Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 2 May 2023 by Ian Radcliffe BSc(Hons) MRTPI MCIEH DMS an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 10th July 2023 Appeal Ref: APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton in Lindsey, Gainsborough DN21 4EL • 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 Ben Bailey Homes Ltd against the decision of North Lincolnshire Council. • The application Ref PA/2022/1408, dated 29 July 2022, was refused by notice dated 3 November 2022. • The development proposed is residential development up to 28 dwellings (with means of access to, but not within the site to be considered - all other matters reserved). Decision 1.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for residential development up to 28 dwellings (with means of access to, but not within the site to be considered - all other matters reserved) on land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton in Lindsey, Gainsborough DN21 4EL in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref PA/2022/1408, dated 29 July 2022, subject to the conditions in the schedule at the end of this decision. Preliminary Matters 2. The application was submitted in outline with only access to the site to be determined at this stage. The illustrative plan that has been submitted as part of the application has been taken into account as far as it is relevant to my consideration of the principle of the development on the appeal site. 3. A new North Lincolnshire Local Plan was submitted for examination in November 2022. Given that it is in the early stages of being examined, the position of the local planning authority, uncontested by the appellant, is that only limited weight can be given to the plan and its policies. I agree with that assessment. 4. Following the site visit, a section 106 agreement was submitted on 25 May 2023. I have considered its terms as part of this appeal.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 Reasons 6. Paragraph 74 of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘the Framework’) advises that Local Planning Authorities should have a minimum of five years housing land supply. It is common ground between the local planning authority and the appellant that less than a five year housing supply exists. No figures for the housing land supply have been given by the local planning authority. 7. On the basis of an appeal decision in North Lincolnshire from last summer provided by the appellant, the content of which has not been contested by the local planning authority, a housing land supply of between 3.2 years and 4.8 years exists. As a consequence, relevant policies for the supply of housing are considered not to be up to date. Location of the proposed development 8. The development plan for the area includes the saved policies of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan (‘Local Plan’) adopted in 2003 and the North Lincolnshire Local Development Framework Core Strategy (‘Core Strategy’) adopted in 2011.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision In order to further sustainability objectives and protect the countryside, policy CS2 of the Core Strategy focuses new housing development in order of preference on Scunthorpe, Market Towns and rural settlements. 9. Kirton in Lindsey is classified as a Market Town where policies CS2 and CS8 of the Core Strategy supports new residential development within the defined settlement limits of the settlement. Appropriate small scale greenfield extensions to meet identifiable local needs are also supported. 10. The majority of the appeal site lies outside the defined settlement boundary for Kirton in Lindsey. As a consequence, for planning policy purposes most of the site lies within the open countryside where new development is strictly controlled by saved policy RD2 of the Local Plan. It is no part of the appellant’s case that the proposal accords with the types of development supported by the development plan within the open countryside. The location of the proposed new houses would therefore be contrary to policies CS2 and CS8 of the Core Strategy and saved policy RD2 of the Local Plan. Character and appearance 11.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Paragraph 174 of the Framework advises that the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside should be recognised in decision taking. 12. The appeal site has a total area of 1.3 hectares and consists of open hedged fields of pasture not currently in productive use and part of Southdown House’s rear lawn. It is located on the southern edge of the village and gently slopes downwards away from it. Partly enclosed by housing on two sides, it occupies a zone of transition between built development associated with the village and fields in active arable use that characterise most of the countryside around it. As the site is visible in medium distance public views on the approach to Kirton in Lindsey along Gainsborough Road and Grayingham Road from the south, and in private views from the dwellings that face the site, the proposal would result in the visible loss of countryside to development. 13. The proposal would result in the development of a larger area of countryside than in an earlier application that was dismissed on appeal for 12 houses on part of the appeal site1. Given the partial enclosure of the appeal site by 1 Ref APP/Y2003/W/20/3255387 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 existing development, the resulting adverse effect that urbanisation in the current appeal would have on landscape character would be limited. The resulting harm, although small, would be contrary to policy LC7 of the Local Plan, which requires that new development conserves and where possible enhances landscape character. 