20.P.79 Minutes of meeting Tuesday, 24 November 2020 of Planning Committee

Decision – That the minutes of the hybrid Planning Committee meeting held on 24 November 2020 be approved as a correct record for signature by the Chair.

20.P.80 Declarations of Any Interests Councillor Boardman declared an interest on item 3d).

20.P.81 Planning applications to be determined The Director of Customer and Digital submitted six items for consideration. In considering the applications, Members of the Planning Committee took into account the agenda reports, the addendum and the verbal representations and submissions provided by officers and individuals.

20.P.82 19/01050/FUL - Wilbrook, Blue Stone Lane, Mawdesley After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Alistair Morwood that the application be refused. The motion was seconded by Councillor Alan Whittaker. It was proposed by Councillor Martin Boardman and seconded by Councillor Aaron Beaver that planning permission be granted subject to conditions. A vote was taken on the substantive motion first, and the motion was passed (7:4:2) that planning permission be refused for the following reason;

Agenda Page 3 Agenda Item 1


Due to the number of dwellings proposed and the regimented layout, with a cramped arrangement of parking and hardstanding areas which dominate the scheme, the proposal would result in overdevelopment of the site, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. The design of the proposed development is, therefore, contrary the National Planning Policy Framework, the Core Strategy and Policy BNE1 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 - 2021.

20.P.83 20/00930/LBC - Astley Hall, Park Road, Chorley After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Aaron Beaver, seconded by Councillor Danny Gee, and a decision was subsequently taken (unanimously) that Listed Building Consent be granted, subject to conditions in the report.

20.P.84 20/00936/FUL - Whitegates, 75 Gorsey Lane, Mawdesley, Ormskirk After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Alan Whittaker, seconded by Councillor Aaron Beaver, and a decision was subsequently taken (unanimously) that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is harmful by definition and would also cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt. Substantial weight is attached to these harms and it is not considered that very special circumstances exist to justify the proposal. The proposed development, therefore, is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework at Chapter 13.

2. The presence, or otherwise, of bats has not been established as the surveys are out of date and, therefore, the impacts of the proposed development on this European protected species have not been fully assessed. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to policies BNE9 and BNE11 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.

20.P.85 20/01004/FUL - Stalk Farm, High Street, Mawdesley, Ormskirk

Councillor Martin Boardman declared an interest on this item. He spoke as the

applicant’s representative on the item and did not partake in any further discussion following his time allocation and did not partake in the vote.

Registered speaker: Martin Boardman (Applicant’s representative) After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Alistair Morwood and seconded by Councillor Gordon France, that planning permission be granted, subject to conditions in the addendum. This proposal was put to the vote and recorded as follows: FOR: Cllr Molyneaux, Cllr C France, Cllr Beaver, Cllr Caunce, Cllr G France, Cllr Gee, Cllr Gray, Cllr Hargreaves, Cllr Hilton, Cllr Morwood, Cllr Whitham AGAINST: Cllr Whittaker The proposal to grant planning permission subject to conditions in the addendum was therefore approved.



Councillor Martin Boardman then returned to the meeting in his capacity as member

of the Committee for consideration of the remaining items.

20.P.86 20/01065/FUL - Land at Barnes Wallis Way, Barnes Wallis Way, Buckshaw Village Registered speakers: Julie Wild (Objector) and Paul Kallee-Grover (Agent) After careful consideration and following a change to the officer recommendation from Mrs Hayes (Service Lead – Planning) to suggest instead deferral pending the obtaining of air quality data, it was proposed by Councillor Martin Boardman, seconded by Councillor Aaron Beaver, and a decision was subsequently taken (unanimously) that the decision be deferred to allow officers to investigate the air quality data at the site due to the close proximity to the KFC drive-thru.

20.P.87 20/01080/FUL - Green Bank House, Wigan Road, Clayton-Le-Woods This item was withdrawn from the agenda.

20.P.88 Appeals Report Members noted the report of the Director of Customer and Digital which set out planning appeals and decisions received between 26 October and 30 November 2020. Four planning appeals were dismissed, and one enforcement appeal had been lodged.

