Crown Copyright 100023706 2017 Item No: 7.1 Application: 201236 Applicant: Ms S Harrison Agent: Mr Roger Hayward, Fenn Wright Proposal: Outline application for the erection of up to 49 houses and associated highway works. Location: Hall Road, Copford, Colchester Ward: Marks Tey & Layer Officer: James Ryan Recommendation: Approval 1.0 Reason for Referral to the Planning Committee 1.1 This application is referred to the Planning Committee because the application is a departure from the adopted local plan and it is a major application where a legal agreement will be required. 2.0 Synopsis 2.1 The key issues for consideration is the principle of the development on a site that is outside of the defined development boundary in the adopted Local Plan but allocated for development in the in the Emerging Local Plan. The highway implications of the scheme are also key as access is a matter for consideration now. 2.2 The application is subsequently recommended for approval subject to conditions. 3.0 Site Description and Context 3.1 The site, approximately 2ha, is situated to the east of the village of Copford and comprises agricultural land currently under arable production. The area, which is irregular in shape but broadly square, sits behind existing dwellings which front onto the London Road and lies to the west of Hall Road. A public right of way runs along the western boundary. 3.2 The site is bounded by existing dwellings to the north, north east and north west, whilst the southern aspect is open to adjoining arable land. 4.0 Description of the Proposal 4.1 Outline planning approval is sought for the erection of up to 49 houses and associated highway works. All matters apart from access are reserved for future consideration, those being Layout, Landscaping, Appearance and Scale. 5.0 Land Use Allocation 5.1 Agricultural Land 6.0 Relevant Planning History 6.1 None DC0901MWeV9.3 7.0 Principal Policies 7.1 Planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) must be taken into account in planning decisions and is a material consideration, setting out national planning policy. Colchester’s Development Plan is in accordance with these national policies and is made up of several documents as follows below. 7.2 The adopted Colchester Borough Core Strategy (adopted 2008, reviewed 2014) contains local strategic policies. Particular to this application, the following policies are most relevant: SD1 - Sustainable Development Locations SD2 - Delivering Facilities and Infrastructure H1 - Housing Delivery H2 - Housing Density H3 - Housing Diversity H4 - Affordable Housing UR2 - Built Design and Character PR1 - Open Space PR2 - People-friendly Streets TA1 - Accessibility and Changing Travel Behaviour TA2 - Walking and Cycling TA3 - Public Transport TA4 - Roads and Traffic TA5 - Parking ENV1 - Environment ENV2 - Rural Communities ER1 - Energy, Resources, Waste, Water and Recycling 7.3 The adopted Colchester Borough Development Policies (adopted 2010, reviewed 2014) sets out policies that apply to new development. Specific to this application are policies: DP1 Design and Amenity DP2 Health Assessments DP3 Planning Obligations and the Community Infrastructure Levy DP4 Community Facilities DP12 Dwelling Standards DP14 Historic Environment Assets DP16 Private Amenity Space and Open Space Provision for New Residential Development DP17 Accessibility and Access DP18 Transport Infrastructure Proposals DP19 Parking Standards DP20 Flood Risk and Management of Surface Water Drainage DP21 Nature Conservation and Protected Lanes DP25 Renewable Energy DC0901MWeV9.3 7.4 Some “allocated sites” also have specific policies applicable to them. The adopted Site Allocations (adopted 2010) policies should be taken into account in the decision making process. This site is not allocated in the adopted local plan. 7.5 The area does not have a Neighbourhood Plan. 7.6 Submission Colchester Borough Local Plan 2017-2033: The Council is developing a new Local Plan that has been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for examination (October 2017). In particular emerging policy SS4 is relevant and this will discussed in the main body of the report. An Inspector has been appointed and the formal examination commenced in January 2018. The examination is ongoing. Paragraph 48 of the Framework states that decision makers may give weight to relevant policies in emerging plans according to: 1. The stage of preparation of the emerging plan; 2 The extent to which there are unresolved objections to relevant policies in the emerging plan; and 3 The degree of consistency of relevant policies to the policies in the Framework. The Emerging Local Plan is at an advanced stage and is, therefore, considered to carry some weight in the consideration of the application, but as it is yet to undergo a full and final examination, it is not considered to outweigh the material considerations assessed above in accordance with up-to-date planning policies and the NPPF. 7.7 Regard should also be given to the following adopted Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD): The Essex Design Guide External Materials in New Developments EPOA Vehicle Parking Standards Affordable Housing Community Facilities Open Space, Sport and Recreation Sustainable Construction Cycling Delivery Strategy Sustainable Drainage Systems Design Guide Street Services Delivery Strategy Planning for Broadband 2016 Managing Archaeology in Development. Developing a Landscape for the Future ECC’s Development & Public Rights of Way Planning Out Crime Air Quality Management Guidance Note, Areas & Order DC0901MWeV9.3 8.0 Consultations 8.1 The stakeholders who have been consulted and who have given consultation responses are as set out below. More information may be set out on our website. 