Development Management Committee 19 October 2020 DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE 19 OCTOBER 2020 Case No: 20/00650/FUL Proposal: FORMATION OF A DRAINAGE POND FOR THE ATTENUATION OF SURFACE WATER RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AT FORMER RAF UPWOOD AND UPWOOD HILL HOUSE Location: LAND SOUTH OF UPWOOD HILL HOUSE AND FORMER RAF UPWOOD, RAMSEY ROAD, BURY Applicant: EVERA HOMES LLP C/O SAVILLS (UK) LTD (MRS LYNETTE SWINBURNE) Grid Ref: E: 527481 N: 283200 Date of Registration: 02.04.2020 Parish: WISTOW RECOMMENDATION - APPROVE This application is referred to the Development Management Committee (DMC) as the proposed development represents a departure from the Development Plan. 1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND APPLICATION 1.1 This application relates to a parcel of agricultural land located to the south of Ramsey Road, on the southwest periphery of the village of Bury. The southern boundary of the former RAF Upwood site is located approx. 43m to the north of the main body of the application site. 1.2 The application site is located in the countryside and comprises approx. 8.7ha of Grade 2 Agricultural Land which slopes down from north to south. The application site lies within Flood zone 1 of the LPA’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment maps. 1.3 The application seeks planning permission for the formation of a drainage pond for the attenuation of surface water relating to development at Former RAF Upwood and Upwood Hill House. The proposed drainage pond measures approx. 221m in length and approx. 67m in width at its largest point. 1.4 Incorporating a maximum depth of approx. 2.45m, the proposed attenuation pond will hold approx. 21,462m3 of water. Noting the variance in topography across the site and with reference to the Reservoir Act 1975, approx. 3813m3 of water will be held above the natural level of the surrounding land (which falls away to the south). 1.5 There is no built form immediately adjacent to the main body of the application site aside from Ramsey Road. Whilst the nearest residential unit (25 Canberra Road) is located approx. 26m from the northwest corner of the application site, it is noted that the drainage pond would be located approx. 127m to the southeast of this property. 2. NATIONAL GUIDANCE 2.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (19th February 2019) (NPPF 2019) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and identifies three overarching objectives (economic, social and environmental) to be pursued in mutually supportive ways in order to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 2.2 Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the NPPF 2019 identify a presumption in favour of sustainable development. Planning Practice Guidance is also relevant and a material consideration. For full details visit the government website National Guidance 3. PLANNING POLICIES 3.1 Huntingdonshire's Local Plan to 2036 (Adopted 15th May 2019) LP2: Strategy for Development LP3: Green Infrastructure LP5: Flood Risk LP10: The Countryside LP11: Design Context LP12: Design Implementation LP14: Amenity LP15: Surface Water LP30: Biodiversity and Geodiversity LP31: Trees, Woodland, Hedges and Hedgerows Allocation: RA8 – Former RAF Upwood and Upwood Hill House, Bury Emerging Policy: Bury Neighbourhood Plan (including the Examiner’s modifications) should be afforded significant weight as it has been examined and recommended to progress to referendum. Relevant policies: G1: Definition of ‘Built-Up Area’ (Settlement Boundary) G2: Comprehensive Development of Former Airfield ISF1: Sustainable Transport ISF2: Highway Impact ISF4: Infrastructure Provision Supplementary Planning Documents: Cambridgeshire Flood and Water Supplementary Planning Document 2017 Huntingdonshire Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2017 Huntingdonshire Landscape and Townscape Assessment 2007 For full details visit the planning pages of the LPA’s website 4. PLANNING HISTORY 4.1 1201274OUT: Selective demolition and clearance of existing (former defence) buildings, environmental remediation and the carrying out of employment-led mixed use development comprising about 2 hectares of employment (Use Class Order B1 uses) (including the conversion and change of use of some buildings) and residential (not more than 160 dwellings) development, together with the provision of infrastructure and the laying out of ancillary open space. (Phased Development) Approved 07.06.2017 4.2 20/00161/REM: Reserved Matters application for the approval of layout, scale, appearance and landscaping (including the discharge of condition 20) for the development of 160 new dwellings at RAF Upwood and Upwood Hill House, Ramsey Road, Bury. Approved 02.09.2020 4.3 20/00683/FUL: Erection of a bat barn with associated landscaping. Approved 16.07.2020 5. CONSULTATIONS 5.1 Bury Parish Council: Comments awaited – an update will be provided in the Late Reps document Cambridgeshire County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority: “Based on [the revised documents], as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) we can now remove our objection to the proposed development. Cambridgeshire