Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Inquiry held on 9, 10 and 11 June 2026 Site visit made on 10 June 2026 by Andrew McGlone BSc MCD MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 25th June 2026 Appeal Ref: APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, Lancashire PR7 5LP • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) (the Act) against a failure to give notice within the prescribed period of a decision on an application for outline planning permission • The appeal is made by Story Homes Limited against Chorley Borough Council. • The application Ref is 25/00577/OUTMAJ. • The development proposed is the demolition of existing structures and outline planning application (with all matters reserved, including access to Parcel B, save for the principal means of access) for a residential development of up to 350 homes (Use Class C3) and a 186.9 sqm (2,012 sqft) community hub (Use Classes C3, E and F), with associated habitat creation, landscaping, open space, parking, footpaths/cycleways, drainage and other infrastructure. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and outline planning permission is granted for the demolition of existing structures (with all matters reserved, including access to Parcel B, save for the principal means of access) for a residential development of up to 350 homes (Use Class C3) and a 186.9 sqm (2,012 sqft) community hub (Use Classes C3, E and F), with associated habitat creation, landscaping, open space, parking, footpaths/cycleways, drainage and other infrastructure at the Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, Lancashire PR7 5LP in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 25/00577/OUTMAJ, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Preliminary Matters 2. The planning application was submitted in outline form, with all matters reserved for future consideration, except for the principal means of access. The access details submitted only relate to the initial sections of the proposed primary and secondary accesses from Park Hall Road. Therefore, my consideration of access matters is limited to the plans1 submitted. 3. The appeal has arisen from the Council’s failure to determine the planning application within the prescribed time limit. Nevertheless, the Council decided after the appeal was lodged not to contest the appeal or oppose the proposed development in principle on the appeal site, subject to the imposition of any necessary planning conditions and planning obligations. 4. Before the Inquiry, the Appellant submitted several amended parameter plans. They include a Revised Land Use Parameter Plan, a Revised Green and Blue Infrastructure Plan, a Further Revised Movement and Access Plan and a Revised 1 Plan refs: 86409-CUR-XX-00-D-TP-75006-P01 and 86409-CUR-XX-00-D-TP-75008-P01 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 Building Heights Plan. These plans and several others2 have been submitted for determination by the Appellant. Other submitted plans are therefore for illustrative purposes only as potential ways that the site could be developed for the proposal. 5. I have considered the main parties’ comments on whether to accept the amended plans3. Substantively, the amended plans do not fundamentally change where or how the proposal would be accessed, or the type, nature, scale, and likely distribution of the development proposed, save for minor alterations. The changes also ensure consistency with the description of development and the evidence. Further, given the scope of the appeal scheme, the significance of the changes is very minor. Hence, fairness does not require re-consultation, and I consider both tests satisfied. I have determined the appeal based on the amended plans. 6. During the appeal, it was considered that an Environmental Statement (ES) was necessary as the proposed development fell within Schedule 2, Part 10 (b) of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (the Regulations), and that the proposal is likely to have significant effects on the environment. This was because the appellant added the demolition and remediation of the site to the description of the development after the Council had carried out its screening direction. 7. The appellant submitted an ES, dated March 2026, and public consultation was carried out by way of press and site notices and by post with members of the public originally notified of the appeal and with statutory consultees and undertakers who were consulted on the planning application. The consultation took place between 31 March 2026 and 30 April 2026.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The ES was produced in accordance with the Regulations, and various people have had, and taken, the opportunity to comment on the ES and the proposal’s environmental effects. I have had regard to the responses submitted and the body of evidence submitted in writing and heard orally at the Inquiry. I consider the ES is satisfactory. 8. A signed and dated agreement under s106 of the Act was submitted shortly after the close of the Inquiry (s106 agreement). The s106 agreement contains obligations in respect of affordable housing, playing pitches, amenity green space, children and young people, off-site highway and public right of way (PRoW) works, public and community transport, cycle parking, off-site traffic monitoring, travel vouchers, travel plan, BNG Monitoring and a Monitoring Fee 9. For clarity I used the following terms to express my opinion of the weight that different matters carry: very substantial, substantial, significant, moderate, limited, and neutral. They will be expressed either in the context of a harm or benefit. Main Issues 10. Notwithstanding the order and content of the main issues that I set out at the start of the Inquiry, I have altered or reordered the main issues based on the matters in dispute at the Inquiry and my findings.