Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 3 October 2025 by D Wilson BSc (Hons) MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 11 November 2025 Appeal Ref: APP/H1705/W/25/3369039 The Cedars, Headley, Hampshire RG19 8FE • 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 Rivar. Ltd. against the decision of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. • The application Ref is 23/02694/FUL. • The development proposed is Full planning permission for the erection of 8 dwellings including affordable housing, together with access, parking, landscaping and any other associated works and infrastructure. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for Full planning permission for the erection of 8 dwellings including affordable housing, together with access, parking, landscaping and any other associated works and infrastructure at The Cedars, Headley, Hampshire RG19 8FE in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 23/02694/FUL, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matter 2.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The appeal has been accompanied by a signed Unilateral Undertaking that secures provision for community and infrastructure contributions to mitigate documented impacts in relation to affordable housing. As a result, the Council have confirmed that their reason for refusal relating to this particular matter is overcome, I have no reason to conclude otherwise and have therefore not considered this matter further. Main Issues 3. The main issues are the effect of the proposed development on: • the character and appearance of the area, and • biodiversity. Reasons Character and appearance 4. The appeal site is a large parcel of land located to the rear of several dwellings, at the end of a cul-de-sac. The site is densely vegetated and is mostly overgrown but there are several trees within the site which links with the wider woodlands that are character of the area, resulting in an open and verdant character and appearance. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/25/3369039 5. There are dwellings within the wider area, and these generally follow a linear pattern along Ashford Hill Road with the appeal site, surrounding vegetation and woodland forming a boundary to the mostly open landscape beyond. However, there are several cul-de-sacs within the wider area, and the design and layout of the proposed scheme would largely mirror these. While there would be some loss of the boundary, the proposed development would appear as an extension to the existing cul-de-sac and the proposed retention of the largest of the existing trees would not significantly erode the boundary to the more open landscape beyond. 6. I note that pockets of woodlands are character of the area and while the proposed development would result in the loss of some trees, the evidence provided by the appellant indicates that more than half of individual trees and the majority of tree groups would be retained.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The trees proposed to be removed are not identified as being of high quality which combined with the quantity to be removed, and landscaping enhancements proposed would mean that the wooded character and appearance of the area would be maintained and the development would not result in an overdevelopment of the site. 7. I acknowledge the densely vegetated appearance of the appeal site, however, much of this is low level and has an overgrown appearance which has little impact on the wider woodland character and appearance of the area due to the limited visibility from public vantage points. Its loss would therefore not be harmful and could be mitigated through the soft landscaping proposed which would have a similar effect from localised views, maintaining the verdant character. 8. The layout includes hard landscaping which includes the proposed road and parking spaces; however, this is generally in keeping with the layout of the Cedars and Evergreen and would therefore have a layout that would fit in with the wider area. The design of the proposed dwellings are also in keeping with those within the immediate vicinity and would therefore not appear bulky within this context.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The proposed tree retention as well as areas of landscaping would also soften the proposals impact, and I am also mindful that further soft landscaping can be controlled through a suitably worded planning condition. 9. I therefore conclude that the proposed development would not harm the character and appearance of the area. I find no conflict with Policies EM1 and EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan (2011 to 2029) Adopted May 2016 (LP) and Policies HD1, L1, NE1 and NE2 of the Ashford Hill with Headley Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2029 October 2022. Amongst other things, these seek to ensure that development is sympathetic to the character and visual quality of the area, is of high quality and retains veteran and other important trees. Biodiversity 10. Policy EM4 of the LP relates to biodiversity, geodiversity and nature conservation and seeks to ensure that significant harm to biodiversity and/or geodiversity resulting from a development can be avoided or, if that is not possible, adequately mitigated. 11.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision There is no dispute between the parties that there would be a deficit for biodiversity net gain within the site, however, the appellant is proposing this gain to be secured through a habitat bank-with off site provision. The Council find this to be acceptable through a suitably worded condition, and I have no reason to conclude otherwise. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/25/3369039 12. The Council’s Landscape, Biodiversity and Trees Supplementary Planning Document December 2018 (SPD) provides further guidance and states that buffer zones should be created that provide a naturally graded edge to woodlands and allow for maintenance access. A minimum buffer of 20m should be provided between the edge of the woodland/tree belt and the development. 