County Council Highways: I note that the end attenuation pond will be managed and maintained by AWA which is acceptable in relation to the highway drainage of the site. I assume that the flood and water team will also be consulted. The C.E.M.P that has been submitted indicates wheel washes will be incorporated into the scheme which is acceptable. But there are various other details that should be submitted below: • Details of construction traffic associated with the scheme in both number and types of vehicles expected. • Details of the construction access (Geometry etc.) that will be used and the maintenance access that will be used (suitable for the largest vehicle that will use the site). • Locations of wheel wash stations • Onsite parking and turning details. • Routes for construction vehicle to the site. • Any signage that will be required. Officer comment: It must be noted that the Flood Risk Assessment (BWB Consulting: July 2013 – NTH051/FRA Rev E) which accompanied 1201274OUT indicated that the attenuation pond may be adopted by AW as part of the S104 process. At the time of writing, confirmation from Anglian Water on this point has not been received – an update will be provided in the Late Reps document. All of the “other details” outlined in CCC Highways comments are adequately covered in the revised CEMP (GEDA Construction: 01/07/20) with the exception of the numbers and types of vehicles expected. In this regard, the Agent for the application has confirmed that approx. 4200 vehicle movements will be required during the construction of the proposed attenuation pond but the exact specification of the vehicles involved in the excavation and removal of material are unknown at the time of writing. The revised CEMP outlines that deliveries to the site will seek to avoid the peak hours of 0830-0930 and 1700-1800, sufficient parking and manoeuvring areas will be accommodated within the site and the vehicles leaving the site will turn left onto Ramsey Road. With the imposition of a condition to ensure that the proposed development accords with the provisions of the revised CEMP, the proposed development is considered to be acceptable in this regard. Natural England: No objection raised Anglian Water – No comments received to date. Any update will be provided in the Late Reps document. No response received from: • Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeology • Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust • Environment Agency • Middle Level Commissioners 6. REPRESENTATIONS 6.1 None. 7. ASSESSMENT 7.1 The main issues for consideration are: • The principle of development • Biodiversity/Ecology • Design • The impact on amenity • Highways Background 7.2 The former RAF Upwood site is an allocation (RA8) within Huntingdonshire’s Local Plan to 2036 (HLP 2036) for mixed use development. Phase 1 comprises an Outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the former RAF Upwood site (approved under 1201274OUT) and the matters reserved from the outline planning permission (20/00161/REM) which were approved 02.09.2020. Plans for Phase 2 are yet to be submitted to the LPA. 7.3 The principle of an attenuation pond in this area was established through the 1201274OUT approval. Although in a similar position, the proposed attenuation pond is larger than that which was previously approved as the design has been engineered to attenuate flows from both Phase 1 and Phase 2; the original pond design was only to accommodate Phase 1 given the allocation of RA8 with a higher number of residential dwellings was not adopted at that time. In accordance with paragraph 165 of the NPPF, condition 25 of 1201274OUT requires full details of the sustainable drainage system to be approved prior to any development which will create surface water run-off. This condition remains to be discharged at the time of writing. The principle of development 7.4 Whilst connected to the drainage for the Former RAF Upwood allocation, the application site does not fall within the site boundary of the allocation and is therefore located in the countryside. Policy LP10 of HLP 2036 outlines that development in the countryside will be restricted to the limited and specific opportunities as provided for in the relevant policies of HLP 2036, noting that the purpose of LP10 is to ensure that development protects the resources and recognises the intrinsic character of the countryside. Policy G1 of the Bury Neighbourhood Plan (BNP) adopts a similarly restrictive position. As such, the conflict between the proposed development and polices LP10 of the HLP 2036 and G1 of the emerging Bury Neighbourhood Plan is recognised. 7.5 Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires applications for planning permission to be determined in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The remainder of this report will provide an assessment of the relevant material considerations. 7.6 The proposed attenuation pond has been designed to attenuate flows from both Phase 1 of the re-developed former RAF Upwood site (approved under 1201274/OUT and 20/00161/REM) and Phase 2 of the scheme which is yet to be submitted to the LPA but will comprise the remaining land within the boundaries of the RA8 allocation.