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Therefore, the main issues are: • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework); • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing, playing pitches, amenity green space, children and young people, off-site 2 Mr Suckley Proof of Evidence, Paragraph 5.15 3 Holborn Studios Ltd v The Council of the London Borough of Hackney [2017] EWHC 2823 (Admin) https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

The appeal site 11. The appeal site comprises around 25.55 hectares of land that was formerly Camelot Theme Park, which operated between 1983 and 2012, attracting roughly 500,000 visitors annually at its peak. During this time there were over 100 buildings and structures, some of which were tall. Most of the buildings and structures have now been removed from the site due to anti-social behaviour issues that have occurred since the park’s closure. However, many remain, and there are several large areas of hardstanding across the site which have not naturalised. The appeal site wraps around Park Hall Hotel and several industrial units which lie in the middle of the site and are not in the land edged red. 12. Access to the site is gained from Park Hall Road. To the west and northwest of the appeal site are Heskin and Eccleston. To the east is the M6 Motorway and Charnock Richard service station. To the east of the motorway is Charnock Richard, and to the southeast is Coppull. Fields lie to the north of the site. 13. An ornamental pond and Swift’s wood are next to the site’s eastern boundary. Little Wood Biological Heritage Site (BHS) extends along the site’s western boundary.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Mature woodland can also be found bordering the site’s southern and western boundaries, part of which is Ancient Woodland and known as ‘Little Wood’. Syd Brook flows through the woodland to the south of the site in a valley. Reasons Whether inappropriate development 14. The Framework explains that the Government attaches great importance to Green Belts. The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence. It also sets out that inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. 15. The Appellant’s case in respect of the Green Belt is three-fold. The first is that the proposed development would accord with Framework paragraphs 155, 156 and 157. Should I determine otherwise in respect of the first, the second strand is that the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 154 g). Should the first two parts of the Appellant’s Green Belt case not succeed, the Appellant considers that there are other considerations which clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reasons of inappropriateness and any other harm resulting from the proposal. 16. Planning law requires that applications for planning permission be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The Framework is a material consideration, but Policy 1 of the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy (CS) aims to focus growth and investment on well-located brownfield sites and the Strategic Location of Central Preston, the Key https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 Service Centres of Chorley and Leyland and the other main urban areas in South Ribble whilst protecting the character of suburban and rural areas. 17. CS Policy 1 sets out where growth and investment are to be concentrated. Part (f) of the policy relates to development in other places – smaller villages, substantially built-up frontages and Major Developed Sites. Here development will typically be small-scale and limited to appropriate infilling, conversion of buildings and proposals to meet local need, unless there are exceptional reasons for larger scale redevelopment schemes. As the proposal would not be small, an infill or a conversion, the Appellant contends that there are exceptional reasons and thus compliance with CS Policy 1(f) for each of their Green Belt cases. 18. Much of the appeal site is a previously developed site subject of Policy BNE5 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026 (Local Plan). This policy permits the reuse, infill or redevelopment of such sites in the Green Belt provided the listed criteria are met. There are, however, three areas of the appeal site that lie outside of the policy allocation4. I shall return to Local Plan Policy BNE5 after considering the first strand of the Appellant’s Green Belt case because the current version of the Framework was published in more recent times. Framework paragraph 155 19. Paragraph 155 sets out that the development of homes, commercial and other development in the Green Belt should not be regarded as inappropriate where all the listed criteria apply (a to d). 20.