20.P.89 Any urgent business previously agreed with the Chair The Chair wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Chair Date

APPLICATION REPORT – 20/00920/FUL

Validation Date: 16 September 2020 Ward: Brindle And Hoghton Type of Application: Full Planning Proposal: Alterations to the existing hotel building in association with the proposed change of use from a hotel to eight residential units Location: Oak Royal Golf And Country Club Hotel Bury Lane Withnell Chorley PR6 8SW Case Officer: Mike Halsall Applicant: C Downes, Hoghton Leisure Ltd Agent: Mr Martin Parrish, The Planning Group Ltd Consultation expiry: 25 November 2020 Decision due by: 15 January 2021 (extension of time agreed)

RECOMMENDATION 1. It is recommended that planning permission is granted subject to conditions. SITE DESCRIPTION 2. The application site is located in the Green Belt off Bury Lane, Withnell and comprises the

Oak Royal Golf Course hotel and clubhouse building.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 3. The application as originally submitted proposed the conversion of the existing clubhouse

and hotel building to create nine residential units / apartments and the erection of a new building to house the golf clubhouse. Following discussions with the Council’s case officer the scheme was amended by the applicant to remove the proposed new building. This was because it would be considered inappropriate development in the Green Belt and could not be supported.

4. The revised proposal includes the retention of the clubhouse within the existing building and a reduction in the number of proposed apartments, to eight. The proposed change of use, therefore, only relates to the hotel part of the building which would be replaced with eight apartments.

5. The Planning Statement submitted in support of the proposal explains that the reasons for the scheme are as follows: Following the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, the applicants were extremely concerned at the potential impact the pandemic would have on the financial viability of the hotel in the future. The options for other commercial uses has been seriously considered but the continuous advancement in technology has seriously damaged the requirements for businesses,

Agenda Page 7 Agenda Item 3a

organisations to hold face to face meetings/conferences/seminars etc and therefore the demand for such facilities has reduced significantly over the last few years and dramatically since the onset of the pandemic. Therefore, there is no requirement for persons to gather at a central location, potentially for overnight stays and this source of income was steadily declining for the hotel. The unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 on the hospitality business basically has wiped out the potential for the hotel to operate as a traditional hotel, with current requirements for social distancing resulting in a massive reduction in the manner in which the business can operate, yet alone make a profit. The uncertainty of how the future will be impacted upon by the pandemic is unknown and as clearly demonstrated, there have been and will continue to be, serious job losses everywhere but potentially none more so than in the hospitality section. Regretfully, the applicant has decided that there is no alternative but to cease trading and seek a suitable alternative use and it is considered that the property readily lends itself to providing high quality residential accommodation. Revenue from the sale of the units will support the continuing operation of golf business and it is likely that golf will see a boom in interest due to the nature of the activity, i.e. social distancing in the open area and providing regular exercise. The size of the retained bar/community room reflects that this will be aimed at members and their guests.

Due to the number of businesses that are closing and premises that will become vacant and in danger of remaining empty for the foreseeable future, the property has not been marketed as a hotel as the current times are unprecedented in terms of properties becoming available and the need to find alternative uses as quickly as possible. A Feasibility and Associated Costs of Recovery Statement of Oak Royal Hotel and Country Club prepared by Trimsum Accounting Services Ltd accompanies the application the conclusion of which states as follows: - “Taking into account the cost of bringing the hotel backup to standard, the cost of repairing the loss of Goodwill by the past tenant and the costs and uncertainties in recovering business post Coronavirus, my conclusion is that at this point in time, the business at Oak Royal Hotel is rendered worthless. The size of investment needed to fund the recovery cannot be justified in looking at potential medium-term returns”

REPRESENTATIONS 6. Representations have been received from two individuals citing the following grounds of

objection:

Potential overloading of the septic tank

Noise, disturbance and pollution during construction work

Highway safety and congestion

Potential for problem neighbours

Traffic may turn down private lane

Harm to wildlife 7. There is no reason to consider that the existing method for dealing with foul water at the

site would be insufficient to handle that created by the proposed change in use of the building. It would be the applicant’s responsibility to ensure the system can cope with any additional throughput and it is highly unlikely they would want to risk the system failing.

8. There is no evidence to suggest there would be any impact upon ecological receptors as a result of the proposed change of use.


9. Other issues identified above that fall to be considered material planning considerations are discussed in more detail below.

