Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 14 January 2025 by C Carpenter BA MA MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 4th February 2025 Appeal Ref: APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 Land at Telegraph Lane, Four Marks, Alton (Grid Ref Easting: 467907, Grid Ref Northing: 134800) • 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 Jonathan Edwards (Thakeham Homes Limited) against the decision of East Hampshire District Council. • The application Ref is 60040. • The development proposed is construction of 10 detached dwellings with associated access and landscaping. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for construction of 10 detached dwellings with associated access and landscaping at land at Telegraph Lane, Four Marks, Alton (Grid Ref Easting: 467907, Grid Ref Northing: 134800) in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 60040, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2. A revised description was agreed by the Council and the appellant before the application was determined.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision I have considered the appeal on the same basis and have used the revised description in the banner heading and my decision above. 3. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) was updated in December 2024. I invited the parties to consider whether the revised Framework had relevance to this appeal and have taken account of their comments in my decision. 4. The Council is preparing a draft Local Plan, which has been the subject of consultation under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. This is an early stage in the preparation process, and I am not aware of the extent of unresolved objections or whether the draft policies will be considered as consistent with the Framework. Consequently, in accordance with Framework paragraph 49, I give this emerging Plan little weight. 5. The appellant submitted additional documents with the appeal in relation to ecology, landscape impacts and affordable housing. These documents provide further supporting information about, but do not fundamentally alter, the proposed development. Interested parties were given an opportunity to comment on the appeal.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision I am therefore satisfied there would be no injustice if I were to take these documents into account in my decision. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 Main Issues 6. The main issues are: • whether the proposal would be a suitable location in respect to adjacent settlements; • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity and protected species; and • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing. Reasons Location 7. Policies CP2 and CP10 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Joint Core Strategy 2014 (JCS) set out the spatial strategy and settlement hierarchy for the District. New housing development is directed to locations within defined settlement boundaries and allocated sites. 8. There is no dispute the appeal site, which is unallocated, lies outside the defined settlement boundary of Four Marks. It is therefore in the countryside for planning policy purposes. 9. JCS Policy CP10 states small scale development outside settlement boundaries will be permitted where it meets all of four criteria. There is no suggestion the proposal would satisfy all of these, or that the development would provide affordable housing for rural communities in accordance with all the requirements under Policy CP14.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Further, the parties agree the proposal would not accord with JCS Policies CP19 and CP6, which support development outside settlements if it can demonstrate a genuine need for a countryside location. Policy 1 of the Melstead & Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan 2016 (MFMNP) supports development on land within the settlement boundary. The proposal would therefore conflict with these Policies. 10. However, the appeal site adjoins the boundary of Four Marks, which is identified as a Small Local Service Centre (SLSC) in the JCS. The settlement’s services and facilities would be within some 15 to 20 minutes’ walk of the site along Telegraph Lane and Winchester Road, which have footways, or via an existing footpath. I consider this to be a reasonable walking distance for many people, even if it is slightly longer than recommended in guidance such as the Manual for Streets and notwithstanding that the route is partly unlit. The cycling time for the same routes would be significantly shorter. Some existing dwellings in Four Marks are already located at a similar or greater distance from the services.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision There are also bus-stops on Winchester Road within about 10 minutes’ walk along Telegraph Lane, serving a bus route to the much larger conurbations at Alton and Winchester. 11. Although there is no footway or speed restriction on Alton Road, the development would provide a foot/cyclepath link onto Telegraph Lane with a dropped kerb and tactile paving, which could be secured via condition. 12. Taking all this together, I find the proximity of the SLSC would help reduce the need to travel, and the accessibility of the location would be acceptable with a genuine choice of transport modes. Therefore, although many journeys could be made by https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 car including for work, there would be real alternatives. This would be broadly consistent with the overarching objective of JCS Policy CP2 to direct development to the most accessible locations. It would also support the objective in both JCS Policy CS31 and the Framework to promote sustainable travel. 13. Consequently, whilst I conclude the proposal would not be in a suitable location with respect to adjacent settlements, contrary to JCS Policies CP2, CP6, CP10, CP14 and CP19 and MFMNP Policy 1, I ascribe only moderate negative weight to the resulting harm. Biodiversity and protected species 14. The Council initially found insufficient information to demonstrate an acceptable impact on biodiversity and protected species, based on a series of questions raised by its ecology advisor. The appellant has responded to these questions in the additional material submitted with the appeal and the Council has confirmed in a signed statement of common ground (SoCG) that it is now satisfied with the information provided. On the evidence before me, I see no reason to disagree. 