14. With the control though that exists at reserved matters stage in relation to scale, layout, appearance and landscaping, I have no doubt that a well- designed housing development which protects the perimeter hedgerows with occasional trees, and which complements the form of the settlement could be achieved. As a result, the proposal would comply with saved policies H5, DS1 and LC12 of the Local Plan and policy CS5 of the Core Strategy which, amongst other matters, require good design and the protection of trees and hedgerows. Other Matters Access 15. In terms of the site access, the highway authority and Council have no objection to the proposal on highway safety or capacity grounds, subject to the use of conditions in relation to highway safety. I have no reason to disagree with those conclusions. Flood risk and drainage 16.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision The appeal site is located in Flood Zone 1 which means that it is at low risk of flooding. In terms of local and national policy in relation to flooding, it is therefore suitable in principle for residential development. With regard to foul drainage, no objections have been raised by the statutory undertaker regarding the capacity of infrastructure to accommodate the development and a scheme to limit surface water run-off could be required by condition. As a result, I find that, subject to such a condition, satisfactory drainage would be provided to the site. Living conditions 17. Houses neighbour the appeal site to the east and north. Based upon the illustrative plans, with the control that exists in relation to reserved matters, there would be sufficient space within the site for dwellings to be laid out without harming the living conditions of neighbouring residents by way of overlooking or overshadowing. Biodiversity 18. The appeal proposal would result in the loss of much of the appeal site to development. However, with the control that exists at reserved matters stage the perimeter hedgerow and trees could be retained.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision This consideration, together with the requirement of policy CS17 of the Core Strategy for development to protect and enhance biodiversity, would mean that biodiversity on the site would not be harmed. Public transport 19. The Parish Council state that the settlement has a very limited train service. This is a position that has not been contested by the appellant. However, it is still served by bus services. As a result, and with the wide range of services and facilities as a Market Town it has to offer, it remains a suitable settlement for residential development of the scale proposed. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 Prematurity 20. The proposed development would not be sufficiently large to undermine the plan making process by predetermining decisions about the scale or location of new development central to the emerging Local Plan. As a result, having regard to paragraph 49 of the Framework, I find that the proposed development would not be premature. Local Infrastructure and services 21. The submitted section 106 agreement has been properly completed. I have assessed it having regard to the requirements of Regulation 122 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) and the tests in paragraph 57 of the Framework. The agreement secures the on-site provision of affordable housing and informal public open space. It also secures contributions towards the off-site provision of education, recreation and healthcare. 22. In relation to affordable housing, in order to comply with policy CS9 of the Core Strategy and the accompanying Affordable Housing supplementary planning document (SPD) so that the need for affordable housing in the area of the local planning authority is addressed, 20% of the housing to be built on the site would need to be affordable. 23.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Turning to recreation, given the extent of local provision, in accordance with policy CS23 of the Core Strategy financial contributions are needed to mitigate the impact of the proposed development. Contributions are needed to help to provide a new artificial pitch, to improve existing natural turf pitches at Klassic Park, Kirton and to provide additional sports equipment. In relation to play areas, policy R2 of the Local Plan and supplementary planning guidance 10 (SPG) requires the provision of a Local Area of Play (LAP) for the development. With no LAP proposed on site a contribution is therefore required towards the improvement of existing play areas in the village. For the health and well-being of future residents, policy H10 of the Local Plan and the SPG require the provision of on-site informal recreational open space in new development. 24. Future residents of the proposed development will increase the demand on schools. The local education authority calculates that the secondary school system has the capacity to accommodate the demand created but that the local primary school would not. As a result, a contribution is needed. 25.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision With regard to healthcare, the evidence on behalf of NHS North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group is that the existing Kirton Lindsey Practice is not large enough and that the additional future residents of the proposed development would add to the pressure on that practice. Consequently, the surgery needs to be extended and reconfigured. 26. Financial contributions are therefore necessary in relation to recreation, education and health to make the development acceptable in planning terms. 27. Based upon the approach laid out in the development plan policies, SPG and calculators that I have been referred to, and the information provided, I am satisfied that the sums and provision sought are fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the proposed development. As provision would either be made on site, or locally, what would be provided would also be directly related to the proposal. Accordingly, these contributions pass the relevant tests and requirements. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 Overall conclusions: The planning balance 28. For the reasons I have set out earlier, the proposal would be in conflict with policies CS2, CS8 and LC7 of the Core Strategy and saved policy RD2 of the Local Plan. These policies seek to focus new development within the largest settlements in North Lincolnshire in order to further sustainability objectives, protect the countryside, and landscape character. 