Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 9 August 2022 by David Cross BA(Hons) PgDip(Dist) TechIOA MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 24/10/2022 Appeal Ref: APP/D5120/W/21/3283035 Garages adjacent to No. 9 Wadeville Close, Belvedere, Kent. (Grid Ref Easting: 549342; Grid Ref Northing: 178054) • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant technical details consent. • The appeal is made by Mr Thandi against the decision of the Council of the London Borough of Bexley. • The application Ref 21/00915/TECHDT, dated 19 March 2021, was refused by notice dated 28 July 2021. • The development proposed is described on the appeal form as “Technical Details Consent following the Permission in Principle ref. 20/00800/PIP for the demolition of garages and the erection of 6 x residential flats comprising 3 x 1 bedroom and 3 x 2 bedroom with provision of car and cycle spaces. (Revised proposal to application 20/02887/TECHDT)”. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and technical details consent is granted for Technical Details Consent following the Permission in Principle ref.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision 20/00800/PIP for the demolition of garages and the erection of 6 x residential flats comprising 3 x 1 bedroom and 3 x 2 bedroom with provision of car and cycle spaces at garages adjacent to No. 9 Wadeville Close, Belvedere, Kent (Grid Ref Easting: 549342; Grid Ref Northing: 178054) in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 21/00915/TECHDT, dated 19 March 2021 and subject to the conditions set out in the attached schedule. Procedural Matters 2. The proposal is for Technical Details Consent following the grant of Permission in Principle. The Planning Practice Guidance advises that this is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development. The Permission in Principle has established that the location, land use, and amount of development is suitable in principle. The Technical Details Consent that is the subject of this appeal can consider the remaining detailed matters but cannot reopen what has been agreed at the Permission in Principle stage. I have determined this appeal on that basis. 3. The description of the development provided on the application form has been replaced by an amended version on the decision notice and in subsequent appeal documents.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D5120/W/21/3283035 However, in granting Technical Details Consent I have removed reference to a previous application as that is not part of the development proposed. 4. During the course of this appeal it became apparent that some details on the submitted plans were incorrect, including the titles of some plans and indications of the form of existing development. The appellant has submitted amended plans to address these issues, and the Council has been given the opportunity to comment on these plans. The amendments consist of minor matters of clarification, and the substantive content of the plans has not changed. On that basis, no interested party would be prejudiced by my considering this appeal on the basis of the amended plans. Main Issue 5. The main issue is the effect of the proposal on parking provision in the area, with due regard to highway safety and the convenience of nearby residents. Reasons 6. The appeal site consists of a number of garages and a forecourt accessed via a cul-de-sac. The proposed residential development would involve the demolition of the garages and the loss of the forecourt, with the resultant loss of parking provision. 7.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision As part of the proposal, 1 parking space would be provided for each of the 6 dwellings, resulting in 6 spaces in total. In its Highway Planning Appeal Statement, the Council accepts that this meets the car ownership levels indicated in the 2011 Census data for this area. On that basis, I consider that the proposal would provide sufficient car parking for residents of the proposed development. 8. The appeal site includes a number of garages which would be demolished. However, the appellant purchased the site in 2019, and the submitted marketing details specified that the garages were vacant. The appellant also submits that the garages are old and unfit for modern vehicles, and that many were used primarily for storage. The Council has provided no substantive evidence to the contrary. Therefore, on the basis of the evidence before me, the garages have not been used for the parking of vehicles since at least 2019. 9. The site also includes a forecourt area. The evidence submitted by the main parties indicates that this could provide parking for between 4-6 vehicles, and the Council refers to this area being used for the parking of residents vehicles as late as December 2020.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision However, at the time of my visit the garages and forecourt were closed off and were not available for the parking of vehicles. I also observed a number of on-street spaces which were available in the area, although I am mindful that I visited the site during the day, whereas the demand for parking in this residential area will be at the evenings and weekends. 10. The appellant has undertaken a number of parking surveys in the area using the ‘Lambeth’ methodology. The local parking network is considered to be ‘stressed’ when on-street parking exceeds 85% of capacity. 11. Parking surveys undertaken in March 2020 indicate that on-street parking stress in this area would be below the 85% threshold. However, the Council has expressed concern that these surveys were based on a 5m parking space, https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D5120/W/21/3283035 whereas Bexley’s requirement is for a 5.5m parking space. Concern was also expressed in relation to the extent of the survey distance from the site. 12. In response, the appellant has undertaken 2 further parking surveys on 9 and 10 December 2020. These were based on a 200m radius of the site, and undertook calculations on the basis of both a 5m and 5.5m parking space. 13. Based on a 5.5m parking space, these later surveys identified a parking stress of 86.5% and 83.2%, with an average of approximately 85%. This is essentially at the threshold where parking in this area is considered to be stressed. 14. However, the appellant’s evidence specifies that the December 2020 surveys were undertaken when the appeal site and a nearby parking site at Lumley Close were closed to local residents. The roads within the scope of the survey therefore accommodated all local on-street parking. Given that the proposal would include sufficient parking provision for the development itself, the evidence suggests that the proposed development would have a neutral effect on the level of on-street parking in this area. 15.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Furthermore, the parking stress figures I have referred to from the December 2020 surveys are based on the Bexley 5.5m parking space. This specification has also been referred to in a recent decision at Ruskin Road1. However, the appellant’s evidence specifies that when a Lambeth methodology 5m space is used as a basis for calculations then on-street parking occupancy is significantly below the 85% threshold. Also, the majority of on-street spaces in this area are not marked out, and there is therefore some flexibility in respect of the accommodation of on-street vehicle parking. On that basis, I consider that the use of the 5.5m space as the basis for calculations is a worst-case scenario. Therefore, even given the relationship of the average surveyed parking demand to the 85% threshold, this is not sufficient to demonstrate unacceptable parking stress in this area. 16. I have had regard to the Ruskin Road appeal decision. However, that proposal would have provided no off-street parking for the proposed dwellings, and is therefore materially different to the appeal before me where suitable parking for the proposal would be provided within the site. 17.