Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 14 August 2024 by E Pickernell BSc MSC MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 17 October 2024 Appeal Ref: APP/H1840/W/23/3334196 Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin WR10 2ER • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) against a failure to give notice within the prescribed period of a decision on an application for outline planning permission • The appeal is made by Lone Star Land Ltd against Wychavon District Council. • The application Ref is W/23/01316/OUT. • The development proposed is application for outline planning permission with all matters reserved, except for access, for up to 44no. dwellings, including 18no. affordable dwellings. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed, and planning permission is granted for application for outline planning permission with all matters reserved, except for access, for up to 44no. dwellings, including 18no. affordable dwellings at Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin WR10 2ER in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref W/23/01316/OUT, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision The appeal scheme relates to an outline proposal, with access to be considered at this stage and matters relating to appearance, landscaping, layout and scale are reserved for future consideration. I have considered the appeal accordingly. 3. Amended drawings were submitted to the Council during the application stage. The Council made their assessment based on these revised plans and it is these that will inform my assessment, albeit they are illustrative in respect of all matters other than access. 4. A signed planning obligation under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) was submitted as part of the appeal. This has obligations relating to the provision of affordable housing, financial contributions to the Council in respect of off-site built sports, off-site formal sport, and primary care contributions and to the County Council in respect of community transport and early years education contributions. It also includes obligations in respect of on-site public open space. I return to this matter later in my decision. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate - APP/H1840/W/23/3334196

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Background and Reasons 5. The appeal relates to a planning application that was not determined by the Council within the prescribed period. The Council have submitted an appeal statement which confirms that, had it been in a position to do so, it would have approved the planning application subject to conditions. As such, the Council and the appellant share the view that the appeal scheme is acceptable. 6. In light of all that I have seen and read, I concur with the appellant and the Council that whilst the proposal would conflict with the spatial strategy for the area and would result in a degree of harm to the character and appearance of the area, these harms would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme which include the provision of market and affordable housing in a location with good access to services and facilities. I have no reason to dispute the conclusions they have reached. Other Matters 7. Notwithstanding the position of the Council in respect of the acceptability of the proposal, I acknowledge that interested parties have raised concerns in relation to a number of matters, in addition to those relating to the location and character and appearance. 8.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision The siting of the proposed dwellings is a matter which is reserved for future consideration, however the illustrative masterplan indicates the construction of dwellings in the southeastern corner of the site, near to existing properties. Given the length of the gardens of these existing properties, and bearing in mind that the placement of dwellings is not known at this stage, I am satisfied that the proposal would not result in significant harm to the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of privacy. Any potential increase in the use of existing footpaths would not affect the privacy of existing occupants to a significant degree. Any proposed boundary treatment is a matter for future consideration. 9. I note the concerns about the increased use of the existing footpath and its suitability for such use given its condition. However, the masterplan makes provision for new footpath links and a suitably worded condition would require further details of these. I am therefore content that suitable pedestrian links would be provided. The indicative location of the play areas would not be directly adjacent to any existing dwelling.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Nevertheless, this is a matter which is reserved for future consideration and would therefore be subject to further scrutiny. There is no reason to assume that the proposal would result in an increase in anti-social behaviour in the area. Any damage to property which may occur would be a private matter between the parties involved. 10. The application was accompanied by a Drainage Connectivity Survey Report and a Sustainable Drainage Statement. The Council consider that subject to conditions to secure a scheme for a surface water drainage strategy and a construction surface water management plan, the proposals are acceptable in terms of drainage and flood risk. In the absence of substantive evidence to the contrary, I have no reason to dispute these findings. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate - APP/H1840/W/23/3334196

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision 11. The Council have some misgivings in relation to the submitted Bird and Reptile Survey Report, although they are content that a precautionary method of working, combined with a suitable landscape buffer would ensure suitable habitat for reptiles is provided. The conditions include a requirement for a detailed reptile mitigation strategy which would secure these elements. Whilst the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal does not specifically mention deer, conditions would ensure areas providing habitat would be retained and created. Subject to these conditions I am satisfied that the proposal would not have a harmful effect on wildlife. 12. I acknowledge concerns about the potential contamination at the site, however a condition would ensure that the land is appropriately remediated. Whether existing houses were built on contaminated land is beyond the scope of this appeal. 13. The Highway Authority consider that the access would be capable of serving the proposed development and that traffic generated by the development would not have a detrimental impact on the existing highway network. In the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary, I have no basis upon which to come to a contrary conclusion.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision I accept that the proposal would involve the loss of agricultural land however there is limited evidence before me regarding the benefits of the current use of the land and that this would outweigh the benefits of the scheme. Planning Obligation Affordable housing 14. Policy SWDP 15 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (adopted February 2016) (DP) seeks to secure 40% of units on sites of 15 or more dwellings on greenfield land as affordable housing. Accordingly, the planning obligation makes provision for 40% affordable housing with a tenure spit of 67% social rented units, 27% first homes and 6% shared ownership. Based on the evidence before me, there is a need for such housing in the local area. This is therefore necessary to adhere to the requirements of the development plan and to secure affordable housing as a benefit of the scheme. Community transport contribution 15. Policy SWDP 4 of the DP states that in order to promote more transport choice in rural areas, community transport and innovative transport projects, will be encouraged in conjunction with new development proposals.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision The Highway Authority have identified a particular need in relation to future elderly and disabled residents to provide access to services and healthcare facilities. A contribution of £1,209 is therefore necessary to ensure suitable transport choice is available to future occupiers. Early years education contribution 16. The Education Authority forecast that the proposal would yield 5 children who may need places at an early-years setting. The evidence suggests that there is an insufficient level of funded childcare places close to the development. A contribution of £66,366 is necessary to make provision for early years education within a 2-mile radius of the development. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate - APP/H1840/W/23/3334196