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Part a – for the proposal to utilise grey belt land, the appeal site must either comprise previously developed land (PDL) and/or any other land that does not strongly contribute to any of purposes (a), (b), or (d) in Framework paragraph 143. Although most of the site is PDL due to the policy allocation, I am considering the proposal on the basis that it also contains other land. 21. The appeal site is not next to a large built-up area, but it is well contained either by road infrastructure or natural features such as Ancient Woodland. The proposal would maintain those natural features, and further planting could be added to the site’s perimeter so the proposed development would not physically appear in the local area. So, while Heskin would be near, it would still be visually separate due to strong buffer provided by the Ancient Woodland and the intervening land. Therefore, the appeal site does not strongly contribute to purpose a). 22. Although Heskin, Eccleston, Charnock Richard and Coppull are reasonably close to the appeal site, they are all villages or a ‘Service Centre’ in the Local Plan. They are not towns, so they are not relevant to purpose (b). The town of Chorley lies to the north-east of the site, and the town of Standish is to the south-east. Coppull lies broadly in between the two, whereas the appeal site does not lie in the gap between Chorley and Standish. But, even if the site did, the land would only form a small part of the gap, and the site does not contribute to the visual separation of them. Hence, the appeal site does not strongly contribute to purpose b). 23. Chorley and Standish are not historic towns, but if they were, the appeal site is over 5km from both, and it does not form part of the setting of either town.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision There is no visual, physical or experiential connection between the site and any historic aspects of the towns, so the appeal site does not strongly contribute to purpose d). 4 ID8 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision There is no visual, physical or experiential connection between the site and any historic aspects of the towns, so the appeal site does not strongly contribute to purpose d). 4 ID8 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 24. Added to this, the application of the policies relating to the areas or assets in Framework footnote 7 would not provide a strong reason for refusing or restricting development. Therefore, I consider the proposal would utilise grey belt land. 25. Looking at the other Green Belt purposes, the proposal would result in the redevelopment of derelict PDL, although the site is not located in an urban area. Doing so would lessen the need to use land other than derelict and urban land for development. The proposal would not conflict, therefore, with purpose e), but even if it did, the appeal scheme would not fundamentally undermine the purpose given most of the site is subject of Local Plan Policy BNE5. 26. The proposed housing and the community hub are indicatively shown to be on land comprising the policy allocation, which would mean that they would not encroach into the countryside, as those areas are PDL. Areas 1 to 3 lie outside of the policy allocation and in the countryside, though the Appellant says that these areas are within the curtilage of the PDL. Regardless, some degree of ‘development’ would likely take place in each area, albeit details of how Area 1 may be brought forward are not before me. Area 3 would be partly used for the proposed primary access. Area 2 would be used for the bus interchange, bus shelter and cycle shelter. However, Areas 1, 2 and 3 are well contained by vegetation on and off the appeal site that, together with nearby roads, would constrain the physical and visual effect of developing these three areas. There would, as a result, only be a limited effect caused by the proposal with purpose c). 27.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The proposal would result in the loss of around 25.55 hectares of the overall 14,500 hectares of Green Belt land in Chorley, and not all the appeal site would be occupied by built form. Consequently, I consider that the proposal would not fundamentally undermine the purposes, when they are taken together, of the remaining Green Belt across the area of the plan. Therefore, the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 155 a). 28. Part b – the Council cannot currently demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites5. Because the strategic policies in the CS are more than five years old, the extent of the supply, based on the borough’s local housing need (LHN) is agreed to be around 3.4 years (annual housing requirement of 670 dwellings) with a 20% buffer applied. The LHN figure is higher than the requirement in CS Policy 4. As such, there is currently a significant shortfall below the LHN, which is a minima. The latest Housing Delivery Test (HDT) measurement is 57% which is below 75% of the housing requirement over the past three years from the HDT. There is, therefore, a demonstrable unmet need for residential development in the borough. Part b) of Framework paragraph 155 is satisfied. 29. Part c – the proposal would be a significant development, so according to Framework paragraph 110 this should be focused on locations which are or can be made sustainable, limiting the need to travel and offering a genuine choice of transport modes. However, opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary between urban and rural areas. 30. Given the scope of the scheme before me, the proposal has been designed or could be designed to accord with Framework paragraph 115 c).

