Proposed erection of 20 dwellings, with associated new access (via Tump Lane), car parking arrangements, communal house, new POS (extension of existing play area) and new stretches of footpath with passing places (north and west bound along Tump Lane).

Application approved with a change to the conditions.

Councillor Jennie Bartlett acted as local ward member for the application below.  She was acting as a proxy for the local ward member for Birch  who had declared an interest in the application.

 

The Principal Planning Officer provided a presentation on the application and the updates/representations received following the publication of the agenda.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mr James, local resident, spoke in objection to the application and Ms Shaw, the applicant, spoke in support.

 

In accordance with the Council’s constitution the proxy local ward member spoke on the application. In summary, she explained that the application proposed a co-housing model which incorporated affordable housing elements with a priority for local residents of Much Birch. The development would contribute to the overall housing strategy in Herefordshire and locally, in accordance with the neighbourhood development plan (NDP) policy MB9. The development was environmentally sympathetic, existing planting would be maintained and additional planting would be provided on site. There would be an extension to the childrens’ play area and new equipment would be provided as part of the application. During the consultation period the applicant had replied positively to correspondence from consultees and to all queries received. Although there was no immediate plan to adopt the internal road as part of local authority highways it would be built to a high standard that could be adopted in future if appropriate. As part of the application, improvements to highway safety along Tump Lane had been proposed including a new footway. This was in accordance with NDP policy MB1. The applicant had attempted to address all concerns regarding the development including objections to the loss of garages which had been mitigated by the provision of new parking spaces on the site. There was a good level of support for the application and the site formed part of NDP policy MB8. The local parish council had no objections to the proposal and no objections had been raised at the parish council meeting at which the application was considered. The principle for development on the site had been established, the conditions provided a good framework to regulate the development and support was expressed for the production of a construction management plan.

 

The committee debated the application. There was support for the application across the committee. The committee raised the importance of protecting the existing play area during construction and the inclusion of a condition relating to EV charging on the site.

 

The proxy local ward member was given the opportunity to close the debate. She explained that the protection of the existing play area during construction was welcomed and the proposal included provision for 8 electric charging points in the communal parking area.

 

Councillor Richard Thomas proposed and Councillor Dave Davis seconded a motion that the application be approved with a change to the conditions to protect the existing play area during construction and to require the provision of EV charging points.

 

The motion was put to the vote and was carried unanimously.

INFORMATIVES:

 

1. The Authority would advise the applicant (and their contractors) that they have a legal Duty of Care as regards wildlife protection. The majority of UK wildlife is subject to some level of legal protection through the Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 as amended) and the Habitats and Species Regulations (2019 as amended), with enhanced protection for special “Higher Status Protected Species” such as all Bat species, Great Crested Newts, Otters, Dormice, Crayfish and reptile species that are present and widespread across the County. All nesting birds are legally protected from disturbance at any time of the year. Care should be taken to plan work and at all times of the year undertake the necessary precautionary checks and develop relevant working methods prior to work commencing. If in any doubt it advised that advice from a local professional ecology consultant is obtained. If any protected species or other wildlife is found or disturbed during works then all works should stop and the site made safe until professional ecology advice and any required ‘licences’ have been obtained. Any additional lighting should fully respect locally dark landscapes and associated public amenity and nature conservation interests.

 

2. The applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water for any connection to the public sewer  under Section 106 of the Water industry Act 1991. If the connection to the public sewer network is either via a lateral drain (i.e. a drain which extends beyond the connecting property boundary) or via a new sewer (i.e. serves more than one property), it is now a mandatory requirement to first enter into a Section 104 Adoption Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991). The design of the sewers and lateral drains must also conform to the Welsh Ministers Standards for Gravity Foul Sewers and Lateral Drains, and conform with the publication "Sewers for Adoption"- 7th Edition. Further information can be obtained via the Developer Services pages of www.dwrcymru.com

 

3. The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on our maps of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011. The presence of such assets may affect the proposal. In order to assist us in dealing with the proposal the applicant may contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water to establish the location and status of the apparatus. Under the  Water Industry Act 1991 Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has rights of access to its apparatus at all times.

 

4. The applicant is advised that under Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991, any works affecting a public sewer or other asset, including the diversion of a mains sewer, require approval from the relevant water undertaker (in this case, Welsh Water). The applicant must submit a formal application to Welsh Water (or any succeeding asset owner) for the diversion of the asset. This process is separate from the planning permission process and must be completed before the development can proceed in accordance with the approved plans. The applicant is reminded that failure to secure the necessary diversion approval will prevent lawful implementation of the development

 

5. In accordance with National Planning Policy Framework (Edition 11) and Technical Advice Note 12  (Design), the applicant is advised to take a sustainable approach in considering water supply in new development proposals, including utilising approaches that improve water efficiency and reduce water consumption. We would recommend that the applicant liaises with the relevant Local Authority Building Control department to discuss their water efficiency requirements.

 

6. It is an offence under Section 148 of the Highways Act 1980 to allow mud or other debris to be transmitted onto the public highway.  The attention of the applicant is drawn to the need to keep the highway free from any mud or other material emanating from the application site or any works pertaining thereto.

 

7. No work on the site should commence until engineering details of the improvements to the public highway have been approved by the Highway Authority and an agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 entered into.  Please contact the Senior Engineer, PO Box 236, Plough Lane, Hereford HR4 0WZ to progress the agreement.

 

8. It is the responsibility of the developer to arrange for a suitable outfall or discharge point.  It cannot be assumed that the highway drainage system can be used for such purposes.

 

9. In connection with Condition 13, the applicant is advised that advice on its formulation and content can be obtained from the Travel Plan Team at Herefordshire Council’s Transportation Team, PO Box 236, Plough Lane, Hereford HR4 0WZ.

 

10. The applicant's attention is drawn to the requirement for design to conform to Herefordshire Council's 'Highways Design Guide for New Developments' and  'Highways Specification for New Developments'.