CONSULTATIONS 10. Lancashire County Council Highway Services (LCC Highways): Requested amendments be

made to the layout of the car park which were then implemented by the applicant’s agent and revised plans were submitted. LCC Highways consider the proposal is acceptable from a highway safety perspective and have recommended a condition be attached to any grant of planning permission relating to the provision of wheel cleaning equipment during the construction phase. They have also suggested an informative be attached to remind the applicant of their duties to keep rights of way unobstructed.

11. United Utilities: Have responded to state that surface water should be drained separately to foul water and that surface water should be managed sustainably in the following order of priority:

1. into the ground (infiltration); 2. to a surface water body; 3. to a surface water sewer, highway drain, or another drainage system; 4. to a combined sewer. The applicant has confirmed that no changes are proposed to the existing situation which is that surface water is directed to a watercourse and foul water to a package treatment plant. United Utilities comments were received based upon the originally submitted proposal and so the comments will relate to the previously proposed new building, rather than the proposed change of use to the existing building.

12. Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA): No comments have been received. This is not the type/size of proposal upon which the LLFA comment.

13. Withnell Parish Council: No comments have been received. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Principle of the development Green Belt 14. Paragraphs 143 and 144 of The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework)

state: Inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. When considering any planning application, local planning authorities should ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt. ‘Very special circumstances’ will not exist unless the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm resulting from the proposal, is clearly outweighed by other considerations.

15. Paragraph 145 of the Framework states that a local planning authority should regard the construction of new buildings as inappropriate in the Green Belt but lists a number of exceptions. Paragraph 146 of the Framework goes on to state that certain other forms of development are also not inappropriate in the Green Belt provided they preserve its openness and do not conflict with the purposes of including land within it. One of these exceptions is relevant to the current application, as follows:

the re-use of buildings provided that the buildings are of permanent and substantial construction

16. With regards to the above Framework exception, policy HS9 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012

– 2026 states that the re-use of existing buildings in the Green Belt, Safeguarded Land and Area of Other Open Countryside will be allowed providing all of the following criteria are met:

a. The proposal does not have a materially greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it;


b. The proposal would not harm the character or quality of the countryside or landscape; c. The re-use of the building must not be likely to result in additional farm buildings which would have a harmful effect on the openness of the Green Belt; d. If an agricultural building, it is not one substantially completed within ten years of the date of the application; e. The building is of permanent and substantial construction and capable of conversion without more than 30% reconstruction; f. The building must be capable of conversion without the need for additions or alterations which would change its existing form and character. Particular attention will be given to curtilage formation which should be tightly drawn around the building footprint and the requirement for outbuildings, which should be minimal; g. The building must already have, or there exists the capability of creating, a reasonable vehicular access to a public highway that is available for use without creating traffic hazards and without the need for road improvements which would have and undue environmental impact; h. The development would not result in the loss or damage to any important wildlife habitat or protected species.

With regards to the change in use of the building to residential units / apartments: a. The majority of changes would be internal with exterior changes relating to window openings and creation of dormer windows. It is not considered in this instance that the proposal would have a materially greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it; b. The building is no longer used for its intended purpose. The change in use of the building would have no impact upon its character, the countryside or landscape. c. The building is not in agricultural use. The proposal would not, therefore, result in the need for more agricultural buildings. d. Not applicable. e. The building is capable of conversion without the need for more than 30% reconstruction. f. The majority of changes would be internal with exterior changes relating to window openings and creation of dormer windows. The proposal would make little if any difference to the form and character of the building. g. LCC Highways have confirmed that they have no objections to the proposed access arrangements. h. The proposal would not result in the loss or damage to any important wildlife habitat or protected species.

17. It is also necessary to consider whether the proposed development conflicts with the

purposes of including land in the Green Belt. Paragraph 134 of the Framework sets out the five Green Belt purposes, which the scheme is assessed against as below:

Purpose 1 (to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas). The proposal does not relate to a large built up area. The area is rural in nature.

Purpose 2 (to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another) Development of the site would not lead to the coalescence of neighbouring towns. In respect of the neighbouring villages, the development would not lead to a coalescence of neighbouring villages. The land is already developed and there is a large gap between the nearest towns/villages/settlements.

Purpose 3 (to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment;). The proposed changes to the building would not result in any harmful encroachment into the countryside. The land is previously developed and the change from a hotel to apartments would not result in encroachment.

Purpose 4 (to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns;). This does not apply as the site is not located near a historical town.

