Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 11 June 2025 by E Pickernell BSc MSC MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 10 October 2025 Appeal Ref: APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) against a refusal to grant outline planning permission. • The appeal is made by Hallam Land Management and Velcourt Group Limited against the decision of Wiltshire Council. • The application Ref is 20/11598/OUT. • The development proposed is the erection of up-to 49 dwellings, accesses from Church Road, Green Infrastructure including landscaping and children’s play, a sustainable urban drainage system and utility buildings. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the erection of up-to 49 dwellings, accesses from Church Road, Green Infrastructure including landscaping and children’s play, a sustainable urban drainage system and utility buildings at Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 20/11598/OUT, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Amended plans were received during the course of the application which had the effect of reducing the number of dwellings proposed. I have therefore taken the description of development in the banner heading above, from the decision notice as it more accurately describes the proposal. 3. The appeal scheme relates to an outline proposal with access only to be determined at this stage and matters relating to appearance, landscaping, layout and scale are reserved for future consideration. I have considered the appeal accordingly and treated the plans as indicative in respect of the reserved matters. 4. The appeal site lies within the catchment of the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC), the Zones of Influence (ZOI) of the Great Yews Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)/SAC, the Salisbury Plan SPA, the Porton Down SPA and the New Forest SAC/SPA/Ramsar/SSSI site. Although not included as a reason for refusal by the Council, I am required to consider whether the proposed development would be likely to have a significant effect on the sites, and if so, as the competent authority, assess the implications of the effect of the proposal on the site’s conservation objectives under an appropriate assessment.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 Background and Main Issues 5. The Council refused planning permission for one reason which relates to conflict with the development plan for the area. The Council stated in its appeal statement that it would not defend the reason for refusal, because under the provisions of the current iteration of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) a five- year housing land supply cannot be demonstrated. As such it has no planning objections to the proposed development, subject to the satisfactory completion of a planning obligation. 6. 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, public open space and play areas, bus passes and cycle vouchers, early years education contributions, youth and adult provision contributions, waste and recycling containers contribution, highway works, New Forest Recreation Mitigation Contribution and phosphate monitoring fee and mitigation. I will consider this further below. 7.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Despite the position of the Council, the matters referred to in the reason for refusal have been raised by interested parties, along with several other matters. 8. Therefore, the main issues are: • whether the appeal site is a suitable location of housing with particular regard to the development plan policies for the area; and • the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of protected species. Reasons Suitable location 9. The appeal site is located off Church Road towards the north of the village in a field which is located between an employment site to the south and a small group of residential properties to the north. 10. The Wiltshire Core Strategy (Adopted January 2015) (WCS) seeks to guide new housing development to settlements with good access to services and facilities and set out a hierarchy in respect of this. Laverstock is a small village, defined under CP23 of the WCS where CP2 sets out that new development will be limited to infill within the existing built-up area. 11.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The Laverstock and Ford Communities Neighbourhood Plan 2021 – 2036 (Made October 2022) (NDP) expands on this requirement, explaining that infill development is the filling of a small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, large enough for a few dwellings, generally one or two. Although the appeal site is located in a gap between development, given the quantum of development proposed and the overall size and depth of the appeal site, I do not consider that it could reasonably be described as infill development. 12. A new local plan for Wiltshire and has been submitted for examination. Policy 30 of the draft plan would allocate land to the east of Church Road for approximately 50 dwellings. However, no findings have been published, and it is therefore not https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 certain that it will be adopted in its current form. I therefore attach only limited weight to this emerging policy. 13. As such the appeal site is not a suitable location for housing with particular regard to the development plan policies for the area. The proposal would therefore conflict with CP 1, 2 and 23 of the WCS and the NDP which together seek to limit development in small villages to that on infill sites. Habitats sites River Avon SAC 14. The River Avon SAC is designated as it provides habitat for vegetation, snails and several species of fish in both the main river and its tributaries. The mosaic of aquatic habitats includes extensive areas of gravels essential for spawning and growth of juvenile fry. The conservation objectives of the SAC are to ensure that the integrity of the site is maintained or restored as appropriate. 15. The appeal site is within the catchment of the SAC and has the potential to cause significant adverse effects through the discharge of phosphorus in waste water, either alone or in combination with other developments.