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Off-site formal and built sports contributions 17. Policy SWDP 39 of the DP sets out the requirements for open space, community uses and sports pitches in new development. The policy lists a limited range of typologies however the Council has commissioned a detailed report to identify current needs in relation to sports facility provision. This identifies a need for a range of facilities to meet the demand associated with new development. Contributions of £79,722 for formal sports pitches and £29,292 for built sports facilities, comprising improvements to facilities at Pershore High School are necessary to ensure the proposal makes adequate provision towards sports facilities. Primary care contribution 18. The proposal would result in additional demand upon primary healthcare services through the introduction of new residents into the area. The amount of floorspace required to meet this demand has been ascertained on the basis of optimal list size per GP and a cost associated with this provision has been calculated. A contribution of £28,800 is necessary to mitigate the demand upon primary care which would arise as a result of the development. On-site public open space requirements 19.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Policy SWDP39 of the DP outlines open space requirements in respect of new development. This equates to a required provision of 1547.22sqm for the proposed development. The obligation requires the submission of an on-site public open space scheme and arrangements for the subsequent implementation, maintenance and management of the public open space. It also provides an alternative approach in respect of contributions towards off- site provision in the event that the requirements cannot be delivered on-site. This obligation is necessary to adhere to the requirements of the development plan. Conclusion on planning obligations 20. For the reasons set out above, I am satisfied that the planning obligations 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 the development. They would therefore comply with regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 and paragraph 57 of the Framework. Conditions 21.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision Where necessary, I have undertaken some minor editing and rationalisation of the conditions proposed by the Council where they meet the tests set out in paragraph 56 of the Framework in the interests of precision and clarity. To ensure an acceptable form of development is delivered, it is necessary to secure details of the reserved matters prior to the commencement of development. The plans should be specified in the interest of certainty and I have not listed any plans which are indicative or illustrative. 22. In addition to those conditions already referred to in my reasoning above, a condition requiring the submission of a Construction Environmental Management Plan is necessary to ensure that the construction of the https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate - APP/H1840/W/23/3334196

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision development does not result in unacceptable impacts upon the environment and biodiversity, and that vehicular movements associated with construction have an acceptable effect on the area. 23. A condition requiring the protection of trees during construction is necessary to ensure that no harm occurs to the trees which are to be retained. The provision of a scheme for the foul drainage of the site is necessary to ensure that adequate provision is made for foul sewerage infrastructure. A written scheme of investigation is necessary to ensure that any archaeological remains which may exist at the site are appropriately protected and recorded. 24. To ensure a satisfactory appearance and suitable landscaping as part of the reserved matters, conditions requiring details of finished levels and hard and soft landscaping are required. Details of lighting are required to ensure a satisfactory appearance and to ensure biodiversity is conserved and enhanced. The implementation of renewable and/or low carbon energy generation is justified by Local Plan Policy SWDP27 which seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. 25.

Land North of Allens Hill, Pinvin, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2ER — Wychavon District Council — Appeal Decision A condition controlling hours of work is necessary in order to ensure that the construction phase of the development does not have an unacceptable effect on the living conditions of nearby occupiers. To ensure that the proposal has an acceptable impact on highway safety and that the site is also accessible by non-car modes of transport conditions requiring the provision of visibility splays, footway and cycleways, footpath links, pedestrian crossing, residential travel welcome pack and cycle parking are necessary. An up-to-date noise assessment is required to ensure that the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers. 26. A condition requiring the provision of electric vehicle charging points has been suggested however this is now a requirement of the Building Regulations and is therefore unnecessary. Conclusion 27. The proposed development would conflict with the development plan. However, the adverse impacts of the proposal would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits. Therefore, the material considerations indicate that a decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed, and planning permission is granted.
