145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site Visit made on 8 November 2021 by B Plenty BSc (Hons) DipTP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 24 November 2021 Appeal Ref: APP/K3605/W/21/3273649 145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham KT12 5NR • 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 Lawrence Pope, on behalf of DevCon, against the decision of Elmbridge Borough Council. • The application Ref 2020/1222, dated 21 May 2020, was refused by notice dated 11 February 2021. • The development proposed is a part three/part four-storey detached building comprising 18 flats and 1 retail unit (105 sqm) with associated parking and communal areas following demolition of existing houses and retail unit. Decision 1.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The appeal is allowed, and planning permission is granted for a part three/part four-storey detached building comprising 18 flats and 1 retail unit (105 sqm) with associated parking and communal areas following demolition of existing houses and retail unit at 145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham KT12 5NR in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 2020/1222, dated 21 May 2020, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the attached schedule of conditions. Applications for costs 2. An application for costs has been made by Mr Lawrence Pope against Elmbridge Borough Council. This is the subject of a separate decision. Preliminary Matters 3. Planning permission was granted1 on site for 20 flats and a retail unit in October 2018 (The Approved Scheme). Key differences from this to the proposal is a reduction from 20 to 18 flats, reduced parking from 10 to 8 spaces and an increased affordable housing provision from 40% to 100%. It seems that this approval may have expired recently unimplemented. Nevertheless, the relevant local policies seem unchanged, and I see no reason why such a scheme would not still be found to be acceptable to the Council.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The previous decision therefore forms an important material consideration within this appeal. 4. The proposal has been submitted with a Unilateral Undertaking (UU)2. This would provide for all on site flats to be made available for affordable rent. 1 Planning Application Reference: 2017/1323 2 Unilateral Undertaking, dated 28 January 2021. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

An amended layout plan3 has been submitted that shows a buggy store within part of the previous cycle parking area. I will return to this later in my decision. Main Issues 6. The main issues are: • The effect of the proposed development on parking availability, with particular respect to the impact on the convenience and amenities of local residents, and • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with respect to the absence of a lift and buggy store and with regard to access to daylight, sunlight and outlook for flats 9 and 15 and in regard to the pollution impact and ease of access for flats 2 and 3. Reasons Parking provision 7. Hersham Road is a main route through the area. It includes a combination of commercial and residential development close to the appeal site. Parking restrictions are evident along the highway in front of the site, and towards Halfway Local Centre to the northwest. Consequently, double yellow lines and a pedestrian crossing limit available parking close to the frontage of the site.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Also, most of Felcott Road is subject to a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) with permit parking restrictions imposed between 08:00 and 18:00 hours Monday to Saturday. Also, West Grove opposite the site is covered by a CPZ. 8. The proposal would include eight parking spaces and a bicycle store with fourteen spaces. The site has good access to bus services and Walton-on- Thames Railway Station which is within a 10-minute walk of the site. A range of goods and services are also available locally. 9. Although only offering a snap-shot in time, when I visited the site on a weekday morning, local on-street parking was broadly available. Furthermore, many residential properties have driveways, reducing demand for on-street spaces. This capacity was also found in the appellant’s parking surveys. The surveys provide a current and reasonable insight into parking availability on local roads. 10. Consequently, whilst the Council’s Car Parking SPD (2020) requires the proposal to include a maximum of 25 parking spaces, local car ownership of occupiers of flats is only around 74%.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Therefore, the accessibility benefits of the site, combined with the availability of on-street parking and the provision of on-site bicycle storage, would limit demand for on-street parking in the area. Furthermore, whilst recognising the parking concerns of the Council and interested parties, the site is in a relatively accessible location and would therefore provide reasonable access to various forms of non-car related transport. Accordingly, the reduced parking provision of the scheme would result in only limited on-street parking demand. 11. The concerns raised by local residents, with respect to congestion experienced on local roads and the parking pressure experience locally, are recognised. My attention has been particularly drawn to the busy nature of West Grove and 3 Amended Plan: 2018/008/PL03 Rev G https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/21/3273649 Felcott Road. However, these concerns largely relate to existing difficulties, which the proposed development would not materially exacerbate. I also recognise that the Highway Authority found that the proposal would not result in any adverse impact upon highway safety or capacity grounds, a point of significant weight. The limited impact of on-street parking is also supported by the appellant’s Transport Assessment4. This illustrates that the scheme would result in only a small increase in car and rail trips in comparison to the existing uses of the site. I see no reason, in evidence, not to accept these conclusions. 