INTRODUCTION

1.1

This application is referred to planning committee at the request of Councillor Andy Cooke due to concerns regarding drainage and sewerage issues in the area.

 

1.2

The application site is a former paddock at the rear of 10 Halls Close in Drayton (figure 1 below). Outline planning permission (ref P15/V2077/O) was granted on appeal in November 2016 for up to 28 dwellings, and a reserved matters application (P17/V1225/RM) was approved in April 2018 for 22 dwellings.

1.3

Figure 1: Location Plan

1.4

The approved development originally consisted of 11 age restricted units, 3 market units and 8 affordable units. All pre-commencement conditions were discharged prior to the commencement of development on site on 8 October 2018.

 

1.5

An application to vary condition 2 (approved plans) of planning permission P17/V1225/RM and remove condition 14 (age restricted units) of the outline consent (ref P15/V2077/O) was approved under application P22/V2546/S73 in March 2023. This application made minor changes to the layout as well as some elevation changes to plots 1 and 2. The application also amended the age restricted units to open market units, resulting in a total of 14 market units and 8 affordable units.

 

1.6

A further application for the variation of Condition 1 (Approved plans) was approved under application P23/V1805/S73 on 13 March 2023 to change the layout and house types proposed and the latest approved layout is shown below at figure 2.

PROPOSAL

2.1

The current application seeks to vary condition 8 (Drainage Details- Foul water) on the latest application (P23/V1805/S73) which currently reads:

 

Prior to the use or occupation of any new building, the scheme for the foul water drainage shall be fully implemented in accordance with the details approved under application P18/V2086/DIS. No discharge of foul water from the site shall be made into the public system until the drainage works referred to in the strategy have been completed.

Reason: To ensure the effective drainage of the site in the interest of public health (Policy CP42 of the adopted Local Plan 2031 Part 1 and Policy DP23 of the adopted Local Plan 2031 Part 2).

 

2.2

Condition 8 requires that the approved foul water drainage system shall be wholly installed prior to first occupation of any dwelling. However, the developer wishes to progress the development with a phased handover of the scheme with five units (1, 2, 20, 21, & 22) being handed over to new owners before completion of the development. To allow for this to happen, these units have been moved onto a gravity fed foul drainage system which runs into the north most manhole, whilst the remainder of the scheme is via a pumped system. These two systems work separately and only interact at the very last manhole before connecting into the existing sewer. The wording as it stands would prevent the developer from selling the first five units whilst the remainder are being built.

 

2.3

It is therefore proposed that the condition be varied to read:

 

Prior to the use or occupation of each new building, all foul water drainage elements required to serve that building shall be fully implemented in accordance with the scheme for the foul water drainage as modified under application P23/V2847/S73.

 

Reason: To ensure the effective drainage of the site in the interest of public health (Policy CP42 of the adopted Local Plan 2031 Part 1 and Policy DP23 of the adopted Local Plan 2031 Part 2).

Other Relevant Legislation

Due regard has been had to the following legislation;

              Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act) 1990

              Community & Infrastructure Levy Legislation

              Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998

              Obligations under Section 149 of the Equalities Act 2010

              Provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998

              Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006

              Localism Act (including New Homes Bonus)

              Section 85 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000

 

7.0

PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

7.1

The relevant planning considerations are the following:

 

·         Principle of development

·         Principle of varying conditions

·         Drainage

 

7.2

Principle of development

 

Outline planning permission (ref P15/V2077/O) was granted on appeal in November 2016 for up to 28 dwellings, and a reserved matters application (P17/V1225/RM) was approved in April 2018 for 22 dwellings. The approved development has been lawfully commenced. The principle of development is therefore established and is not for reconsideration as part of this application.

 

7.3

Principle of varying conditions

 

When planning permission is granted, development must take place in accordance with the permission and conditions attached to it, and with any associated legal agreements. New issues may arise after planning permission has been granted, which require modification of the approved proposals, and under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 an application can be made to vary or remove conditions associated with a planning permission. One of the uses of a section 73 application is to seek a material amendment, where there is a relevant condition that can be varied. Under section 73a of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 an application can be made for development without complying with a condition subject to which planning permission was granted.