Purpose 5 (to assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land).


It is not considered that the proposal conflicts with this purpose as the proposal seeks to re-use previously developed land.

18. The proposed building is considered to be of permanent and substantial construction and

the change of use to apartments would not harm the openness of the Green Belt and would not conflict with any of its purposes. The proposed change of use, including the rear extension, is therefore considered to be acceptable in principle and complies with the Framework and policy HS9 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026.

Sustainability 19. A key issue in the determination of this planning application is the sustainability of creating

an isolated residential development which is primarily car orientated in an area designated as Green Belt. This raises the question as to whether this is an appropriate location for residential development. The Framework sets out the three dimensions to sustainable development including ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth and innovation and by providing the supply of housing required to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services.

20. Paragraph 79 of the Framework relates to rural housing and states that planning policies and decisions should avoid the development of isolated homes in the countryside unless one or more of five criteria apply and criteria c) states that the development would reuse redundant or disused buildings and enhance its immediate setting.

21. Policy 1 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy confirms that growth and investment will be focussed on well located brownfield sites and the Strategic Location of Central Preston, the Key Service Centres of Chorley and Leyland and the other main urban areas in South Ribble, whilst protecting the character of suburban and rural areas. Some greenfield development will be required on the fringes of the main urban areas. To promote vibrant local communities and support services, an appropriate scale of growth and investment will be encouraged in identified Local Service Centres, providing it is in keeping with their local character and setting, and at certain other key locations outside the main urban areas. The Policy confirms that growth and investment will be concentrated in Chorley Town (as a key service centre), some growth and investment at Adlington, Clayton Brook/Green, Clayton-le-Woods (Lancaster Lane), Coppull, Euxton and Whittle-le-Woods (as Urban Local Service Centres) and limited growth and investment at Brinscall / Withnell, Eccleston and Longton (as Rural Local Service Centres).

22. As noted, Withnell is defined as a Rural Local Service Centre however this site is outside the boundary of Withnell (600m to the north of the settlement boundary) and this site is not identified within Policy 1 as an area for growth. The Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026 identifies appropriate sites for development including residential development. This site is not identified and whilst this does not necessarily mean that residential development cannot be accommodated on unallocated sites it does bring into question the appropriateness of this site for residential development taking into account that this area is not identified for growth within Policy 1 of the Core Strategy. The Council has undertaken sustainability appraisals of all the sites suggested and chosen the most sustainable sites for allocation and this site cannot be considered sustainable being primarily car orientated isolated from local services.

23. In relation to the issue of the sustainability of the location, the applicant has provided the following justification: Access onto Bury Lane from the site is to the west of the site with Bury Lane providing access to the north onto the A674 Chorley Road which in turn provides access to the M65 to the north. There is a public pavement running alongside Bury Lane from the site to Withnell and there is a regular bus service along this road.


Withnell has the following services/facilities: St Pauls Church St Joseph’s Primary School Oak Royal Golf Club and Fishery Café Pharmacy Donaldson Timber Merchants Clearwater Music School Walmsleys Textiles Banks Wealth Management X and P Civil Engineering MD Plant and Trailer Services Studio 19 Hairdressers Quarry – Armstrong Withnell Sensors – Hospital equipment Brinscall Interiors

Brinscall has the following services/facilities:

Premier Inn Swimming Pool St Josephs Social Club Post Office The Cottage Tea Room I and J Butchers Oak Tree Public House Cricketers Arms Public House Matrix Dental Lab Hillside Methodist Church Nature Trail Nursery Cricket Club St Johns Primary School

There will be potential significant gains for the owners of commercial properties in the nearby villages of Withnell and Brinscall from the occupiers of the apartments using the shops, pubs etc in the villages rather than travelling further to Blackburn or Chorley. Compared to the number of visits that would have been generated by guests at the hotel either staying in the accommodation or attending functions when fully operational, there will be a huge reduction in traffic movements to and from the site. Not only will private vehicle movements be reduced but also delivery vehicles, including daily laundry collections and food deliveries but also taxis, and mini buses taking people to and away from functions.

24. In light of the above and considering that this proposal represents the reuse of an existing

building that the applicant has stated is no longer economically viable to continue in its current use, it is considered the proposal is acceptable in principle.

