Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/A2525/W/23/3328841 & APP/A2525/W/23/3339842 Preliminary Matters 4. As set out above, there are two appeals on this site. I have considered each on its individual merits. However, in order to avoid duplication, I have dealt with the two schemes together, except where indicated. 5. I have amended the descriptions of development in my decisions in order to omit elements that do not relate to acts of development. 6. The evidence includes planning obligations. I will return to these later in my decision. Main Issues 7. The main issue in relation to Appeal A is the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area. 8. The main issues in relation to Appeal B are the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, and its effect upon a Public Right of Way. Reasons Character and appearance 9. The appeal site is an area of agricultural land. It is predominantly located to the rear of a residential property which fronts Lime Walk, however it does address the road to the north of this dwelling, at the point at which access would be taken in the case of Appeal B.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Adjacent to the southern boundary of the site is a Public Right of Way (‘PROW’), beyond which is a residential development currently under construction. I understand that this development amounts to 70 dwellings. To the east of the site is an area of allotments. 10. The southern end of Lime Walk is located in the vicinity of the heart of Long Sutton, it then stretches northwards towards the village of Lutton. The western side of the road contains linear development which addresses the road, until a point north of the appeal site, where linear development switches to the eastern side of the road. Towards its southern extent, the eastern side of the road provides access to larger residential areas. This pattern is continued by the site currently under construction. Although this means that the main built area of the settlement is expanding northwards at this point, both Lime Walk to the west, and a road and further residential development to the east provide visual containment. The appeal proposals would contribute further to this northwards expansion. 11. It is not disputed between the main parties that the site lies within the settlement limits of Long Sutton.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Long Sutton is identified within Policy 1 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan (‘SELLP’) as a main service centre. The appeal site is allocated1 for residential development in SELLP Policy 11, where it is envisaged that the site could accommodate 34 dwellings. The supporting text to SELLP Policy 11 acknowledges that stated allocation numbers are not necessarily maximum, or in some cases minimum capacities, and issues of viability, design, constraints and making efficient use of land should also be considerations in determining housing numbers. 12. Currently, the transition between the northern extent of built development of Long Sutton and the countryside beyond is abrupt. A public park and allotments 1 Site Los008 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/A2525/W/23/3328841 & APP/A2525/W/23/3339842 to the southeast of the appeal site provide a limited visual buffer, but the view from Lime Walk currently reflects the wider landscape which is characterised by broadly flat areas of large arable agricultural fields, of often regular shapes and in many cases directly abutting development. In this context the extent of development along the road itself, does not serve to increase any sense of rurality. 13. Therefore, although both proposals would also lead to a similarly abrupt edge to the area of built development, they would effectively move this point further to the north, rather than erode any existing transition into the countryside. Although the schemes would not allow for significant levels of landscaping to be provided at the northern extent, the effect of this would be no more harmful that the existing settlement edge provided by the earlier phase of development. 14.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions It is stated that the allocation of the appeal site for 34 dwellings was, in part, a reflection of the need to provide a form of visual transition between the built-up area and the countryside by means of introducing a lower density form of development to the north of the other allocated housing site2. Be this at it may, there is no substantive evidence before me which substantiates the need for such a transitionary area in visual terms. Nor has it been shown that the allocation is subject to specific restrictions on this basis. 15. Therefore, while I acknowledge that the allocation envisaged a lower level of density, and that the two allocated sites should be brought forward in sequence, it has not been shown that the quantum of development proposed in both appeals, whether 48 or 56 dwellings, and arranged in the layouts proposed with dwellings close to the northern boundary, would be unacceptably harmful. 16. In the case of Appeal B, the Council is concerned that an additional access taken from Lime Walk would lead to a proliferation of such accesses and would be contrary to the allocation, which states that there should be a vehicular connection to the earlier phase, to the south.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions However, this is described within the allocation as an ‘ideal’ as opposed to a requirement. Furthermore, the creation of an additional access from Lime Walk would not be unacceptably urbanising, particularly when considered in the context of other development along the road, including commercial premises. 