Lily, who is a member of the Sparks Club in Ramsey, decided to walk a marathon by completing a mile every day for 26 days. She could be seen meeting her own personal challenge pounding the streets of Upwood accompanied by her mum, Helen, and her trusty collection bucket.

At the same time as receiving this issue (No.108) you should also receive a copy of the April issue (No.107) which was printed prior to the lockdown but not delivered. Hopefully you will find information in both copies which is still of interest to you. It is reassuring to see how supportive our community has been during the pandemic. Not only has an effective Covidhelp group been set up in record time but many parishioners have also been involved in supporting friends and neighbours through informal arrangements for helping with shopping, collecting medication, dog walking and many other requests.

  • English Medieval Population: Reconciling Time Series and Cross Sectional Evidence
    ENGLISH MEDIEVAL POPULATION: RECONCILING TIME SERIES AND CROSS SECTIONAL EVIDENCE Stephen Broadberry, London School of Economics, [email protected] Bruce M. S. Campbell, The Queen’s University of Belfast, [email protected] Bas van Leeuwen, University of Warwick, [email protected] 11 October 2011 File: MedievalPopulation8 Abstract: A new time series for English medieval population is constructed from manor-level data using an index-number approach and a regional-weighting scheme. The absolute level of the medieval population is established with a benchmark for 1377, but using the need for consistency with other benchmarks for 1086, 1522 and 1541 as additional constraints. The amount of food required to support the peak medieval population is checked against a reconstruction of English agriculture at that time. Acknowledgements: This paper forms part of the project “Reconstructing the National Income of Britain and Holland, c.1270/1500 to 1850”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, Reference Number F/00215AR.We are grateful to Alexander Apostolides for valuable research assistance and to Larry Poos for making available his data on tithing-penny payments. 1 I. INTRODUCTION The pioneering work on English medieval population by Russell (1948) established benchmark levels of population for 1086 and 1377 and considered time-series evidence to link these to each other and to estimates for the early-modern period. Russell paid particular attention to the consistency of his estimates over this long sweep of history and arrived at the conclusion that the peak level of medieval population before the Black Death was around 3.7 million.

  • District Council Annual Report Upwood and the Raveleys Ward
    District Council Annual Report Upwood and the Raveleys Ward June 2017 Shortly after my appointment as Leader of HDC in May last year, the Devolution deal for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire began to develop and in June I became a member of the Combined Authority Shadow Cabinet with responsibility for finance and fiscal policy. This created unexpected demands on my time with the result that my engagement with my five parish councils has reduced and my attendance at meetings has been sporadic. This is a regrettable situation as I am elected to serve the residents of the parishes and yet my time has been allocated to the District Council and increasingly, to the Combined Authority. I was elected to the HDC leadership by the Conservative Group on a manifesto of reform and I appointed a Cabinet whom I felt could deliver the changes which are needed. These include the transformation of Council processes to improve service levels and productivity; delivering the 2016-2036 Local Plan with a strategy to build 21000 homes across the District, with a high percentage (approaching 40%) of affordable housing, an overhaul of the relationship between the District Council and our town and parishes an increase in the Councils commercial activities to raise non-tax revenues and help bridge the widening gap between revenues and costs to protect front line services the development of a strategic plan for the District which defines improved community resilience, economic growth, prosperity and housing plans and sets the framework for creating a more effective council for its residents. We have published a rolling two-year corporate plan with input from the commercial sector, developers, landowners, the MOD, educational establishments and other stakeholders to ensure that development plans are coordinated.