Impact on character and appearance of locality 25. The Framework attaches considerable importance to achieving good design and a high-

quality built environment. It states that planning policies and decisions should respond to local character and history and seek to reinforce local distinctiveness. The importance of high-quality design is reflected in the Central Lancashire Core Strategy (policy 17) and policy BNE1 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 - 2026. A planning condition can be attached to any grant of planning permission to ensure that the external facing materials of the proposed new elements of the building match those of the existing building. The proposal would make little change to the design or appearance of the building. The proposal is in compliance with policy BNE1 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026 in this regard.


Impact on neighbour amenity 26. Policy BNE1 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 - 2026 states that new development must not

cause harm to any neighbouring property by virtue of overlooking, overshadowing, or by creating an overbearing impact.

27. The nearest dwelling to the application site is Hill Top Farm, located 30m to the south. The application site is substantially lower than the dwelling of Hill Top Farm and there are layers of well-established intervening vegetation between the two buildings. It is not considered that the proposal would result in any unacceptable harm to the amenity of the occupants of Hill Top Farm or any other dwellings. Any impacts during construction work would be temporary and limited. It is considered that a planning condition can be attached to any grant of planning permission requiring signage to be erected at the site entrance, directing construction vehicles to the application site to limit the potential for vehicles entering private driveways. The condition can also require the Chorley Council document "Code of Practice for Construction and Demolition" to be adhered to throughout the construction period.

Highway safety 28. The Council’s parking standard set out at policy ST4 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026

requires two off-road parking spaces for a three-bedroom apartment and three spaces for a four or more bedroomed apartment. The proposed development has 2no. four-bed apartments and 6no. three-bed apartments and so requires a total of 18no. parking spaces. The proposed site layout identifies 38no. spaces which includes 7no. visitor spaces and 7no. disabled bays. Sheltered cycle-parking is also to be provided. LCC Highways have raised no objection to the proposal and it is, therefore, considered that the proposal complies with policy ST4 of the Chorley Local Plan 2012 -2026.

Public open space (POS) 29. Policy HS4 of the Chorley Local Plan 2021-2026 requires public open space contributions

for new dwellings to be provided in order to overcome the harm of developments being implemented without facilities being provided. 30. Until recently the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) previously set out a

threshold for tariff-style contributions, stating that planning obligations should not be sought from developments of 10 or less dwellings and which have a maximum combined floorspace of no more than 1000 square metres. This guidance has been removed from the latest NPPG and has been replaced with a requirement that planning obligations for affordable housing should only be sought for residential developments that are major developments.

31. Specifically the guidance was derived from the order of the Court of Appeal dated 13 May 2016, which gave legal effect to the policy set out in the Written Ministerial Statement of 28 November 2014 which has not been withdrawn and which should, therefore, clearly still be taken into account as a material consideration in the assessment of planning applications.

32. To this end whilst it would normally be inappropriate to require any affordable housing or

social infrastructure contributions on sites below the thresholds stated, local circumstances may justify lower (or no) thresholds as an exception to the national policy. It would then be a matter for the decision-maker to decide how much weight to give to lower thresholds justified by local circumstances.

33. Consequently, the Council must determine what lower thresholds are appropriate based on

local circumstances as an exception to national policies and how much weight to give to the benefit of requiring a payment for 10, or fewer, dwellings. The Council has agreed to only seek contributions towards provision for children/young people on developments of 10 dwellings or less.

34. Local Plan Policy HS4A sets a standard of 0.08 hectares of public open space provision for

children/young people per 1,000 population. There is currently a deficit of provision in Brindle and Hoghton in relation to this standard, a contribution towards new provision in the ward is, therefore, required from this development. However, a financial contribution for off-


site provision can only be requested if there is an identified scheme for new provision and none are currently identified. No contribution can, therefore, be requested for this scheme.

Community Infrastructure Levy 35. The Chorley CIL Infrastructure Charging Schedule provides a specific amount for

development. The CIL Charging Schedule was adopted on 16 July 2013 and charging commenced on 1 September 2013. The proposed development would be a chargeable development and the charge is subject to indexation in accordance with the Council’s Charging Schedule.

