These revised https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/24/3343242 drawings include balcony screens which were granted approval1 after the appeal was submitted. Because these drawings seek to regularise a design discrepancy and do not significantly alter the nature of the original proposal, I have accepted these drawings. For these reasons, I have proceeded with the appeal on the basis of revised drawings and determined the appeal on this basis. I do not consider that the interests of any party have been prejudiced. Background and Main Issue 3. The appeal site is the subject of two recent appeal decisions2, both of which were allowed. I understand from the evidence before me that the appellants chose to build out the development containing four separate residential buildings which was approved under application reference 2020/32233 . 4. The application subject to this appeal is made under Section 73A of the Planning Act. At my site visit I observed that the development appeared to be largely complete and has been carried out without complying with a condition subject to which planning permission was granted, and an application has been made retrospectively.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised The application sought to vary Condition No 30 (approved plans) which requires the development is carried out in accordance with the approved plan. The appellant seeking to replace this condition with a varied condition specifying the plans which reflect an amended design. 5. Therefore, the main issue is the effect of the varying the condition on the character and appearance of the area. Reasons 6. The appeal site, 8-14 Oatlands Drive, comprises a rectangular parcel of land, which previously contained four residential dwellinghouses. However, these have been demolished and the site has now been redeveloped to provide four substantial, detached buildings, providing 51 self-contained flats. It is accepted by the parties that the recent development of the site to provide four large buildings has changed the character of the area, the buildings are somewhat taller than their neighbouring residential dwellings. The site is located at the very northern end of Oatlands Drive, close to the junction with Bridge Street. 7. The character of the surrounding area is predominantly residential in nature.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised The open space area of Cowey Sale lies to the rear of the site and forms part of the Green Belt, although the site itself does not fall within the Green Belt. Beyond the rear boundary of the site is the Engine River pond and a heavily wooded area. 8. This appeal seeks retrospective approval for amendments to the approved plans to include the already constructed lift overruns and adjacent smoke shafts at roof level on each of the blocks. On each of the four buildings the lift overrun, and smoke shaft have been constructed as a conjoined unit. The units are located broadly within the centre of the roof plan, but all are situated further towards the courtyard. Based on the evidence before me, this positioning would appear to be influenced by the internal layout of the 1 Planning Application Ref: 2024/0726 2 Appeal Ref: APP/K3605/W/20/3261529 and APP/K3605/W/21/3270427 3 Appeal Ref: APP/K3605/W/21/3270427 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

These revised Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/24/3343242 buildings, and the location of the lift shaft and lobby below. However, this positioning also serves to limit views of the development. 9. The development is not readily visible from Oatlands Drive immediately in front of the appeal site. The development is also only visible from certain viewpoints within the courtyard, and in glimpses from the footpaths and open space situated to the rear. When viewed in the context of the courtyard elevations, which are clearly more functional than those elevations which face towards the public realm. Nevertheless, the lift overruns and adjacent smoke shafts would involve an addition to the roof profile of the approved building, which would in turn increase the overall height and alter the profile of the buildings. However, the roof profile is already stepped, with the use of flat, boxed design elements as part of the overall building design. For these reasons, I find that the position of the units, towards the centre of the buildings and closest to the courtyard facing elevations, is such that the development does not appear unduly bulky or incongruous. 10.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised The views which are possible from the open spaces to rear comprise glimpses, rather than clear, prominent views and again these glimpses would be experienced in the context of the views of the recently constructed modern buildings. Therefore, whilst I accept that the units would be visible from certain locations, the buildings are clearly of modern construction and as such the addition would not appear out of character with the design of the building taken as a whole. Furthermore, by virtue of their location on the building, the visual impact of development is minimised in views from within the development and wider surrounding area. 11. I accept that some views of the development are possible from a distance of approximately 30 metres away on Oatlands Drive. However, whilst the development does increase the height of the building, it has been designed to be the same colour as the roof tiles, which helps assimilate it to the building design, without appearing as a unduly bulky or incongruous addition. 12. I understand from the evidence before me that the development has already been through multiple alterations.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised However, whilst the Council states these changes have eroded the character and design of the original scheme, I understand from the evidence before me, that most, if not all of the alterations applied for have been approved and therefore deemed to be acceptable. In this particular case, whilst I recognise that the development is a further change to the originally approved scheme, by virtue of the limited viewpoints and design of the existing buildings which have been constructed, the development does not cause harm to the character and appearance of the area. Furthermore, I find that it does not detract from the design quality of the existing buildings. 13. Turning to the benefits, paragraph 6.14 of the Elmbridge Local Plan Design and Character Supplementary Planning Document 2021 (SPD) states that flatted development, whether new or converted, should be designed to provide lifts to service floors above ground floor ensuring all flats are accessible. In respect of this development, the provision of lifts to all buildings enables all apartments to have level access, regardless of their location within the building. Thus, adhering to this guidance. 14.