15.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision The additional information includes confirmation that there would be no adverse impact from the proposed access arrangements on Alton Road to the Roadside Verge of Ecological Importance or Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). 16. The SoCG includes a slightly revised layout plan for the proposed development, showing how the garage at Plot 10 could be moved a few metres away from the boundary with 86 Telegraph Lane to accommodate a wider buffer between the garage and existing hedgerow. This buffer is necessary because the hedgerow is a priority habitat. The parties agree the revised layout would be a minor non-material change to the proposed development. I concur. The change would also result in a modest improvement to the effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers. I am therefore satisfied no injustice would result from the repositioning of the garage on Plot 10 if it were secured via condition. 17. A wildlife protection and mitigation plan and a habitat enhancement plan could also be secured by condition.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision These would be necessary to protect the hedgerows, SINC, mature trees, breeding birds and protected species, including hazel dormice and bats, on and around the site; and to remove non-native invasive species. 18. For the above reasons, and subject to the aforementioned conditions, I conclude the proposal would have an acceptable effect on biodiversity and protected species. It would therefore accord with JCS Policy CP21, which requires development proposals to maintain, enhance and protect the District’s biodiversity and surrounding environment. Affordable housing 19. JCS Policy CP13 requires all development involving delivery of net additional dwellings to contribute towards the provision of affordable housing. The Policy allows this by way of a financial contribution where on-site provision is likely to be unsuitable. In this instance, the parties agree a payment in lieu of on-site provision would be the most effective way for the proposed development to contribute to the provision of affordable housing suitable for local needs. On the evidence before https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 me, which includes emails confirming local Registered Providers’ unwillingness to purchase small numbers of affordable dwellings, I concur. 20. The appellant has submitted an executed legal agreement, in the form of a unilateral undertaking, which includes an obligation under which the owner of the appeal site would contribute £902,871.50 index linked to be used towards affordable housing in the East Hampshire District Council Area; and an additional fee of £17,000 towards the Council’s administrative costs for monitoring compliance with the provisions of the deed. 21. The size of the affordable housing contribution has been agreed by the Council, using a tariff-based formula. The monitoring fee is less than two percent of the value of this contribution, which is below the maximum five per cent set out in the Council’s published approach to such charges. I consider this to be a reasonable administration fee relative to the size of the contribution to be monitored. 22.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision I am therefore satisfied on the evidence before me that the proposed affordable housing contribution and associated monitoring fee are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development, and fairly and reasonably related to it in scale and kind. Consequently, I find the planning obligation meets the three tests in Regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 and Framework paragraph 58, and I give it significant weight in my decision. 23. As there would be no on-site affordable housing, the proposal would not qualify as a rural exception site under JCS Policy CP14. Nevertheless, for the above reasons, I conclude the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing, in accordance with JCS Policy CP13. Other Matters 24. The appeal site is in the vicinity of the Grade II listed building known as ‘Semaphore Farm and Boundary Stones’, also known as Telegraph House. The building’s significance as a heritage asset is historic, owing to its original use as one of the stations of the semaphore telegraph in the early 19th century, and architectural, as the building is little altered.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Two small stone pillars define the original boundary of the site, which therefore forms part of the setting of the listed building. This setting also includes the section of Telegraph Lane from which the building’s architectural and historic significance can be appreciated. 25. There would be little inter-visibility between the listed building and the proposed development and there is no suggestion of an historic functional relationship between it and the appeal site. The development would be on the opposite side of, and further along, Telegraph Lane, so there would be few if any nearby views that encompass both it and the listed building. I therefore find the setting of the listed building would be preserved and there would be no harm to its significance as a heritage asset. 26. There are existing dwellings opposite or adjacent to all four sides of the appeal site and it is visually well contained by hedgerows and trees, so the site is not primarily seen in the context of the surrounding countryside or the nearby National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision The proposed layout, scale and style of dwellings would integrate appropriately with the existing pattern of frontage development along Telegraph and Alton Lanes, where the size and https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 appearance of existing houses is varied. The appeal site therefore differs from the site at 54-58 Telegraph Lane brought to my attention, which is in a back land location adjoining open fields. Compatible materials, finishes and landscaping could be secured via condition. Taking all this together, I find the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area would be acceptable and in accordance with the objectives of JCS Policies CP20 and CP29 on landscape and design. 