Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 20 December 2023 by Lewis Condé Msc, Bsc, MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 25 January 2024 Appeal Ref: APP/H1840/W/23/3319030 Lenches Self Storage, Badgers Hill to Handgate Lane, Sheriffs Lench WR11 4SD • 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 N Webb, Lenches Self Storage, against the decision of Wychavon District Council. • The application Ref W/22/00436/FUL, dated 18 February 2022, was refused by notice dated 15 December 2022. • The development proposed is Removal of the existing two bedroom static home and former commercial building and replacement with a Live/Work unit. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the removal of the existing two bedroom static home and former commercial building and replacement with a live/work unit at Lenches Self Storage, Badgers Hill to Handgate Lane, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 22/00436/FUL, dated 18 February 2022, and subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision A revised version of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) was issued on 19 December 2023. Both main parties were offered the opportunity to comment on the implication of the changes to national policy on the appeal proposal. Where received, comments have been taken into account. Main Issue 3. The main issue is whether the appeal proposal would be in a suitable location, with regard to the Council’s development strategy, and in particular respect to its accessibility to services and facilities. Reasons 4. The appeal site is in a rural location a considerable distance from the nearest defined development boundary. For planning policy purposes, it is therefore within the open countryside. 5. Policy SWDP 2 of the South Worcester Development Plan (adopted 2016) (the SWDP) establishes the strategy for new development in the area. Criterion C of the policy outlines that permission for development in the countryside, will be strictly controlled and limited to certain exceptions, including development specifically permitted by other SWDP policies. This is due to sites beyond development boundaries generally being less sustainable given that they tend https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1840/W/23/3319030 to have poor access to local services and facilities. However, the wording of Policy SWDP 2 and its supporting text make clear that some development is expected to take place outside of urban areas and in rural locations. 6. Policy SWDP 8 seeks to support proposals for economic growth across the plan area and is one of the exception policies expressly identified under SWDP 2, whereby development in the open countryside can be permitted. 7. Criterion G of SWDP 8 relates specifically to development for live/work accommodation and states that such proposals will be permitted provided that they meet several stated criteria. The criteria primarily relate to the size and composition of the live/work accommodation, albeit also encompass issues such as its use, availability of infrastructure, and where viable the provision of affordable housing. 8. It is disputed whether the proposal meets criteria SWDP 8 G vii), namely, “The proposed use does not involve the sale of goods to visiting members of the public or fall within the A3, A4, A5, B2, C1, or C2 use classes”. 9.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Whilst the proposal may result in multiple members of the public accessing the site, it does not fall within any of the excluded use classes listed under the policy criteria G vii1. Additionally, given that the business element of the proposal is for self-storage facilities I do not consider that it involves the sales of goods to visiting members of the public, but instead comprises the offering of a service for use at the site. Therefore, I find the proposal does not conflict with criteria G vii. 10. The Council has not raised issue with regards to other criteria of SWDP 8G). It has though questioned the requirement for a live-work unit at the site. It is noted that there is an existing mobile home on the appeal site. There is also an existing residential dwelling on the wider site2, that is occupied by a member of the appellant’s family who is currently involved in the day-to-day operating of the existing business. The appellant, however, has put forward a business case based upon expansion and succession planning for the business, whilst I am mindful that Policy SWDP 8 does not specifically require justification of the business proposals or need for the development.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Consequently, I am satisfied that the appeal scheme accords with Policy SWDP 8 and thereby also accords with Policy SWDP2. 11. Despite the above, Policy SWDP 4, amongst other matters, also requires that proposals must demonstrate that the development will minimise the demand for travel and that they offer genuinely sustainable travel choices. 12. The appeal site is not well located to a range of facilities or services to support day-to-day living, nor public transport options. Given the locational context of the appeal site, both residents and customers of the proposed development would be highly dependent on the use of the private car. This is the least sustainable means of transport and consequently, the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policy SWDP4. 1 Nor as updated following the coming into force of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2020, and further amendments to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. 2 Albeit outside the appeal site’s redline boundary https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1840/W/23/3319030 13. It remains that the appeal proposal may breach a particular development plan policy, but does not necessarily fail to accord with the development plan as a whole. On the face of it, there is a degree of tension between Policies SWDP 4 and SWDP 8. Fundamentally, SWDP 8 is one of the specific policy exceptions to the overall development strategy, and it offers recognition that live/work units provide employment opportunities and small businesses in rural areas. Indeed, I consider that through allowing an exception for development in the countryside, there is an implicit acknowledgement that development under SWDP 8 may need to take place where access to facilities and services will be limited. Accordingly, there is a balance to be struck between what is considered as acceptable sustainable rural development, such as live-work units, whilst maximising the available sustainable travel opportunities. 14. I am mindful that a self-storage business already exists in this location and the proposal would enable its continued operations and expansion. This would lead to intensification of the use and associated increases in vehicle movements.