Principal Issues: 9.1.1 Whether brownfield land elsewhere in the District should be developed in

preference to this greenfield site.

9.1.2 Whether Haddenham is a sustainable location for new development.

9.1.3 Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the setting, character or appearance of the Haddenham Conservation Area, and/or the surrounding countryside.

9.1.4 Whether the site is in a sustainable location, having regard to accessibility by public transport, and the distance between the site and village centre shops and facilities, the railway station, and employment areas.

9.1.5 Whether the increase in traffic generated by the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the village by reason of noise, disturbance and road safety.

51


9.1.6 Whether the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of high quality agricultural land.

9.1.7 Whether the proposed development will result in an increase in the potential risk of flooding.

9.1.8 Whether existing community facilities and services are adequate to cope with the amount of development proposed. Or alternatively whether adequate provision can be made for these facilities.

9.1.9 Whether the proposed development will have an adverse effect on local wildlife and/or the functioning of St Tiggywinkle's Animal Hospital.

9.1.10 Whether an archaeological survey is required.

9.1.11 Whether the number of dwellings proposed should be increased in order to enhance the scheme’s economic viability. Or alternatively, whether the number of dwellings should be reduced in order to allow the introduction of a ‘third-tier’ of village sites.

9.1.12 Whether the policy should be less specific with regards to the number of dwellings proposed.

9.1.13 Whether criterion c) requiring a contribution to bus service improvements, and f) requiring the provision of affordable housing, are excessive.

9.1.14 Whether criterion d) should require separate cycle and footpath links. And whether criterion e) is technically feasible.

9.1.15 Whether criterion g) is sufficiently clear to be capable of implementation, and whether the second part of criterion j) would prejudge negotiations with the EA.

9.1.16 Whether the proposed development would establish a precedent for further development on Aston Road.

Inspector’s Considerations and Conclusions: 9.1.17 Policy HA.1, together with paras. 8.3 - 8.6, seek to establish the principle for

development on a 4.8ha (or thereabouts) site at Aston Road, Haddenham for some 100 dwellings. The Council proposes PC 8.01 (to para. 8.4), PC 8.02 superseded by FPC 157.01, FPC 157.02, FPC 158.01, and ORC 157.03. I comment on these, where relevant, below.

Development of Brownfield Land Elsewhere as an Alternative

9.1.18 Several objectors have suggested that the allocation of the Aston Road site is unnecessary, and that new development should be directed to brownfield sites elsewhere.

9.1.19 I have in Part 1 of my report assessed the strategic objectives of the development strategy for the Rural Areas in the context of PPG and RPG advice. There is no reason for me to reiterate my detailed considerations and conclusions. Suffice to say that PPG3 advice concerning the development of brownfield sites is clear. The presumption throughout is that when allocating land for development, brownfield sites should take priority over greenfield land. The exception to this principle is where previously developed land performs so badly in relation to the selection criteria in para. 31 of the PPG so as to preclude its use for housing. These criteria include location and accessibility, infrastructure, and the ability to build communities. The Plan identifies two brownfield sites in the Rural Areas that

52


satisfy the selection criteria, and I have elsewhere expressed my support for their redevelopment. However, these criteria effectively preclude the allocation of remote rural brownfield sites on grounds of their relative isolation and absence of easy access to jobs and services by means other than the private car; the inadequacy of public utilities and social infrastructure; and the difficulty of establishing a viable community sufficient to support new physical and social facilities. Furthermore, the level of investment required to resolve these shortcomings, including the provision of a level of pubic transport to achieve a significant modal shift away from the use of the private car or the provision of adequate services and facilities, would be excessive for the amount of development proposed.

9.1.20 It must be recognised that there is a shortage of brownfield land throughout the Rural Areas that meets the aforementioned strict (yet entirely reasonable) criteria. And that in the absence of sufficient brownfield land to accommodate the requisite level of development envisaged during the Plan period it is necessary for greenfield sites to be allocated.

