Background text extracted from Sevenoaks District Council, Community Right to Bid Guidance, Dec 2012

Report to Sevenoaks Town Council Planning Committee 21st July 2014

Community Right to Bid (assets of community value)

The Community Right to Bid provides town and parish councils and local voluntary and community organisations with the right to nominate land or buildings which they believe to be of importance to the community’s social well-being, for inclusion on a list of assets of community value maintained by the local authority. If successfully listed and the asset subsequently comes up for sale, then the group nominating the asset for listing will be given the opportunity to make a bid to buy it on the open market (NB: This is not the same as having first refusal and the asset owner is under no obligation to sell to the group responsible for nomination)

What CAN be listed?

Both privately and publicly owned land and buildings may be nominated where it is considered that the asset has ‘community value’ and is not land which may not be listed as set out in the Regulations.

An asset is of community value if:

The principle use of the asset currently, or in the recent past, has furthered the social wellbeing or cultural, recreational or sporting interests of the local community;

AND

That there will continue to be a use of the asset that furthers the social wellbeing or cultural, recreational or sporting interests of the local community.

What CAN NOT be listed?

Residential property or land attached to a residential property;

Land covered by the Caravan Sites Act;

Land used by public utilities.

The District Council will decide whether a nominated asset should be included in a list of assets of community value within 8 weeks of the nomination.

Where an asset is included in the list of assets of community value, the owner is required to notify the District Council in writing of their intention to dispose of the asset.

On the date the District Council receives a notification from an asset owner of their intention to dispose of an asset of community value it triggers a moratorium period during which the asset owner may not dispose of the asset (other than where the disposal is exempt under the Regulations).

Firstly, the interim moratorium period applies for six weeks. During this six week period, community and voluntary groups which can demonstrate a local connection may submit an intention to bid. If an intention to bid is received from a suitable community group a full six month moratorium period (starting from the date upon which we receive written notification of the owner’s intention to dispose of the asset) is triggered.


15

Background text extracted from Sevenoaks District Council, Community Right to Bid Guidance, Dec 2012

During this six month period the asset owner cannot dispose of the asset. This six month period is intended to enable the community group to prepare to submit a bid to the owner to purchase the asset. It is necessary to be clear that the final sale of the asset can take place under normal market conditions. There is no obligation for the community group to make a bid and the group has no rights of purchase over other potential buyers. The owner is under no obligation to sell the asset to the community group or any other person. If the owner decides to sell to the community group, they may do so within the six month moratorium period. Once the six month moratorium period has passed, and if the community group has not successfully bought the property, a further 12 month protection period is triggered. During this protection period the asset may be sold by the owner on the open market without the risk of any further moratorium period being triggered. In total there is an eighteen month moratorium period commencing on the day the council receive written notification of the owner’s intention to dispose of the asset. Recommendation

That the Town Council identify any assets which would be appropriate for listing e.g. Stag Community Arts Centre

Sevenoaks Town Council

Planning Committee ‐ 4th August 2014

Proposals for Temporary Car Park on Vine Waste Area, Dartford Road and Overflow Car Park at Knole Paddock

If Sevenoaks District Council builds its proposed new car park at Buckhurst 2, it will require temporary car parking facilities during the construction period.

Sevenoaks District Council have approached Sevenoaks Town Council and asked them to consider permitting a temporary car park on the land known as the Vine Waste Area, Dartford Road. This land currently is used for car parking for events that are taking place on the Vine and Vine Gardens.

In addition a proposal to use the overflow car park at Knole Paddock which is usually used in relation to events happening on that land.


17

To progress either or both of these matters the following would need to be considered:‐

1. Planning Permission 2. Highway requirements 3. SDC state that they would not charge for the car parking, but open to permit holders. 4. Potential rental to Sevenoaks Town Council 5. Commitment for SDC to make good the land back to its original condition. 6. Would Business Rates be applicable?

Sevenoaks Town Councillor views are sought on this matter.