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The principal means of access has been designed to ensure safe and suitable access to the site for all users. This could also be achieved for the connection between parcels A 5 CD9.1, Paragraph 6.3 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The principal means of access has been designed to ensure safe and suitable access to the site for all users. This could also be achieved for the connection between parcels A 5 CD9.1, Paragraph 6.3 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 and B and the emergency vehicle/pedestrian/cycle route. Suitable pedestrian / cycle connections to Park Hall Road and BW0913009 could also be achieved, and improvements to several PRoW near to the site would broaden users’ ability to access the site in a safe and suitable manner. Planning conditions and the s106 agreement would secure the provision of these connections and/or improvements to them. Hence, the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 115 b). 31. The appeal site is not currently sustainable in transport terms for various reasons. These include its proximity to facilities and services; the frequency of bus services; the speed of vehicles on Park Hall Road that make cycling along the road less appealing; or the unfavourable routes for pedestrians due to the width of footways or PRoWs, their surface and the effect overgrown vegetation has on the usability of various routes. The issues associated with people getting around are reflected in the local communities’ representations, but Framework paragraph 110 also says that development should be focused on where it can be made sustainable. 32. A package of measures is proposed6 on and off the appeal site which includes planning contributions and planning conditions to secure the measures and a timetable for their implementation so that they are brought forward at suitable points in the development’s build-out to enable future occupiers to use sustainable transport modes instead of the private vehicle. This is not to say that future occupiers would not use non-ultra-low- and zero-emission private vehicles. That would be unrealistic, and there is no planning mechanism to require people not to use these types of vehicles.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision So, future occupiers would still travel by these means. 33. The proposed measures include a road safety scheme on Park Hall Road to reduce existing vehicle speeds which could in turn provide a safer and more encouraging route for cyclists to use. This is important because the road is used for travel between Heskin, Eccleston and Ulnes Walton (and others) with Charnock Richard, Coppull, Standish, Euxton and Chorley (and others). Further thought does need to be given to the gateway features near to the bend of Park Hall Road and Mill Lane so that vehicle speeds are reduced before entering Park Hall Road to maximise the proposed safety improvements and to encourage more pedestrians to use the footway along Park Hall Road. Road safety improvements to two nearby junctions would also be made to encourage active travel and to ease vehicle movements through them. 34. Eccleston, Coppull and Heskin offer an immediate range of facilities and services for future occupiers’ day-to-day needs. Journeys by bicycle would be possible to each, and a contribution would be secured to enhance cycle parking provisions in Eccleston and/or Coppull. People could also cycle to Chorley and the train stations at Chorley and Euxton Balshaw Lane to travel to various towns and cities. 35. Journeys on foot would be possible for Eccleston and Heskin, but most of the facilities and services in Eccleston would be at the upper threshold for journeys or beyond it. Some people are likely to be willing to travel slightly longer than other areas, but that would not apply to everyone, and inclement weather and the hours of darkness would discourage people. Local topography between the site and Eccleston would also affect people’s willingness to walk and journey times compared to the Appellant’s isochrones.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision That said, improvements to reclaim the width of the footway along Park Hall Road and to widen it along the site’s southern 6 CD10.4, Table 2.1 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 6

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision That said, improvements to reclaim the width of the footway along Park Hall Road and to widen it along the site’s southern 6 CD10.4, Table 2.1 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 6 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 edge would improve its appeal and usability for all, as its current usable width means people cannot generally pass each other. Reclaiming the recorded widths of specific PRoWs by cutting back vegetation, upgrading their surfaces, removing or replacing stiles, improving drainage, and lighting (accessibility routes only) would enhance the year-round capability of the routes, providing people with a safe and accessible way of travel. The proposal would therefore accord with the aims of Local Plan Policy ST1. 36. The on-site bus interchange would require a short diversion of existing services into the appeal site from Park Hall Road. People could walk or cycle here to catch the bus given that cycle parking would be at the interchange. A financial contribution would also enhance or maintain those services, extending the start and end times of services or days that they operate and enhancing their frequency. Bus stops near the proposed secondary access junction and at the Farmers Arms public house on Wood Lane would also be enhanced. A contribution to the Central Lancashire community transport service would provide specialist transport to support people with disabilities and reduced mobility. 