76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 21 November 2022 by Emma Worley BA (Hons) Dip EP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 28th June 2023 Appeal Ref: APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 Woodhayes, 76A The Avenue, Beckenham BR3 5ES • 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 Devonshire Developments Ltd against the decision of the London Borough of Bromley. • The application Ref 20/05047/FULL1, dated 22 December 2020, was refused by notice dated 8 April 2022. • The development proposed is described as the ‘Demolition of the existing dwellings (No.76A and 76B The Avenue), erection of a five storey building to provide 18 flats (comprising 10 - one bed and 8 - two bed), provision of 18 parking spaces with cycle and bin storage and hard and soft landscaping’. Decision 1.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the demolition of the existing dwellings (No.76A and 76B The Avenue), erection of a five storey building to provide 18 flats (comprising 10 - one bed and 8 - two bed), provision of 18 parking spaces with cycle and bin storage and hard and soft landscaping at Woodhayes, 76A The Avenue, Beckenham BR3 5ES in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 20/05047/FULL1, dated 22 December 2020, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2. The description of the development is taken from the appeal form as it more accurately describes the proposed development as amended and excludes development which is no longer part of the appeal proposal. 3. Whilst the address in the banner heading and on the planning application form is Woodhayes, 76A The Avenue, the appeal site includes both 76A and 76B The Avenue. Main Issues 4. The main issues are; • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 76C The Avenue (No 76C), having particular regard to light and outlook; and • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 Reasons Living conditions 5. The proposed building would be positioned a short distance from the side boundary of the appeal site which is shared with No 76C. Despite the lower ground level of the appeal site, the building would be considerably greater in scale and height than the adjoining dwelling at No 76C and would project beyond its rear elevation. 6. The Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Assessment by XCO2 for Devonshire Developments dated December 2020 submitted as part of the planning application indicates that there would not be a significant impact on surrounding properties arising from the proposed development and that the proposal would accord with relevant guidance. I note the Council’s concerns that, despite these findings, given that the proposal would compromise the 45 degree line in relation to the nearest rear windows at No 76C, it would nevertheless result in a reduction of daylight and sunlight and overshadowing to the neighbouring dwelling. 7.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Due to the siting and scale of the proposed building there will be parts of the day when the development would overshadow the neighbouring property at No 76C and would restrict sunlight reaching the windows, in particular those closest to the boundary, as well as the areas of outdoor space immediately to the rear of the property. However, given the orientation of the dwelling together with the extent of the garden space, any overshadowing would be time limited, with large areas of the rear garden being unaffected. Therefore, whilst there would be a reduction in sunlight to both the rear windows and areas of the garden compared to the existing, the proposal would not lead to an unacceptable loss of sunlight or overshadowing which would significantly harm the living conditions of the occupiers of the property. 8. No 76C benefits from a generous rear garden which slopes down towards the rear boundary of the property.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Given that the proposed building would extend along only a short section of the side boundary of the appeal site and the remainder of the shared boundary, along with the rear and the other side boundary to the garden at No 76C would remain open, the proposal would not lead to a sense of enclosure to the rear of the property. 9. The flank wall of the proposed building would be visible from the internal space at No 76C and the rear patio area and due to its bulk and proximity to the shared boundary, would appear as a somewhat imposing feature. Nonetheless, this is tempered by the open outlook that would remain available due to the amount of rear garden space together with its topography and lack of sense of enclosure. In light of these considerations, the proposal would not substantially diminish the outlook from the neighbouring property and would therefore maintain acceptable living conditions overall. 10.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision For the foregoing reasons I conclude that whilst the proposed development would give rise to limited adverse effects on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 76C through loss of sunlight and overshadowing, as well as outlook, the proposal would not ultimately result in a substandard or harmful living environment for this neighbour. Consequently, it would result in a degree of conflict with Policies 4 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan (the BLP), which among other things seek to ensure development is of a high standard and https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 respects the amenity of occupiers of neighbouring buildings and Policy D3 of the London Plan (the LP) in so far as it requires new development to deliver appropriate outlook. Character and appearance 11. The appeal site is located on The Avenue, a wide unadopted road which slopes downwards, decreasing in ground level from its junction with Downes Hill. The surrounding area is made up of a variety of residential properties including detached two storey properties, such as those currently occupying the appeal site and the adjoining two storey dwellings, as well as flatted developments in buildings of a much greater scale. The buildings are set a similar distance from the highway to the front of the plots allowing for mature landscaping, with parking either to the front or rear of the buildings, which creates a pleasant sense of uniformity and contributes to the open spacious character of the area. 12. Given the varied design and appearance of the residential development along The Avenue, the design of the proposed building would not be at odds with the prevailing character of the area.