CONSULTATION ON UNDERGROUND DRILLING ACCESS [PAYMENTS FOR ACCESS]

Executive Summary

The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have issued a consultation on proposals to reform the procedure for gaining underground access to oil or gas deposits and geothermal energy. We are keen hear the sector’s views on the proposals regarding a right of underground access, a payment in return for a right of access and a notification system for the community.

DECC is proposing an amended process for granting access rights, with three steps:

One: To grant underground access rights to companies extracting petroleum (asdefined under the Petroleum Act, 1998 – including gas or oil) or geothermal energy inland at least 300 metres below the surface;

Two: For people living above underground drilling to continue to receive some kind ofpayment from the operator in return for the right of access. This view is in line withother schemes that grant access rights such as underground cables and tunnels.However, DECC believes that the land at depths below 300 metres is of little to no useto a landowner. The shale and geothermal industries have put forward a voluntaryoffer for a payment system. This will involve a £20,000 one-off payment for eachunique lateral (horizontal) well that extends by more than 200 metres laterally. Wherelateral drilling vertically coincides - payment will be made only once. DECC’spreference is for this payment to be made to a relevant community body (as agreedbetween the operator and the community itself), and not split between individuallandowners.

It is our view parish councils would be the most appropriate relevant communitybody. Do you agree?

Three: For a public notification system, under which the company would outline matterssuch as the relevant area of underground land, coupled with details on the paymentthat will be made in return for the access.

It our view that all local councils should be consulted (notified) whereunderground drilling applications are / have been submitted for land within theirboundaries – as they can best represent their residents’ views and provide realdemocratic representation in such cases. Do you agree?

Appeal Decision Site visit made on 15 July 2014

by Alan Woolnough BA(Hons) DMS MRTPI

an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government

Decision date: 31 July 2014

Appeal Ref: APP/G2245/X/14/2212937

22 St Boltophs Avenue, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 3AL

• The appeal is made under section 195 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 asamended by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 against a refusal to grant a

certificate of lawful use or development (LDC).• The appeal is made by Mr & Mrs May against the decision of Sevenoaks District Council.

• The application ref no SE/13/02001/LDCEX, dated 3 July 2013, was refused by notice

dated 18 September 2013.• The application was made under section 191(1)(b) of the 1990 Act as amended.

• The existing development for which a LDC is sought is described on the application formas a dormer extension.

Summary of Decision: The appeal is allowed and a certificate of lawful use

or development is issued in the terms set out below in the formal decision.

Procedural Matter

1. The operations depicted on the drawing which accompanied the LDC application

were more extensive than the description given on the application form, as set

out in the above heading, would suggest. On the evidence before me, I find

that all the works thus illustrated had been implemented as shown by the time

of my visit. I have seen nothing to suggest that the situation was otherwise at

the time of the application.

2. Section 191(4) of the 1990 Act as amended, in tandem with case law arising

from Panton and Farmer v SSETR and Vale of White Horse DC [1999] JPL 461,

allows me to modify the terms of the LDC application and grant a certificate in

somewhat different terms so as to accord with the facts and evidence. Indeed,

the Panton judgment indicates that an Inspector is obliged to issue a LDC for

matters which the evidence shows are lawful and to modify or substitute the

description if necessary.

3. I note that the Council determined the application on the basis of a more

comprehensive description, as set out in its decision notice. Nonetheless, I find

that even this does not fully encapsulate the scheme in question. I have

therefore determined the appeal on the basis of the following description of

existing development, which I find to be more accurate: The addition to the

east and south-facing roof slopes of dormer windows with rooflights, the

insertion of a gable window in the east-facing elevation and the part removal of

a chimney stack from the east-facing elevation, as depicted in drawing no

JM/13/001 revised 26 May 2013. There is no prejudice to the interests of any

party in doing so.


29

Appeal Decision APP/G2245/X/14/2212937


Reasoning

4. The host property is a two storey end-of-terrace dwelling to which third storey

attic accommodation has been added by means of the appeal development.