27. Each dwelling would have a private garden, and new residents would also be able to make use of existing communal spaces and facilities within Four Marks, which would contribute positively to social integration and cohesion. I am therefore unpersuaded by concerns about an absence of social space within the development. There is also little to substantiate the suggestions that the site is needed for a new school, that its development would have a significant adverse impact on farming, that overhead power cables would harm heath, or that this scheme would lead to further development nearby.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Each proposal must be determined on its individual planning merits, and I have considered this appeal on the evidence before me. 28. Residents have expressed a wide range of other concerns including, but not limited to the following: capacity of local infrastructure, flood risk, traffic, highway safety, the junction between Telegraph Lane and the A31, impact on St Swithin’s Way, archaeology, light, and the effect on living conditions for neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance. These matters were considered where relevant by the Council at the application stage and did not form part of the reasons for refusal, which I have dealt with in the assessment above. The Council has a CIL charging schedule for improvements to local infrastructure. There is no compelling evidence before me that would lead me to come to a different conclusion to the Council on these matters, subject to conditions necessary to manage surface and foul water drainage and protect archaeology. Planning Balance 29. The parties agree the Council is unable to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Even if I take the Council’s higher figure of 3.59 years, this is considerably below the required level and there is no pertinent evidence of enough suitable and currently available brownfield sites to make up this shortfall. Further, the JCS and MFMNP are considerably older than five years and not fully consistent with the new Framework in their calculation of the housing requirement for the area. In these circumstances, Framework paragraph 11d) is engaged. 30. The proposal would contribute ten dwellings to local housing supply, as well as a financial contribution towards delivery of affordable housing within the District. Given the considerable shortfall in overall supply and evidence of unmet need for affordable housing, even if the identified requirement for new housing in the MFMNP area has been delivered I give this provision of additional housing substantial weight. 31. In addition, the development would support the local economy through construction and future occupiers’ use of local services and facilities and help maintain the vitality of a rural community. I ascribe significant weight to this benefit. 32.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision I have found many aspects of the proposal, including its effect on biodiversity and affordable housing provision, accord with the development plan. Whilst the https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/M1710/W/24/3349565 locational harm I have found means it conflicts with the plan read as a whole, I have given only moderate weight to this harm. Consequently, I find the adverse impacts of granting permission would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the development identified above. Conditions 33. I have considered the conditions put forward by the Council and have amended the wording where necessary in the interests of clarity and simplicity. I invited the main parties to comment on the conditions and have taken account of their responses. The appellant has agreed to the pre-commencement conditions. 34. In addition to the standard time limit condition, I have imposed a condition requiring that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved plans. This is in the interest of certainty. 35. The conditions in relation to the repositioning of the garage at Plot 10, biodiversity, landscape/ habitat protection and enhancement, surface water drainage, archaeology, sewage, materials and access are necessary for the reasons noted above.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision Other than those pertaining to sewage, materials and access, these are pre- commencement conditions because the details need to be agreed to protect and mitigate impacts on protected species, habitats and archaeology and incorporate suitable drainage measures before work on site commences. 36. Further pre-commencement conditions are necessary to require investigation and remediation of land contamination before construction begins; and to secure a Construction Environmental Management Plan to protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and highway safety throughout construction. 37. The condition to secure at least 10 per cent of energy supply from decentralised and renewable or low carbon energy sources is necessary to comply with JCS Policy CP24. It is a pre-commencement condition because scheme design for this provision could have implications for preparatory works on site. 38. Conditions to secure appropriate parking space for cars and bicycles are necessary in the interests of highway safety and to promote cycling as an alternative to private car use. 39.

Land East of Lanark Cottage, Alton Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AL — East Hampshire District Council — Appeal Decision The justification for the Council’s suggested conditions relating to noise mitigation for future occupiers of the development is not sufficiently clear or evidence-based to meet the test of necessity. Conclusion 40. I have found the proposal conflicts with the development plan, read as a whole. However, other material considerations, including the Framework, indicate that a decision should be taken otherwise than in accordance with it. Therefore, the appeal should be allowed.