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision The height of the proposed building would exceed that of the 4 storey element of the adjoining building at Nightingale Court, which has a shallow pitched roof. It would also be significantly greater in height than the adjoining property at 74B The Avenue, although not dissimilar in height to the flatted development beyond which occupies a more elevated position. Nevertheless, relative to its immediate downhill neighbour, it would still appear to follow the general topography of the street. 13. The height of the 4 storey part of the proposed building is comparable to the ridge of Nightingale Court, with the fifth floor set in from the front and side elevations of the building. This arrangement would reduce the dominance of the higher part of the building, when viewed both in the context of the adjoining properties, and the street scene. It would also serve to reduce the overall scale and massing of the proposed development. Moreover, the height of the building would reflect the staggered building heights along the street and is sympathetic to the topography of the site. 14.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Whilst there are examples of access driveways between the buildings along The Avenue, the siting and size of the building is such that the gaps between it and the side boundaries would not be dissimilar to other developments in this part of The Avenue. Moreover, the proposed building would be set back a similar distance from the highway as the nearby residential development, allowing for landscaping to the frontage, along with parking and cycle and bin storage, which subject to sensitive design would not be to the detriment of the appearance of the site. In addition, the layout is such that a generous rear garden space would be retained to serve the development. 15. For the foregoing reasons, I conclude that the proposal would be consistent with the established pattern of the surrounding development and as such would not harm the character and appearance of the area. Accordingly, the proposal reflects the collective aims of Policies 4 and 37 of the BLP which seek high quality design, having regard to the character of the area. Planning obligation 16. A completed and signed S106 unilateral undertaking is submitted as part of the appeal.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision The terms set out in the agreement secure a financial contribution https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 towards offsetting the residual carbon dioxide emissions of the development and early and late stage viability review mechanisms with regards to the provision of affordable housing. I am satisfied that the obligation is necessary to make the development acceptable, is directly related to the development and is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. Therefore, it would accord with the three tests set out in paragraph 57 of the Framework and Regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010. I have taken it into account. Other Matters 17. My attention is drawn to a previous appeal on part of the site in 1990 which was dismissed and a subsequent planning application which was refused by the Council in 2018. However, these schemes differ from the appeal proposal in terms of scale and design and moreover, were determined in a different policy context. Therefore, from the evidence before me, they do not appear to be directly comparable, as such the weight to be attached to these is limited. 18. I acknowledge concerns regarding increased traffic, parking provision and accessibility of the site for emergency vehicles.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision However, given the level of on- site parking spaces and the proposed access arrangements, I am satisfied that the proposal would be acceptable in that regard. Furthermore, the Highway Authority has raised no objection to the proposal on highway safety grounds. 19. Whilst a small number of trees would be removed as part of the development the appeal submissions indicate that these would be of low quality. I note that the Council’s Tree Officer has not objected to the proposal subject to replacement planting to be secured as part of a landscaping scheme and a Tree Protection Plan and Arboricultural Method Statement, in order to ensure that the remaining trees would be adequately protected during construction works. 20. There is no substantive evidence that the proposal would lead to an increase in surface water flooding, details of an appropriate surface drainage strategy can be secured through a planning condition. Furthermore, Thames Water has raised no objection in relation to the capacity of the waste water and sewerage treatment infrastructure. 21.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision From the evidence before me I have no reason to conclude that the size or design of the residential units would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers. Whilst I note concern expressed by interested parties regarding the lack of provision of affordable units as part of the scheme, the Council is satisfied that the updated Affordable Housing Viability Statement demonstrates that the development would not be able to provide affordable housing. I have no reason to disagree with these findings and review mechanisms are included in the planning obligation should the situation change. 22. Whilst the construction process is likely to be disruptive it would be relatively short-term and any noise and other nuisance can be mitigated to some degree through a condition to secure a Construction Management Plan. As such, the inconvenience caused is of limited weight in my decision. 23. I note comments that some interested parties were not invited to participate in the pre-application consultation process, however, I have determined this https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 appeal on its individual planning merits and none of the other matters outweigh or overcome my conclusion on the main issues. Housing land supply and planning balance 24. The parties agree that the Council is not able to demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites. In this scenario, paragraph 11 of the Framework indicates that permission should be granted unless 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. In terms of housing supply, a net gain of 16 residential unts would contribute towards the supply of housing in the area on a previously developed site in an existing built-up area. Specifically, the proposal would address the need for smaller 1 and 2 bedroom units identified in the SHMA. The proposal would reflect the aims of Policies H2 and D3 of the LP which support well-designed new homes on small sites and require new development to make the best use of land by following a design-led approach that optimises the capacity of sites. It would also generate economic benefits during the construction phase.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision These are all factors which carry significant weight in the schemes favour. 