The Council has refused to issue a LDC on the grounds that, in its assessment,

the dormer widow that has been added to the east-facing roof slope of the

property’s projecting rear wing did not constitute permitted development1 as

defined by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)

Order 1995 as amended (the GPDO). The Appellant contends to the contrary.

5. The status in law of the subject development falls to be determined with

reference to Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the GPDO. Class B of Part 1 defines as

permitted development the enlargement of a dwellinghouse consisting of an

addition or alteration to its roof, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

Nothing before me suggests that the Council finds the dormer additions to

breach limitations B.1(a), (c) or (e) or any of the conditions to which Class B is

subject. In the absence of any cogent evidence to the contrary, I concur.

6. Limitation B.1(d) specifies that development is not permitted pursuant to

Class B if it includes, amongst other things, the alteration of a chimney. The

part demolition of the chimney on the east-facing elevation of the subject

dwelling constitutes such an alteration for the purposes of the GPDO.

However, it is clear from pages 5 and 6 of the DCLG’s publication Permitted

development for householders – Technical Guidance (the PDTG)2 that the

limitations to which GPDO Classes are subject should not be interpreted as

precluding the categorisation as permitted development of building operations

as a whole if components they exclude are permitted development pursuant to

other Classes.

7. Specifically, the PDTG states that when considering whether a development

proposal is permitted development, all of the relevant Parts of the rules and all

the Classes within those Parts need to be taken into account. It goes on to add

that it is essential that any proposed household development is considered in

the context of the permitted development rules as whole and gives, as an

example, the fact that Class A prevents the alteration of a chimney from being

permitted development but that Class G of Part 1 categorises it as such,

subject to the rules set out under that Class.

8. Further guidance on page 33, which relates specifically to limitation B.1(d),

provides additional clarification to the effect that building operations may

amount to permitted development pursuant to a combination of Classes. In

this case, the partial demolition of the chimney stack on the host building’s

east-facing elevation complies with the limitations to which Class G is subject.

This being so, its inclusion within the appeal scheme does not in itself preclude

the enlargement of the roof from enjoying deemed planning permission

pursuant to Class B.

9. The determining limitation in this regard is therefore B.1(b), which states that

development is not permitted if any part of the dwellinghouse would, as a

result of the works, extend beyond the plane of any existing roof slope which

forms part of the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse and fronts a highway.

1 ‘Permitted development’ is development benefiting from deemed planning permission pursuant to the provisions

of the GPDO. 2 As updated in April 2014.


30



The east-facing roof slope of No 22, to which one of the subject dormers has

been added, fronts a highway. However, there is disagreement between the

parties as to whether or not the elevation it forms part of is a ‘principal

elevation’ for the purposes of the GPDO.

10. In considering this question I have taken into account the advice on pages 31

and 32 of the PDTG. This records that, in most cases, the principal elevation

will be that part of the house which faces (directly or at an angle) the main

highway serving the house. It will usually contain the main architectural

features such as main bay windows or a porch serving the main entrance and,

usually, but not exclusively, will be what is understood to be the front of

the house. Necessarily, this guidance is open to interpretation, such that the

designation of a principal elevation is a matter of fact and degree and requires

a judgment to be made.

11. The Council has concluded that the east-facing elevation of the property is the

principal elevation and that, this being so, the east-facing roof dormer fails to

comply with limitation B.1(b). This elevation of the property includes two

doors (including the dwelling’s main entrance) and a bay window. It is also

considerably longer than the north-facing elevation is wide. However, I am

mindful that the latter, although shorter and lacking an entrance door,

nonetheless contains a bay window with a principal bedroom window above.

12. Moreover, it is of significantly higher architectural quality than the east-facing

elevation and presents a better quality finish to the road. In particular, at

ground floor level it comprises high grade red brickwork. There is also red

brick decoration around the first floor window and a canopy above the bay

which is a continuation of that which extends along what is, indisputably, the

principal elevation of the terrace as a whole. Additionally, this elevation is

open, parallel and in very close proximity to the road and reads clearly in the

street scene as the ‘front’ of the property.

