Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 22 August 2022 by Joanna Gilbert MA (Hons) MTP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 14th September 2022 Appeal Ref: APP/A2280/W/22/3291633 82 Jeffery Street, Gillingham, Kent ME7 1DB. • 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 B.S Khambay of Legstone Builders Ltd against the decision of Medway Council. • The application Ref MC/21/1891, dated 21 July 2021, was refused by notice dated 25 October 2021. • The development proposed is demolition of existing building and construction of a pair of two-bedroomed bungalows and one 2.5 storey block of flats, comprising three x 2- bedroomed flats and nine x 1-bedroom flats with associated amenity space, refuse, cycle storage and car parking. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for demolition of existing building and construction of a pair of two-bedroomed bungalows and one 2.5 storey block of flats, comprising three x 2-bedroomed flats and nine x 1-bedroom flats with associated amenity space, refuse, cycle storage and car parking.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision at 82 Jeffery Street, Gillingham Kent ME7 1DB in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref MC/21/1891, dated 21 July 2021, subject to the attached schedule of 19 conditions. Main Issues 2. The main issues in this appeal are: a) the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers on Victoria Street, with regard to privacy; and b) whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for infrastructure needs arising from the development, with particular regard to the effect of the development on the North Kent Marshes Special Protection Area (SPA)/Ramsar sites. Reasons Living conditions 3. Located on the edge of Gillingham’s town centre and surrounded by two and three-storey terraced houses on Jeffrey Street, King Street and Victoria Street, the site is used as a timber merchants. It comprises a two-storey building fronting Jeffrey Street, with a further workshop building and yard to the rear. 4. Planning permission MC/16/1443 was granted in February 2017 for the demolition of existing buildings and construction of a pair of 2 bedroomed detached bungalows and one two storey block of flats comprising 3 two https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/A2280/W/22/3291633 bedroomed flats and 7 one bedroomed flats with associated amenity space, refuse, cycle storage and associated car parking. This planning permission was not implemented and has now expired. The proposed development would be very similar to the previous planning permission, differing only in respect of changes to the roof form to allow for the provision of two further one-bedroom residential units within the roofspace and dormer windows to the roof. 5. At roof level, the proposed development would have 5 dormer windows in the main flatted building. Of these dormer windows, three would face north towards the proposed bungalows, while two would face east towards Victoria Road. These two dormer windows would serve a sitting room and a bedroom. 6. Both east facing dormer windows would face the shared amenity space serving terraced properties on Victoria Street. These terraced properties have been split into flats and are two-storey on their street frontage with a lower ground floor to the rear, creating a three-storey rear elevation. Some flats are accessed from Victoria Street or Jeffrey Street, with other flats accessed only via the shared amenity space.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision The shared amenity space is largely grassed with some paving and a washing line. Trees lie adjacent to Jeffrey Street and shrubs and vegetation cover the fenced boundary adjacent to the site. 7. There is a difference of opinion between the appellant and the Council as to the number of properties utilising the shared amenity space. I have followed the appellant’s assumptions that the shared amenity space would serve 17 – 27 Victoria Street as this is a greater number of properties and the shared space does appear to extend to No 27. 8. It would be reasonable to assume that a number of properties at Nos 17 – 27 have access to the shared amenity space and that the space would be overlooked by lower ground, ground and first floor windows in other flats. While both east-facing dormer windows would face the shared amenity space, they would be located some 9.5 metres from the site boundary. Given the shared nature of the space, existing overlooking by other flats, the extent of vegetation, and the distance of the proposed dormer windows from the amenity space, I find that the dormer windows would not cause harm to the privacy of neighbouring occupiers. 9.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Concluding on this main issue, the proposed development would not have a harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers on Victoria Street, with regard to privacy. It would therefore comply with Policy BNE2 of the Medway Local Plan 2003 (Local Plan) and paragraph 130 f) of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework), which seek to protect the amenity of neighbouring occupiers, including having regard to privacy. Infrastructure provision 10. The appellant has entered into a signed and dated unilateral undertaking under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 on 6 September 2022, which includes obligations which would come into effect if planning permission were to be granted. I have considered the obligations in light of the three statutory tests at Regulation 122(2) of The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (as amended) and paragraph 57 of the Framework. These are that the obligations are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/A2280/W/22/3291633 11. The legal agreement includes a range of contributions: • £2,389.94 to improve equipment and facilities at Gillingham Library; • £7,500 towards development of sustainable transport infrastructure; • £2,504.32 for provision, improvement and promotion of waste and recycling services; • £2,695 towards public realm improvements to Gillingham town centre; • £35,078.08 towards enhancement of open space facilities, including outdoor sports provision; • £1,846.22 towards enhancement of open space at Great Lines Heritage Park; and • £9,151.24 towards additional capacity in Primary Care premises. 12. Monitoring of the planning obligations is also necessary to ensure that they are spent appropriately and delivered. All of the aforementioned contributions, including meeting the Council’s legal costs, meet the three tests and provide necessary mitigation to address the impact of development. 13. The site lies within 6km of the Thames, Medway and Swale Estuary and Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites (collectively known as North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites).

