Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 28 January 2025 by B Davies MSc FGS CGeol an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 25 February 2025 Appeal Ref: APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire, SO52 9DP • 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 Stratland Commercial Ltd against the decision of Test Valley Borough Council. • The application reference is 23/03214/FULLS. • The development proposed is the erection of 16 light industrial units (E(g)(iii) use) and an office (E(g)(i) use) including access, parking, landscaping and drainage. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the erection of 16 light industrial units (E(g)(iii) use) and an office (E(g)(i) use) including access, parking, landscaping and drainage at Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, Southampton, in accordance with the terms of the application, reference 23/03214/FULLS and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary matters 2.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision A revised National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) was issued on 12 December 2024. The main parties were given the opportunity to comment on the implications of this for their cases. References to the Framework below relate to the latest version. 3. The appellant latterly requested that the development should allow for B2 and B8 uses based on the needs identified for the emerging plan. This would be a significant departure from what was applied for, and the Council and interested parties have not had the opportunity to respond to this. I have therefore not amended the description in this way. Main issues 4. The main issues are: • whether the location is suitable for employment use, and • the effect on the character and appearance of the area. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 Reasons Suitability of the location for employment use 5. The site is located beyond the settlement boundary and therefore in the ‘countryside’ as defined by the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) (the Local Plan). The proposal does not meet any of the exceptions for development in this location listed in Policy COM2. 6. The purposes of the policy are to ensure proximity to facilities and to maintain sustainable settlements. In this case, the site is immediately adjacent to the settlement boundary of ‘major centre’ Romsey and close to the settlement of North Baddesley, a ‘key service centre’. This means that the site is in proximity to recognised, established facilities and would likely contribute to maintenance of these. This limits the harm from conflict with the policy. 7. Use of a location beyond the settlement boundary for employment use is not consistent with the requirements of Policy COM2 of the Local Plan. However, for the reasons above the harm from this conflict is limited. Character and appearance of the area 8. The land comprises a partly wooded paddock, largely surrounded by trees and high hedges.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision It is accessed from Botley Road via a tall metal gate and a gravel lane, which continues onwards to the nearby farm buildings. 9. The site is in the ‘Romsey - North Baddesley Local Gap’. Policy E3 of the Local Plan states that development can be permitted if it does not diminish the physical separation and visual separation between the settlements or compromise the integrity of the gap. This is for the purpose of protecting the character of the countryside and shaping the settlement pattern of an area. 10. Development at this location would move the edge of built development in Romsey into the gap towards North Baddesley. At this location the gap between the settlements is small and any built form would inevitably diminish physical separation. However, the proposed buildings would largely be arranged in two narrow strips running parallel to existing development, which would minimise the intrusion. 11. When approaching from the east, the site is not easily visible until past the adjacent farm buildings. From this location the view of the site is dominated by tall, dense trees, with glimpses of the industrial estate behind.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision When approached from the west, views of the site are longer but also largely filtered through trees, even in winter. 12. The only clear and significant view of the site from the public domain is therefore over the hedgerows from Botley Road. Widening of the site entrance would make the site more visible from this location. It would be apparent that the site was an industrial estate rather than in agricultural use and this would cause the visual separation between the settlements to diminish. 13. Introduction of industrial buildings, associated access road and a wider, tarmac entrance and loss of grassland would lead to urbanisation of the site and the current characteristic ‘openness’ would be reduced. In this regard, the proposal would not positively integrate into the landscape character of the area. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 14. However, it is proposed to retain almost all the trees and hedges, which provide valuable screening of the site from the public domain. There would be significant additional landscape planting, including new trees. Lighting and finishing materials can be controlled through conditions on the permission to control the impact on the character and appearance of the area. These measures would minimise the harm to the visual separation between settlements and urbanisation of the site’s character. 15. In addition, views are narrow and fleeting because people would be travelling by car along the fast and busy road. There are also views into the site from the opposite footway, which I observed was sporadically used by walkers and cyclists. However, these views into the site would be limited in extent, and the harm minimised through the mitigation measures. 16. Although narrow at this location, sufficient gap would remain that the area would continue to read as two separate settlements. The character of Botley Road between the settlements would remain dominated by fields and rural uses, including a garden business and farm sheds.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision I am satisfied that the modest physical extent of this proposal, limited visibility and proposed mitigation measures mean that the integrity of the gap would not be harmed. 17. In conclusion, there would be some negative effect on the character and appearance of the area from a reduction in both the physical and visual separation between settlements, urbanisation of the locality and a reduction in openness, in conflict with Policies E2 and E3 of the Local Plan, which together protect the character the landscape. However, for the reasons above, the harm from this would be limited. Other considerations Need for employment sites 18. The Council states that the employment allocation in the current plan has not been delivered and is unlikely to be delivered in the near future. Recent studies associated with the emerging plan identify a need in the Southern Test Valley of over 40 ha of employment land and the Council conclude that there is a clear immediate and long- term need for additional employment land in the borough. 19. The application was supported by a Needs Assessment Report (November 2023).