CONCLUSION

36. The proposal involves the re-use of an existing building of permanent and substantial construction, would retain the character of the building and would be appropriate development in the Green Belt. There would be no unacceptable impacts upon highway safety, ecological receptors or residential amenity from the proposal. It is, therefore, recommended that the application be approved.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning. 3. All external facing materials of the development hereby permitted shall match in colour, form and texture to those on the existing building and no others substituted unless alternatives are first submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, when the development shall then be carried out in accordance with the alternatives approved. Reason: In the interests of the visual amenity of the area in general and the existing building in particular. 4. Before the use of the site hereby permitted is brought into operation and for the full period of construction, facilities shall be provided within the site by which means the wheels of vehicles may be cleaned before leaving the site. Reason: To avoid the possibility of the public highway being affected by the deposit of mud and/or loose materials thus creating a potential hazard to road users. 5. Prior to the commencement of development directional signage, details of which shall have been first agreed with the Local Planning Authority, shall be erected at the site entrance directing construction vehicles to the site of the approved development. The Chorley Council document "Code of Practice for Construction and Demolition" shall be adhered to throughout the construction period. Reason: The interests of both amenity and public safety. 6. The approved covered cycle store shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before first occupation/use of the development. The facilities shall be retained at all times thereafter.


Reason: To encourage sustainable transport modes.

APPLICATION REPORT – 20/01142/REM

Validation Date: 13 November 2020 Ward: Euxton South Type of Application: Reserved Matters Proposal: Reserved matters application (appearance, layout, scale and landscaping) for the erection of 3no. detached dwellings (Phases 3, 4 and 6a) pursuant to outline planning permission 15/00162/OUTMAJ (Outline application for a self-build residential development comprising up to 8 detached dwellings with all matters reserved save for access) Location: Euxton Mill Dawbers Lane Euxton Case Officer: Mr Iain Crossland Applicant: Mr Rick Downes, EPD No.1 Agent: Mr James Glover, selfbuildplans Consultation expiry: 4 December 2020 Decision due by: 15 January 2021 (extension of time to be agreed)

RECOMMENDATION 1. It is recommended that reserved matters consent is granted subject to conditions. SITE DESCRIPTION 2. The application site is located in the Green Belt at Euxton and was previously occupied by a

large mill building, which was demolished owing to safety concerns in 2011. The historic boundary wall remains adjacent to the highway at Dawbers Lane, and two dwellings have been constructed to the northern part of the site adjacent to this boundary in addition to the construction of the estate road. Other than this remaining part of the site comprises cleared ground.

3. The site is located between the River Yarrow to the south and Dawbers Lane to the north and slopes from the highway down towards the river. The area comprises sporadic ribbon development of mostly residential properties and surrounding open agricultural land of lowland character.

4. Outline planning permission was granted in November 2018 for a self-build residential development comprising up to 8no. detached dwellings with all matters reserved save for access (15/00162/OUTMAJ). Several reserved matters applications have since been approved and two dwellings completed to the northern part of the site adjacent to the highway.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 5. This application seeks reserved matters consent for the erection of 3no. detached dwellings

on plots that form phases 3, 4 and 6a pursuant to the outline planning permission detailed above. The proposed dwellings would be large detached dwellings of traditional design

Agenda Page 45 Agenda Item 3c

style. Retaining walls would be constructed to the rear of each dwelling in order to respond to the distinct change in levels towards the river.

REPRESENTATIONS 6. No representations have been received. CONSULTATIONS 7. Euxton Parish Council: No comments have been received.

8. Environment Agency: Any comments will be reported on the Addendum. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Principle of the development 9. The acceptability of the principle of the development has been established by the grant of

outline planning permission. The S106 legal agreement that is attached to the outline permission sets out that the total available volume across the site is 32,413 cubic metres. The cumulative volume of development resulting from the proposed dwellings and those that have been previously approved would have a combined volume well beneath that set out in the S106 agreement, leaving scope for the remaining plots. Once the volume limit set out in the S106 agreement has been met, then any subsequent applications would not be acceptable under the provisions of the outline planning permission and would need to be assessed as part of a fresh planning application and considered on their own merits, however, a significant amount of volume remains available for development.

