Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 24 June 2024 by S Harrington MA MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 09 July 2024 Appeal Ref: APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park TQ6 9EY • 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 Mr Peter Bromley against the decision of South Hams District Council. • The application Ref is 0457/23/FUL. • The development proposed is erection of 7 new dwellings and associated access road. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for erection of 7 new dwellings and associated access road at Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park TQ6 9EY in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 0457/23/FUL, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2. On 22 November 2023 all designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in England and Wales became “National Landscapes”. The legal designation and policy status of AONBs are unchanged, but I have replaced reference to the South Hams AONB with the South Hams National Landscape (SHNL) in my decision to reflect this change. 3.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision The appeal site is subject to previous planning permissions in relation to the construction of 3 dwellings1 and a recent permission2(the recent permission) granted in March 2024 in relation to the erection of 6 new dwellings and associated road. Given the date of approval of the recent permission and its nature being similar to that of the appeal proposal, albeit for 6 dwellings, there is a greater than theoretical possibility that this permission would be implemented. I therefore ascribe the recent permission as a fallback position significant weight. Main Issues 4. The main issues are: • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area; • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of privacy and noise, and the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to private outdoor space associated with plots 1, 2, 5 and 6; and 1 2167/16/FUL 2 0238/24/FUL https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 • Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for education, open space, play facilities, playing pitch/sports facilities and affordable housing, having regard to development viability. Reasons Character and appearance 5. The appeal site is a former reservoir on steeply sloping topography on the edge of Dartmouth and within the SHNL and designated undeveloped coast. Due to the hillside location, the appeal site is visible from both nearby and distant viewpoints. However, given its location adjacent built form and previously developed character, it is seen to be more visually associated with the surrounding built form of the settlement as opposed to the open fields and landscape beyond the site. Therefore, the appeal site does not positively contribute to the wider landscape or scenic beauty of the SHNL. 6. Although built form in the area is of predominantly traditional appearance including detached and terrace dwellings, there are notable examples of large expanses of glazing. Furthermore, notable areas of hardstanding fronting Victoria Road also contribute to the residential character of the area. 7.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision The overall appearance of the proposal is similar to that of the recent permission, although along with a slightly amended layout which provides some additional landscaping, the appeal proposal features a terrace of three dwellings as opposed to a pair of semi-detached dwellings at the entrance to the site. 8. The proposed terrace would continue the general terracing form of dwellings along Victoria Road, and are of traditional appearance, with ridgelines stepping up along with the topography of the site. Whilst of more contemporary appearance due to large areas of glazing, the proposed two pairs of semi- detached dwellings would be seen in the context of nearby dwellings featuring similar glazing. From more distant views, despite appearing as three stories from the front elevation, they would be well related to the immediately surrounding built form and would retain the clear visual break of development created by fields between the appeal site and development on the skyline at Yorke Road above. 9.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Furthermore, the siting of the two pairs of semi-detached dwellings, due to their spatial relationship with Victoria Road, would provide a clear visual stop of residential development at this part of Dartmouth, preventing the appearance of development spreading into undeveloped areas of the SHNL. 10. Although the proposal includes larger areas of hardstanding than the recent permission, the additional hardstanding would not significantly alter the overall appearance when viewed from the surrounding area. Moreover, even if domestic paraphernalia was present and vehicles parked and bin stores were increased in size, the proposal would not appear uncharacteristic of this location. Additionally, details of landscaping which would assist in breaking up the areas of hardstanding can be secured by condition. 11. Overall, I find that the proposal would appropriately integrate into its environment, appearing as a well-designed development which, given my findings on the contribution of the site to the designated landscape above, would conserve the scenic beauty of the SHNL. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 12. Consequently, I conclude that the proposal would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the area. As such, it would accord with policies SPT1, DEV 10, Dev 20, DEV 23, DEV 24 and DEV 25 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2019 (LP). These policies, amongst other things, seek housing development to be of high quality having proper regard to the pattern of local development and respecting sense of place, as well as conserve and enhance the landscape character and scenic beauty of the SHNL and undeveloped coast. There would also be no conflict with the overarching aims of the Framework which requires, amongst other things well designed places which conserve the natural environment and do not compromise the special qualities and characteristics of the SHNL. Living conditions 13. The neighbouring property Birchover is located adjacent to the proposed terrace of three dwellings and features numerous windows on the side elevation overlooking the appeal site.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision However, the window-to-window separation distance between the proposed terrace of dwellings and Birchover is similar to that of approved dwellings with the recent permission and is not uncommon within a residential area. 14. Furthermore, whilst the proposal would result in an additional dwelling compared to the recent permission, this would be stepped back further from Birchover. Given this spatial relationship with Birchover and separation distances with other surrounding neighbouring properties, the proposal would not result in significant overlooking. 15. The proposal would inevitably result in additional movements and noise associated with day-to-day residential activities. Notwithstanding, such activity is expected within a residential area, and proposed parking areas are sufficiently distanced from Birchover, with an intervening access drive to prevent any significant harmful impact. 16. Moreover, whilst resulting in an additional dwelling, given residential activity that would be associated by future occupiers of the recent permission, a single additional dwelling is unlikely to significantly increase disturbance given the surrounding urban context. 17.