 

7.4

The relevant planning considerations for this application are only the matters for which the modification is sought. All the other matters were dealt with as part of the approved application and are not for re-consideration here.

 

7.5

Drainage

 

Core Policy 42 of LPP1 requires developments to provide a drainage strategy and DP23 requires development proposals to demonstrate that they will not result in significant adverse impacts on the amenity of neighbouring uses.  

 

7.6

Whilst concern has been expressed locally that this application is seeking to approve drainage issues retrospectively, flood risk and drainage were previously assessed in detail on the outline application and were considered acceptable. Since then, a detailed foul water drainage strategy was submitted and approved under P18/V2086/DIS on 26 October 2018 as required under the original outline consent (P15/V2077/O).

 

7.7

The Councils Drainage Officer does not raise any objections to the revisions to the drainage arrangements proposed and no concerns are expressed that this would put a greater strain on the existing foul water drainage system serving adjacent properties. Implementing a gravity fed foul drainage system (independent of the pumped drainage) to units 1, 2, 20, 21, & 22 would allow these dwellings to be occupied ahead of completion of the remaining development which would use a pumped system. These two systems work separately and only interact at the very last manhole before connecting into the existing sewer.

 

7.8

Thames Water have confirmed that they do not wish to make any comments on the application.

 

7.9

Therefore, given the lack of any concern or objection from technical drainage consultees, there is no reason in your officers’ opinion to withhold planning permission on drainage grounds.

 

7.10

Community Infrastructure Levy.

 

Since the approval of the outline consent, the Council has adopted a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging schedule. However, no increases in floor space are proposed as part of this application.

 

7.11

S106 Developer Contributions and Affordable Housing.

 

This site is already subject to a signed Unilateral Undertaking at outline stage which allows for S73 applications, therefore no new agreement is required.

 

7.12

Concerns have been expressed that new developments should invest in drainage and roads etc. The signed unilateral undertaking secured the provision of affordable housing and financial contributions towards a range of matters including education, outdoor recreational facilities, street naming, improvements to the village hall and traffic calming.

 

7.13

With regard to the affordable housing clause, of the twenty-two units granted permission under P17/V1225/RM, eight of these have been secured as affordable with the remainder being market dwellings. Plots 1,2, 20, 21 and 22  affected by the alternative drainage arrangements are all market units.

 

7.14

The Unilateral Undertaking secured at outline stage requires no occupation of the open market dwellings until a contract has been entered into with a Registered Provider.  Secondly, no more than 70% of the open market dwellings should be occupied until 100% of the affordable dwellings have been completed and transferred or leased pursuant to the Contract with the Registered Provider. The completion of the market units listed would result in 5 units being handed over first (36%) therefore there is no conflict with the extant legal agreement.

 

7.15

Pre-commencement conditions

 

In accordance with Section 100ZA (6) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) the pre-commencement conditions have been agreed with the agent.

 

7.16

All pre-commencement planning conditions on the outline consent and reserved matters consent have been discharged and will therefore be reworded to reflect this. Conditions that remain relevant will be transferred over to any new permission granted under this S73 application.

 

 

8.0

Other Relevant Legislation

8.1

Human Rights Act 1998

The provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 have been taken into account in the processing of the application and the preparation of this report.

 

8.2

Equality Act 2010

In determining this planning application, the Council has regard to its equalities obligations including its obligations under Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010.

 

8.3

Crime and Disorder Act 1998

In considering this application, due regard has been given to the likely effect of the proposal on the need to reduce crime and disorder in accordance with Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. In reaching a recommendation, officers consider that the proposal will/will not undermine crime prevention or the promotion of community safety.

 

9.0

PLANNING BALANCE AND CONCLUSION

9.1

This application has been determined against the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In considering the application, due regard has been given to the representations received from statutory and other consultees. These have been taken into account in assessing the overall scheme.

 

9.2

The principle of developing the site for residential development was approved under P15/V2077/O in November 2016 and construction is underway. The proposed changes to the drainage arrangements to the properties listed are acceptable from a technical perspective providing satisfactory drainage arrangements for the development complying with the relevant development plan policies and the provisions of the NPPF.