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision The SPA/Ramsar sites are protected as Sites of Nature Conservation Importance and are subject to statutory protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (the Habitats Regulations). All three of the North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites are classified for their waders and waterfowl. The bird interest features for which each site has been classified vary slightly across the three sites, but all three sites provide passage, overwintering, and breeding habitat for species of European Importance. 14. As confirmed by a judgment1 in the Court of Justice of the European Union, the decision-maker is required, when considering the effect that a proposal might have on a European Site, to consider avoidance and reduction measures through an appropriate assessment rather than at the screening stage. 15. The Thames, Medway and Swale Estuaries Strategic Access Management and Monitoring Strategy (SAMMS) (2014) identifies that there have been marked declines of key bird species, particularly on the Medway Estuary. Disturbance is one potential factor, and studies have shown recreational activities to cause disturbance impacts to birds.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Within the Medway, the area with most marked declines is north of Gillingham, including the area around Riverside Country Park. This is one of the busiest areas in terms of recreational pressure. 16. I consider that there remains a probability or risk that the proposed development, in combination with other plans or projects, could have a likely significant effect on the North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites, as it would be likely to exacerbate existing recreational pressures. I am therefore required to carry out an appropriate assessment. 1 People over Wind and Sweetman v Coillte Teoranta ECLI:EU:C:2018:244. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/A2280/W/22/3291633 17. It is necessary for me to consider whether any potential effects could be mitigated. The SAMMS sets out a strategy to address disturbance issues to wintering birds on the North Kent Marshes. This SAMMS and its underlying evidence base has been produced by the North Kent local planning authorities working with Natural England. In accordance with the findings of the SAMMS, strategic mitigation measures are being delivered through Bird Wise, a partnership of local authorities and conservation organisations in North Kent. 18. The legal agreement commits the appellant to provision of £3,553.62 to mitigate against the impact of development on the North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites. I consider that the mitigation measures would avoid the proposed development having a likely significant effect on the North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites. This would therefore also meet the three tests. 19. In conclusion, the proposed development would make appropriate provision for infrastructure needs arising from the development, with particular regard to the effect of the development on the North Kent Marshes SPA/Ramsar sites.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Accordingly, it would comply with Local Plan Policies S6, BNE2, BNE35, and L4, paragraphs 86, 92, 93, 104, 105, 180 and 181 of the Framework, and the requirements of the Habitats Regulations. Policy S6 deals with planning obligations. Policy BNE2 and paragraphs 104 and 105 of the Framework cover traffic generation and growth, while Policy L4 addresses provision of open space. Policy BNE35 and paragraphs 180 and 181 of the Framework deal with sites of nature conservation importance. Paragraphs 86, 92 and 93 aim to ensure vitality of town centres, and promote healthy, inclusive and safe places with appropriate social and recreational facilities. I have not addressed paragraph 130 f) of the Framework as it does not appear to be relevant. Other Matters 20. While I am aware that the Council cannot demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing land, it has not been necessary for me to consider this matter in more detail as I am allowing this appeal. Concerns have been raised about any potential effects on a neighbouring property on King Street during construction. Such matters would be addressed by the Construction Environmental Management Plan, which is dealt with by condition. Conditions 21.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision It is necessary to specify conditions confirming the time limit for development (1) and approved plans (2) to ensure certainty. Four pre-commencement conditions (3, 4, 5, and 6) are necessary as they should be addressed before construction works begin. The condition for a Construction Environmental Management Plan (3) is necessary to safeguard the living conditions of local residents. Conditions on contamination management (4, 5 and 17) are necessary to avoid any detrimental impacts on the environment or human health. I have amended the contamination and surface water conditions for clarity and succinctness. A further pre-commencement condition (6) deals with surface water drainage during and after construction and ensures that any flood risk is mitigated. 22. Conditions on materials, hard and soft landscaping and boundary treatments (7 and 8) are necessary to ensure that the development maintains local character and appearance and the living conditions of residents. I have merged the conditions on boundary treatments, landscape management plan provision and https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/A2280/W/22/3291633 hard and soft landscaping to reduce conditions. A condition on lighting (15) is necessary to avoid harm to adjoining residents’ living conditions. 23. Given the town centre location, acoustic assessment (9) is necessary to ensure any necessary acoustic protection is provided. This would be necessary to ensure reasonable living conditions for future residents. Conditions on cycle storage, laying out of parking spaces, electric vehicle charging, and parking management (10, 11, 12 and 13) are necessary in the interests of sustainable travel and highway safety, while a refuse storage condition (14) is also necessary in the interests of visual amenity and highway safety. 24. A condition (16) to ensure compliance with the submitted Energy Strategy Statement is necessary to provide sustainable development. Two conditions (18 and 19) removing permitted development rights for housing in multiple occupation and extensions are necessary to avoid harm to future and neighbouring residents’ living conditions. I have not included a condition on obscure glazing and opening of first floor windows as I consider this to be unnecessary in light of my findings on the first main issue.

Chandler Forest Products Ltd, 82 Jeffery Street, GILLINGHAM, ME7 1DB — Medway Council — Appeal Decision It would also affect the living conditions of future occupiers of the relevant unit. Conclusion 25. For the reasons set out above, and having had regard to the development plan as a whole, the Framework, and all other material considerations, the appeal is allowed.