8.2 Anglian Water No objection raised, informatives requested. 8.3 Archaeology A trial-trenched evaluation was undertaken of this proposed development site in 2016 by Archaeology South-East (HER Event no. ECC3878; ASE Report 2016371) and this followed a geophysical survey (HER Event no. ECC3882). Below-ground archaeological remains dating to the Iron Age period were defined by this work. Groundworks relating to any development have the potential to disturb and damage any archaeological remains. There are no grounds to consider refusal of permission in order to achieve preservation in situ of any important heritage assets. However, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 199), any permission granted should be the subject of a planning condition to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage asset before it is damaged or destroyed. 8.4 Cadent Gas No objection. 8.5 Contaminated Land It has been concluded that the site could be redeveloped for the proposed residential use, with the requirement for gas mitigation measures still to be subject to further investigation/monitoring. Based on all the information provided to date, this conclusion would appear reasonable. It would appear that this site could be made suitable for the proposed residential use, with the recommended ground gas risk assessment and any necessary mitigation measures addressed by way of planning condition(s). 8.6 Environmental Protection No objection, conditions requested. 8.7 Environment Agency No comment received. DC0901MWeV9.3 8.8 Essex Police The published documents have been studied and, unfortunately, do not provide sufficient detail to allow an informed decision. Essex Police would recommend the applicant incorporate Crime Prevention through Environmental Design and apply for nationally acknowledge and police recommended Secure By Design accreditation. (Officer note: This can be secured through the reserved matters applications) 8.9 Historic Buildings and Areas No objection to the scheme but noted that scheme will cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade ii Listed Brewers Cottage and at reserved matters stage this needs to be taken into consideration. The indicative layout is not acceptable in this respect. (Officer note: The layout is a reserved matter and mitigation can be secured through the detailed layout) 8.10 Landscape Advisor No objection in principle but design changes are needed at reserved matters stage. 8.11 LLFA Having reviewed the Flood Risk Assessment and the associated documents which accompanied the planning application, we do not object to the granting of planning permission subject to conditions. 8.12 Natural England No objection subject to securing RAMS contribution if required by the LPA’s Appropriate Assessment. 8.13 North Essex Badger Group I have read through the Ecological Assessment and would point out that there are several badger locations

These are settlements based on the ethos of ‘Garden Cities’ promoted by the Town and Country Planning Association (https://www.tcpa.org.uk/garden-city-principles) and Government but tailored to the needs and character of North Essex. AECOM has undertaken a detailed baseline review and multi-criteria analysis of various options, identifying three broad locations at West of Braintree, Marks Tey and East of Colchester in Tendring District for further master planning (https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200130/about_braintree_district/992/north_essex_garden_communities). These locations are considered to be the most sustainable option for the future development of Garden Communities in North Essex and provide a major opportunity for high quality, cohesive and distinctive mixed use development.

Hon. Patrick Jenkin MP Secretary of State for the Environment 1. In a letter dated 15 February 1982, Braintree District Council requested us to propose changes in two places to the boundary of their district with the Borough of Colchester and the Borough of Chalmsford. The request arose out of Braintree District Council's parish review. One of the changes recommended to us arose from a suggestion by Peering Parish Council and involved the transfer of four houses and a farm from the parishes of Marks Tey and Copford in the Borough of Colchester to the parish of Peering in the District of Braintree. The other recommended change arose originally as a suggestion by Hatfield Peverel Parish Council and would result in the transfer of one property in Damases Lane in Hatfield Feverel in the District of Braintree to the parish of Boreham in the Borough of Chelmsford. 2. Colchester Borough Council and the parishes of Marks Tey and Copford had no objections to the suggested Marks Tey and Copford/Feering change. Chelmsford Borough Council and Boreham Parish Council had no objections to the suggested Hatfield Peverel/ Boreham change, Essex County Council had no objections to either of the suggested boundary changes. 3.