26. When considering all of the relevant factors together, whilst I have found that the proposal would give rise to limited harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of No 76C, compared to the existing situation, overall harmful living conditions would not result. Therefore, the adverse impacts of granting permission in this instance would not be so great as to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. The proposal therefore benefits from the presumption in favour of sustainable development outlined at Framework paragraph 11. 27. I have found some minor conflict with the development plan in respect of living conditions. However, for the above reasons, the harm resulting from this would be very limited. Conversely, the Framework, as Government policy is a very weighty material consideration, and in this case indicates that a decision should be taken otherwise than in accordance with the development plan. Conditions 28.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision The conditions set out in the accompanying schedule are based on those suggested by the Council in their appeal statement should the appeal be allowed. Where I agree the conditions are necessary, I have amended the wording, in the interests of precision and clarity, and in order to comply with advice in the Planning Practice Guidance. In addition to the standard condition relating to the commencement of development, it is necessary to specify the approved plans to provide certainty. 29. The Council has suggested a condition to require any necessary repair works to be carried out to the highway (The Avenue) upon the completion of the construction works. Whilst I acknowledge the appellant has no objection in principle to the condition, as the road is unadopted the appellant’s ability for construction access and any conditions which may be imposed would be a private matter between the interested parties. Therefore, as it may not be possible for the appellant to carry out any remedial works, the condition would be unreasonable and for these reasons it is not imposed. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 30. A condition is required to secure the provision of a Construction and Environmental Management Plan, both in the interests of living conditions of nearby residential properties and highway safety. The suggested part f) implying that various other, unknown, matters could be requested is omitted as it not precise and therefore fails the tests. In the interest of amenity and human health a condition is also necessary to ensure the construction of the development is carried out in accordance with the measures set out in the submitted Air Quality Assessment Report Ref:AQ1872 dated October 2020. 31. A condition is imposed to ensure surface water generated from the proposal is disposed of appropriately. The finished AOD levels are shown on the submitted plans, as such a separate condition requiring these details is not necessary. To ensure the proposal protects the natural and visual qualities of the site, a condition is imposed that requires tree protection measures. A condition is required to ensure any piling to be carried out on the site is done so in accordance with a piling impact method statement in order to avoid damage to subsurface sewerage infrastructure. 32.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Whilst the siting of the cycle parking and refuse storage areas are shown on the submitted drawings, a condition is necessary to secure detailed design of these facilities. Conditions are also required to secure details of soft landscaping, the public square, play equipment, lighting and external materials, to ensure a satisfactory appearance to the development. The Council has suggested a condition to secure details of the green roof for reasons of visual amenity. However, given the height of the building and likely visibility of the roof, it has not been shown why the condition is necessary to achieve these aims. 33. In order to ensure the development is accessible, a condition is required to secure compliance with Building Regulations standards. Given that the development comprises solely residential use it has not been demonstrated that a details of sound insulation within the building is necessary. 34. To ensure there are suitable arrangements for car parking a condition is necessary to require a car park management plan. To minimise air pollution, I attach conditions to secure the provision of electric vehicle charging points and machinery to be used during construction.

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Conditions are necessary to agree appropriate measures to minimise the risk of crime, in accordance with Policies 4 and 37 of the BLP and the provision of biodiversity enhancement measures in accordance with BLP Policy 79. 35. A condition is necessary to secure details of privacy screens to be installed on the proposed balconies in the interest of the character and appearance of the area and to prevent any overlooking of the neighbouring residential properties. While the Council did not raise any objection to the side windows, their proximity to the side boundaries and potential for views to neighbouring properties could lead to a loss of privacy. Therefore, a condition is required to ensure that they are obscure glazed. 36. The Council’s suggested condition requiring the submission of parking and turning arrangements is not necessary as these are shown on the submitted Proposed Site Plan dwg no. 100.03 R4, however I have imposed a condition to secure the provision of these facilities prior to the first occupation of the development in the interests of highway safety. As the general arrangement plan dwg no. 301A, hard landscape plan dwg no. 501A and soft landscape plan https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 6

76A and 76B The Avenue, BECKENHAM, BR3 5ES — London Borough of Bromley — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/G5180/W/22/3300174 dwg no. 701A show a parking layout that deviates from that shown on the Proposed Site Plan, and further details pertaining to these matters are required as part of separate conditions, these are not included in condition 2 which lists the approved drawings. 37. In the interest of fire safety, a condition is required to ensure compliance with the submitted Fire Strategy. 38. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal dated September 2020 (PEA), together with a number of subsequent bat emergence surveys conclude that the proposal would not have an adverse effect on biodiversity or protected species including bats, subject to appropriate mitigation measures. A condition to secure the development is carried out in accordance with the PEA and Update Bat Survey Results (Report Number: 13507_R01b_ZD_MM) is therefore necessary. Conclusion 39. For the reasons set out above, the appeal is allowed.
