Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 30 July 2024 by Mr R Walker BA HONS DIPTP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 19th September 2024 Appeal Ref: APP/P1940/W/23/3330848 Alpine Press, Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire WD4 8LF • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Harman Properties Ltd. against the decision of Three Rivers District Council. • The application Ref is 22/2025/FUL. • The development proposed is construction of mixed use scheme comprising 244 sqm of retail space (Class E(a)), 36 flats (16 x one bed, 20 x two bed), associated access, car parking, bin and cycle storage and landscaping. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for construction of mixed use scheme comprising 244 sqm of retail space (Class E(a)), 36 flats (16 x one bed, 20 x two bed), associated access, car parking, bin and cycle storage and landscaping at Alpine Press, Kings Langley WD4 8LF in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 22/2025/FUL, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision The Council’s second reason for refusal relates to the absence of a signed planning obligation pursuant to section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) (planning obligation) relating to a contribution towards affordable housing. As part of the appeal the main parties have agreed, and signed, a planning obligation. As such, the Council has withdrawn its second reason for refusal. I shall, in any case, return to the obligation later in my decision. 3. The appeal follows an earlier planning application (Ref: 19/1550/FUL) for a similar but smaller scheme, which was approved. There is no dispute between the main parties that a valid commencement has taken place and thus a fallback position exists for a four storey building on the site. Moreover, I have no reason to not consider that it would be implemented were this appeal to be dismissed. Accordingly, I have given it significant weight in my appeal decision. 4. The Council referred to Policy DM2 of its Development Management Policies (DMP) in its reason for refusal. However, this relates to Green Belt matters, and instead the Council has confirmed that Policy DM1 of the DMP relates to the matter in dispute. I have considered the appeal on this basis.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision Main Issue 5. The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the street scene in Station Road. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/P1940/W/23/3330848 Reasons 6. The appeal site is located within a mixed commercial and residential area and is positioned near the Kings Langley railway station. There is a broad mix of buildings including two storey cottages, modest single storey buildings and sizeable commercial and apartment buildings nearby. 7. The proposed building would be six storeys in height, and due to its location between the two storey cottages and the single storey structures at the railway station, it would be a highly prominent building. This prominence would be exacerbated by the forward positioning of the building closer to Station Road than the two storey cottages, the alignment of Station Road, its footway and drop off area outside the station which bends around the site and the proximity to the station platform to the rear. The result would mean that all four sides of the building would be a prominent feature in the street scene. 8. The design of the building incorporates a stepped approach with its highest part stepped in from the sides before rising by two floors. Nonetheless, relative to the other buildings along this side of Station Road, it would still appear an overtly tall building.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision In reaching this conclusion I recognise that there are sizeable buildings to the west of Station Road near the appeal site. However, these are on a much lower ground level and do not share the same relationship to the two storey and single storey buildings either side of the appeal site. Moreover, even considering the relationship to the fallback position the appeal proposal would be a strikingly taller and bulkier structure. 9. The absence of harm from other aspects of the design such as the materials and fenestration does not alter or outweigh my findings in relation to the height and bulk of the building. 10. Given the space around the building, and the mixed character of the area, the extent of harm from being a more overtly bulky and taller structure in the street scene would be small. Nonetheless, there would be harm. 11. I therefore find that the proposed development would have a harmful effect on the street scene in Station Road. As such, I find conflict with the requirements of Policies CP12 of the Council’s Core Strategy (CS) (2011), Policy DM1 and Appendix 2 of the Councils DMP (2013), when taken together and in so far as they relate to this main issue.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision These say, amongst other things, that development will only be supported where it can be demonstrated that the proposal will not result in layouts unable to maintain the particular character of the area in the vicinity of the site in terms of plot size, plot depth, building footprint, plot frontage width, frontage building line, height, gaps between buildings and streetscape features (e.g. hedges, walls, grass verges etc.). 12. However, the level of harm would be at the lower end of the scale and there is broad support for making an efficient use of land in Policy CP12 of the CS and the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) (2023), moderating the weight that I attach to the conflict with the above-mentioned policies. Other Matters 13. Given the parking restrictions nearby and the location near the railway station I am satisfied that the shortfall in parking spaces against the Council’s standards would not result in unacceptable highway safety harm. Subject to conditions, the proposal would also make provision to ensure that future occupiers are not https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/P1940/W/23/3330848 subject to unacceptable noise levels, appropriate landscaping is implemented, and construction works are managed in a manner that would ensure that any disturbance to the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties is not unacceptable. The profits of a developer is not a consideration that carries weight in my appeal. 