Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 7 February 2023 by Laura Cuthbert BA(Hons) MSc MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 21 March 2023 Appeal Ref: APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley RG19 8JY • 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 Mepham of the Maxlee Group against the decision of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. • The application Ref 21/01088/FUL, dated 29 April 2021, was refused by notice dated 13 May 2022. • The development proposed is the construction of two detached dwellings and garages, the formation of a new access and landscaping. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed, and planning permission is granted for the construction of two detached dwellings and garages, the formation of a new access and landscaping at Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley RG19 8JY in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 21/01088/FUL, dated 29 April 2021, subject to the conditions set out in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The appellant’s appeal statement makes a brief reference to an application for costs against the Council in relation to their determination of the appeal, stating that this would be provided under a separate letter. However, no separate letter for an application for costs has been submitted. The appellant’s appeal form also confirms that no costs application has been made with this appeal. I have therefore determined the appeal on this basis. 3. Both parties have provided me with an electronic link to watch the relevant Development Control Committee meeting at which the appeal application was discussed. I have not watched this as I cannot be sure that all relevant interested parties have access to the facilities to watch it. It also does not bear directly on the planning merits of the case and therefore does not materially affect my judgement in the appeal. Main Issues 4. The main issues are the effect of the proposed development on: • the character and appearance of the area; and • highway safety, with specific regard to the impact of additional vehicular movements. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 Reasons Character and Appearance 5. The appeal site consists of an existing detached house situated along Newbury Road, known as Larkspur House, in the village of Headley. It sits within a large L shaped garden which extends to the rear. An existing detached outbuilding lies within the rear garden, which sits parallel to the shared boundary with Beech House, the neighbouring property to the southeast. There is also a smaller shed situated in the eastern corner. A 2m close boarded fence encloses the majority of the site, with an established hedgerow along the north-east of the site. Larkspur House is served by a single vehicular access from Newbury Road and there is a large area of gravelled hardstanding covering the front garden of the existing dwelling, which provides parking for Larkspur House. 6. The junction with Ashford Hill Road is situated nearby. On my site visit, I did not read Newbury Road as having a more village character than Ashford Hill Road. In fact, there is a similarity between the character of Newbury Road and Ashford Hill Road by virtue of there being housing on one site of the road and trees/woodland on the other.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Whilst the surrounding development is predominately linear, this is not a defining part of the character of the area. There are examples of other cul-de-sacs and backland development which form part of the variation in the built form of the surrounding area. Notably, there are some backland dwellings situated to the west of the appeal site, set back from Ashford Hill Road. 7. Whilst open countryside lies beyond the appeal site, the proposal would be built within the rear garden of Larkspur House. The proposal would be read alongside the existing backland development along Ashford Hill Road. Within this immediate context, the proposal would form part of the existing built-up area of Headley. The proposal would not appear as incongruous and would not harm the surrounding landscape character. 8. The hardstanding, built form and access, including the corresponding number of parked vehicles, would all be proportionate and similar to the other cul-de- sac and backland developments in the area. Furthermore, a number of parked cars are already able to park to the front of Larkspur House. Therefore, given the existing variation in the area, it would not result in the urbanisation of the site.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision It would simply introduce a similar form of development which already exists, and it would not be incongruous to the landscape character and appearance of the area. 9. The proposal would move the existing vehicular access to the south-eastern boundary. The frontage of the proposed site would look similar to the existing, with a single access point from Newbury Road. The only difference would be that the new access would serve the proposed dwellings, as well as the retained Larkspur House, which would be a similar arrangement to other backland developments in the area. 10. Consequently, the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area. It would be in accordance with Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Dean Local Plan (2011-2029) (Local Plan) (adopted May 2016). These policies, in combination, require development proposals to be sympathetic to the character and visual quality of the area concerned and to have due regard to the density, scale, layout and appearance of the https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 surrounding area and the relationship to neighbouring buildings and landscape features. Development proposals must also pay particular regard to the visual amenity and scenic quality of an area and the setting of a settlement, including important views to, across, within and out of settlements. 11. The proposal would also be in accordance with the principles within Chapter 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 (the Framework) in regard to the conservation and enhancement of the natural environment. 12. The Council’s reason for refusal also cites the ‘Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document’ (the SPD) (December 2018). However, I have not been directed towards any section of the SPD that the development would conflict with. I have concluded that the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area. Therefore, it is considered that the development would be in accordance with the overriding objectives of the SPD, which includes the protection of the Borough’s landscapes. 13. The Council’s appeal statement also references the Ashford Hill with Headley Neighbourhood Plan (October 2022).