13. By contrast, the east-facing elevation presents to the highway a bland expanse

of unpainted pebbledash render, unbroken by significant brickwork. This is a

mere continuation of the finish apparent on the rear, south-facing elevations of

the subject dwelling and its adjoining neighbours and, to my eye, denotes a

lesser status in comparison with the north-facing front elevation. Additionally,

it is set at an angle to the road behind a substantial hedge and at a greater

distance from it than the north-facing elevation.

14. I therefore find that, despite its length and features, the east-facing elevation

of No 22 fulfils a role subservient to that of the north-facing elevation. This

being so, I find no sound reason in this case to depart from the premise

contained in the PDTG that ‘usually … the principal elevation will be what is

understood to be the front of the house’. It follows that the north-facing

elevation, rather than the east-facing, is the principal elevation of No 22 and,

accordingly, that none of the limitations or conditions to which Class B is

subject is breached.

15. On the evidence before me, the rooflights within the appeal scheme are part

and parcel of the dormer windows, having been inserted into their flat roofs,

so do not fall to be assessed separately against permitted development criteria.

This leaves only the window in the east-facing gable to consider. Class A of

Part 1 defines as permitted development the enlargement, improvement or

other alteration of a dwellinghouse, subject to certain limitations and


31



conditions. It thus encompasses the insertion of windows into existing

elevations that are flush therewith.

16. Limitation A.1(i) specifies that development is not permitted pursuant to

Class A if it includes, amongst other things, the alteration of a chimney or an

alteration to any part of the roof of the dwellinghouse. However, the principle

that permitted development status may be derived from a combination of

different Classes, as previously detailed in relation to Class B, again applies. It

is apparent that the window in question is obscure glazed and, in the absence

of any evidence to the contrary, I have no reason to suppose that its opening

component is less than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room it serves. This

being so, I find that the window satisfies the limitations and conditions to which

Class A is subject.

17. I conclude on the balance of probabilities that, at the time of the application,

the appeal scheme in its entirety amounted to permitted development. It was

therefore immune from enforcement action and, accordingly, lawful.

Conclusion

18. For the reasons given above I conclude, on the evidence now available, that

the Council’s refusal to grant a LDC was not well-founded and that the appeal

should succeed. I will exercise the powers transferred to me under section

195(2) of the 1990 Act as amended.

Formal Decision

19. The appeal is allowed and attached to this decision is a certificate of lawful use

or development describing the existing operations which are considered to be

lawful.

Decision date: 17 July 2014

Appeal Ref: APP/G2245/A/14/2217263

110 Oakhill Road, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 1NU

• The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990against a refusal to grant planning permission.

• The appeal is made by Mr D Bowles of D B Design & Build Ltd against the decision ofSevenoaks District Council.

• The application Ref SE/13/03867/FUL, dated 24 December 2013, was refused by notice

dated 24 February 2014.• The development proposed is the demolition of existing building and the construction of

a replacement detached dwelling.

Decision

1. The appeal is dismissed.

Procedural Matter

2. The Government's Planning Practice Guidance was issued on 6 March 2014. I

have taken this guidance into account in reaching my decision.

Main Issue

3. The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and

appearance of the area, including the setting of the Kippington Conservation

Area.

Reasons

4. The character of the area is largely defined by the large dwellings which sit

comfortably within a mature landscape. These dwellings exhibit a wide variety

of styles and designs, and typically stand within substantial plots. There is a

considerable variation in ground levels and, as a result, a number of these

large houses occupy elevated and prominent positions, such that they are

clearly visible from Oakhill Road and make an important contribution to the

overall streetscene.