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision The Plymouth and South West Devon Supplementary Planning Document (2020) (SPD) provides guidance on the provision for outdoor amenity space which is stated to include all front, rear and side useable areas. However, the SPD also outlines that exceptions to stated standards can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. 18. The appellant has identified the sizes of outside areas for each plot, which includes some path areas and areas adjacent parking spaces. Notwithstanding, even if the useable garden areas associated with plots 1, 2, 5 and 6 were below space standards outlined within the SPD, the rear garden spaces would still provide sufficient space for future occupiers to enjoy that, given the surrounding countryside, wouldn’t feel overly enclosed or constrained. 19. To conclude, the proposal would not significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of privacy and noise, and the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to private outdoor space. The proposal would therefore accord with LP policies DEV 1 and https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 DEV 10. These policies seek, amongst other things, to ensure living conditions are safeguarded and provide sufficient external garden space. In this respect, there would also be no conflict with guidance within the SPD. Infrastructure and affordable housing 20. The appeal submission was accompanied by a revised viability statement (dated 12 December 2023) (VS). In light of the VS, the Council have accepted that it is not justified to seek planning obligations in relation to affordable housing, education or open space/play/sports provision and does not wish to pursue their 4th reason for refusal. 21. Limited evidence is before me as to if the obligations specified in the Council’s reason for refusal would be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, and directly, fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. Nevertheless, even if I were to find that the requested contributions were well founded, the VS has demonstrated that the contributions would make the proposal economically unviable, and I find no reason to reach alternative conclusions. 22.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Consequently, the proposal makes adequate provision for education, open space, play facilities, playing pitch/sports facilities and affordable housing, having regard to development viability. The proposal therefore accords with LP Policy DEL 1 which amongst other things, accepts relaxation of planning obligations on the basis of robust viability evidence. Other Matters 23. A number of concerns have been brought to my attention from interested parties. Even if the site address provided on the application form differs from that on previous planning applications, I have no reason to believe this is inaccurate, or has prevented the Council from undertaking the required publicity and public consultation. 24. The Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy (21 December 2022) (DS) outlines that the flood risk criterion at the site is considered to be surface water / fluvial, related to its location close to the top of a steep catchment which feeds the culverted Victoria Stream. The DS provides preliminary design measures to make the development safe throughout its lifetime, without increasing flood risk elsewhere and, where possible, to reduce flood risk overall. 25.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision The Environment Agency have raised no objections, although suggest a condition relating to swale and site levels illustrated within a preliminary Surface Water Drainage Strategy. Nevertheless, planning conditions can be imposed requiring full final details of the drainage scheme, including swale and site levels and to ensure its maintenance and retention. Given the substantive evidence before me, I see no reason why the proposal could not provide adequate drainage provision. 26. Albeit a snapshot in time, I observed a number of vehicles parked along Victoria Road at my site visit. Given the proposal incorporates two off-road vehicular parking spaces per dwelling, there would be no significant increase in on-road parking. Furthermore, subject to a planning condition, the proposal would provide a safe access and given the numbers of movements associated https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 with the proposal would not result in unacceptable highway safety concerns, and I note the Highway Authority have reached similar conclusions. 27. Although I note an interested party’s representation that hedgehogs may live on or near the site, the Ecological Impact Assessment (October 2022) (EIA) concluded that the appeal site is of relatively low ecological interest, with no/minimal adverse impacts predicted on important ecological features. I have no substantive evidence before me to indicate that the EIA is inaccurate, and planning conditions can be imposed to ensure that ecological recommendations, mitigation and enhancement measures are fully implemented and retained thereafter. Conditions 28. The Council has provided a list of suggested conditions in the event of the appeal being allowed, which I have assessed with regard to the advice provided in the Planning Practice Guidance. A condition regarding the approved plans is required to provide certainty. 29. A condition is necessary to ensure that the proposed dwellings are occupied as a principal residency in order to safeguard the sustainability of Dartmouth.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Conditions are also necessary to ensure adequate details are submitted in relation to landscaping and materials, and given the quantum of built form proposed, removal of certain permitted development rights in the interests of the character and appearance of the area. 30. Further conditions are necessary to ensure appropriate boundary treatments and a lighting strategy in the interests of neighbouring and future occupiers living conditions as well as protecting the character of the area. Conditions are required in relation to surface water and foul drainage as it is necessary for drainage to be adequately managed to avoid flooding and in the interests of water quality. A condition to ensure adherence to the EIA is necessary in the interests of biodiversity, and a condition requiring submission of details of renewable energy systems are necessary to ensure the proposal contributes to carbon reduction targets. 31. A condition is necessary to ensure access and circulation roads are provided in the interests of highway safest.

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Notwithstanding the appellant’s comments in relation to potential use of parking spaces and a suggested ‘tailpiece’ condition, given restricted on-road parking, a condition is necessary to ensure off-road parking provision is secured and retained. Such a condition would not remove the appellants statutory route to vary conditions. 32. Given the previous use of the land, a condition is required in relation to unexpected contamination in the interests of public safety, whilst a condition is also necessary to ensure appropriate refuse storage facilities are laid out and provided to prevent conflict with highway users and protect occupiers living conditions. 33. Finally, given the residential character of the area, a further condition is necessary in relation to a Construction Traffic Management Plan to ensure continued safe operation of the surrounding highway network during the construction period and to protect neighbouring occupiers living conditions. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Former Guttery Reservoir, Lower Broad Park, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6 9EY — South Hams District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/K1128/W/23/3335242 Conclusion 34. For the reasons given above and having regard to all other matters raised, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed.