17. Accordingly, the proposals would not result in unacceptable harm to the character or appearance of the area. They would accord with SELLP Policies 2 and 3, which together and amongst other factors state that development will be permitted where considerations are met in relation to scale, density, layout and character and appearance of the area, and the relationship to existing development and land uses, and quality of design. 18. The Council has also cited conflict with SELLP Policy 1 in relation to Appeal A, however this policy relates to the strategic development strategy for the area, and makes no specific reference to the effect of a proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, or acceptable densities for housing allocations. It has not, therefore, been determinative in my conclusions on this main issue. Public Right of Way – Appeal B only 19.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions As set out above, a PROW adjoins the southern boundary of the appeal site and separates it from a residential development currently under construction. 2 Los026 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/A2525/W/23/3328841 & APP/A2525/W/23/3339842 Although construction work at the adjoining site is ongoing, I was able to appreciate the relationship of dwellings within that site to the footpath. 20. The PROW currently affords views across the appeal site to countryside beyond. As a result of the proposal, along with the completion of the adjacent development, the PROW would be surrounded by residential developments. Its character would fundamentally change from a rural field path to a route between housing developments. However, its integrity would be retained and, it is stated, its width maintained or increased to between 4 and 6 metres. 21. I saw that some plots within the adjacent development would face towards the PROW, and in doing so would provide an element of natural surveillance. The proposed layout for the Appeal B scheme would result in dwellings presenting a mix of gables and rear elevations to the PROW. Although it is possible that short sections of the PROW would not be subject to natural surveillance, the number of dwellings that would present elevations towards it means that a significant length of it would be overlooked. 22.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Even if future occupiers were to increase the height of boundary treatments adjacent to the path, the proximity of the dwellings themselves, and first storey rear windows within them would continue to provide natural surveillance. Moreover, the PROW is straight and flat in nature, with good visibility in either direction. Combined with the natural surveillance that would exist from dwellings, along with the width of the route, it would not have a character that would feel narrow and enclosed or be likely to lead to an unacceptable level of fear of crime. 23. The proposal subject of Appeal B would not lead to unacceptable harm to the PROW with particular regard to the fear of crime. It would therefore be accordance with SELLP Policies 2 and 3, which together and amongst other factors state that developments should meet considerations in relation to layout and quality of design, and secure community safety and crime prevention. Other Matters Planning obligations 24. The appeals are accompanied by unilateral undertakings (‘the UUs’) by the appellant in relation to the provision of affordable housing and financial contributions towards education and healthcare facilities, as well as fees for monitoring the obligations. 25.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions SELLP Policy 18 sets out that the proposal should provide 25% affordable housing provision. The UUs, in making provision for 14 (Appeal A) and 12 (Appeal B) affordable units respectively, would meet this requirement. 26. With regard to the financial contribution towards education facilities, the stated figures of £255,030 (Appeal A) and £178,521 (Appeal B) align with those requested by Leicestershire County Council and have been calculated in accordance with a stated methodology. Equally, the sums of £36,960 (Appeal A) and £31,680 (Appeal B) towards additional healthcare facilities align with the sums requested by NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board and which have also been calculated in accordance with a stated methodology. All of these contributions would seek to mitigate the effect of the proposed developments upon local infrastructure, in accordance with SELLP Policy 6. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/A2525/W/23/3328841 & APP/A2525/W/23/3339842 27. Overall, I am satisfied that the provision of these measures and financial contributions are necessary to make the developments acceptable in planning terms, are directly related to the developments, and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind. They would, therefore, meet the relevant tests. 28. The UUs include the provision of £2,500 towards the cost of monitoring each obligation, however, the Council has indicated that it would expect £2,915. 29. Planning Practice Guidance (‘PPG’) states that authorities can charge a monitoring fee to cover the cost of monitoring and reporting on the delivery of relevant planning obligations. It also states that in all cases, monitoring fees must be proportionate and reasonable and reflect the actual cost of monitoring. 30. There is no substantive evidence before me relating to any justification for either the level of monitoring fees proposed within the UUs, or the higher figure requested by the Council. In such circumstances, I cannot be certain that either contribution would be proportionate, or fairly or reasonably related in scale to the development.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Therefore, these elements of the UUs would not meet the relevant tests, and I have not taken them into account in reaching my decision. 