5. The appeal site is accessed by a long drive rising from Oakhill Road and is

occupied by a detached bungalow and garage. Although the site itself occupies

an elevated position, only the garage is clearly visible from Oakhill Road, the

bungalow being effectively screened by the vegetation along the north-east

boundary of the site. Furthermore, only glimpsed views of the roof of the

bungalow are visible from the public footpath that runs along south-east

boundary of the site although, as the appellants’ photographs show, clearer


37

Appeal Decision APP/G2245/A/14/2217263


views of the roof of the bungalow are possible from this footpath in the winter

months.

6. The proposed replacement dwelling would be a bulky structure, with a

substantial, partly crowned roof and a prominent gable feature to the front

elevation. Although the proposed replacement house would be perceived as

two storey structure when viewed from the south east, in all of the other

elevations a significant element of the building would be over three storeys.

The proposed replacement dwelling would represent a significant increase in

footprint over the existing detached bungalow on the site and, together with

the increased height and bulk, would result in significantly larger structure than

the existing bungalow on the site. As a result, and unlike the existing large

houses in the vicinity from which it can therefore be distinguished, the

proposed replacement dwelling would not sit comfortably on its plot and would

be intrusive within this mature landscape.

7. I accept that, because of the extensive tree cover, the proposed replacement

dwelling would not be prominent in views from Oakhill Road, even in the winter

months. However, the increased height and bulk of the proposed replacement

dwelling would be particularly apparent when viewed from the properties and

access roads to the north west of the appeal site, from where views of the

building would not be as well screened by vegetation. From these lower levels,

the height and bulk of the proposed replacement house would, by reason of the

elevated position of the appeal site, be unduly prominent, even in the context

of the other large houses visible from these locations and the partial screening

by tree and vegetation cover.

8. I appreciate that the properties and access roads to the north west of the

appeal site are not views available to the general public. Nonetheless, these

are views shared by a number of householders and visitors to those properties,

and as such are semi-public views, even in the context of this private

residential road. In my judgement, for the reasons set out above the proposed

replacement dwelling would be harmful to the character and appearance of the

area when viewed from these semi-public areas.

9. Moreover, the proposed replacement dwelling would be visible from the public

footpath that runs along south-east boundary of the site. I accept that views

from this footpath would be limited in the summer months due to the

vegetation on the boundary of the appeal site. However, during the winter

months, the height and bulk of the proposed replacement dwelling would be

apparent through the reduced screening effect of the vegetation. In these

views, by reason of its height, size and proximity to the footpath, the proposed

replacement dwelling would be an unduly prominent and intrusive feature, and

would be harmful to the character of the area.

10. Parts of this public footpath, as well as some of the access roads to the

properties to the north west of the appeal site, are within the Kippington

Conservation Area. The character of the conservation area is derived largely

from the sense of enclosure provided by abundant tree cover and the

undulation of the ground levels, thereby providing attractive longer views. The

appeal site is not itself within the conservation area. However, the bulk and

height of the proposed replacement dwelling would detract from the sense of

enclosure provided by the natural topography and tree cover, and would

detract from the attractive longer views into the conservation area. For that


38



reason, the proposed development would harm the setting of the Kippington

Conservation Area, a harm to which I attach considerable importance and

weight.

11. I recognise that this harm would only arise from a few locations within the

conservation area and for that reason the harm caused would be less than

substantial. In accordance with paragraph 134 of the National Planning Policy

Framework (Framework), it is therefore necessary to weigh the harm caused

against the public benefits arising from the proposal. In that context, I have

not been made aware of any particular public benefit arising from the proposal,

apart from the general benefit of providing a dwelling that could be considered

more energy efficient than the existing building. However, this benefit would

not outweigh the harm caused to the setting of the conservation area.

12. I acknowledge that planning permission was granted for a detached dwelling on

the appeal site is 2009. I have not been provided with full details of that

proposal, but from the limited information available to me it is apparent that

the dwelling granted permission in 2009 was of a different design to that now

proposed. In particular, I note that the first floor of the building was set partly

within the roof, which was itself of a less bulky form than that now proposed.

The dwelling granted planning permission in 2009 was therefore very different

from the current proposal. Consequently, the 2009 permission neither

provides a justification for the proposed development nor a reason to reject it.

Accordingly, I have considered the appeal proposal entirely on its own merits.

13. I conclude that the proposed development would unacceptably harm the

character and appearance of the area. I therefore conclude that the proposed

development would be contrary to Policies SP1 and LO1 of the Sevenoaks

District Core Strategy and Policy EN1 of the Sevenoaks District Local Plan.

These policies require that all development is designed to a high quality and

should respond to the distinctive local character of the area in which it is

situated. The proposed development would also fail to accord with the

importance attached to good design in the Framework.

Other Matters

14. The occupiers of a number of the properties surrounding the appeal site object

to the proposed development on the grounds of the impact on their living

conditions, and I have taken all those representations into account in reaching

my decision. As part of my site inspection I was able to view the appeal site

from Nos. 102, 112 and 120 Oakhill Road which, because of their disposition

around the appeal site, in my view was a representative sample of views of the

appeal site from surrounding dwellings.

15. The house at No 102 Oakhill Road sits at a lower elevation than the appeal site,

and is located some distance away. Views of the appeal site from this property

are partially obscured by intervening tree cover and only a glimpsed view of

the existing bungalow is possible. Whilst the proposed replacement dwelling

would be more visible than the existing bungalow, due to the distance and

intervening tree cover it would not be dominant or overbearing when viewed

from No 102. For the same reasons, I consider that the proposed development

would not result in an unacceptable degree of overlooking to either the house

or the garden of that property, and consequently would not result in a

significant loss of privacy to the occupiers of No 102.


39



16. The rear garden of No 112 adjoins the appeal site and is set at a lower level.

However, there is significant tree screening on the boundary with the appeal

site and the proposed new house would be sited some distance inside the

boundary. Consequently, I consider that the appeal proposal would not result

in an unacceptable degree of overlooking of No 112, including to the rear

garden closest to the appeal site. The dwelling at No 112 is located some

distance from the appeal site and the proposed development would therefore

not be overbearing when viewed from this property. Moreover, because of the

inset from the boundary and the intervening tree cover, the proposed

development would not be overbearing or intrusive when viewed from any part

of the rear garden, and consequently would not unacceptably detract from the

amenity value of that space.

17. The property at No 120 Oakhill Road is located on the opposite side of the

footpath that runs along the south-east of the boundary appeal site. The

house and patio area are set some distance into the plot, but part of the rear

garden adjoins the footpath. There is considerable tree planting within the

appeal site on the boundary with the footpath, and there are also a number of

mature trees within the curtilage of No 120. Having regard to the distance

from the appeal site and the significant amount of intervening tree cover, I

consider that only very limited views of No 120 would be possible from the

proposed replacement dwelling, and these at a considerable distance.

Consequently, I consider that the appeal proposal would not result in the

overlooking of No 120 or a loss of privacy to the occupiers of that property, and

would not be overbearing when viewed from that property.

18. I have given careful consideration to the objections made by the occupiers of

other properties in Oakhill Road in relation to their living conditions. However,

because of the separation distances and intervening tree cover, I consider that

in each case the proposed development would not result in an unacceptable

degree of overlooking or loss of privacy, and would not be overbearing or

intrusive when viewed from those properties. For the same reasons, I also

consider that the proposed development would not result in a loss of light or

sunlight to any of the surrounding residential properties.

19. A number of representations refer to a loss of trees resulting from the appeal

proposal. However, the Council’s arboricultural officer has raised no objections

to the proposal. In view of the extensive tree cover in the area and the limited

number of trees proposed to be removed, I see no reason to take a different

view.

Conclusion

20. Although I have found that the proposed development would not unacceptably

harm the living conditions of the occupiers of the surrounding residential

properties, that does not outweigh the harm caused to the character and

appearance of the area. Accordingly, I conclude that this appeal should be

dismissed.