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The Councils Revised Nutrient Neutrality Strategy (February 2024) sets out a council-led strategy for securing mitigation in order to achieve phosphorus neutrality, however it also states that other options such as securing mitigation through private providers, as well as delivery of bespoke solutions on-site where possible can also be progressed by developers. 16. In this instance mitigation is proposed by way of a Fallow Land Management Plan1, the implementation of which would be secured through the planning obligation. This would involve taking 7.05 ha land out of agricultural production. 1.15 ha of the land would be planted with native woodland, and the remainder would revert to low maintenance grassland. Natural England has confirmed that it has no objection to this approach but that the scheme must also ensure that the land is not grazed by livestock during the period it is fallowed. Subject to the prevention of grazing of livestock on this land, I am satisfied that adverse significant effects from the scheme could be avoided. 17. Neither the Fallow Land Management Plan nor the signed planning obligation would have the effect of restricting grazing.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision A deed of variation would therefore be required to secure this which could be achieved via a ‘Grampian’ condition. Planning Practice Guidance (PPG)2 states that in exceptional circumstances a negatively worded condition requiring a planning obligation or other agreement to be entered into before certain development can commence may be appropriate, where there is clear evidence that the delivery of the development would otherwise be at serious risk. In such cases the 6 tests set out in PPG3 should also be met. 18. In the absence of such a condition, I could not be certain that the land in question would not be grazed by livestock and that the potential effects of the proposed development on the SAC would be fully mitigated. In such circumstances, it would be necessary to dismiss the appeal. This would put the delivery of the development 1 Prepared by FCPR, 13 February 2024 2 Paragraph: 010 Reference ID: 21a-010-20190723 3 Paragraph: 003 Reference ID: 21a-003-20190723 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 at serious risk. Furthermore, the condition would be necessary and relevant to planning, and the development as it would be required to ensure essential mitigation in order to avoid significant adverse effects on the SAC, arising from the development. The condition would be enforceable as development could not commence until compliance had occurred and would be precise as it would relate to a very specific requirement. As such I conclude that such a condition would be reasonable and meet the 6 tests and that in the specific circumstances of this case, is appropriate. 19. Consequently, I am satisfied that subject to the imposition of a condition requiring a deed of variation to the planning obligation to prevent grazing of the fallow land, the development would not have an adverse impact on the River Avon SAC. New Forest SAC/SPA/Ramsar/SSSI 20. The New Forest is designated as an SAC for its mosaic of habitats including fens, woodland, heaths, meadows, and water bodies. Qualifying species include Great Crested Newt, Southern Damselfly and Stage Beetle. It is designated as an SPA due to the presence of protected bird species.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The objectives of the SPA and SAC are to ensure that the integrity of the sites is maintained or restored. The appeal site lies within the 13.8km ZOI of the sites and has the potential to cause significant adverse effects to them through increased recreational pressure, either alone or in combination with other development. 21. The Council’s Interim Recreation Mitigation Strategy for the New Forest Internationally Protected Sites (January 2022) (the mitigation strategy) sets out a strategy for mitigating the effects of recreational pressure. On smaller housing schemes, this strategy includes securing contributions towards the strategic provision of Suitable Accessible Natural Greenspace (SANG) and access and visitor management within the New Forest. In this instance, mitigation is proposed by way of a financial contribution of £29,400 in accordance with the strategy, secured through the signed planning obligation. 22. Natural England is satisfied that provided the contribution to the mitigation strategy is secured then the proposals would not result in adverse effects on the integrity of the New Forest Designated Sites.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The mitigation strategy confirms the way in which the money should be spent, and the Council is a responsible and accountable public body. In such circumstances, I am satisfied that the financial contribution would lead to effective mitigation. Porton Down SPA 23. Porton Down is designated as an SPA due to the presence of breeding Stone Curlew. The conservation objectives are to ensure that the integrity of the site is maintained or restored as appropriate and to ensure the site contributes to the aims of the Wild Birds Directive4. Given the distance between the appeal site and the SPA and the fact that public access is restricted there is no mechanism for significant adverse effects to occur and therefore no mitigation is proposed. Natural England are satisfied that the SPA can be screened out of further assessment and on this basis, I am also satisfied that the proposals would not result in adverse effects on the integrity of the designated site. 4 2009/147/EC https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 Salisbury Plan SPA 24. The Salisbury Plain SPA is designated as it provides habitat for wild birds including the Hen Harrier, Eurasian Hobby, Common Quail and Stone-curlew. The conservation objectives of the SPA are to ensure that the integrity of the site is maintained or restored as appropriate and ensure that the site contributes to achieving the aims of the Birds Directive. The appeal site lies within the buffer zone for the SPA where it has been established that additional residential development has the potential to increase visitor numbers and recreational pressures on the protected sites, with associated harmful impacts on the birds. Either alone or together with other developments in the area, there would therefore be a likely significant effect on the SPA. 25. The Council’s HRA and Mitigation Strategy for Salisbury Plain SPA (in relation to recreational pressure from residential development) (Reviewed in June 2024) document sets out a strategy to identify, avoid and mitigate any potential effects of increasing recreational pressure on the SPA. This includes Stone-curlew monitoring and management, advice to landowners and tenants, and visitor monitoring. 