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision It cites Landscape Policy L1 of the Neighbourhood Plan which requires that proposals respect, enhance and are sympathetic to the landscape character and visual amenity of the Parish. For the reasons set out above, the development would respect the landscape character and visual amenity of the area and would therefore be in accordance with Landscape Policy L1. Highway Safety 14. Newbury Road is also known as the A339, which has a speed limit of 40mph. This section of the A339 is relatively straight, with good visibility and there are a number of existing vehicular access points serving the nearby neighbouring dwellings that run off Newbury Road. 15. The Council’s appeal statement confirms that their concerns are in relation to the highway safety impact of the additional two dwellings along the A339. In particular, the increase in the number of movements, the proximity of other accesses and the 40mph speed limit along this stretch of road, which they allege is frequently exceeded. Concerns were also raised with regard to visibility due to the blind crests in the road and statements were made that the area is a hotspot for accidents. 16.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Whilst it is noted that there is no definition of ‘severe’ as cited in paragraph 111 of the Framework, I place significant weight on the expert views of the Highway Authority (HA). I note that after confirmation that the required visibility splays could be achieved, the HA raised no objection to the proposal. There is little technical evidence before me which would suggest that additional vehicular movements associated with the proposal would exacerbate any existing highway safety issues. Notably, I have not been provided with any accident data that demonstrates that there are currently highway safety issues with either the A339 itself or with any junctions nearby. 17. Given that the proposal would achieve the required visibility splays, intervisibility between the existing accesses, the proposed access, and road users along the A339 would be satisfactory, allowing drivers and pedestrians plenty of time to respond accordingly. The proposal would not result in a significant increase for the potential for conflict between road users. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 18. Therefore, for the reasons set out above, the proposal would not harm highway safety, with specific regard to the impact of additional vehicular movements. The development would be in accordance with Policies CN9 and EM10 of the Local Plan. These policies, in combination, require development proposals to contribute to the provision of neighbourhoods that are safe and function well in practical terms, and to permit development proposal that do not result in inappropriate traffic generation or compromise highway safety. Development proposals will also be permitted where they would not have a severe impact on the operation, safety or accessibility to the local highway network. Other Matters 19. Local residents have expressed a wide range of concerns including the impact on trees, the overlooking of neighbouring properties, loss of wildlife habitat and biodiversity. However, having considered the technical evidence before me and the views of the relevant statutory consultees and that of the Council, I consider that these matters can be controlled and maintained by appropriately worded conditions. 20.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The concerns of existing occupiers of the neighbouring properties with regards to property values is a purely private interest and would not be a consideration which I could give any weight to. 21. I note that there was an earlier appeal decision on the site in 2000, for a chalet style bungalow, which was dismissed. However, from the limited details before me, this was dismissed on the harm to the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). However, the Council confirms that the site is not in fact within the AONB. Therefore, I can only give this previous decision limited weight in my decision. Planning Balance 22. Paragraph 11 of the Framework states that where there are no relevant development plan policies, or the policies which are most important for determining the application are out of date, 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 whole or specific policies in the Framework indicate development should be restricted.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Footnote 8 of paragraph 11 confirms that this includes, for applications involving the provision of housing, situations where the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites. 23. The main parties agree that the Council is not able to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites. The proposal would make a modest contribution of one dwelling to the supply of housing. I have given this significant weight which I take forward to the overall planning balance below. 24. There would be economic investment from both its construction and subsequent occupation. With regard to the environmental benefits, the proposal would achieve a degree of sustainability through compliance with Council supported energy efficiency and Building Regulations standards. These benefits are tempered by the small amount of development, but nevertheless carry modest weight in favour of the development. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 25. I have also found no conflict with the development plan in terms of the character and appearance of the area and highway safety. Consequently, in the context of paragraph 11 of the Framework, there are no adverse impacts of the development that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits. Therefore, the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies. Conditions 26. The Council have suggested 20 conditions. I have assessed these in light of the advice provided in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and have amended them as necessary. 27. A condition setting a time limit for commencement of the development is required by statute. It is appropriate that there is a condition requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the approved plans for certainty. 28. Conditions regarding the types and colours of external materials and a scheme of hard and soft landscaping to both be submitted and approved by the local planning authority are considered reasonable and necessary to safeguard the character and appearance of the area. 29.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision In order to minimise disruption to surrounding residents, a condition to restrict the delivery of construction materials, or plant and machinery, and the removal of spoil from the site is considered both reasonable and necessary. I have amended it slightly for clarity purposes. For the same reason, a condition to restrict the hours of demolition and construction is also necessary. 30. Adherence to the Construction Method Statement and Construction Method Statement Site Plan submitted with the appeal is considered reasonable and necessary in the interests of highway safety and to protect the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties. 31. In the interests of highway safety, a condition is considered necessary to ensure that the means of access is provided on site and that the visibility splays remain free of structures and planting exceeding 1m high. For the same reasons, a condition to ensure that the existing redundant access is permanently closed, and the footway crossing removed is also considered necessary. I have consolidated the Council’s suggested conditions 9 and 18 to avoid repetition. 32.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision In order to encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transport, it is considered reasonable to ensure that the dwellings hereby approved have provision within their curtilage for secure cycle parking facilities. For the same reasons, it is also considered necessary to require further details regarding the provision of electric vehicle charging points, or details or parking areas which can be conveniently retrofitted at a later date. 33. To ensure that convenient arrangements are made for refuse and recycling storage and collection and to ensure that no obstruction is caused on the adjoining highway, suitable provision for refuse and recycling storage within the dwellings curtilages is considered reasonable. I have amended it slightly for clarity purposes. 34. To ensure that reasonable measures are taken to safeguard tree, a condition to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/22/3304902 arboricultural details submitted with the appeal is both reasonable and necessary. 35. In order to establish net gains for biodiversity over the lifetime of the development, it is necessary for a condition to be attached to ensure the development is carried out in accordance with the ‘Biodiversity Gain Plan’ details prepared by SoEcology. I have amended the condition for clarity purposes. 36. In order to mitigate impacts on protected species, a condition to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the submitted Biodiversity Survey and Report is considered necessary. I have amended it slightly for clarity purposes. 37. A condition to require details as to how the new dwelling shall meet a water efficiency standard of 110 litres or less per person per day is considered both reasonable and necessary in the interests of maximising resource efficiency, most notably water. I have again amended it slightly for clarity purposes. 38. The Council have suggested restriction on the occupation of garages to be ancillary to the residential use of the dwellings. However, the garages associated with the dwellings are single garages.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision They have a clear relationship with the dwellings, sharing the access, parking and garden. `The garages have not been presented to me as anything else other than a garage. If there is a material change of use in the future to create a separate dwelling, then a separate grant of planning permission would be required. Consequently, a condition restricting the garages to be ancillary to the dwellings is not considered reasonable or necessary. 39. A condition to ensure that the bathroom windows at first floor level of both dwellings, which would look towards the shared boundaries with neighbouring properties, are top-opening and glazed with obscured glass is considered both reasonable and necessary in order to protect the living conditions of the neighbouring properties. 40. A condition to ensure that the access and parking areas are consolidated and surfaced is considered necessary in the interests of highway safety.

Larkspur House, Newbury Road, Headley, THATCHAM, RG19 8JY — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision However, I have amended the condition slightly to require details of either the porous surface materials to be used or details of the provision of the direct run-off water to a permeable or porous area to be submitted and approved by the Council prior to the occupation of development to ensure run-off surface water is adequately dealt with, and in regard to highway safety. Conclusion 41. For the reasons set out above, the appeal should therefore be allowed.