29. Applications for planning permission are determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The Framework is an important material consideration and contains a presumption in favour of sustainable development. 30. The Council does not have a 5 year housing land supply. As a consequence, paragraph 11d of the Framework directs that development plan policies relevant to housing land supply should not be considered up to date. 31. Policies of the development plan are consistent with the Framework in that they seek to focus development on the largest settlements and protect the countryside and landscape.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision However, the appeal site is of only limited landscape value, and I have found that the harm that would be caused by the proposal to the character and appearance of the landscape and countryside would be small. Moreover, the housing land supply is materially below five years. 32. Taking all these matters into account, I therefore attach limited weight to the policy conflict between the proposed scheme and the development plan. 33. In circumstances where relevant policies are out of date, the so-called ‘tilted balance’ in paragraph 11 of the Framework applies. It states that in such circumstances planning 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 as a whole. 34. The policies of the Framework as a whole constitute the Government’s view of what sustainable development means in practice. There are three dimensions to sustainable development: environmental, economic and social. 35. Socially, the proposed development would contribute to helping address the shortage of housing in North Lincolnshire.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision I attach significant positive weight to the social benefits that up to 28 dwellings would provide with 20% of the units being affordable housing. 36. Environmentally, the proposed development would cause a small degree of harm to landscape character and would result in the loss of what is stated by the Parish Council to be good to moderate agricultural land to development. However, the proposed development would complement the form of the village and the character and appearance of built development within it. In addition, the settlement has a range of services and facilities accessible from the appeal site to meet many of the day to day needs of its residents together with accessible public transport links. The development would also be required to enhance biodiversity on the site. Environmentally therefore I attach modest weight to both the adverse impacts and benefits of the proposal. 37. Economically, the amount of agricultural land that would be developed would be limited. The development would generate construction employment and the additional households would increase the spending power of the local https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y2003/W/22/3312723 community to the benefit of businesses and services in the area. I attach modest weight to the economic adverse effects and benefits of the scheme. 38. My overall conclusion in this case, having considered all the matters raised, is that the adverse impacts of the proposal are insufficient to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme when assessed against the policies of the Framework. Consequently, the proposal would represent sustainable development as defined in the Framework, and material considerations indicate that planning permission should be granted for development that is not in accordance with the development plan. I therefore conclude that the appeal should be allowed. Conditions 39. In the interests of certainty, I have imposed a condition specifying the relevant plans that the development is to be carried out in accordance with. Given that the site potentially contains archaeologically significant remains a mitigation strategy is necessary.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision To give the local planning authority oversight of the investigative work and ensure the site investigation and post investigation assessment are completed and the results deposited at the North Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record control needs to be applied. In the interests of protecting health any contaminated land that is encountered needs to be dealt with. 40. To protect the living conditions of neighbours from noise, light and particulates, work needs to be carried out in accordance with an agreed construction method statement and working hours on the site need to be controlled. In the interests of highway safety, required visibility splays at the site access and a construction phase traffic management plan need to be provided and further details on parking spaces, footway connections and the access road are needed. For the same reason, control needs to be exerted over the following matters: timing of occupation; service strips next to any shared services; the provision of parking, surfacing and access to individual properties. 41. As a large development a sustainable drainage scheme is required to comply with government guidance.

Land to the rear of Southdown House, Grayingham Road, Kirton Lindsey, GAINSBOROUGH, DN21 4EL — North Lincolnshire Council — Appeal Decision To protect wildlife and enhance biodiversity a scheme for ecological further details, including a biodiversity management plan is necessary. 42. I have required all these matters by condition, revising the conditions suggested by the Council where necessary to reflect the advice contained within Planning Practice Guidance. 43. Two conditions have been suggested in relation to preventing surface water run-off from hard paved areas within the site onto the highway and from the highway onto the developed site. In my judgement, they are unnecessary given the conditions relating to the proposed access road and sustainable drainage. As a result, I have not attached them.