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision However, I consider it unlikely that customers would access self-storage facilities via public transport, or on foot, regardless of whether such options were available. This is due to the likelihood that they will be storing or collecting several items including potentially bulky equipment. I also accept that there is likely to still be demand for such facilities from residents in rural and semi-rural locations. As such, even if the proposal were to be positioned in a more sustainable location with regards to access to facilities and services, I am unconvinced that this would significantly reduce the number of private vehicle movements. 15. I accept that occupants of the residential element of the scheme will also still be required to make vehicle trips to various facilities and services. The proposal would, however, allow some reduced travel needs in terms of the appellant’s access to the business. 16. Overall, I am satisfied that the proposal would benefit from the support for live/work schemes set out under SWDP 8 and therefore also complies with Policy SWDP 2. I accept that the proposal, given its location and lack of sustainable transport options, is contrary to the aims of Policy SWDP 4.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Nonetheless, in this specific instance, I am satisfied that the proposal still complies with the development plan taken as a whole. 17. In reaching this view, I recognise that Policy SWDP 4 also aligns with the aims of the Framework in respect of focusing development towards locations which are or can be made sustainable, through limiting the need to travel and offering a genuine choice of transport modes. However, the Framework also sets out that sites to meet local business and community needs in rural areas may have to be found in locations beyond existing settlements, and in locations not well served by public transport. Whilst the Framework also provides policy support for the sustainable growth and expansion of businesses in rural areas. Other Matters 18. The Council has provided various appeal decisions to support its views that the proposed development is in an unsuitable location. I do not have the full details of each of the cases raised. However, neither of the appeals relating to https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1840/W/23/3319030 live/work units at land to the rear of Barlych, Hill Furze3 or Oak Tree Farm4 were seemingly dismissed based on their locations in the open countryside. This is despite the relevant Inspectors finding that those schemes would rely significantly on the use of private motor vehicles. Instead, the appeal at Hill Furze was allowed despite being found contrary to SWDP 4, whilst the Oak Tree Farm appeal was dismissed on character and appearance grounds. A third appeal5 highlighted by the Council is of an entirely different context, in that it related to the development of two market dwellings (as opposed to live/work units) in an area a considerable distance from the appeal site. As such, my decision does not turn on these previous decisions. 19. The appeal site already contains a former commercial building (jam factory) and mobile home which would be replaced by the appeal proposal. Whilst these may have generated significant numbers of vehicle trips in the past, given their nature and rather dilapidated condition they are now unlikely to. As such, I have given this line of argument very limited weight and it has not been determinative to the appeal. Conditions 20.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision I have considered the conditions put forward by the Council against the requirements of the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and the Framework. In the interests of precision, conciseness, and enforceability I have undertaken some minor editing and reordering of the conditions. 21. As well as the standard time limit condition, a condition specifying the approved plans and documents is necessary for the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning. For conciseness, I have updated the condition to also include the need to accord with the submitted Arboricultural Method Statement. 22. A condition requiring details of works within root protection areas is necessary to be complied with before any site works commence, in order to protect vegetation at the site and in the interests of visual amenity. Similarly, a condition relating to the provision of landscaping is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the visual amenity of the site and the surrounding area. 23. A pre-commencement condition requiring an assessment of contamination risks at the site is needed to ensure that the risks from land contamination do not pose a threat to future users of the site or neighbours.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision I have amended the Council condition for precision purposes. 24. The approval of sample materials and finished floor levels are both reasonable and necessary in the interest of the appearance of the development. I have amended the respective conditions to ensure precision and enforceability. 25. Pre-commencement conditions requiring the approval of a construction environmental management plan and provision of a detailed ecological mitigation and enhancements to be submitted and approved in writing by the LPA are reasonable and necessary in the interests of biodiversity.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1840/W/23/3319030 amended the condition regarding an ecological mitigation scheme for clarity purposes. 26. Similarly, a condition requiring the details of any external lighting is reasonable to ensure that there would be no adverse impact on protected species or the rural character of the area. 27. Conditions in relation to renewable energy/low carbon energy generation and water management measures are both reasonable and necessary on sustainability grounds, having regard to development plan policies. 28. Conditions requiring the delivery and maintenance of the access, parking and vehicle turning spaces, as well as electric vehicle charging points and cycle spaces are needed to ensure a satisfactory form of development. 29. A condition to ensure that the live/work units are carried out in accordance with the relevant criteria in Policy SWDP 8, including an occupational condition to ensure that the residential element of the live/work units are occupied by a person in connection with the associated business, are all considered necessary as the proposal is considered as an exception to the development strategy set out by Policy SWDP 2.

Lenches Self Storage, High Trees Badgers Hill, Sheriffs Lench, WR11 4SD — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision However, I have amended the Council’s suggested condition to also include Use Class B8 ‘storage and distribution’ to reflect the nature of the proposed development. Conclusion 30. For the reasons given above, having considered the development plan as a whole, the approach in the Framework and all other relevant considerations, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed.
