The Planning Team Leader, Adam Madge, summarised late correspondence which had been circulated at the meeting. This included a revision to the Officer recommendation due to ecology and drainage responses, details of the requirement of a S106 agreement reference to a typo on page 23, para 5 which should read 31 two storey dwellings, not 36 and a further letter from a local resident.

 

He then presented the application which was for the erection of 31 dwellings and general practice surgery (Class E) and associated landscape and access works.

 

The presentation slides showed the site area which was indicated by a red line. There was also a section of land indicated in blue, where landscaping, a community orchard and an open space was planned.

 

The village of Hindon was in the AONB and the site was an allocated site for housing in the Hindon Neighbourhood Plan (NHP).

 

The proposal included a variety of detached and terraced housing in a traditional style, with an existing footpath to link the development to the village, as there was no footpath along the main road.

 

As set out in the report and noted during the presentation, the application had generated 62 letters of objection, and 25 letters containing other comments including one petition.

 

The main issues which were considered to be material to the determination of the application were noted as:

 

·        Principle (including compliance with policy and the neighbourhood plan)

·        Other policy considerations

·        Character & Design

·        Neighbouring Amenities

·        Highway Safety

·        Ecology

·       Other

 

The application was recommended for Approval with conditions.

 

The Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer, where it was confirmed that the site was significantly sloped as indicated on the street elevation plans.

 

The proposal included an upgrade to a footpath running back to the village, to include lighting compatible within the AONB and there would be some resurfacing at beginning of the path where it met the development.

 

The site was allocated for housing and a doctor’s surgery within the NHP. In principle the proposed development was suitable as the site had been allocated for around 25 properties. The proposal was for 31, with 40% affordable housing. 

 

A breakdown of the affordable housing in terms of percentage of rented to purchased had been negotiated with the Housing Officer who was satisfied with the proportions proposed.

 

All of the previous Highway’s concerns had now been addressed. A Highways officer had assessed the proposal and accepted it, even with parking along East Street.

 

Members of the Public as detailed above then had the opportunity to speak on the application. Some of the main points included the historic flooding which had reportedly also affected paddocks and residents’ garages. Photos of the flood in October and March had been provided by a resident and presented at the end of the Officer presentation.

 

There were concerns that if the application was approved, there was no guarantee that the doctor’s surgery would be built. The main aim of the NHP including the site for development was to gain a new surgery, not specifically to achieve further housing. Concerns relating to a climate catastrophe were also raised.

 

Restrictions on development in an AONB were raised with an offer for further conditions to be added should the application be approved. When producing the NHP, the parish was advised that if housing was not allocated, then it would be imposed on them from outside.

 

A strong view among most of the speakers in objection was in relation to the request for a second exit from the development onto Chicklade Road. It was felt that as traffic would increase, a second exit was required to alleviate congestion on East Street and improve safety.

 

The Agent noted the NHP had been approved by a large majority and adopted in 2021 and as such the site was an allocated site for development and therefore overcame the AONB restriction.

 

A consultation drop-in event was held in September 2021 and Highways had been on site to make an assessment.

 

Houses would have air source heat pumps and the applicant had agree to buy additional land from WC to improve access into the site if there were requirements for an optimised entrance.

 

All technical issues had been addressed in the final plans and the flooding issue was noted as an existing problem, which may be improved by the development. 

 

A S106 agreed for affordable housing was agreed at 60/40 split shared ownership/affordable rent and there was CIL revenue from the scheme.

 

The current senior partner at Hindon surgery noted that support the development was paramount for the future provision of a new surgery in Hindon.  If denied the only chance of trying to build a new surgery would be lost. The current surgery building was stated as not fit for purpose.

 

The Hindon Parish Council representative noted the issues as access by vehicles, drainage, and noncompliance with the NHP.  It was stated that the parish urgently needed a new surgery, which was why they were willing to accept limited development. It was felt critical that should the development be approved, then it should at the very least include an inlet and outlet so people could go in one and out the other, to alleviate serious accident issues. In creating the second exit on Chicklade Road, it was felt that that the removal of hedgerows to accommodate a second exit would not impact negatively on bats.

