Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 14 November 2023 by T Gethin BA (Hons), MSc, MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 6th December 2023 Appeal Ref: APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton BN42 4EN • 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 Philip Offer, Safestore Properties Ltd, against the decision of Adur District Council. • The application Ref AWDM/1856/21, dated 1 October 2021, was refused by notice dated 7 February 2023. • The development proposed is Erection of self-storage warehouse (Use Class B8) with associated parking, circulation and landscaping. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for Erection of self- storage warehouse (Use Class B8) with associated parking, circulation and landscaping at Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton BN42 4EN in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref AWDM/1856/21, dated 1 October 2021, and subject to the conditions set out in the schedule to this decision. Preliminary Matters 2.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision During the appeal, the appellant submitted a legal agreement made as a Deed pursuant to section 106 of the 1990 Act and imposing obligations on the site (s106 agreement). I have had regard to it in reaching my decision. Main Issues 3. The main issues are: • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area; and • whether the proposed use of the site would be acceptable with regards to development plan policies. Reasons Character and appearance 4. Formerly used as a lorry park, the appeal site forms a reasonably large, unused expanse of hardstanding surrounded by a metal crash barrier. It is located within a relatively built-up area which, although including some residential accommodation, is dominated by numerous commercial/industrial buildings, features and uses, and these form the site’s setting. With built form in this area including various functional-looking buildings and port infrastructure, the https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 appearance of the surrounding area is commensurate with its commercial/industrial character. Although the scale of built form does vary, many buildings in the locality are also of a relatively substantial size, including several large industrial sheds and the tall blocks of flats to the east and west of the site. Fronting Albion Street (the A259) and adjacent to the narrow Victoria Road, the site is prominently positioned and visible in various public views. However, despite being set within an industrial area, its appearance and vacant nature detracts from the surrounding area. 5. Despite the proximity, the residential area to the north is physically and visually separated from the site by the railway line embankment, which provides a clear divide between the different areas’ characters, scales and appearance. However, views of the built environment to the south of the railway line are available through the railway bridge.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Some tall industrial-type features, the upper sections of the new block of flats and, what appeared on my site visit to be the top parts of the generator equipment adjacent to the embankment are, for example, also visible above the railway line from Victoria Road. The industrial character and greater scale of development to the south of the embankment is therefore discernible from the other side of the railway line, including from the residential area along Victoria Road. 6. The proposed development would introduce a large, functional-looking building with a greater height than much surrounding built form, including existing buildings to the east and on the opposite side of Albion Street. However, given its setting and the appearance and relatively large size of much surrounding built form, its design (including external facing materials), scale (including footprint and height) and overall bulk would suitably relate to its surroundings. Its set back from the site’s boundaries and its façade treatment, including architectural detailing and articulation, help to break up its mass and mean that the building would not read as an unacceptably dominating or plain, box- like feature in the locality.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Its height would also not be unacceptable in relation to building heights along Albion Street and the building would form part of the transition along it. In coming to this view, I have taken into account that the new residential block to the west has greater articulation, variation and visual interest than the proposed building. 7. In addition, the proposed development would introduce soft landscaping and reduce the area of hardstanding on the site, remove the crash barrier and extend the low flint wall along the western side of the building. It would also screen the somewhat unsightly generator equipment to the rear of the site. Despite the proposed fencing, the appeal proposal would therefore positively contribute to the street scene. 8. As per the submitted evidence, including the verified views, and as I observed on my site visit, the building would be visible from numerous points. This includes clear, unimpeded public views from the section of Victoria Road bounding the site, for some distance in both directions along the Shoreham- Brighton coast road, and from the railway line. Views of the building between existing built form and above the railway line would also be possible in the surrounding area.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision This includes from points on (and near to) Victoria Road to the north, particularly in the area closest to the railway bridge, and from some nearby properties. Although longer distance glimpses may also be possible, such as from/around Southwick Green and further along Albion Street, the increasing degree of separation and presence of intervening features means https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 that any such views would be, at most, very limited. However, given the site’s context, the visibility of various industrial features in the wider area and my above findings, the proposed building would read in all such views (including from the residential area to the north) as a congruous feature with an acceptable appearance and scale that would suitably relate to its surroundings. Irrespective of how visible it would be from them, the appeal proposal would therefore also not harm the setting of the nearby Kingston Buci Conservation Area or the further away Southwick Conservation Area. In coming to this view, I have taken into account that the industrial area is not a purpose-built commercial zone, that the trees along the railway line are not in leaf all year and their size/number may continue to be reduced in future. 9. For the above reasons, I conclude that the proposed development would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area. I therefore find that it accords with Policy 15 of the Adur Local Plan 2017 (ALP) and Policy SH9 of the Shoreham Harbour Joint Area Action Plan (JAAP).