12. Accordingly, the effect of the proposed development on parking availability, with particular respect to the impact on the convenience and amenities of local residents would be limited. The proposal would therefore accord with policy DM7 of the Elmbridge Local Plan 2015 (LP) and the Council’s parking SPD. The policy seeks, among other matters, for parking provision to be appropriate to the development and to not result in an increase in on-street parking stress that would be detrimental to the amenities of local residents. Living conditions 13.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The appellant has provided a revised plan that incorporates a buggy store. However, this provision would result in a reduction of the bicycle store which would reduce the sustainable travel benefits of the scheme. I have therefore not accepted this revision. The proposal would include two-bedroom flats, which could accommodate families. Although a buggy store and lift would be of benefit to families and others within the development, the Council has not identified a specific policy requirement for such provision. A lift would be useful too, but this is not an essential requirement, especially as the building is relatively low rise. Also, the bicycle store is of sufficient size to accommodate an informal buggy store area if deemed required by a future occupier. For these reasons, the absence of these facilities would not warrant the refusal of the proposal. 14. Proposed flats 9 and 15 would be located at the far end of the block. These are at first and second floor and each have a bedroom and kitchen window that would look towards the rear garden of 1 Felcott Road. It would be necessary for the bedroom and kitchen windows of flats 9 and 15 to be obscurely glazed to prevent overlooking.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The bedroom window would serve the second bedroom of each flat and the kitchen window would be a secondary window for the large room it is within. As such, future occupiers of these flats would experience a limited loss of outlook from these windows. Furthermore, this arrangement would be similar to that seen within the Approved Scheme, requiring the bedroom windows of flat 10 to be obscurely glazed. 15. The appellant’s daylight assessment5 has identified that the level of daylight reaching the bedrooms of these two flats would pass the Average Daylight Factor criteria and all rooms would meet the Room Depth Criteria. Only Flat 9 would experience daylight levels from the sky that would be slightly below the recommended level. However, this would result in only minimal harm to future occupiers. Accordingly, as the bedroom windows affected would serve the smaller of the two bedrooms in each flat, the overall effect to these two flats would be marginal. As such, the effect of obscure glazing would not demonstrably harm the living conditions of future occupiers. 4 Transport Statement, May 2020 by Caneparo Associates 5 Interior Daylight Analysis – 31 March 2021, by eight associates https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/21/3273649 16. Proposed flats 2 and 3 would be located at ground floor and their south elevations would overlook the car park. The windows of each flat would include a bedroom and a kitchen window. These windows would serve a second bedroom window and kitchen. The kitchen window would offer a secondary light source for the main living space which principally overlooks the embankment. Although the proposed car park would be close to these windows, it would be relatively small, and contain vehicles that would be likely to move infrequently. Furthermore, cars would be unlikely to remain in situ with the engine running for long periods that might cause substantial pollution nuisance to adjacent occupiers. It is also not uncommon for such a relationship to exist in close knit urban spaces. As a result, this relationship would not create a poor-quality living environment. 17. Consequently, the proposal would be acceptable despite the absence of a lift and buggy store. Also flats 9 and 15 would have sufficient access to daylight, sunlight and outlook and flats 2 and 3 would not suffer substantial pollution impact.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision As a consequence, the proposal would comply with policies DM2, DM5, DM7 and DM10 of the LP, the Design and Character SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework (The Framework). These seek development, inter alia, to protect the amenity of adjoining and potential occupiers and to minimise the impact of vehicle and traffic nuisance. Other Matters 18. The proposed development would provide eighteen flats of various sizes. The Framework seeks to significantly boost the supply of housing. This is an important point in favour of the appeal scheme especially as the Council cannot demonstrate a 5-year Housing land supply. 19. Policy CS21 of the CS requires that development resulting in 15 residential units or more should provide 40% of the gross number of dwellings to be affordable housing. A UU has been submitted that seeks to provide a provision of 100% that would meet and exceed this requirement. The UU would bind the proposal to deliver Affordable Rent dwellings, at 20% below local market rent. This type of Affordable Housing is recognised as a suitable mechanism in the Framework, and this would be properly secured by the UU. As such, this would satisfy the policy requirement.