26.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Wiltshire Council is a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging authority. Its adopted Regulation 123 list includes funding for “Stone-curlew and Salisbury Plain Special Protection Area”. It is proposed to secure the necessary mitigation through a CIL payment. Natural England has confirmed it is satisfied that this would be effective in avoiding harmful impacts arising from recreational pressure on the SPA. Because the funds are ring-fenced annually prior to spending on any other infrastructure item I am satisfied that the mitigation would be secured and that the development would not have an adverse impact on the Salisbury Plain SPA. Cockey Down SSSI 27. Cockey Down SSSI is relatively close to the appeal site, however it is not part of a designated European site. The features of interest include the flora and fauna, including species of orchid, grasses and insects. I note the concerns raised regarding the survey of visitors to Cockey Down, however Natural England is satisfied that the increase in recreational pressure on the SSSI that will result from the revised scheme is unlikely to harm its interest features. 28.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision It is understood that the appellant has previously allowed the Wildlife Trust to access through the site on an informal basis. Whilst the layout of the site is yet to be established, the indicative plans suggest that this part of the site would be unchanged. Consequently, I do not consider that a condition in respect of access would be reasonable. Natural England has requested a contribution towards the management costs of the SSSI. However, on the basis that any increased recreational pressure would not result in harm, I am not convinced that such contributions would be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms and as such would not meet the tests in regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations. Overall findings 29. Overall, following an appropriate assessment, the proposals would not adversely affect the integrity of these habitat sites. Therefore, the scheme may proceed under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 Other Matters 30. The Council acknowledges that it is unable to demonstrate a five-year supply of housing land. Under the requirements of the current iteration of the Framework, the Council can now demonstrate only 2.03 years of housing supply. This represents a significant shortfall in housing provision in the area. Set against this, the proposal would deliver up to 49 dwellings, 40% of which would be affordable homes. This would make a notable contribution towards housing supply in Wiltshire. Given the extent of the shortfall, I give significant weight to the contribution the appeal scheme would make to housing supply. 31. The proposal would also bring about economic benefits including jobs during the construction phase and local expenditure by future residents. Social benefits would occur as a result of new residents supporting local services as well as other benefits such as the provision of play facilities, efficient homes and biodiversity improvements. Together, I give these benefits moderate weight. 32. A significant number of comments have been made by interested parties which I have taken into account.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision In respect of highway safety and congestion matters, I note that the local highway authority has raised no objection to the proposal subject to the provision of physical works including new crossings, bus shelters and active travel measures which would be secured via the planning obligation. No substantive evidence has been put to me which demonstrates that there would be any significant impacts in respect of highway safety, congestion and any noise or pollution arising as a result, which could not be successfully mitigated. 33. The Council did not refuse the application due to concerns about character and appearance or landscape matters, including public views towards Cockey Down. The indicative plans demonstrate that a layout could come forward which would maintain a significant amount of open space, allowing some views towards Cockey Down from Church Road to be maintained above and between areas of development. The appearance of the site would inevitably change as a result of the development. However, I am satisfied that this would not have a significantly harmful effect on the landscape character of the area or the setting of the village. 34.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The application was assessed by the Council’s drainage advisors who concluded that the proposed development would not be at risk of flooding and would not result in flood risk elsewhere. Further details in respect of drainage would come forward through the submission of reserved matters, however there is no substantive evidence before me that the proposal would not result in a significant increase in flooding or that any impacts could not be satisfactorily mitigated. 35. Concerns have been raised that the local infrastructure could not support the proposal including schools, local facilities, public transport, and sewerage. These matters have been assessed by the Council and consultees who have raised no concerns which could not be adequately dealt with via planning obligations or conditions. In the absence of substantive evidence to the contrary, I have no reason to disagree with their conclusions. 