37. The community hub on the appeal site with Use Classes E and F would mean future occupiers would not always need to travel off the site for provisions or services. Also, not every potential occupier would be likely to travel daily to a place of work due to current working practices, the provision of high-speed broadband and a home study.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision People could also easily reach the nightclub, games arcade and restaurant at the nearby hotel or the gym, gymnastics school or veterinarian in the nearby industrial units, whether that be on foot or by another sustainable transport mode. They could also lessen the need to travel further afield. 38. A travel plan would be secured by planning condition, and a monitoring fee is secured by the s106 agreement so that the travel plan is reviewed, adjusted and effective in encouraging people to travel using sustainable transport modes. Electric vehicle charging points would also help, and travel vouchers for the first occupiers of each dwelling would encourage those occupiers to use sustainable transport modes from the offset. 39. The proposed group of measures would offer genuine sustainable transport choices for future occupiers, with the vision for the site prioritising such modes given its location and the type of development proposed. The Transport Assessment and ES conclude that there would be no significant impacts on the transport network in terms of capacity and congestion, and the Local Highway Authority (LHA) raises no objections or safety concerns, even with their awareness of the new prison at Ulnes Walton. I agree and note that the former theme park generated higher daily traffic. Furthermore, adequate parking is available in Eccleston and on Wood Lane, and no concerns have been raised by the LHA. Therefore, despite residents’ concerns about the uplift in vehicular traffic and the suitability of local roads, the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 115(a) and (d). 40.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Although future occupiers would still travel by non-sustainable transport modes, I consider the proposed development would be in a sustainable location, with reference to Framework paragraphs 109, 110 and 115. As such, the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 155 c). 41. Part d – the parties agree that the proposal would satisfy the ‘Golden Rules’ (Framework paragraphs 156 and 157) and deliver 50% of the proposed quantum https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 7

The s106 agreement also secures necessary improvements to local infrastructure that will mitigate the proposal’s effect and provide improvements for the existing community. These improvements include contributions towards playing pitches, community transport, cycle parking in Eccleston, PRoW improvements, public transport, and transport monitoring at three road junctions. Further, the appeal scheme would provide publicly accessible public open space and play equipment on a site that currently does not have lawful public access. For these reasons, the Golden Rules in Framework paragraphs 156 and 157 are met, and, therefore, Framework paragraph 155 d) is satisfied. 42. Conclusion on Grey Belt – I conclude that the proposed development would utilise grey belt land and that the proposal would accord with Framework paragraph 155 a to d, as well as paragraphs 156 and 157. As such, the proposal would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt. 43. Due to my finding, it is not necessary for me to consider the second and third strands of the Appellant’s Green Belt case, and, therefore, my third main issue. Nor do I need to consider the proposal’s effect on openness because Framework paragraphs 155 to 157 do require it to be, and because the proposal would not be inappropriate development. 44. I also conclude that there are exceptional reasons for this large-scale redevelopment scheme. This is because of the site’s history; its current state; the unsuitability and unviability of another tourism attraction; and the need for market and affordable housing in the borough to address current shortfalls in both types of housing. On this basis, I conclude that the proposal would accord with CS Policy 1. 45.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision In respect of Local Plan Policy BNE5, I have set out my findings on the purposes of the Green Belt and explained why openness is not to be considered due to the proposal not being inappropriate development. To then require an assessment of the proposal’s effect on the openness of the Green Belt would be inconsistent with the Framework, so I give the Framework’ approach greater weight. While the site’s appearance would change, the comprehensive plan for developing the whole site shows that the scheme could be designed to integrate the development into its surroundings, to reflect the character of the landscape, and to maintain and/or enhance the site’s appearance as a whole when judged from points around the site and from within it. Suitable densities across what is a large previously developed site could also be achieved without causing detriment to features of historical or ecological importance. As such, I conclude the proposal would accord with CS Policies 5 and 21 and Local Plan Policies BNE1 and BNE5. Planning contributions 46. The s106 agreement would secure 50% of the proposed dwellings as affordable homes in line with CS Policy 7 and the Framework’s Golden Rules, delivering up to 175 homes. This addresses a considerable local affordable housing need, with around 515 households on the waiting list (as of 13 April 2026), mainly for 1–3 bed homes, as well as an acute national affordable housing need. With a likely start in September 2027, and the Appellant’s suggested time limit planning condition, around 100 to 125 affordable homes could be delivered within the next five years. This carries substantial positive weight, and the proposal would comply with CS Policy 7 and Framework paragraphs 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 155, 156 and 157. 