31. For these reasons, the obligations in respect of monitoring fees do not satisfy the tests set out in Paragraph 57 of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘the Framework’) and in Community Infrastructure Levy Regulation 122. I am therefore unable to take them into account in determining this appeal. I conclude, however, that the remaining obligations that would be secured through the UUs would meet the statutory tests and as such, they are material considerations in this appeal. Hence, the proposal would not conflict with SELLP Policies 6 and 18. Interested parties 32. Concerns have been raised by interested parties in relation to a number of issues. In relation to existing infrastructure, the provided planning obligation would provide mitigation for the effects of the proposals with regard to access to education and healthcare facilities. There is no substantive evidence before me which would indicate that the proposals would have other, unmitigated effects. 33.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions I am also satisfied that the provided planning obligations provide sufficient surety in terms of longer-term responsibilities. Any potential future issues of non-compliance or renegotiation would be matters to be considered by the local planning authority in the future and would not warrant the restriction of planning permission in the first instance. 34. The proposals would lead to the loss of agricultural land, however there is no indication that it comprises best and most versatile agricultural land for the purposes of the Framework. As the appeal site forms a housing allocation within the SELLP, its loss from the supply of agricultural land would have been considered as part of that process. Accordingly, there is no substantive evidence before me to indicate that the loss of the appeal site would be unacceptably harmful to the supply of agricultural land. 35. The proposals would lead to an increase in traffic using the local road network, and it is possible that this would be noticeable. However, there is no evidence before me which demonstrates that the proposals would operate unsafely or lead to severe impacts upon the highway network.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Neither the Council nor the Highway Authority has raised concerns in this regard, and I have no reason to reach a different conclusion. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Appeal Decisions APP/A2525/W/23/3328841 & APP/A2525/W/23/3339842 36. I acknowledge that construction work can generate noise and disturbance for existing occupiers of nearby dwellings. However, I consider that working practices within the appeal site could be adequately controlled by means of suitably worded planning conditions. 37. It is also stated that the proposals would result in local residents being unable to access the housing market. However, there is no evidence before me which would substantiate this concern. Conditions 38. I have had regard to the various planning conditions that have been suggested by the Council. Where necessary, I have amended the conditions in order to ensure that they meet the relevant tests as set out at Paragraph 56 of the Framework. 39. In addition to the standard time limit conditions, I have attached conditions requiring adherence with the approved plans, and to agree schedules of materials and finished floor levels in the interests of clarity and securing a satisfactory form of development in the interests of the character and appearance of the area.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions Conditions relating to landscaping schemes and details of boundary treatments, along with the maintenance of landscaping are also required in the interests of the character and appearance of the area. 40. I have attached the suggested conditions in relation to the erection of a retaining wall and boundary fence adjacent to 36 Lime Walk in the interests of the living conditions of occupiers of this property and the character and appearance of the area. 41. Conditions relating to the provision and future maintenance of public open spaces, along with details and provisions of bin collection areas are required in the interests of the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of future occupiers. 42. Further conditions relating to the further investigation of potential land contamination are required in order to ensure suitable living conditions for future occupiers, while a construction management plan is required in the interests of the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties. These conditions are required to be pre-commencement so that land contamination risks can be understood before any groundworks commence and that construction is appropriately managed from the outset. 43.

Land to the rear of 36 Lime Walk, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincs, PE12 9HG — South Holland District Council — Appeal Decisions I have also attached conditions relating to foul and surface drainage in the interests of flood risk and to ensure that sewage is adequately managed. Conditions relating to biodiversity net gain and restriction water consumption are also necessary in the interests of enhancing the natural environment and mitigating climate change. 44. I have not attached the suggested conditions in relation to providing wheel washes, as they would duplicate requirements set out in the conditions in relation to construction management plans and are therefore unnecessary. Conclusion 45. For the reasons give above, the proposals subject to both Appeals A and B would be in accordance with the development plan. There are no material considerations, including the Framework, that indicate that a decision should be https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate
