I hold an Honours Degree in Geography and a Master’s Degree in Transport Planning. I am a Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute and a Member of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation. I have over 22 years’ experience in the field of transport planning. The evidence which I have prepared and provide for this appeal reference APP/W1850/W/20/3244410 in this proof of evidence is true and I confirm that the opinions expressed are my true and professional opinions. 1.2 Background Information 1.2.1 As noted in the Statement of Common Ground with Herefordshire Council (HC) on Highways and Transport Matters (SoCGHT) [CD 4.2], the planning application to which this appeal relates was originally supported by technical transport and highways information prepared by another firm; BWB Consulting (BWB). Unfortunately, BWB and HC as Local Highway Authority (LHA) were unable to reach agreement on transport and highways matters and the LHA recommended refusal of the application. PJA was therefore instructed by Bloor Homes Western to review all the previous technical information, prepare revised proposals where necessary and resume negotiations with HC. 1.2.2 Following the submission of additional information and a period of additional negotiations, the LHA subsequently offered no objection to the planning application on highways grounds, as noted in the LHA’s consultation response on the application dated 10 May 2019 [CD 9.64] (p. 6, paragraph 2). 1.2.3 Despite receiving support from the LHA, planning permission was refused based on the reasons given in the Decision Notice [CD 13.1], which broadly relate to the following: • Reason for Refusal 1 - Unsatisfactory vehicular access arrangements; • Reason for Refusal 2 - Impact on the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) arising from additional traffic generation; and • Reason for Refusal 3 - Impact on the Ledbury Town Centre Conservation Area (CA) arising from additional traffic generation. Bloor Homes Western 1 Proof of Evidence of Nigel Millington APPEAL REF: APP/W1850/W/20/3244410 Introduction 1.2.4 In addition to the reasons for refusal, ‘Informative 1’ referred to in the decision notice provides context for the planning authority’s stated reasons for refusing the application: ‘All of the above reasons for refusal are easily capable of being overcome by the applicant providing a second vehicular means of access off the Leadon Way (A417)/Hereford Road (A438) roundabout.’ [CD 13.1, p. 3, Informative 1] 1.2.5 This reference is helpful as it clarifies the LPA’s position on the proposed development, in that the provision of a second point of access would, in their mind, resolve all the concerns stated in the decision notice. It is therefore necessary as part of my evidence to identify those matters which might be resolved either in part or in whole by the provision of a second point of access, and those matters which would be common to both access scenarios and would therefore not be resolved by the addition of a second access. 1.2.6 Given the LPA’s stated preference for a second vehicular means of access, it is important to note the policy requirements in so far as access to this site is concerned. Policy LB2 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy 2011-2031 provides that policy context and notes the requirement for: ‘provision of satisfactory vehicular access arrangements, the details of which will be determined at the planning application stage’ [CD 1.3, Policy LB2] 1.2.7 There is therefore no explicit policy requirement for an access off the Leadon Way / Hereford Road roundabout, either as a primary or secondary access, and as noted in the Appellant’s Statement of Case [CD 5.1], the LPA’s Statement of Case [CD 5.2] and the SoCGHT [CD 4.2], the proposed vehicular access arrangements are considered to be satisfactory by all parties. 1.2.8 I have provided further information on the policy requirements relating to access and the transport assessment process in Section 2 of my proof. I have also included a plan of local road names referred to throughout my proof, in Appendix A. 1.3 Statement of Matters 1.3.1 The SoCGHT [CD 4.2] shows that there are no matters of disagreement between the LHA and the Appellant on highways and transport matters (para 2.1.4). Furthermore, that same document also confirms that there are no matters of disagreement between the LHA and the Appellant in respect of the Ledbury Town Council (LTC) objection (para 3.1.5). Whilst the LPA withdrew the Reasons for Refusal, LTC was subsequently granted Rule 6 status and has therefore submitted a Statement of Case (SoC) [CD 5.4], which must be addressed in my proof.