13. The application was accompanied by an ecological assessment and a technical note has been submitted with the appeal which has outlined the potential impacts of the proposed development as well as the mitigation to overcome these. Notwithstanding this, whilst small, it is recognised there that were be a loss of woodland habitat which would have an effect on the ecological functionality of the woodland. 14. The purpose of the buffer is to enable a naturally graded edge to the woodland and while the reference to 20m is not part of the wording of Policy EM4 of the LP, the aims of the SPD clearly align with the aims to secure opportunities for biodiversity improvement which would not be met through the proposed development. 15.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision I acknowledge that the appeal site has no designation for its ecological or arboricultural value and that through mitigation measures, the development would not adversely affect protected species, habitats including bat roosting provision would be created and invasive species would be controlled. However, these do not outweigh the conflict with Policy EM4 of the LP through not providing the required minimum buffer. 16. I therefore conclude that the proposed development would be harmful to biodiversity and would be contrary to Policy EM4 of the LP and guidance contained within the SPD. Amongst other things, these seek to ensure that buffer zones should be created that provide a naturally graded edge to woodlands and allow for maintenance access. Other Matters 17. The proposed dwellings would be located within proximity of several existing dwellings. In regard to No 7 Evergreen, the closest dwelling would be 30m away which is a sufficient distance to protect the privacy and outlook of the occupiers of this dwelling. While some car parking spaces would be closer, these are angled away from No 7 so would not have a harmful effect. 18.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision In regard to No 4 Evergreen, the proposed dwellings located at plot 1 and 2 would be within proximity, however, due to the angle of these plots they would face the side elevation of No 4 and as such, there would not be any harmful outlook or loss of privacy for these occupiers. 19. The proposed dwelling at plot 3 would be visible from the existing dwellings at Nos 5, 6, 7 and 8 Evergreen. However, these dwellings would face towards the side elevation of plot 3, where no windows are proposed meaning that there would be no harm to privacy. While built form would be visible from these properties, due to the separation distance, lower land levels and soft landscaping proposed there would also not be a harmful loss of outlook, sunlight or daylight for these existing occupiers. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/H1705/W/25/3369039 20. I note that concern has been raised that suggests the local school is oversubscribed, however, there is little evidence to demonstrate this. I also note that reference has been made to other developments that have been granted planning permission for housing in the area and suggestions that there may be other sites suitable for housing. However, I am only in a position to consider the appeal before me and the Council is still unable to demonstrate a 5-year supply of housing despite these other housing developments being granted within the area. 21. The Council have found that the principle of development would be acceptable with access to some facilities without relying on a private car, also that development would not harm highway safety, would provide adequate drainage, would not increase flood risk in the area and would also achieve biodiversity net gain through a condition for which I have no reasons to conclude otherwise. Planning Balance 22. The proposal would be contrary to Policy EM4 of the LP. This Policy is generally consistent with the Framework in minimising impacts on and providing net gains for biodiversity. 23.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision The Council is unable to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable housing sites in accordance with Paragraph 72 of the Framework. The appellant states that the Council is only able to demonstrate a 2.78 year supply which is not disputed by the Council and therefore represents a significant undersupply. Paragraph 11 d) of the Framework indicates that, in such circumstances where the requisite housing land supply cannot be shown, the Policies which are important for determining the application should be deemed out-of-date and permission should be granted unless any adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the Policies in the Framework taken as a whole. 24. The proposed development would contribute to the supply of new homes in a situation where there is a shortfall. The proposal also includes three affordable homes. This attracts significant weight in favour of the proposed development. The proposal would also support the creation of jobs directly and indirectly during construction and result in future occupiers spending in the locality. 25.

Land east of The Cedars , Ashford Hill Road , Headley, Hampshire, RG19 8FE — Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council — Appeal Decision It is acknowledged that the proposed development would result in the loss of a greenfield site, however, in the context of the Council’s 5-year housing supply position this only attracts limited weight against the scheme. 26. In this instance, the conflict with Policy EM4 of the LP only attracts moderate weight against the proposed development as the Framework does not seek to impose fixed landscape buffers which combined with the limited weight attached to the loss of a greenfield site would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, even if the 5-year supply of deliverable housing sites is higher than that agreed by the parties, as has been suggested by interested parties. As such, the proposal would constitute a sustainable form of development in terms of the Framework. 27. Consequently, when assessed against the Policies in the Framework when taken as a whole, the adverse impacts of granting permission would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4