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision This concludes that supply in Romsey is extremely limited and there is a significant undersupply of suitable industrial space within Southern Test Valley. The Council has not challenged this, and I see no reason to doubt the findings. It is therefore not in dispute that there is a pressing employment need locally, both immediate and in the future. 20. I have not been provided with a local policy that supports a general increase in employment land. However, it has been brought to my attention by the Council that paragraph 85 of the Framework, which is an important material consideration, states that significant weight should be placed on the need to support economic growth, taking into account local business needs. 21. Related to this, it has been proposed that an Employment and Skills Plan is secured by a condition on the permission. This would be targeted at the provision of learning and apprenticeship opportunities during the construction phase of the development. This https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 would also contribute to supporting economic growth locally, in accordance with the Framework. 22. I conclude that there is a significant and immediate need for employment land locally. The proposal, including commitment to an Employment and Skills Plan, are matters of significant positive weight according to the policies in the Framework. Biodiversity 23. There is no policy requirement to deliver 10% Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) for applications made prior to February 2024, as in this case. For this reason, and allowing for the modest size of the development, I consider that the commitment to over 25% BNG would be a small benefit in favour of the development. Other matters 24. The Ecological Impact Assessment identifies the site as being of ‘regional value’ for commuting and foraging by several species of bat. Woodland and scattered trees located on site all represent suitable habitats for breeding and nesting birds. The ecology officer has not raised any objection to the scheme, subject to a condition requiring that the mitigation measures outlined in the report are secured. I see no reason to come to a different conclusion. 25.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Interested parties raised concerns regarding pollution and noise from the proposal. Class E(g) uses are those that can be carried out in a residential area without detriment to the amenity of that area by reason of, amongst other things, noise, smell and smoke. In addition, conditions are proposed that would control noise, hours of operation, construction and light. Accordingly, I am satisfied that there would be sufficient control, in addition to statutory requirements, on emissions from the development such that local amenity would be protected. 26. Given the surrounding woodland and distance of more that 150 m to local housing, I am also content that there would be no detrimental impact from overlooking, overbearing or shadowing. 27. Interested parties also raised concerns about the effect of increased traffic movements on highway safety and suitability of the proposed access. The number of additional traffic movements was not found to be detrimental by the Highways Officer and I see no reason to come to a different conclusion, given the modest size of the development.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision I observed that the current access is adequate to enter and leave the site safely, and a condition can be imposed to ensure appropriate visibility splays are maintained. It is also proposed that a condition to ensure adequate turning space on the site is imposed. Safe pedestrian and cycle access to the wider network would also be secured. 28. I have noted the concerns raised regarding potential cumulative effects with other new local developments, including on highway safety and pollution. I do not have any substantive information about these developments and their potential effects before me on which to base such an assessment. However, for the reasons above, I am satisfied that, in any event, there would be no harm to highway safety or the environment from the proposal. 29. The site has been allocated for employment in the emerging plan and there is debate between the main parties about how much weight this should attract. Beyond noting https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 that there is nothing in the emerging plan that would introduce new impediments to the proposal, I have not had to rely on it and have therefore not considered it further. Conditions 30. The numbers below relate to the corresponding condition in the attached schedule. 31. I have considered the suggested conditions put forward by the Council against the tests set out in the Framework and Planning Practice Guidance. I impose most of the conditions, amending some wording in the interests of conciseness, precision and enforceability. I have amended the pre-commencement clause in several conditions where such details could reasonably be submitted prior to above ground development. The appellant has agreed to the remaining pre-commencement conditions in writing. 32. Condition [1] limits the life of the planning permission. The Council requested that the standard period for commencement be shortened from 3 to 2 years because the development is reliant on an existing need for employment land. I have nothing before me to suggest that this situation is likely to be remedied in 2 years and have therefore not imposed this restriction. 33.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Condition [2] specifies the plans in the interests of certainty. The version numbers have been corrected. Reference to the tree pit drawing and landscaping plan are moved to the relevant conditions to improve their enforceability. 34. Condition [3] is required prior to commencement to protect any archaeology, given that the site is potentially of significance. The condition was amended to remove reference to ‘within the application site/area indicated red’ for the purposes of clarity and now clearly applies to the entire site. I have augmented the proposed wording to make it clear that a written scheme of investigation must be implemented. 35. The requirement for a Construction Traffic and Environmental Management Plan prior to commencement [4] is for the purpose of protecting local amenities, avoiding and mitigating effects on biodiversity, and in the interests of highway safety. Condition [5] protects existing trees and natural features during the construction phase for the purposes of preserving biodiversity, and character and appearance. 36. An Employment and Skills Plan must be approved prior to commencement [6].