47.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision While the Central Lancashire Open Space and Playing Pitch Supplementary Planning Document (OSPPSPD) requires a ten-year maintenance period for public https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 8 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 open space and/or the play equipment on the appeal site, the Council considers this to be an insufficient period after reviewing maintenance contributions as they would maintain both in perpetuity. Due to the site’s size and features, including Ancient Woodland, trees and water bodies, a twenty-year maintenance period is necessary despite the status of the emerging local plan and the proposed approach within it. As such, if the Council is to maintain these spaces, parts (b) of the Amenity Green Space Maintenance Contribution and the Children and Young People Area Maintenance Contribution are the justified sums, respectively. The proposal would accord with CS Policies 18 and 24, Local Plan Policy HS4A and the OSPPSPD. As the provision could also be used by others, I attached moderate weight to its maintenance in perpetuity. 48. A Playing Pitches Contribution is necessary for each dwelling to mitigate the development’s impacts on existing playing pitches by funding new or improved pitches across the borough. The contribution would be used on a borough-wide basis, as that reflects how the pitches are used by residents and clubs. The proposal would comply with CS Policy 24, Local Plan Policy HS4B and the Central Lancashire Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sport Strategy (the Strategy). 49. A Habitat Management and Monitoring Contribution for the on-site BNG is secured by the s106 agreement so that a net gain of at least 10% is achieved (anticipated gains of 22.87% in habitat units, 262.32% in hedgerow units and 22.08% in watercourse units), and that is established over a 30-year period, with monitoring taking place across that period.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision In this regard, the proposal would comply with CS Policy 22, Local Plan Policies BNE 9, 10 and 11 and the Act. The Council has also justified the Monitoring Fee sought relating to the obligations in the s106 agreement based on the proposal’s scale. Both fees carry neutral weight. 50. Due to the frequency of existing bus services, especially in the evenings and on Sundays, the Public Transport Contribution over five years is necessary so that bus services enter the site, their frequency is improved and they run on evenings and Sundays. This is to encourage future occupiers to use sustainable transport. The contribution would also provide or improve existing bus stops on Park Hall Road and Wood Lane to provide occupiers with options. The proposal would accord with CS Policies 2 and 3 and Framework paragraphs 115 and 117. 51. Due to additional demand created by the proposed development, the s106 agreement secures the Community Transport Contribution so that future occupiers with disabilities and/or reduced mobility would have access to responsive specialist transport. On this basis, the proposal would mitigate its impact and accord with CS Policies 2 and 3 and Framework paragraphs 109, 115 and 117 b). 52. The PRoW Contribution is necessary and in accordance with CS Policy 3, Local Plan Policy ST1 and Framework paragraph 105 to protect and enhance routes near to the appeal site for leisure and accessibility. The contribution would improve the usability of specified routes and enable safe pedestrian and cycle movement whilst improving the legibility of routes if required. The proposal would mitigate its effect and provide improvements that the local community would benefit from. I give this moderate positive weight. 53.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The Cycle Parking Contribution would encourage future occupiers to cycle to the nearest settlements and their facilities and services. While precise details of the cycle parking scheme are usually necessary, on balance, the County Council has justified the sum sought based on the cost of each stand and the associated work https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 9

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The Cycle Parking Contribution would encourage future occupiers to cycle to the nearest settlements and their facilities and services. While precise details of the cycle parking scheme are usually necessary, on balance, the County Council has justified the sum sought based on the cost of each stand and the associated work https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 9 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 that would be required to deliver that infrastructure in Eccleston and/or Coppull. Although the provision would add to existing cycle parking facilities in both locations, it is, on balance, justified on this occasion given the scale of the proposed development and the likely number of future occupiers. 54. The s106 agreement secures a Traffic Monitoring Contribution so that the County Council can monitor vehicle movements at three major junctions and then carry out any upgrades or improvements to them. This is necessary given the scale of the development and the extra vehicle movements that would arise from it. The proposal would accord with CS Policy 2, and the proposal would mitigate its effect, so this contribution carries neutral weight. 55. The Travel Plan Contribution and Travel Voucher are both necessary to promote the use of sustainable transport and to enable the County Council to monitor and oversee amendments to the travel plan, in accordance with CS Policy 3 and Framework paragraph 118. 