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision The Council refers to parking observed on the appeal site on 5 December 2020, shortly before the date of the parking surveys undertaken in that month. However, the appellant has confirmed that between 4-6 December 2020 the gate was left open to allow access for the site owner. Furthermore, the parking surveys undertaken in December 2020 specifically state that no observed parking spaces were in use on the Wadeville Close Garage Area. On the basis of the evidence before me, the parking observed on 5 December does not undermine the robustness of the appellant’s parking surveys. 18. The proposal would generate some visitor parking which would not be provided for within the site. However, this would be intermittent and would predominantly be for short periods of time. Due to this, and the limited number of dwellings proposed, the level of visitor parking generated by the proposal would not be unacceptable. 1 Appeal Ref: APP/D5120/W/21/3273029 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D5120/W/21/3283035 19. Reference has been made to a condition on the original planning permission for this area of housing which states that “The space shown reserved for the parking of cars shall be used for, or available for, such use at all times”. The Council submits that the closure of this parking area would be in breach of this condition. However, there are other routes available to the Council should it consider this is a matter which should be enforced, and this does not demonstrate that the parking on the appeal site was not closed off at the time of the parking surveys. Furthermore, a permission granted in respect of the appeal proposal would represent a new chapter in the development of this site, and given my conclusions in respect of parking stress in this area this is not a matter that leads me to conclude that the appeal should be dismissed. 20. Based on what I have seen and read, I conclude that the proposal would not lead to unacceptable parking stress in this area, and would therefore not be harmful in respect of highway safety or the convenience of residents.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision The proposal would therefore not be contrary to policy T4 of the London Plan 2021, Policy CS15 of the Core Strategy 2012, and saved policies ENV39 and T17 of the Unitary Development Plan 2004 which together seek to mitigate the transport impacts of development and make adequate provision for vehicle parking, amongst other things. The proposal would also not be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework in respect of the impact on highway safety. Other Matters 21. Comments raised locally refer to the design of the proposal. The wider area includes building of a variety of designs and scale, although the majority of dwellings on Wadeville Close are of an understated suburban appearance. The flat roofed design of the proposal would contrast with the pitched roofs of the nearest buildings. However, the appeal site is located at one corner of the streetscape, and due to its self-contained nature it is appropriate that the development of this site does not have to mimic nearby properties. The proposal also uses the topography of the site to limit the scale and massing of the building.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Despite its differing character, I consider that the bespoke design of the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area. 22. The appeal site is located in close proximity to the dwelling of 9 Wadeville Close. However, the proposed building would have a limited projection beyond the rear elevation of No 9 and would not appear as an overdominant feature in views from the neighbouring property. The proposed balconies would also have a limited degree of projection, and although these may allow a degree of overlooking of neighbouring properties, the Council’s officer report refers to the use of privacy screens to retain a suitable degree of privacy and which can be secured by condition. 23. A swept path analysis submitted by the appellant demonstrates that vehicles can enter the site in a forward gear, manoeuvre within the site and then exit in a forward gear. Conditions 24. The Council and consultees have suggested a number of planning conditions which I have considered against the advice in the Planning Practice Guidance. As a result, I have amended some of the conditions for clarity. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D5120/W/21/3283035 25. In addition to the standard 3 year time limitation for commencement, I have imposed a condition requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the submitted plans in the interests of certainty. I have not referred to existing site plans or visualisations as these do not represent substantive details of the proposed development. 26. A condition requiring the submission of drainage details is required in the interests of sustainable drainage. A condition regarding site contamination is required to ensure that matters of land contamination are appropriately addressed. The submission of a Demolition and Construction Management and Logistics Plan is appropriate in the interests of the living conditions of nearby residents and highway safety. A condition regarding the submission of details of the green roof is required in the interests of biodiversity. Conditions regarding the storage of refuse and cycles are required in the interests of the living conditions of residents and sustainable transport.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision All of these details should be submitted to and approved by the local planning authority at the pre-commencement stage as they relate to matters which need to be established before the commencement of building operations. 27. A condition in respect of Secured By Design is appropriate in the interests of promoting safe communities. I have reworded this condition as it is not appropriate to require in a condition that a development should be carried out to the satisfaction of a third party as this decision rests with the local planning authority. It will be for the local planning authority to decide whether or not to consult with any other parties when considering if a submitted scheme is acceptable. 28. A condition in respect of materials and finishes is appropriate in the interests of character and appearance. A condition in respect of works affecting trees is required in the interests of biodiversity as well as character and appearance. Conditions removing permitted development rights and requiring details of privacy screens are required in the interests of privacy. The submission of details in respect of bird and bat nesting is required in the interests of biodiversity.

Garages adjancent to No. 9 Wadeville Close , Belvedere, Kent , DA17 5ND — London Borough of Bexley — Appeal Decision Conditions in respect of lighting as well as hard and soft landscaping are required in the interests of character and appearance as well as the living conditions of residents. Conditions regarding the provision and retention of vehicle parking and visibility splays are required in the interests of highway safety. 29. A condition in respect of accessible and adaptable dwellings is appropriate in the interests of meeting the needs of people whose mobility is impaired. A condition in respect of water efficiency is appropriate in respect of sustainable water supply. I have reworded both conditions, as the discharge of conditions is the responsibility of the local planning authority and it will be for them to decide whether or not to consult with any other parties when considering if submitted details are acceptable. Conclusion 30. For the reasons given above, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed.