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision This is targeted at the provision of learning and apprenticeship opportunities during the construction, and I have imposed it in the interests of economic development. 37. Condition [7] is necessary to control the timing of construction to protect local amenities. Condition [8] ensures that any contaminated material encountered is appropriately dealt with. Condition [9] ensures protection of protected species and secures the mitigation, compensation and enhancements outlined in the Ecological Impact Assessment. 38. A condition to control the finishing materials [10] is necessary to ensure that the buildings have a satisfactory external appearance. 39. Condition [11] is necessary to ensure that the development cannot be occupied until the landscaping works are carried out in accordance with the submitted scheme. I have removed the detailed list of requirements because the condition secures the need to agree the landscaping, which will necessarily include any relevant details. This secures the 25% BNG, as calculated in the ‘Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment, https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 Monitoring and Management Plan’ (ecosupport, 9 November 2023). I have removed the requirement for details secured elsewhere to avoid duplication and those items that are not relevant to the scheme, such as play equipment. I have removed the unnecessary requirement for a replacement tree scheme [12] to be submitted prior to commencement. Together, these conditions ensure that the character and appearance of the site is protected in the interest of visual amenity. 40. The requirement for a pedestrian and cycle crossing [13] is changed from being pre- commencement. The purpose is to ensure that the site can be safely accessed by pedestrians and cyclists once the site is occupied. Both parties have confirmed that the land belongs to the Highways Authority, and Council states that new pedestrian crossing works have been agreed in principle with HCC. I am therefore satisfied that the scheme is deliverable. I have referenced plan 115.0004-0006 P01 to ensure that the details are enforceable. This condition also secures the visibility splays illustrated, which are shown on the same plan, for the purpose of highway safety. 41.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision A condition to control parking and manoeuvring [14] is required in the interests of highway safety. A requirement to control lighting [15] is necessary to safeguard the amenities of the area and in the interest of protected species. I have added a clause to ensure that the development cannot be occupied until these are achieved. 42. Condition [16] secures efficient water use, in accordance with Policy E7 [16]. Reference to ‘Wat 1’ is to limit the required BREEAM rating to measures of efficiency rather than impose the wider Wat categories under BREEAM. 43. A condition to address flooding and drainage [17] is necessary to ensure proper management of surface water and to ensure foul water is connected to the mains supply. 44. Controls on the external storage of waste [18], refrigerated storage and lorries [19] and on the noise from external fixed plant or mechanical equipment [20] are necessary to protect the amenities and character of the area. 45. I have imposed, in part, the Council’s recommended condition [21] to limit the premises to light industry and an office because other uses would not necessarily contribute to the identified employment need.

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision However, any change to Class B2 would require planning permission and I have therefore not found it necessary to include this restriction. Planning balance and conclusion 46. The site is beyond the settlement boundary and the proposal would not meet any of the exceptions for development at this location. However, given the proximity of the site to nearby centres the harm from this is limited. There would also be a small degree of harm to the character and appearance of the area, in conflict with local policy, including through a reduction in the Local Gap. 47. Set against this, the development would provide much needed employment land and opportunity, which is a matter of significant positive weight according to national policies. The commitment to a high level of biodiversity net gain is of small beneficial weight. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 6

Land east of Premier Way and South of Botley Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, Hampshire — Test Valley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/C1760/W/24/3350079 48.