56. I conclude, on this issue, that the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing, playing pitches, amenity green space, children and young people, off-site highway and PRoW work, public and community transport, cycle parking, off-site traffic monitoring, travel vouchers, travel plan, BNG Monitoring and a Monitoring Fee. The proposal would accord with CS Policies 2, 3, 7, 18, 22, 24, Local Plan Policies ST1, BNE 9, BNE10, BNE 11, HS4A, HS4B, the Strategy and OSPPSPD as well as the Act and Framework paragraphs 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 109, 115, 117, 118, 155, 156 and 157.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision The obligations secured by the s106 agreement satisfy the tests in Framework paragraph 58 and Regulation 122 of The Community infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended). Other Matters 57. Despite my Green Belt findings, the site would remain in the Green Belt unless altered through the local plan process. There is substantial Green Belt land elsewhere in the borough, and the proposal would not affect its overall integrity. The site is not designated as open space and much of it is not publicly accessible. 58. Although the emerging plan is currently being Examined in Public, there are various matters for the Councils to address before the Examining Inspectors can determine what the next steps might be. There are also unresolved objections. Therefore, the policies in the emerging plan currently carry little weight. Although the appeal site is not proposed to be allocated, there is an identified need for housing in Chorley not just to achieve the minimum five-year supply, but also the supply in years thereafter. There are also specific circumstances relating to the appeal site that have informed my Green Belt findings, which are unlikely to be replicated elsewhere in the borough. Therefore, arguments that the proposal is premature do not justify the refusal of planning permission in this case. 59. Although residents say that the proposal will set a precedent for future proposals, I disagree. This is a large former theme park, and most of the site is subject to a PDL Local Plan policy allocation. I am not aware of any other sites in the borough or nearby which have the same situation before other matters are considered. There have also been changes since previous schemes, such as the Framework and the quantum and type of development.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Thus, the appeal scheme, like any other proposal for development, has been assessed on its own planning merits. 60.

Residents are concerned about the lack of provision made for education, https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 10 Appeal Decision APP/D2320/W/25/3376957 emergency services and medical facilities, but there is no substantive evidence to suggest that contributions for them would satisfy the three tests for securing them. Further, where evidence supports planning contributions being secured, they have been done so for open space, play equipment and playing pitches for example. The s106 agreement also requires monies received for contributions to be spent on those items as soon as reasonably practicable so that they are delivered when demand from the development’s occupation would arise. There is no substantive evidence that shops or other facilities in the area lack capacity. 61. Points have been made about the long-term deliverability and viability of the appeal scheme, but those concerns are not substantiated, and the Appellant has indicated that they would start on site in September 2027, and a shorter time limit has been proposed to expedite the scheme’s delivery. 62. I recognise that there would be effects from construction activities the anticipated seven year build out of the proposed development, and I have imposed planning conditions to minimise or mitigate those effects, but there would be no long-term effects that would give rise to conflict with Framework paragraph 135 f). I also concur with the Lead Local Flood Authority and United Utilities about the proposed approach to foul and surface waters and potential flooding, subject to the imposition of various planning conditions. 63.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision Despite concerns, the Ancient Woodland is to be retained, and while the layout of the proposal is a reserved matter, I consider the quantum of development proposed could be accommodated on the appeal site alongside a 15 metre buffer zone to protect and minimise any effects on the Ancient Woodland. Measures can also be secured through planning conditions around construction practices so that harm does not arise, and conditions can also be used to secure a suitable lighting scheme and layout to avoid recreational pressure on the Ancient Woodland. Planning conditions can also be imposed so that biodiversity receives the necessary protections and mitigation. 64. I agree with the main party’s assessment that the proposal would accord with Policy CS1 of the Joint Lancashire Minerals and Waste Development Framework Core Strategy DPD – Parts One and Two, and Policy M2 of the Joint Lancashire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Site Allocation and Development Management Policies – Parts One and Two. I also agree that the proposal would accord with CS Policy 27 and the Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Supplementary Planning Document as the proposal would achieve average carbon reductions of around 63.47% over Building Regulation Part L1 2021 and around 94.47% over Part L1a 2013. This would be achieved through an enhanced fabric specification and the use of air source heat pumps and air source heat pump cylinders. Conditions 65. I have imposed a condition with reduced time limits to expedite the development so that it contributes to the supply of market and affordable homes, given the clear need for both [1]. An approved plans condition is necessary in the interests of certainty [2].

