The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 16 August 2022 by F Wilkinson BSc (Hons), MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 03 October 2022 Appeal Ref: APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 The Duke William Motel, 27 Church Street, Haxey DN9 2HY • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Mr Paul Chapman against the decision of North Lincolnshire Council. • The application Ref PA/2020/1354, dated 27 August 2020, was refused by notice dated 28 January 2021. • The development proposed is described on the application form as full planning application to erect three two-storey, three bedroom detached dwellings, three two- storey, four bedroom detached dwellings and change the use of the main building of the Duke William Motel to residential use (including demolition of an existing side extension to the Duke William and rear chalets). Decision 1.

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted to erect six two- storey detached dwellings and change the use of the main building of The Duke William Motel to residential use (and demolish an existing side extension to the Duke William and rear chalets) at The Duke William Motel, 27 Church Street, Haxey, DN9 2HY in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref PA/2020/1354, dated 27 August 2020, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2. The description in the banner heading is taken from the application form. The description on the decision notice and appeal form is ‘planning permission to erect six two-storey detached dwellings and change the use of the main building of The Duke William Motel to residential use (and demolish an existing side extension to the Duke William and rear chalets)’. This more accurately describes the proposal and is what I have used in my decision, omitting ‘planning permission’ as this is not a description of development. 3. Each proposal must be determined on its planning merits in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 Reasons 5. The appeal site lies within the defined development boundary of Haxey and comprises land and buildings associated with The Duke William Motel which the submitted evidence indicates closed in 2019. 6. The northern part of the site lies within the Isle of Axholme Area of Special Historic Landscape Interest (the ASHLI), defined under Policy LC14 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan, adopted 2003 (the Local Plan). The supporting text to the policy states that significant areas of medieval open strip fields and Turbaries together with enclosed land and the overall settlement pattern of the area make it unique in the country. Policy LC14 does not allow for development that would destroy, damage or adversely affect the character, appearance or setting of the historic landscape, or any of its features. 7. The Council regards this area to be a non-designated heritage asset. Paragraph 203 of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) states that in weighing applications that directly or indirectly affect non-designated heritage assets, a balanced judgement will be required having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset. 8.

Page 2 · Chunk 5 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The significance of the ASHLI is derived in part from the pattern of ancient open strip fields, the enclosures of small irregular fields known as early enclosed land surrounding the villages and the overall settlement pattern. The ancient open strip fields form part of the setting of Haxey and the presence of the early enclosed land is apparent on the edge of the built development on both sides of Church Street in the vicinity of the site. There is an inherent spaciousness to the ASHLI which extends into the backland areas in this part of the village, and which is a positive and distinctive characteristic. 9. The submitted information indicates that the northern part of the site that is within the ASHLI is situated within the block of ancient open strip fields while the southern part, outside of the ASHLI, is within the early enclosed land. The presence of the chalets along one boundary of the site and the hard surfaced car park mean that it does not have an undeveloped appearance. Nevertheless, to the extent that part of the site is free from buildings, it does contribute to the overall significance of the ASHLI. 10.

Page 2 · Chunk 6 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The site is within the historic core of the village, the street scene of which is dominated by the grade I listed St. Nicholas Church. Although not listed, the main Duke William Motel building is an attractive property of traditional design that compliments the adjacent grade II listed building at 23 and 25 Church Street. There is a spacious character to the settlement behind the built form fronting onto Church Street due to the relative absence of built development. As noted above, to the extent that there is an absence of buildings on part of the site, it does contribute to this spacious character. Overall, therefore, the site contributes positively to the character and appearance of the area. 11. Based on the information that is before me, the application site boundary within which the proposed development would sit does not appear to extend as far north as the 2019 appeal scheme. It would comprise the demolition of the existing single storey chalets to the rear of the site and the demolition of a side extension of the main Duke William Motel building and its conversion to residential use, which the 2019 appeal scheme also did.