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Amongst other aspects, these expect development to be of a high architectural quality, demonstrate a high standard of design that enhances the visual quality of the environment, and to respect and enhance the character of the site and surrounding area. The proposal would also be consistent with the provisions in the National Planning Policy Framework (Framework) in relation to achieving well-designed places. Use of site 10. With the site being located in the Shoreham Harbour Regeneration Area (SHRA), several development plan policies are relevant to the acceptability of the proposed use. Amongst various other aspects, ALP Policies 4 and 8 and JAAP Policy SH3 seek to deliver a minimum of 16,000m2 of employment generating uses in this area. The site is also identified in the JAAP and included as a priority for the Harbour Mouth area, with Policy CA6 identifying that options for alternative uses of the site will be explored and the supporting text setting out that this includes relocation of existing SHRA businesses. 11.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Given its former use as a lorry park, the site did not previously provide an employment use and the development proposed, whilst not creating a significant employment generating use, would provide employment equivalent to approximately three full time employees. The appeal proposal does therefore constitute an employment generating use. In any event, the appeal proposal would provide an alternative use of the site and, as acknowledged by the Council, policy neither requires an employment use on the site nor sets out a specific level of employment to be provided. 12. It has been put to me that redevelopment of the area is leading to former industrial uses being relocated and that the site would be suitable for existing businesses to move to, with one business being interested in such a move. Although the proposed development would not relocate a business from elsewhere in the SHRA, there is no policy requirement or expectation for this, and the supporting text does not refer to the relocation of such businesses as the only alternative use for the site. 13.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Accordingly, irrespective of whether the proposed development would make best use of the site, the proposed use would be acceptable and accord with the above development plan policies relating to uses of the site and employment generating uses in the SHRA. The presence of other existing and recently https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 approved storage facilities in the locality, the previous uses of the site and surrounding area, and the need for more homes and space for other employment (including start-up business) and training opportunities do not lead me to a different view. With the available evidence indicating that much of the storage provided would likely be used by businesses, the appeal proposal would also support existing local businesses and in-direct employment. Other matters 14. The s106 agreement submitted with the appeal includes, amongst other aspects, an obligation covering a financial contribution towards transport projects in the locality. The available evidence indicates that this accords with the development plan and that the obligations within the s106 agreement are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; are directly related to the development; and are fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to it. Accordingly, I find that the obligations in the Deed meet the relevant tests in the Framework and the requirements of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (as amended).

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Collectively, they therefore constitute a reason for granting planning permission in accordance with Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations. 15. A number of other matters have been raised by interested parties and I have taken them all into account.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision This includes: the building’s overall floor space and the potential future introduction of mezzanine floor space; inaccuracies in the plans and other documents, including regarding floor levels and the building’s height, the actual number and size of trees in the locality, and existing properties not being shown; land contamination; lack of consultation with residents; harm to the living conditions and mental health of existing residents, including with respect to privacy, air and light pollution, noise disturbance, personal safety and security, and loss of daylight, sunlight and outlook; the Daylight and Sunlight report not including an accurate assessment of the size of existing properties; the proposed building appearing as an imposing feature on Victoria Road and exacerbating fly-tipping and vandalism; the need for more landscaping; existing trees along the embankment having been reduced in the past and could be removed at any time; highway safety, including regarding access, traffic generation and parking demand (especially if the floor space is increased) and visibility in relation to fencing and the building’s size and position; the effect on wildlife and the environment; overdevelopment; lack of compliance with