    Our ref: APP/W1850/W/20/3244410 Guy Wakefield Ridge and Partners LLP 15 March 2021 Dear Sir TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 – SECTION 78 APPEAL MADE BY BLOOR HOMES WESTERN LAND NORTH OF VIADUCT, ADJACENT TO ORCHARD BUSINESS PARK, LEDBURY APPLICATION REF: 171532 1. I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA Hons BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry starting on 13 July 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Herefordshire Council to refuse your client’s application for outline planning permission for a mixed use development including the erection of up to 625 new homes (including affordable housing), up to 2.9 hectares of B1 employment land, a canal corridor, public open space (including a linear park), access, drainage and ground modelling works and other associated works, in accordance with LPA reference 171532, dated 22 June 2018. The proposal is for outline planning permission with all matters reserved for future consideration with the exception of access. Only the means of access into the site is sought as part of this outline application, not the internal site access arrangements (i.e. they do not formally form part of the application). Vehicular access is proposed off the Bromyard Road. 2. On 26 March 2020, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

This information has been expanded upon by relevant specialists. This booklet is the result of a community project and it is to those members of the local community that the first thanks must go. It is due to their dedication during a particularly wet and windy month that the survey work was completed. In particular thanks must go to Janet Cooper who assisted with co-ordinating the volunteer involvement. The project was only possible through the support of the staff of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership and the funding provided by their Sustainable Development Fund. The project brought together organisations, societies and individuals from varied areas of interests covering archaeology, history, ecology, geology and forestry.

About Ledbury Population Ledbury is a market town with a population of 9,636 (2011 Census) and a centre for some 20 parishes in Herefordshire, as well as several villages in neighbouring Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, making a catchment population using its services and facilities of over 20,000. Historical Interest Since its origins as an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Ledbury has been at the crossroads of trade routes between the Midlands and Mid and South Wales. Recognised as the gateway to Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches, it is a convenient stopover offering friendly hospitality and service. The Town Centre, originally formed in the 12th Century, has developed around a core of 15th to 17th Century buildings, from the proceeds of the wool trade and to this day retains its medieval street pattern. These maps demonstrate the growth of Ledbury from a very small town reliant on agriculture in the early 20th century, to a small but prosperous town of traders. Key buildings include the Market House and Ledbury Park (both listed Grade 1 buildings by Historic England), the recently restored Master’s House (Grade 2* listed), St Katherine’s Hall and Almshouses, the Old Grammar School Heritage Centre (Grade 2* listed), St Michael and All Angels Parish Church (Grade 1 listed) plus the Feathers and the Talbot Hotels (both Grade 2* listed).

  • Rail & Bus for Herefordshire Spring 2021 Newsletter
    Rail & Bus for Herefordshire Spring 2021 Newsletter © Rail & Bus for Herefordshire March 2021 1 Editor’s Piece Hopefully the strange times of the past year will soon diminish. But until then I thought we would have a little competition of ‘Guess the Signal Box’. No prizes but just a little something in case it has slipped your mind that there are railways out there. So, where is the signal box on the cover? Answers to [email protected] Covid 19 and the associated lockdown restriction have certainly drawn the country up short. Undoubtedly some of the biggest impact has fallen on our public transport and hospitality sectors. As a result, it is unlikely that both these industries will return to the normality we knew before the pandemic. How many public houses and restaurants will reopen is anyone’s guess at the moment. But in the public transport industry, which has been kept going by massive injections of public money, the main challenge is going to be getting people back onto buses and trains. But what happens when government financial support ceases or is scaled down? It all points to the possibilities for a radical shake up of how our public transport is provided and importantly who pays for it. For too long buses and trains have been provided in a disintegrated fashion, both being financed by a chaotic mixture of private and public money. That there should be a coordinated approach and a sustainable long term financial package for the industry is now becoming paramount. In a recent very lucid article Laura Shoaf, MD for Transport for West Midlands emphasised the fact that the future of the bus - and a fairer, more socially equitable economic recovery to which it can contribute - is deeply uncertain.

    Rail & Bus for Herefordshire Summer 2021 Newsletter © Rail & Bus for Herefordshire: June 2021 1 Where is the Signal Box? The image on the cover of the Spring Newsletter proved far too easy with many of you guessing it correctly as Pontrilas. So the image for this edition has gone to the opposite extreme of making it difficult. One clue; it is just across the border. Subscriptions If you have not paid for 2021-22 then please send a cheque for £8.00 to our Treasurer, Peter Gwatkin at 60 Broomy hill, Hereford, HR4 0LQ. We can only keep Rail & Bus for Herefordshire and the newsletter going with your help Annual General Meeting In 2020 we were fortunate to hold our AGM on 10 March, only about a week before Covid measures were introduced. Restrictions on public meetings have remained in place ever since and we were unable to hold 2021’s AGM during March or April as usual. We were hoping to hold it in late July, but further postponement of the lifting of restrictions has meant that we cannot yet set a date or book a venue with any confidence. In the expectation that all Covid restrictions will be lifted within four weeks, we sincerely hope that the next newsletter can carry an announcement that the 2021 AGM will be held in October.