14. Reference has been made to an appeal decision (Ref: 3274404). However, that site is off Mill Link Road and whilst it is within the vicinity of the site, its characteristics differ to the appeal site’s location along Station Road between the two storey cottages and the single storey station building. In this regard, I have considered the appeal scheme on its own merits having regard to the street scene in this part of Station Road. Planning obligation 15. A signed and dated planning obligation has been completed and submitted with the appeal. The financial contributions include £479,484 toward affordable housing subject to a review prior to the occupation of more than 20 units. This has been agreed between the parties as being financially viable for the scheme and I have no reason to dispute these findings. 16.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision The provision of a financial contribution toward affordable housing in the obligation is necessary to meet identified needs and would accord with Policy CP4 of the CS and is necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms. I also accept that it would be directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably related to it in scale and kind. Accordingly, it would meet the tests set out in paragraph 57 of the Framework and in Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations. Planning Balance 17. The proposed development would cause harm to the street scene resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole. However, I give moderate weight to this conflict as set out above. 18. The Council is not currently able to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites with its Housing Supply Update (2022) identifying that the Council had a supply of 1.9 years, and a Housing Delivery Test figure (2022) of 46%. The plan-led system is embedded in planning law, with the Framework placing great emphasis on the engagement of communities in shaping development plans. This is intended to provide certainty.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision However, it also means that to meet community requirements for homes, jobs and other facilities, development plans must be up to date. In situations such as this, where future housing needs are not being met, the Framework sets out that the policies which are most important for determining the application, in this case Policy CP 12 of the CS and Policy DM1 and Appendix 2 of the DMP, are out of date. Specifically, this means that the presumption in favour of sustainable development set out in paragraph 11d) of the Framework is engaged. 19. The government places considerable importance on making effective use of land to boost the supply of housing, including specifically on previously developed land and in locations with good access to services and facilities, such as the appeal site, which is immediately adjacent to the railway station. 20. Cumulatively, these benefits would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest adverse impacts on the street scene. Therefore, the presumption in https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/P1940/W/23/3330848 favour of sustainable development applies and paragraph 11 d) indicates that permission should be granted. There are no other material considerations to override this finding. Conditions 21. I have adapted the Council’s suggested conditions where necessary and in the interests of precision and brevity. Where necessary, consent has been obtained from the appellant for the use of a pre-commencement condition, as the carrying out of building work in advance of approval could prejudice the scope to agree any changes to the submitted details. 22. In addition to the standard time limit condition (1), I have imposed a condition (2) specifying the relevant drawings and to require that the development is carried out in accordance with them as this provides certainty. 23. Conditions 3, 17 and 33 are necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the development. Condition 4 is necessary in the interests of the environment. Conditions 5, 6, 7, 26 and 28 are necessary in the interests of highway safety and to ensure that the development functions in the interests of the amenity of the area. Condition 8 is necessary to promote sustainable travel options.

Alpine Press , Station Road, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire , WD4 8LF — Three Rivers District Council — Appeal Decision I have adapted the Council’s four drainage conditions into the single condition 9 in the interests of brevity. It is necessary in the interests of the natural environment. 24. Conditions 10, 11, 12, 13, 20 and 24 are necessary in the interests of the functioning of the railway. Conditions 14, 15 and 16 are necessary to ensure that any contamination is mitigated. Condition 18 is necessary in the interests of underground infrastructure. Condition 19 is necessary in the interests of visual amenity and the adjacent railway operations. Conditions 21, 22, 23, 25, 29, 30, 31 and 32 are necessary in the interests of the amenity of residents. Condition 27 is necessary in the interests of tackling climate change and the natural environment. Condition 34 is necessary to ensure that the development functions and in the interests of safety. Conclusion 25. The proposed development would be contrary to the development plan but material considerations, especially the presumption in the Framework, outweigh this conflict. Therefore, for the reasons given, the appeal should succeed.