36. The affordable housing element of the proposal would be secured via planning obligations and conditions would ensure that a programme of archaeological investigations is submitted to the Council, and that ecology is protected and enhanced.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 appeal would give rise to further applications; however, I must assess the appeal before me on its own merits. Planning Obligation 37. In addition to the obligations to secure mitigation in respect of protected habitats site, the submitted obligation makes provision for the provision of 40% on-site affordable housing in order to ensure that the proposal accords with CP 43 of the WCS. The obligation makes provision for the submission, implementation and management of open space and play areas as well as a contribution to youth/adult provision of £451.79 per dwelling. These obligations are necessary to ensure that adequate provision is made for open space in accordance with CP52 of the WCS. 38. The obligation provides for bus passes and cycle vouchers as well as the provision of pedestrian crossings and a bus shelter which are necessary to ensure that safe and suitable transport and travel opportunities are available to future occupiers in accordance with CP62 of the WCS. A contribution of £2,145.55 is necessary to make the necessary early-years education provision for the children who would occupy the dwellings.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision In addition, a contribution of £101 per dwelling is necessary to provide the necessary containers to ensure that waste and recycling is appropriately stored. 39. 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 58 of the Framework. Planning Balance 40. The proposal would conflict with CP 1, 2 and 23 of the WCS and the NDP because the site is in a small village, outside of a settlement boundary and is not infill. However, because the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, these policies which relate to the delivery of housing are deemed to be out of date. Consequently, paragraph 11d) of the Framework is engaged. 41. The provision of up to 49 dwellings, including affordable dwellings, and the associated social and economic benefits are positive aspects of the scheme to which I collectively attach significant weight.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision The scheme would not adversely effect the integrity of protected habitats sites. However, this is a neutral factor. 42. The adverse impact arising from a conflict with the above-mentioned policies would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. Consequently, the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies and this indicates that permission should be granted. Conditions 43. I have had regard to the suggested conditions proposed by the Council. Where necessary, I have undertaken some minor editing and rationalisation where they meet the tests set out in paragraph 57 of the Framework in the interests of precision and clarity. In addition to those conditions which I have already referred to https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 7

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/Y3940/W/25/3359108 in my decision and the standard time limit and “reserved matters” conditions, I have imposed a condition specifying the approved plans in the interests of certainty. I have included the parameter plans which the parties agree is necessary. 44. Details of a sustainable water drainage scheme are required to ensure that adequate drainage is provided and to avoid flooding. A condition in respect of an archaeological field evaluation is necessary to ensure that any archaeological remains present at the site are protected and recorded as appropriate. Conditions requiring the submission of a Construction Environmental Management Plan and a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan are necessary to ensure that ecological features are protected, monitored and managed appropriately. A condition in respect of contaminated land is necessary to ensure that no health risks occur. Conditions requiring the submission of a Construction Method Statement (CMS) and limiting the hours of work are necessary to ensure the living conditions of neighbouring occupants are not adversely affected.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision Conditions requiring a scheme to protect residents from noise impacts and an Air Quality Assessment to be carried out are required in order to ensure that future residents have acceptable living conditions. 45. The information required by these conditions is required prior to the commencement of development because they concern the early stages of development or might influence the design. 46. A Sustainable Energy Strategy is required to ensure that sustainability measures are incorporated into the development. Conditions in respect of a Travel Plan and the implementation of a footway and the construction and visibility splays of the main access points are necessary to ensure that sustainable travel measures are implemented, and that safe and suitable access is provided. Details of lighting are required to ensure that there would be no adverse impacts upon bats. A condition limiting the use of water is necessary to ensure compliance with the nutrient neutrality mitigation strategy. 47. I have not included conditions which relate to matters of landscaping and appearance as these would be submitted as part of the reserved matters.

Land East of Church Road, Laverstock, Salisbury, SP1 1RB — Wiltshire Council — Appeal Decision A condition specifying that no burning shall take place on site is suggested, however this is covered by separate legislation and as such a planning condition is not necessary. A condition is also suggested specifying the number of dwellings approved, however the description of development is sufficiently clear and as such this condition is not necessary. Conclusion 48. The proposed development would conflict with the development plan but material considerations including the Framework indicate that a decision should be made other than in accordance with it. Therefore, for the reasons given, the appeal should succeed.