In the interests of biodiversity and the character and appearance of the area, a landscaping condition [8] is necessary. So that the development includes sustainable drainage measures and it manages floor risk and pollution, I have imposed a condition [9] to secure the necessary details. Given the varied topography across the site and the nearby area, a condition [10] is necessary to secure existing and proposed ground levels. In the interests of the character and appearance of the area, a condition is necessary to secure suitable boundary treatments [11] and their subsequent implementation. In the interests of biodiversity, I have imposed conditions to secure suitable lighting for bats [12], invertebrate surveys and the implementation of any recommendations [13], and to secure details of how an existing culvert will be removed [14]. 67. To mitigate the proposal’s impact on Great Crested Newts, I have imposed a condition so that a District Level License is secured [15]. To manage and maintain the BNG on the site, I have imposed conditions to secure a habitat management and monitoring plan [16] and a Biodiversity Gain Plan [17]. In the interests of highway safety and the environment, I have imposed conditions to secure a construction management plan [18] and a demolition management plan [19]. It is also necessary to impose a condition [20] to ensure the future management and maintenance of the proposed streets in the interests of highway safety. Further, for the same reason, I have imposed a condition so that surveys are carried out of the adopted highway and so that any necessary remedial works take place due to any effect of constructing the development [21]. 68.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision It is necessary to impose conditions to secure suitable surface water, sustainable drainage [22] and a management plan to address surface waters during construction [23] in the interests of managing flood risk and the environment. So that any potential land contamination is satisfactory addressed, I have imposed a condition so that any remedial works take place [24]. To avoid potential contaminants entering the watercourse and Little Wood BHS, I have imposed a condition to secure a method statement [25]. To protect future occupiers’ living conditions, I have imposed a condition [26] so that noise mitigation measures are implemented. In the interests of biodiversity, it is necessary to impose a condition to secure a precautionary working measures method statement [27]. In the interests of highway safety, securing safe and suitable access and encouraging the use of sustainable modes of transport, I have imposed conditions [28 and 29] to secure a range of suitable measures. 69. Due to the end users of the appeal site and the coal mining legacy, it is necessary to impose a condition to investigate and address any land instability [30]. In the interests of biodiversity, I have imposed a condition so that work to certain trees is carried out in accordance with recommendations of assessment work [31]. In the interests of highway safety, it is necessary to impose conditions to secure visibility splays and the implementation of the site’s primary access [32 and 33]. To deliver sustainable transport objectives, I have imposed a condition for a travel plan [34].

Also, to minimise the need for future occupiers to travel, I have imposed a condition [40] so that the community facilities are provided on site by a certain point. To protect the environment, I have imposed conditions in respect of air quality [41], tree protection and removal [42] and to prevent development within a 15-metre buffer of the Ancient Woodland [43]. Conclusion 71. The proposed development would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the reasons outlined. This means that the proposal would accord with CS Policies 1, 5 and 21 and Local Plan Policies BNE1 and BNE5 together with Framework paragraphs 155, 156 and 157. 72. The proposal would also make adequate provision for various planning obligations. The off-site traffic monitoring, travel vouchers, travel plan and public and community transport would mitigate the proposal’s effect. Others, such as the playing pitches, off-site highway and PRoW works, and cycle parking, would mitigate the development’s impact and provide some varying degrees of benefit to the local community who would also use these facilities. Providing up to 50% of the proposed dwellings as affordable homes is a clear benefit of substantial weight given the current position in Chorley and generally across the country. For the reasons outlined, the proposal would accord with CS Policies 2, 3, 7, 18, 22 and 24 and Local Plan Policies ST1, BNE 9, BNE 10, BNE 11, HS4A and HS4B. 73.

Former Camelot Theme Park, Park Hall Road, Charnock Richard, PR7 5LP — Chorley Borough Council — Appeal Decision While I have noted points that this scheme could be delivered elsewhere in the borough and that the benefits are not unique, the proposal would contribute to redressing the current housing shortfall by redeveloping PDL, and owing to the scale of the scheme and the anticipated build-out of it, even with a planning condition to expedite its delivery, the proposal would also help maintain the supply of housing in Chorley beyond the five-year period. The economic benefits associated with the proposal are noted but have not been determinative in my assessment, though they would only weigh in favour of the proposal. 74. As there are no material considerations to indicate that I should take a decision that is otherwise is accordance with the development plan, this means that the proposed development should be approved without delay in accordance with CS Policy MP and Local Plan Policy V1: Model Policy. 75. For the reasons given above, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed and planning permission granted.
