Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 18 February 2022 by S R G Baird BA (Hons) MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 17 March 2022 Appeal Ref: APP/D2320/W/21/3284692 Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, Lancashire PR7 4JE • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant outline planning permission. • The appeal is made by Hollins Strategic Land against the decision of Chorley Borough Council. • The application Ref 20/01200/OUTMAJ, dated 5 November 2020, was refused by notice dated 13 April 2021. • The development proposed is residential development of up to 25 dwellings. Preliminary Matters 1. Accompanied by an illustrative Masterplan, the application was submitted in outline with all matters other than access reserved. 2. The local planning authority’s (lpa) Statement of Case (13 December 2021) and a Supplemental Statement of Common Ground (February 2022) confirmed that the reasons for refusal would not be pursued. In the Supplemental Statement of Common Ground, the lpa confirms that: a.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Policies 1 and 4 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Policy BNE3 of the Chorley Local Plan are the most important policies for the determination of the appeal. b. the lpa cannot show a 5-year Housing Land Supply1 (HLS), the shortfall is significant, the most important policies for determining the appeal are out-of-date2 and limited weight should be attributed to Policy BNE3. c. given the significant shortfall in housing land, significant weight attaches to the delivery of housing and affordable housing. d. applying the Framework tilted balance2, there are no adverse impacts associated with the proposal that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole and the appeal should be allowed. Applying S38 (6) of the above Act, material considerations associated with the development outweigh the conflict with Policy BNE3, and permission should be granted. e. there is no conflict with any other development plan policies, and there are no site specific or other reasons that justify dismissing the appeal. The appeal should be allowed, subject to conditions and S106 obligations. 1 The lpa has a housing supply of between 2.4 and 2.6-years.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/21/3284692 3. A S106 Agreement has been submitted. Decision 4. The appeal is allowed, and outline planning permission is granted for residential development of up to 25 dwellings on land off Carrington Road, Adlington, Lancashire PR7 4JE in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 20/01200/OUTMAJ, dated 5 November 2020, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions set out in the attached Schedule of Conditions. Main Issue 5. Whether having regard to the Supplemental Statement of Common Ground, there are material considerations that would justify dismissing the appeal. Reasons 6. The development plan comprises, the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy (CS) and the Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026 (LP). CS Policy 1 identifies Adlington as an Urban Local Service Centre, where some growth and investment will be encouraged to help meet housing and employment needs. The LP shows the appeal site forming part of a larger area of land safeguarded for future development needs beyond the plan period (Policy BNE3.3) and the northern part within the Green Belt 7.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Located on the edge of the settlement, the site is in an accessible and sustainable location, within a reasonable walking distance of bus stops, railway station, community facilities and shops that would provide for the day to day needs of residents. The Education Authority has indicated there would be sufficient primary school places within the catchment area of the site and that demand for secondary school places would be mitigated by a financial contribution. I have noted the comments made regarding pressure on Primary Care provision. However, this is not substantiated by evidence and the providers of these services have not made representations relating to existing shortcomings or requested contributions towards additional provision. The development would be consistent with CS Policy 1. 8. That part of the site within the Green Belt would be retained free from built development as a biodiversity enhancement/open space area and a flood attenuation area. There is no conflict with Green Belt policy. 9.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Framework Paragraph 111 indicates that development should only be prevented or refused on highways grounds if there would be an unacceptable impact on highway safety, or the residual cumulative impacts on the road network would be severe. The application was accompanied by a Transport Assessment (TA) using accepted methodology and scrutinised by the highway authority3 (HA). The lpa and HA acknowledge that the site can, subject to mitigation, be accessed satisfactorily. Estate traffic would use Carrington Road and Park Road, where there is short-term congestion at school drop-off and pick-up times, to access the wider network. Whilst both roads accommodate high levels of parked cars, this is not unusual. The level of traffic generated by the development, some 13 and 12, 2-way vehicle trips respectively in the AM and PM peaks, would not result in a severe cumulative 3 Lancashire County Council https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/21/3284692 impact. Had the HA any concern about the robustness of the data this would have been raised. The submitted TA is robust, proportionate and provide a sound basis on which to assess this development. The proposal would not conflict with LP Policy BNE1. 10. The site is located within Flood Zone 1, an area at the lowest risk of flooding. Subject to conditions which include the submission of a detailed surface water sustainable drainage strategy, the Local Lead Flood Authority has no objection. Accordingly, the proposal would not conflict with CS Policy 29. 11. The application was accompanied by a Phase 1 Habitat Study. This concludes that the site comprises species-poor, improved grassland of limited biodiversity value and with mitigation, there would be no negative biodiversity impacts. The proposal was assessed for the lpa by the Greater Manchester Ecology Unit (GMEU), who, subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions relating to construction management and biodiversity enhancement, has no objection. The proposal would not conflict with LP Policy BNE9. Conclusions 12.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Framework paragraph 11d indicates that where the most important policies for the determination of a proposal are out-of-date, (which includes applications for housing, where the lpa cannot show a 5-year HLS), permission should be granted unless the adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the befits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, the tilted balance. 13. The most important policies for determining this appeal are CS Policies 1 and 4 and LP Policy BNE3. Whilst the proposal would be consistent with CS Policy 1, it would conflict with LP Policy BNE3, safeguarding land for future development. The lpa accepts that it cannot show a 5-year HLS and as such CS Policy 4 and LP Policy BNE3 are out-of-date. Taking the development plan as a whole, the most important policies for determining this appeal are out-of- date and the tilted balance applies. 14. The proposal would provide for up to 25 dwellings of which 30%, would be affordable homes (CS Policy 7). Given the absence of a 5-year HLS, the proposal would make, albeit a modest one, a material contribution to meeting local housing needs. As a benefit this attracts significant weight.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The development would secure economic benefits through construction investment and the contribution future occupants would make to the local economy. These benefits attract moderate weight. The site has limited biodiversity value and the development has the potential to provide biodiversity net gain. This is a benefit of limited weight. Given my assessment above, the harm arising from the conflict with LP Policy BNE3 is significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole. Conditions and Section 106 Agreement 15. In the interests of certainty, condition 4 listing the approved plans is imposed. Conditions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are necessary and reasonable in the interests of maintaining and enhancing diversity. Conditions 12, 13, 14 and 15 are necessary and reasonable in the interests of the appearance of the development and character of the area. Conditions 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/21/3284692 are necessary and reasonable in the interests of preventing flooding and securing foul and surface water drainage. Conditions 22, 23, 24 and 25 are reasonable and necessary in the interests of contributing to sustainable development. In the interest of amenity and highway safety, Conditions 26, 27 and 28 are necessary. Where necessary in the interests of precision and enforceability, I have amended the suggested conditions. 16. The completed S106 Agreement provides for financial contributions for secondary school places, playground provision (King Georges Field & Jubilee Park), allotments, greenspace improvements (Otterside Avenue), for parks and gardens (Leonard Fairclough Memorial Gardens & War Memorial Garden), playing pitches (Jubilee Playing Fields) and the provision of affordable housing and on-site open space. 17. These obligations have been costed and detailed and are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, are directly related to the development and are fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development proposed.

Land off Carrington Road, Adlington, PR7 4JE — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The Agreement meets the tests set out in the Framework and Regulation 122 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 and I have taken it into account in my decision. 18. The HA sought a financial contribution towards increasing the frequency of bus services. However, the request is not costed nor detailed and fails to meet the Framework and Regulation 122 tests. Overall Conclusion 19. For the above reasons and having taken all other matters into consideration this appeal is allowed.