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The provision of 18 affordable dwellings within this borough also weighs significantly in favour of the merits of the proposal. 20. The proposal is to the northwest of houses on Fewcott Road. As such, it would not result in a loss of sunlight to these neighbouring dwellings. In terms of daylight and outlook impact, the proposal would be within the vista of 1 Fewcott Road. The Council’s ’45 degree rule’, as established within its Design and Character SPD, would be breached. However, the impact on daylight and outlook would be limited due to the relatively significant separation distance between No 1 and the proposal. Furthermore, overlooking from flats 8 and 14 would offer only oblique views towards rear gardens of Fewcott Road. A condition could be applied to prevent overlooking from the south facing windows of flats 9 and 15. 21. A planning appeal was dismissed in 2018 for a proposed flat conversion at 8 West Grove6 due to its impact on on-street parking. The submission was absent 6 Planning Appeal Reference: APP/K3605/W/17/3187926 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/21/3273649 a parking survey and the site was found to be within an area of high parking stress. As such, the context was substantially different to the current case. 22. Deliveries to the commercial unit would consist of a combination of light goods vehicles and large vehicles. Although the Transport Statement indicates that large deliveries would take place from the highway, it seems likely that the majority of delivery vehicles would be smaller and would use the on-site turning and delivery provision. Furthermore, the car park would predominantly provide for resident parking and would therefore be a low intensity use, having a negligible effect on local traffic levels. As a result, the access into the site would be lightly trafficked, with limited chance of conflict between vehicles entering and leaving simultaneously. 23. The footway in front of the site is relatively deep. Accordingly, this would provide sufficient visibility splays and form a safe exit onto the highway, without detriment to vehicular or pedestrian safety.

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision The evidence before me does not indicate that this minimal increase of traffic would cause significant harm to highway safety, and I note that the Highway Authority takes a similar view. 24. It is not in evidence that the site is vulnerable to flooding. The Lead Local Flood Authority raised no objection to the scheme subject to the imposition of drainage conditions in accordance with the appellant’s drainage strategy. Consequently, I do not find that flood related matters present a reason to reject the development. 25. I have also taken into account representations made in regard to water supply and potential damage to the highway from construction vehicles, but these matters do not affect my findings on the main issues. Conditions 26. I have considered the use of conditions in line with the guidance set out in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). I shall impose most of the Council’s suggested conditions with some adjustments for clarity. 27. It is necessary for conditions that relate to drainage, decontamination and Construction Transport Management, to be submitted prior to the commencement of development [conditions 8, 12 and 14].

145-149 Hersham Road, Hersham, Surrey, KT12 5NR — Elmbridge Borough Council — Appeal Decision I consider these pre-commencement conditions to be so fundamental to the development that it would have been otherwise necessary to refuse permission. These are required at an early stage as they relate to underground works, site set up and how the construction process would be undertaken. These conditions are necessary in the interests of flood prevention, the living conditions of future occupiers and to prevent disturbance to adjacent residents and road users. 28. I have imposed the standard conditions advised by the PPG for clarity and certainty [1 and 2]. Conditions with respect to landscaping and materials are necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area [3, 6, 7 and 10]. Further conditions are necessary, to require the south facing windows of flats 9 and 15 to be obscurely glazed to protect the privacy of neighbouring dwellings [4]. Conditions are required to provide for a refuse store, verification of decontamination and drainage scheme and sound insulation in the interests of the living conditions of future occupiers [5, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 23] and to protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers [19, 20 and 21].

It is also necessary for sustainable travel measures to be provided to address the requirements of policy DM7 of the LP and Paragraph 107(e) of the Framework [11 and 13]. 29. The Council has suggested the imposition of two conditions that relate to tree protection measures. However, the proposal would not incorporate the existing on-site trees, which I found during my visit to be of limited value and having a negligible positive impact on the wider area. Consequently, their loss would be adequately offset by the proposed replacement planting. Such conditions for tree protection have been insufficiently justified and would therefore be unnecessary. Conclusion 30. The proposal would accord with the development plan, when taken as whole, and there are no material considerations that indicate the appeal should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan. As such, the appeal is allowed, and planning permission granted subject to the attached conditions and the associated Unilateral Undertaking.
