Planning Application for 160 dwellings on Clappers Lane, Earnley (14/00457/OUT) – Briefing Note

 This application has gone to appeal, which will consist of a formal Inquiry held by a Planning Inspector, due to commence on Wednesday 29th October 2014 and to last for 3 days.

Chichester District Council is prepared to contest the appeal by Wates the developer on three substantive grounds: dwelling density, traffic congestion and general sustainability.  The first objection was raised by planning officers, the second by the Local Highways Authority (LHA) & the Highways Agency (HA) and the third by the elected councillors of the Planning Committee. The issue of dwelling density, although valid and welcome, will not overturn the proposal to build on this site; at best it will reduce the numbers to around the 100 to 110 mark.

On the issue of traffic congestion and sustainability, the Council are constrained by the acceptance by the LHA & HA of the developer’s Transport Assessment report, which both agree is “robust”.

The LHA & HA accept the developer’s conclusion that the proposed development will result in just over 30 vehicles per hour approaching the A286 roundabout with the B2201 and the Stockbridge Road roundabout during the peak morning and evening hour.  They differ as to what this means: the developer claims the residual effect of this extra traffic will be minimal, the LHA & HA believe it will be “severe”.  If the Inspector finds that the impact of the extra traffic is not “severe” (per National Planning Policy Framework para 32), then the developer could well win the appeal.

We however believe there is a stronger case to be made, which involves claiming that the developer’s Transport Assessment (TA) is not “robust”.  There are two major objections that can be made:

1. The traffic distribution assumptions in the TA are flawed, in particular the claim that over 40% of residents on the proposed development will get jobs on the Manhood (some 80 jobs), with over 50 jobs in the village of East Wittering alone, marginally more than Chichester.  The developer also claims that 71% of all non-commuting journeys – shopping, leisure, schools – will be within the Manhood.  The results is that only a third of all journeys will involve approaching the critical A286/A27 roundabouts referred to above.

2. The developer believes that little or no traffic from the proposed site will use the country lanes to the east: through Earnley Conservation Area and either up Bookers Lane or through Almodington and Sidlesham and then joining the B2145.  Our local knowledge shows that residents will use these routes to go to the eastern side of Chichester, to Bognor, Littlehampton and beyond and also to Selsey.  Many residents prefer these quieter routes, with many more using them during the busy summer tourist months when the main roads are often blocked.  All the developer’s traffic counts were taken in the period from November to April.

By presenting this case to the Inspector, we could show that the impact on the A286 roundabouts will be significantly greater than just over 30 vehicles per peak hour.  We could also demonstrate damage to the quiet rural environment to the east of the site and the safety implications of increased traffic for walkers, cyclist and horse riders.  We are not at all convinced that the developer’s proposal for a “No Right Turn” (out) and “No Left Turn” (in) arrangement on Clappers Lane will be effective.

We are awaiting a report from an independent Transport Consultant.  If that reports concludes we have a case, then the proposal is that a consortium of parish councils on the Manhood is formed to apply for Rule 6 Third Party status at the Inquiry.  This means that we have equal status with the appellant (Wates) and the Council and can, therefore, present evidence, call witnesses (such as the Transport Consultant) and cross examine.  We would also seek legal advice.  To fund this work we look to raise money from residents, a campaign which has already successfully commenced.  It would not be our intention to get into debt; expenditure will only be committed if the funds are in place.

It is clear that these 160 new dwellings could just be the beginning, as the same developer has lodged a formal objection to the District Council’s Local Plan, proposing that 500 new dwellings should be allocated to the ward of East Wittering alone, as against the Local Plan figure of 100.

If we lose this case it could be a green light for further development in the whole area.

 27-14 Correspondence – Not previously circulated:

i)              The Clerk reported that he had received a letter from 4Sight requesting a grant. As the organization helped at least six people within the Parish of Birdham it was deemed appropriate to award a grant of £100.00.

It was resolved to grant £100.00 under s137 to 4Sight for the work they do in Birdham.

ii)             A further grant application for grant aid had been received from the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance. It was considered that further information should be requested and the item was deferred.

iii)            A letter had been received from the CPRE with an invitation to attend their AGM. The Parish Council is a member.  There was no one available to attend.

28-14 Reports:

i)      Play Area and Playing Field. – There was nothing to report.

ii)     Village Green and Pond – The Clerk was asked if he received any information from Mr Tony Burnard relating to the Village Pond. The Clerk said that he had received the information together with a rather ambitious plan which appeared rather excessive. A second draft plan had now been received which he felt the Council could, in principle support and given the authority of the Council he would write to the owners of the field in question with, effectively, a positioning statement.

It was resolved to authorise the Clerk to write the suggested letter to the field owners.

iii)    Condition of Village Ditch/Drain Network. – Various quotes had been requested but none yet received. Westlands Lane gulleys have been overflowing which is believed to be caused by the owners of the pond in that area. Problems were still being experienced in dealing Hyde Martlet over the ownership of the ditch which runs along the main road.

There was also some doubt as to what was actually said by the team from WSCC concerning the culvert under dwellings in Walwyn Close which need to be resolved. To that end there would be a meeting on the 24th June to discuss the way forward for an Op Watershed application.

iv)   Police and Neighbourhood Watch – There was nothing to report.

v)    Communication Working Groups – The next issue of the Newsletter would be out by the end of June or the beginning of July.

vi)   Other -

29-14 Reports of meetings attended by Councillors;

 Members had attended a meeting of the Peninsula Forum at which there was a presentation by the West Sussex Growers Association. The second half of the meeting was allocated to Southern Water who attended from their Head Office. Their representative spoke about the various levels and the strategic situation but it became very clear that he had not been properly briefed on the capacities and effects of the vast numbers of holiday makers who visited the area.

It would appear that the Clappers Lane development by Wates is to go straight to an appeal.

30-14 Items for inclusion on the next agenda:

          New Homes Bonus

Facilities Audit

Sports Equipment

31-14 Date of Next Meeting:

             

21st July 2014 at 7pm in Birdham Village Hall

 

There being no further business to discuss the meeting was declared closed at 8.40pm