Page 3 · Chunk 9 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 scheme proposed the construction of seven detached bungalows and one detached house. There would therefore be two less dwellings and they would be of a different scale and design to that previously proposed. Although plots 3 and 4, which would sit on the northern boundary of the application site, would lie within the ASHLI, as would a part of plot 2 and part of the turning head, a smaller part of the ASHLI would be affected by built development. 12. The proposed development is therefore materially different to the 2019 appeal scheme in terms of the site boundary, the quantum of development, the layout of the built form and the scale and design of the dwellings. 13. The rear boundary of the application site does not extend as far north as the adjacent property at Whyalla and the removal of the chalets would reduce the northern projection of built development along the other boundary. The proposed dwellings would be visible from the ASHLI outside of the site, including from the footpath that runs just to the north and that which runs across the agricultural field to the north.

Page 3 · Chunk 10 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision However, from such vantage points, the proposed dwellings would be close enough to the existing built development that they would be seen against the context of the existing built form of the settlement, including Whyalla. The proposed development would not therefore appear as unduly extending the built form into the historic landscape from such vantage points. 14. There are already only relatively limited views of the historic landscape to the north of the settlement from Church Street in the vicinity of the site, given the screening effect of the existing buildings that front onto the street, and the property at Whyalla which shortens views at the access point. The visual link between Church Street and the landscape to the north would not therefore be materially changed. 15. However, the proposed development would introduce buildings onto the site where presently there are none, which would inevitably alter its appearance, and would, to a limited degree, reduce the overall sense of spaciousness. To this extent, there would be some harm to the significance of the ASHLI and its setting including the distinctive settlement form in what is the historic core of the village.

Page 3 · Chunk 11 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision However, the limited intrusion of the proposed development into the space, both spatially and visually, would mean that the loss of significance to this non-designated heritage asset as a whole would be limited, as would the harm to the character and appearance of the settlement form. 16. The site boundary is within the defined development boundary which was not the case with the 2019 appeal scheme. The design of the proposed dwellings is materially different to the 2019 appeal scheme and would be more in keeping with the traditional style of the built form in this part of Haxey. The scale of the proposed dwellings would be in keeping with those surrounding the site, and the proportions and arrangement of the doors and windows would be appropriate given the traditional style of the buildings in the vicinity. The proposed development would therefore respect the character and distinctiveness of the historic core of Haxey in terms of its general design. 17. I acknowledge that the street frontage would change.

Page 3 · Chunk 12 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision However, given the design of the proposed dwelling that would front onto Church Street, the scale of the new access and the nature of the boundary wall that would be removed, this would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 18. The front setting of the adjacent listed building at 23 and 25 Church Street would not be altered to a material extent by the proposed development given the retention of the main Duke William Motel building facing the street and the location and design proposed for the new dwelling that would front onto it. The rear setting would change from the single storey chalets to a built form with dwellings of a design that would be sympathetic to the character and appearance of the area and would retain some openness in between the built form. The grade I listed Church of St Nicholas is not readily visible from within the site, and the proposed dwelling that would front onto Church Street would be of a design that would complement the street scene. I am therefore satisfied that the proposed development would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings. 19. The 2019 appeal scheme was found to be unacceptable due to a combination of factors.

Page 4 · Chunk 15 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision This included the extent of development proposed within the ASHLI, the fact that the proposed dwellings would extend substantially beyond the footprint of the existing chalets and would noticeably erode the distinctive spaciousness of the area, the scale and design of the proposed bungalows which would be discordant with the character of the area, and the harm that would be caused to the nearby listed building. 20. I note that the proposal has sought to address these concerns. This has been achieved to a large extent. However, as the proposed development would reduce the open and spacious nature of the area, I conclude that, on balance, there would be some very limited harm to the significance of the ASHLI and its setting. 21. For the above reasons, I find that there would be some conflict with Policy LC14 of the Local plan which has been summarised above. The proposed development would also conflict with Policies CS1 and CS6 of the North Lincolnshire Local Development Framework Core Strategy adopted 2011 (the Core Strategy), and Policies LC7 and DS1 of the Local Plan.

Page 4 · Chunk 16 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Amongst other matters, these policies seek to protect historic landscapes including the ASHLI and require development to respect local landscape character and not have an adverse effect on features of acknowledged importance. There would also be some conflict with the heritage protection aims of the Framework and its design objectives relating to local character. Other Considerations 22. The harm arising from the proposal in terms of its effect on the ASHLI and its setting, as established above, would be very limited. 23. My attention has been drawn to the North Lincolnshire Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement, August 2021, which states that North Lincolnshire currently can demonstrate a 5.64 year supply between 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2026. However, the Council has identified that a recent appeal decision dated 20 July 20221 has been issued where the Inspector concluded that the Council cannot demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing sites. The Council has not disputed the conclusions reached by the Inspector in terms of the housing land supply position and I have not been provided with any evidence to indicate that such a position has changed.