These revised Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/24/3343242 to the relevant requirements of building regulations. However, the appellant has provided details of alternative solutions which have been considered, including a platform lift. However, based on the evidence before me, this would not be suitable for a multi-occupancy development such as this. For these reasons, I find that there is little evidence before me that an alternative provision could be secured, and even if it could, that any alternative would result in lesser change to the appearance of the building. 15. In relation to the previous decisions4, I accept that it is not possible to conclude whether or not the Inspector would have deemed the proposal to be acceptable had the lift overruns and smoke shafts been included on the proposed plans. I also note that the previous Inspector also granted approval for a different scheme, of a contemporary design and which appears to include proposals for lift overruns. However, notwithstanding this, each proposal must be considered on its own merits and although I have had regard to the previous decisions as a material consideration, it does not alter my above findings. 16.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised Consequently, I therefore conclude that the development does not cause adverse harm to the character and appearance of the area. Thus, it would comply with Policy CS17 of the Elmbridge Local Plan Core Strategy, adopted 2011 and Policy DM2 of the Elmbridge Local Plan Development Management Plan, adopted 2015, which require high quality design that would integrate sensitively with the locally distinctive townscape. The proposal would also comply with the guidance in the SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) which requires high standards of design that accord with local character. Other Matters 17. Whilst I acknowledge the third-party comments regarding the retrospective nature of the development, I considered the development on its own merits and site-specific circumstances, which in this instance, for the reasons set out above, I found to be acceptable. I have also had regard to third party concerns over whether granting planning permission would create a precedent for similar proposals elsewhere. However, my decision is based on the characteristics of this appeal site, and therefore I see no reason as to why it should set a precedent for others. 18.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised There are two Grade II Listed Buildings opposite the site at 15 and 36 Oatlands Drive. I therefore have a duty under Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting. However, the Council did not raise any specific concerns in relation to the development causing harm to their setting and based on the evidence before me, I see no reason to disagree. Conditions 19. The guidance in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) makes clear that decision notices for the grant of planning permission under section 73A should also restate the conditions imposed on earlier permissions that continue to 4 Appeal Ref: APP/K3605/W/20/3261529 and APP/K3605/W/21/3270427. 5 List Entry Number: 1030139 6 List Entry Number: 1030056 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

These revised Appeal Decision APP/K3605/W/24/3343242 have effect. The Council has identified7 those conditions imposed on the original planning permission that are still subsisting and capable of taking effect. 20. I have considered the Council’s suggested conditions against the tests in the Framework and the advice in the PPG. I have made such amendments as necessary to comply with those documents. In the event that some have in fact been discharged, that is a matter which can be addressed by the parties. 21. I have not imposed the time for commencement condition given the development has already commenced. I have imposed a condition requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the submitted plans. 22. A condition is necessary in respect of drainage to ensure that the system is constructed in accordance with the agreed scheme. A condition to control the use of imported materials is necessary to prevent the use of imported contaminated materials, to avoid environmental harm. 23.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised A number of trees within the appeal site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, therefore conditions requiring tree protection measures to be implemented, the retention and replacement of identified trees and to require tree planting to be carried out in accordance with approved details are necessary to protect the character and appearance of the area. A further condition in requiring landscaping to be carried out in accordance with the approved details is necessary to ensure a satisfactory appearance to the completed development. 24. To ensure the privacy of future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers, conditions are necessary to require obscured glazing to side windows and privacy screens to balconies. A condition preventing the use of flat roofs is necessary to protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. A further condition on sound attenuation and requiring submission of a noise assessment in respect of the substation is necessary to avoid adverse impacts on health from noise. 25.

8-14 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 9JL — Elmbridge Borough Council — the appeal the appellant has submitted further drawings. These revised Highway conditions are necessary to ensure the provision of the new vehicular and pedestrian accesses, visibility splays, parking and cycle spaces, turning areas, the closure of existing accesses and provision of electric charging points to ensure that the site operates effectively and does not prejudice highway safety. For the same reasons, in view of the scale of the development, it is appropriate to include a condition requiring works on Oatlands Drive adjacent to the site prior to occupation including bus stop upgrades, a pedestrian crossing and a “Keep Clear” road demarcation. A condition is needed to ensure refuse storage is provided in accordance with the approved plans for the convenience of occupiers and service vehicles. 26. It is necessary to include a condition requiring adherence to agreed flood mitigation measures to reduce the risk of flooding at the site and elsewhere. The Council’s suggested condition on “Secured by Design” is appropriate in the interests of creating safer communities. 27. I have also included the Council’s sensitive lighting management condition and a condition requiring adherence to the approved Ecology Report in relation to safeguarding and enhancing biodiversity.