 

The Divisional Member, Cllr Bridget Wayman then spoke on the application, noting Hindon was designated as large village in NHP. The creation of Hindon’s NHP had embarked in 2015, to meet needs for future residents and relocate the doctor’s surgery.

 

The Chicklade Road site selected for future development was originally larger. The current surgery had parking spaces for 2/3 so parking on the high street was often congested.

 

The NHP was not indicative and did show the surgery positioned along the B3089. The parish was not supportive of the surgery being moved further into the site with houses now placed along the B3089 frontage.

 

Now that more accurate information was available, the parish had concerns about the increased traffic flow and would like to see an egress on to Chicklade Road to reduce increased traffic flow on East Street. To achieve that, the 30mph limit would need to be moved further up the road.

 

The hedge line along Chicklade Road was already broken up and non-existent so bats would naturally go further up where it was denser.

 

There was real concern about the impact of drainage on the site, with suggestions that the Environment Agency felt that flood events were increasing in frequency.

 

Cllr Wayman then moved the motion of Refusal, against Officer recommendation, for the reasons mentioned above and summarised as:

 

·       Poor access/egress – additional exit on Chicklade Road

·       Insufficient parking for surgery

·       Flooding / Drainage

·       Location of surgery – to move to frontage of site as per the NHP

 

This was seconded by Cllr Hocking.

 

The Planning Team Leader noted that it would be difficult to refuse the application on matters such as flooding or an additional exit as neither of the statutory consultees had objected on those grounds and had considered the scheme to be acceptable.

 

The Committee discussed the application, the main points included a feeling from the Committee that the parish council and the developer should have been able to come to a compromise between them. The suggestion for a deferral to allow time for the parties to meet and come to a compromise was discussed.

 

The proposal was for a total of 31 dwellings which was noted as 6 over what had been suggested in the NHP.

 

As with other previous application involving the development of a doctors surgery, there was no guarantee that it would come to fruition once planning was granted, however it was noted that if the application was not granted, the opportunity to have a surgery as part of the development may be lost completely and as stated by the public speakers, Hindon was very much in need of a new surgery as the existing one was no longer fit for purpose.

 

The length of time the development had been at the planning stage was noted, as was the high quality of the materials proposed and the 40% affordable housing which would be available to local residents.

 

The Committee discussed the recommendation and the conditions as set out in the report.

 

At the conclusion of debate, the Committee voted on the recommendation of Refusal, for the reasons as stated above.

 

The motion failed.

 

Cllr Nabil Najjarr moved motion for deferral, to allow more time for discussion and compromise to be reached between the developer and the parish, on matters relating to the request for an additional entrance/egress and drainage mitigation.

 

This was seconded by Cllr Trevor Carbin.

 

The Committee discussed the motion of deferral, the main points were in relation to the second access/exit point on Chicklade Road and that Highways had not objected to the current proposal which included only one entrance/exit route. It was also noted that the non-determination date may have passed, which would allow the applicant to go to appeal.

 

The Committee voted on the motion of deferral for the reasons as stated above.

 

The motion failed.

 

Cllr Brian Dalton then moved the motion of approval, in line with Officer recommendation with additional conditions as set out in the late correspondence and further conditions as summarised below:

 

·       The requirement for the amenity land/open space to be offered to the parish should they want it before going to a management company.

 

·       The removal of Permitted Development (PD) rights in relation to rooflights on dwellings in the future in view of the dark skies’ status of the AONB.

 

·       To make the land available for the doctor’s surgery up front and at the start of the development and for that land to remain clear of builder’s debris etc during the course of the development.

 

A query relating to a condition to prevent the use of the properties as Holiday homes or Air B&Bs was put to the Planning and Legal Officer’s. It was confirmed that they were not aware of any previous instances where a condition specifically preventing the use of properties as Air B&B’s had been applied. It was suggested that at this time, such a condition may not be lawful.

 

In response to a question on street lighting the Officer advised that plans were available and that he would feed back a request to the relevant officer to inspect the lighting to check that there would be no glare caused for people coming from the B3089.

 

The Committee then voted on the motion of approval in line with Officer recommendation, with added conditions as set out in the late correspondence and further conditions by the Committee, summarised above.
