkler systems. Public Protection – The site is within 60m of an infilled quarry and there is a possibility of ground gas contamination. Recommends conditions requiring investigation of contamination and a treatment strategy. English Heritage – Recommends that planning permission be refused. The application fails to appreciate the importance of Offa’s Dyke, an internationally significant archaeological monument and landscape feature. The development will have an impact on the setting and archaeology of the Dyke. 7.0 PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS 7.1 One resident has indicated that he would prefer a “single storey” bungalow to be built or the sketch proposals to be altered so that the bedroom facing Oakside faces the rear. Seeks protection of the dyke and hedge on the land. 8.0 PLANNING POLICY 8.1 Central Government Guidance: PPS 5 – Planning for the Historic Environment 8.2 West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Policies: 8.3 Oswestry Borough Local Plan / Shropshire Core Strategy: Policy HE 13 – Archaeological Remains of National Importance Policy HE 14 – Archaeological Sites of Regional or Local Importance CS 1 – Strategic approach CS 4 – Community hubs and clusters Contact: Edwina Smart on 01691 677264 North Planning Committee (Oswestry): 29th March 2011 CS 6 – Sustainable design and development principles CS 11 – Type and affordability of housing 9.0 THE MAIN ISSUES The principle of development. Design, scale and character of the proposed dwelling The impact on the setting and archaeology of Offa’s Dyke Impact on the neighbouring properties Highway safety 10.0 OFFICER APPRAISAL 10.1 Principle of Development 10.1.1 The application site is within the settlement boundary for Treflach and residential development is acceptable in principle. 10.2 Design, Scale and Character 10.2.1 The actual design, scale and character of the proposed dwelling are reserved for approval at detailed stage. However this is a small restricted site due to its triangular nature and there is only one example close by of a similarly small site. 10.3 Impact on the setting and archaeology of Offa’s Dyke Scheduled Ancient Monument 10.3.1 Outline planning permission for a dwelling on this land was refused last year on the recommendation of English Heritage because it was considered the development would have an adverse impact on the setting and character of Offa’s Dyke. The current application seeks to address those concerns and the agent argues strongly that the views promulgated by English Heritage (and the Council) are inconsistent and do not amount to a cogent and defensible objection to the development. The agent’s view is that the value of the Dyke as a historic and landscape feature varies considerably over its length and that in this area it is negligible with adjacent sections obliterated by a car park, highway and residential development. It is not a landscape feature and its archaeological and historic significance are not readily apparent to the public. In fact it is obscured by undergrowth which has grown to form a substantial hedgerow along the entire rear site boundary. Given that the Dyke cannot be interpreted because of its modest scale and the undergrowth he asks what interests will be prejudiced if it is partially obscured by a new dwelling. He also points out that few people walk past the site anyway (Offa’s Dyke long distance footpath is half a mile away) and that in reality the development proposed will open up views of the Dyke as the access is improved/created. To illustrate the limited public benefit accruing from the Dyke here he points out that the “open character” cannot be permanently preserved anyway because neither the Council nor English Heritage control the land in front of it. To illustrate this point a 2m fence has already been erected that completely obscures views of the Dyke along the rear of the plot. If permission is granted this fence could be removed by agreement and he suggests that future occupiers would possibly be happy to allow interested parties to view the Dyke from the garden. Contact: Edwina Smart on 01691 677264 North Planning Committee (Oswestry): 29th March 2011 10.3.2 Addressing the concerns about damage to the archaeology surrounding the Dyke the Agent points out that the development proposed will not affect the superstructure of the Dyke but will in fact provide an opportunity to undertake below ground investigations when the foundations are laid in the same way that they were undertaken when the house next door was built. That development has been completed and he suggests there is little evidence of the attendant earthworks that English Heritage identify in their consultation response. He says it is similar to the application site where the Dyke cannot in any respect be regarded as an example of good heritage management. He therefore asks that planning permission be granted. (The agent’s comments are available to view in full on the file). In response English Heritage have stated that the agent’s comments indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of the approach to archaeology and a failure to appreciate the value and nature of an internationally significant archaeological monument and landscape feature. 10.3.3 They point out that Offa’s Dyke is the largest, most impressive and most complete purpose built medieval monument in Western Europe. It is the largest civil engineering project ever undertaken by an Anglo Saxon state and the most impressive Anglo Saxon monument to now survive in the United Kingdom. It was built to define the cultural and political border between the Anglian King Offa’s Midland centered kingdom of Mercia and the native British peoples in what is now Wales. Its character today is derived from its survival as a linear monument, readily discernable within the rural landscape of the Welsh borders. 10.3.4 Although understanding the agent’s disappointment at being prevented from developing a site within the settlement boundary English Heritage’s view is that buried archaeology relating to the Dyke is very likely to survive within the development area and that this must be borne in mind when considering the planning application. The fact that some of the above ground earthworks have previously been removed does not mean that the Dyke has been “obliterated” and is not worthy of continuing protection. Similarly the presence of the timber fence, although a temporary screen, does not mean that in overall long term management terms development as proposed, so close to the Dyke, is appropriate. It is still a clear earthwork when viewed from the east and when viewed from the west is still a visually significant feature. The applicant has not provided convincing evidence that would justify the development and notwithstanding the arguments put forward demeaning the Dyke in this area it is archaeologically significant and should be protected. 10.3.5 PPS5 at Policy HE9.2 advises that where an application will lead to substantial harm to a designated heritage asset such as a scheduled ancient monument, the application should be refused unless it can be demonstrated that: the substantial harm is necessary in order to deliver substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss: or the nature of the heritage asset prevents all reasonable uses of the site.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