Impact on the character and appearance of the locality 10. The application site is visible from Dawbers Lane located to the north, where the boundary

consists of a distinctive stone wall, which is to be retained as part of the overall development. Beyond the stone wall are two recently completed dwellings of traditional design style faced in red brick. From Dawbers Lane the land slopes towards the River Yarrow to the south, whilst there is a more distinct change in levels closer to the river. The phase 3, 4 and 6a plots are located to the south of the site adjacent to the boundary with the River Yarrow. As such they would not be prominent when viewed from Dawbers Lane as they would be sited at a lower level and screened by the dwellings on the plots adjacent to Dawbers Lane. The dwellings would be most visible from the public footpath alongside the River Yarrow to the south.

11. The proposed dwellings are large detached houses of traditional design style. They would have features including perpendicular gables, chimney stacks, and brick and stone work elements providing visual interest features. The proposed dwellings would be faced in red brick with the roof laid in grey tiles.

12. There is no predominant design style in the immediate area of the site with properties

consisting of a range of residential types from traditional to more modern. The proposed dwellings would not, therefore, conflict with any particular local design character. The scale of the proposed dwellings is representative of what might be expected within a development of this type and reflects the scale of other properties in the vicinity, and those that have already been built. They are also of a suitable siting and plot to dwelling ratio. The design and siting of the proposed dwellings are, therefore, considered to be appropriate in the context of the site.

13. The plots would be landscaped with enclosed gardens to the rear and more open land and

driveway areas to the front. Retaining walls would be required to the rear in order to deal with the change in levels, which has provided the opportunity for raise patio areas at the immediate rear of each property.

14. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) attaches considerable importance

on achieving good design and a high quality built environment. It states that planning


policies and decisions should respond to local character and history and seek to reinforce local distinctiveness. The importance of high quality design is reflected in the Central Lancashire Core Strategy (policy 17) and the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026 (policy BNE1). It is considered that detached dwellings of the design proposed on these plots would be appropriate in the context of the character of the area.

15. Overall, it is considered that the impact on the character and appearance of the locality

would be acceptable. Impact on the neighbour amenity 16. The proposed dwellings would be located approximately 25m to the west of the nearest

existing dwelling at 6 Armetriding Reaches. There is also an intervening plot between the proposed dwellings and this existing dwelling. The degree of separation and relative positioning are such, therefore, that there would be no unacceptable impact on light, outlook or privacy in relation to this dwelling.

17. It is acknowledged that the proposed dwellings would form part of a wider development and have been designed in such a way so as to be compatible with the surrounding plots without creating an amenity impact or restricting the development potential of adjacent plots. There would be an adequate degree of separation between the proposed dwellings and the two dwellings already completed as part of this development to the north at 7 and 8 Armetriding Reaches.

18. It is noted that there would be windows to habitable rooms at ground floor in the side

elevations of the proposed dwellings that would face side elevations at close proximity. Although this would result in some impact on outlook and light for the prospective occupiers, these windows would not form the sole source of outlook to the rooms they would serve and would be secondary windows. Furthermore, the occupiers would be fully aware of the impact prior to occupation. In order to ensure an adequate degree of screening around the plots it is recommended that a condition is attached to any grant of permission requiring boundary treatment details.

Highway safety 19. The proposed dwellings would have more than four bedrooms and on-site parking for at

least three cars, which meets with the Council’s adopted parking standards as set out in the Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026. Matters of access have already been approved as part of the outline planning application.

CIL 20. The development is CIL liable, however, in line with the adopted CIL charges and

associated regulations, it is likely that a self-build exemption will be applied for in respect of the proposal, which may result in a £0 CIL liability on the proviso that the correct procedures are adhered to including the submission of an assumption of liability form.

CONCLUSION 21. The details of the proposed dwellings are considered to be acceptable and it is

recommended that the application for reserved matters consent is approved subject to conditions.

Plot 5 – Planning Drawing SBP4678/PD/05 07 December 2020

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

3. Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved samples of all external facing and roofing materials (notwithstanding any details shown on previously submitted plan(s) and specification) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. All works shall be undertaken strictly in accordance with the details as approved. Reason: To ensure that the materials used are visually appropriate to the locality.

4. Before the development hereby permitted is first commenced full details of existing


and proposed ground levels and proposed building finished floor levels (all relative to ground levels adjoining the site) shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, notwithstanding any such detail shown on previously submitted plan(s). The development shall be carried out strictly in conformity with the approved details. Reason: To protect the appearance of the locality and in the interests of the amenities of local residents.

5. Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved, full details of the alignment, height and appearance of all fences and walls and gates to be erected (notwithstanding any such detail shown on previously submitted plan(s)) shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No dwelling shall be occupied until all fences and walls shown in the approved details to bound its plot have been erected in conformity with the approved details. Other fences and walls shown in the approved details shall have been erected in conformity with the approved details prior to substantial completion of the development. Reason: To ensure a visually satisfactory form of development and to provide reasonable standards of privacy to residents.

6. Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved development details shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority demonstrating that each dwelling will achieve a minimum Dwelling Emission Rate of 19% above 2013 Building Regulations. The development thereafter shall be completed in accordance with the approved details. Reason: Policy 27 of the Adopted Central Lancashire Core Strategy requires new dwellings to be built to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 however following the Deregulation Bill 2015 receiving Royal Ascent it is no longer possible to set conditions with requirements above a Code Level 4 equivalent. However as Policy 27 is an adopted Policy it is still possible to secure energy efficiency reductions as part of new residential schemes in the interests of minimising the environmental impact of the development. This needs to be provided prior to the commencement so is can be assured that the design meets the required dwelling emission rate.

ADDENDUM

ITEM 3c - 20/01142/REM – Euxton Mill The recommendation remains as per the original report Environment Agency have made the following comments: As previously stated, it is essential at this location that there is 8m of unobstructed land between top of bank and any development for essential maintenance requirements, this includes property boundary fencing. From the submitted drawings it appears that the 8m area has not been measured correctly from the top of bank of the main river and appears to be from the river line. It should also be made clear what boundary fencing is proposed at the southern end of the plots. Officer comment: The applicant has not accurately shown the 8m buffer zone with the river bank top, within which part of the garden areas fall. It is, therefore, recommended that a condition be attached to any grant of reserved matters consent in this instance requiring such detail and details of all proposed boundary treatment, which can then be assessed in consultation with the Environment Agency. The following condition has been amended: From: 5. Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved, full details of the alignment, height and appearance of all fences and walls and gates to be erected (notwithstanding any such detail shown on previously submitted plan(s)) shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No dwelling shall be occupied until all fences and walls shown in the approved details to bound its plot have been erected in conformity with the approved details. Other fences and walls shown in the approved details shall have been erected in conformity with the approved details prior to substantial completion of the development. Reason: To ensure a visually satisfactory form of development and to provide reasonable standards of privacy to residents.

To: Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved, full details of the alignment, height and appearance of all fences and walls and gates to be erected (notwithstanding any such detail shown on previously submitted plan(s)) shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any details shall include a site plan and clear cross sections through the plots showing the River Yarrow, top of bank and the 8m distance to any boundary fencing. No dwelling shall be occupied until all fences and walls shown in the approved details to bound its plot have been erected in conformity


with the approved details. Other fences and walls shown in the approved details shall have been erected in conformity with the approved details prior to substantial completion of the development. Reason: To ensure a visually satisfactory form of development and to provide reasonable standards of privacy to residents.

ADDENDUM

ITEM 3b - 20/01080/FUL - Green Bank House This item has been withdrawn from the agenda.

ITEM 3c - 20/01142/REM – Euxton Mill The recommendation remains as per the original report Environment Agency have made the following comments: As previously stated, it is essential at this location that there is 8m of unobstructed land between top of bank and any development for essential maintenance requirements, this includes property boundary fencing. From the submitted drawings it appears that the 8m area has not been measured correctly from the top of bank of the main river and appears to be from the river line. It should also be made clear what boundary fencing is proposed at the southern end of the plots. Officer comment: The applicant has not accurately shown the 8m buffer zone with the river bank top, within which part of the garden areas fall. It is, therefore, recommended that a condition be attached to any grant of reserved matters consent in this instance requiring such detail and details of all proposed boundary treatment, which can then be assessed in consultation with the Environment Agency. The following condition has been amended: From: 5. Prior to the erection of the superstructure of the dwellings hereby approved, full details of the alignment, height and appearance of all fences and walls and gates to be erected (notwithstanding any such detail shown on previously submitted plan(s)) shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No dwelling shall be occupied until all fences and walls shown in the approved details to bound its plot have been erected in conformity with the approved details. Other fences and walls shown in the approved details shall have been erected in conformity with the approved details prior to substantial completion of the development. Reason: To ensure a visually satisfactory form of development and to provide reasonable standards of privacy to residents.