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision 1 Appeal reference APP/Y2003/W/21/3278257 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4 Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 24. As the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing sites, footnote 8 of the Framework means that the ‘presumption in favour of sustainable development’ at paragraph 11d) of the Framework is engaged. As such, the most important policies should be deemed out of date and planning permission should be granted unless the application of policies in the Framework that protect areas or assets of particular importance provides a clear reason for refusing the development proposed or any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. 25. It is of note that non-designated heritage assets are not included in the list of areas or assets of particular importance stated in footnote 7 of the Framework and I have concluded that the proposal would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings. I would also add that there would be some very limited harm caused to the significance of the ASHLI and its setting and hence conflict with development plan policies. 26.

Page 5 · Chunk 19 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Nonetheless, the aforementioned development plan policies are out of date and paragraph 203 of the Framework requires that in weighing applications that directly or indirectly affect non-designated heritage assets, a ‘balanced judgment’ will be required having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset. The scale of harm would be very limited and there would be very limited loss of the significance of the asset. I reach an overall ‘balanced judgment’ in my overall conclusion at the end of this decision. 27. I accord moderate weight to the benefits of the provision of seven new dwellings and the associated socio-economic benefits that would result, notably in supporting employment during construction and the use that future occupants would make of nearby services and facilities. The proposal would also generate investment into the fabric of the main Duke William Motel building, albeit as a residence rather than a pub. 28. The main parties agree that the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a deliverable five year supply of housing sites.

Page 5 · Chunk 20 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The Inspector for the appeal decision identified by the Council concluded that the supply position is likely to be above 3.2 years but below 4.8 years. Even if the shortfall is modest, the proposal would nonetheless make a positive contribution towards the supply of housing in the area. Other Matters 29. The number of objections to the proposed development received during the consideration of the planning application and as part of the appeal, and the registration of The Duke William Motel as an asset of community value in 2018 indicate that it was valued by the local community. 30. The property has been the subject of a scheme of marketing. I note the reference to a potential sale with a view to re-opening the facility as a pub and restaurant. However, there is no robust evidence before me on this or to suggest that there has been an attempt to take over The Duke William Motel and bring it back to community use. Unaudited financial statements for The Duke William Motel indicate an operating loss most years between 2009 and 2019, and a gross profit below that estimated in the viability report submitted https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 by an interested party2. Other facilities are available in the locality, including two pubs in the village that collectively offer meals, accommodation, beer garden and typical pub games. While The Duke William Motel has a distinctive place in terms of its appeal and history, I find that the proposal would not result in unnecessary loss of valued facilities and services and would not reduce the community’s ability to meet its day-to-day needs. 31. Haxey is a rural settlement where small scale developments that maintain the viability of the settlement and meet identified local needs without increasing the need to travel would be permissible under the terms of Policies CS2 and CS8 of the Core Strategy, these policies along with Policy CS7 having replaced Policy H1 of the Local Plan. The Council’s information indicates that Haxey contains five out of the seven key facilities and services considered in its North Lincolnshire Settlement Survey (2019). Given this context, the scale of the proposed development would not be unacceptable in terms of the Council’s development strategy.

Page 6 · Chunk 22 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision In addition, it has not been demonstrated that there is insufficient capacity within the existing services to meet the demand that would be generated by the proposed development. 32. The Framework states that provision of affordable housing should not be sought for residential developments that are not major developments, other than in designated rural areas (where policies may set out a lower threshold of five units or fewer). My attention has not been drawn to any development plan policies relating to affordable housing provision and there is no evidence before me to suggest that the site is within a designated rural area, which the Framework’s Glossary defines as ‘National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and areas designated as ‘rural’ under Section 157 of the Housing Act 1985’. On this basis, it would not be necessary to require an affordable housing contribution. 33. There is no robust evidence before me to indicate that traffic speeds or volume, or congestion caused by on-street parking or refuse collection vehicles are a significant cause for concern about highway safety, or that appropriate visibility splays would not be achieved.