    Dispersed plans by secondary attribute These are farmsteads where the farm buildings and farmhouse are loosely grouped together within the farmstead boundary but with no central yard area.

Many of these farmsteads are small steadings with a farmhouse and just one or two buildings set in an enclosure designed for holding stock. These types of farmsteads have a paddock- like feel, set in enclosed areas within which the house and any working buildings are sited and livestock are fenced in. Their plan form and location is intimately related to the movement of livestock and people to seasonal grazing grounds (transhumance). Their distribution is fairly sparse across Shropshire, though it is possibly to see a greater concentration in the north east of the county in the lowland heath areas and in small pockets on the uplands of the Shropshire and Clun Hills. They are generally associated with other small farmstead types (LC1, LC2, LINs) as well as smallholdings, and are mainly associated with stock rearing areas.

Oswestry Uplands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Oswestry Rural Parish Council
    Oswestry Rural Parish Council Minutes of the Meeting of the Parish Council held on Tuesday 30 June 2015, in Rhydycroesau Village Hall starting at 7pm Present: Councillors: M Lee (Chair), J Barlow, P Broomby, S Chalk, W Cheetham, P Davies, S Jones, A Milner, P Milner and R Milton. Clerk: Val Smout In attendance: Carole Warner Members of the Public: 12 01/15 Apologies for absence: Cllrs P May and J Middleton (accepted) and Shropshire Councillor Joyce Barrow. The Chair took the opportunity to thank the Clerk for her dedication and service to the Parish Council. Cllrs W Cheetham and P Milner presented the Clerk gifts in appreciation of her commitment. All wished the Clerk a long and happy retirement. 02/15 Public Participation Period: A representative from Trefonen Rural Protection Group spoke in connection with the planning application at East of Three Trees. The Group’s objections to the application centred on scale, loss of the wall and the required excavation. It was calculated the 600 tonne of material, mostly rock, would be excavated. Transport of the material could only be made by a small wagon. A large lorry had recently caused damage to the village reinforced this fact. Should the application be recommended for approval by a Planning Officer, he requested Shropshire Councillor Joyce Barrow call the application in for determination by the Planning Committee. The representative also spoke in connection with the application at Fron Ucha and recommended a traffic management plan be a condition due to the location of the property. A resident spoke in connection with the application at North of Blakemere.