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision other local and national policies and various Council initiatives, objectives and documents relating to the area’s regeneration; drainage; the need for other uses, such as a lorry park or much-needed affordable housing, rather than for a storage building which would not provide a lively addition to the locality; and loss of the site for use by local children and the film industry.

However, whilst I take these representations seriously, I have not been presented with compelling evidence to demonstrate that the appeal proposal would result in unacceptable effects in relation to any of these matters. Consequently, they do not lead me to a different overall conclusion that the appeal should be allowed. Some of the issues raised, such as regarding landscaping, lighting and drainage, can also be covered by planning conditions. Conditions 17.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 Practice Guidance. I have made such amendments as necessary to comply with those documents, for clarity and consistency, and to ensure that details are submitted for the Council’s approval where relevant. 18. In addition to the standard time limit condition, I have imposed a condition requiring the carrying out of the development in accordance with the approved plans in the interests of certainty. Given the site’s position and the extent of development, a pre-commencement condition securing a construction management plan is necessary and reasonable in the interests of the safe and efficient operation of the highway and the living conditions of existing residents. A pre-commencement condition covering the protection of public sewers and the proposed means of foul sewerage and surface water disposal from the development is necessary to ensure essential infrastructure is maintained and to prevent flood risk and water pollution. For the sake of brevity, I have however combined the suggested conditions covering these matters.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Based on the findings and recommendations in the Preliminary Risk Assessment & Geo-Environmental Assessment, a pre-commencement condition covering contamination is necessary in the interests of environmental protection and public health and safety. A further condition covering previously unidentified contamination is necessary for the same reasons. 19. I have imposed a condition relating to ground and floor levels in the interests of clarity, the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of existing occupiers. However, with little substantive evidence that such details are needed prior to all works commencing on site, I have amended the condition accordingly. Conditions securing details of external materials and hard and soft landscaping are necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the surrounding area. A condition covering construction working hours is necessary to safeguard the living conditions of existing occupiers. 20. I have imposed a condition covering parking and turning space in the interests of highway safety. Conditions covering a travel plan and cycle parking are necessary to encourage and promote sustainable transport.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision A condition covering renewable energy and efficiency measures is necessary to ensure an efficient use of energy. A condition requiring compliance with the identified mitigation measures identified in the flood risk and drainage assessment is necessary to ensure the safety of the development and its users. I have imposed conditions relating to external lighting and the use of the building in order to protect the living conditions of existing occupiers, and also for clarity with respect to the latter condition. 21. Although not suggested in the Council’s appeal statement, a condition covering public art is referenced in the Council’s Officer Report and included in the draft Decision Notice. On the basis that the appellant has proposed public art and the site plan references artistic fencing but limited details have been provided regarding what it would involve, such a condition is necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the locality. However, I have not imposed the other additional condition referenced in those documents which seeks to restrict extensions/amendments to the building because I have little substantive evidence that such a condition is necessary to make the development acceptable.

Former Albion Street Lorry Park, Albion Street, Shoreham Port, Brighton, BN42 4EN — Adur District Council — Appeal Decision Any such extensions/amendments to the building via permitted development rights would in any event not be particularly significant, and the suggested condition would not control the provision of additional floor space through the introduction of a mezzanine. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5 Appeal Decision APP/Y3805/W/23/3327190 Conclusion 22. For the above reasons, and having had regard to all other matters raised, I conclude that the proposed development would accord with the development plan as a whole. The appeal is therefore allowed.