Page 6 · Chunk 23 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The proposed development would make appropriate provision for parking within the site. Appropriate measures could be put in place to manage surface water and drainage to ensure that there would be no unacceptable increase in flood risk, and to address any potential contamination. The proposal would be sufficiently separated from other properties with regard to the prevailing pattern of development such that unacceptable effects would not result to the living conditions of nearby residents, including occupiers of Whyalla. There is no clear evidence that the hedgerow to the rear would be classed as ancient or to suggest that the site is of ecological value. 34. None of the other matters raised alter or outweigh my overall conclusion below. Planning Balance and Conclusion 35. I find that the proposal would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings and that it would result in very limited harm to the significance of the ASHLI and its setting.

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/21/3270879 development plan policies, would be significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified benefits of the proposal when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. Consequently, the appeal should be allowed. Conditions 36. I have considered the conditions suggested by the Council, having regard to the six tests set out in the Framework, and have amended the wording of certain conditions in that light (without altering their fundamental aims). 37. As well as the standard time condition, and for certainty, one is required to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved plans. 38. A number of conditions are required prior to commencement of development to ensure that the relevant details are acceptable and compliance with their requirements at a later time could result in unacceptable harm. These are summarised in the following paragraph. 39. In the interests of highway safety, it is necessary to require details of the relocation of the lighting column, telegraph pole and water board marker.

Page 7 · Chunk 27 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Details of the construction phase is necessary to ensure that the impacts of construction on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and highway safety are minimised. Drainage details are necessary to make sure that there is no increased risk of flooding. For the same reason, details are necessary to ensure that surface water run off from the highway and hard surfaced areas can be effectively managed. 40. It is necessary to restrict hours of operation during the construction phase, including when HGVs can enter and leave the site, in the interests of the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. In the interests of highway safety, conditions are necessary to restrict the use of loose material and structures or planting near to the adopted highway, to require details of the private driveway, and to require that the vehicle access is provided and access and parking for the dwellings are available for use and retained as such. In the interest of public health and safety and the environment, a scheme to address land contamination risks is necessary.

Page 7 · Chunk 28 Appeal Decision

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Conditions are necessary to secure details of the external materials and the windows and doors to be used on the development, boundary treatments, landscaping and bin storage in the interests of the character and appearance of the area. Conclusion 41. For the above reasons, and having taken all other relevant matters into account, the other material considerations in favour of the development proposed justify taking a decision which is not in accordance with certain provisions of the development plan. Therefore, having had regard to the development plan as a whole and to the approach in the Framework, the appeal should be allowed.

Page 9 · Chunk 34 F Wilkinson

The Duke William Motel, Church Street, Haxey, DONCASTER, DN9 2HY — North Lincolnshire Council — F Wilkinson The scheme shall be based on sustainable drainage principles and an assessment of the hydrological and hydro-geological context of the development. The drainage scheme shall demonstrate that surface water run- off generated up to and including the 1 in 100 year critical storm (including an allowance for climate change) will not exceed the run-off from the existing site. It shall also include details of how the resulting completed scheme is to be maintained and managed for the lifetime of the development so that flood risk, both on and off the site, is not increased. SuDS must be considered. Should infiltration not be feasible at the site, alternative sustainable drainage should be used, focusing on above-ground solutions. The drainage scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved submitted details required by condition 6, completed prior to the first occupation of any dwelling, and thereafter retained and maintained. 8) No development shall take place until details showing an effective method of preventing surface water run-off from hard paved areas within the site onto the highway have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

Main issues and findings

Heritage impact
Against appellant
¶11

The development would reduce the open and spacious nature of the area, and would cause some harm to the significance of the ASHLI and its setting, including the distinctive settlement form in what is the historic core of the village.

Living conditions
Against appellant
¶34

There is no clear evidence that the hedgerow to the rear would be classed as ancient or to suggest that the site is of ecological value.

Highway safety
For appellant
¶34

There is no clear evidence that traffic speeds or volume, or congestion caused by on-street parking or refuse collection vehicles are a significant cause for concern about highway safety.

Green belt
For appellant
¶null

Not relevant to this decision

Housing land supply
For appellant
¶34

The local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing sites, which means that the 'presumption in favour of sustainable development' is engaged.