Haddenham as a Sustainable Location

9.1.21 Objection to HA.1 has been raised on grounds that Haddenham is not a sustainable location for new development. I do not agree. I have earlier, in Part 1 of my report, considered objections to the Rural Areas Development Strategy; again there is no need for me to re-iterate my conclusions. Suffice to say that I maintain my support for the principle of sequential site selection whereby development is concentrated at those settlements that have the greatest range of employment and services and are best served by public transport. Specifically, as noted above, the priority given to the development of brownfield sites (category 1 in the Council’s search sequence) other than where they perform so poorly in relation to PPG3 selection criteria as to preclude their development. And, in the absence of sufficient suitable brownfield sites to meet the identified housing need, the objective of locating new development in rural service centres (category 2 settlements in the Council’s search sequence), which act as focal points for housing, transport, and other services.

9.1.22 I recognise and agree that Buckingham, Haddenham, Wendover and Winslow have the greatest amount and range of employment and services in the Rural Areas, and that each is reasonably well served by public transport. As such they are the only settlements in the Rural Areas that meet the criteria in category 2. The identification of these settlements as potential locations for new development thus fully accords with advice in PPGs 3 and 13 and confirms their status as sustainable locations for new development. But, and it is a very big but, I have strong reservations about the appropriateness of directing a significant amount of new residential development to Haddenham, or otherwise affording it equal status in this respect with the other three category 2 settlements.

9.1.23 Buckingham is the second largest settlement in the District, having grown significantly in the past 20 years, with a strong employment base and a wide range of facilities serving the town and surrounding area. I am confident that it is capable of accommodating additional development. Wendover and Winslow are in my view alike, comprising small historic market towns with a wide range of shops, including a number of specialist shops serving a wider area, banks, building societies, estate agents, restaurants and other services, a range of social and some cultural facilities, a limited amount of employment, and, most noticeably, clearly

53


identifiable centres with a sense of purpose and place. I am likewise confident that both Wendover and Winslow are capable of absorbing additional development and that, while not without local problems and difficulties, such development would enhance both settlements and their centres.

9.1.24 This is not to say that Haddenham is without merit. It is clearly an attractive place to live. The Haddenham Aerodrome Industrial Estate (now identified as the Haddenham Business Park) provides a strong employment base. The village is reasonably well served by public transport, including regular bus services to Aylesbury and beyond, and a parkway station providing rail service links to London and Birmingham. It also contains some shops scattered throughout the settlement and some social facilities. But it lacks the central focus of the kind found at Buckingham, Wendover, and Winslow, and the wider range of facilities found in those settlements. Rather, Haddenham’s character reflects its origin as three ancient hamlets, Church End, Fort End and Towns End, situated alongside the stream that passes thorough the village. Land between these original settlements has been gradually infilled to create the historic linear core, now a designated Conservation Area. Extensive areas of more recent residential development east and west of the linear core create the sprawling settlement that is Haddenham today. I acknowledge that Haddenham, with a population of some 4800, is marginally larger than Winslow (pop. 4400). However, it seems to me that Haddenham retains the ambience of a dormitory village, whereas Wendover and Winslow do not. Thus, while fully recognising Haddenham’s sustainability credentials and category 2 status, I am strongly of the view that as a matter of principle sites suitable for residential development in Buckingham, Wendover or Winslow should be afforded priority over comparable or otherwise suitable sites in Haddenham.

Effect on the Haddenham Conservation Area and Surrounding Countryside

9.1.25 The most vociferous opposition to development on the Aston Road site is that directed towards its effect on the setting, character and appearance of the Haddenham Conservation Area, and its impact on the surrounding countryside. The CA extends from Church End in the south to Towns End and beyond in the north, and embraces the whole of the linear historic core of the village, including most (and possibly all) of the listed buildings in Haddenham. In connection with these objections it should be noted that para. 4.14 of PPG15 affirms that section 72 of the Act requires that special attention shall be paid in the exercise of planning functions to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a conservation area and that the desirability of preserving or enhancing the area should also … be a material consideration in the … handling of development proposals which are outside the conservation areas but would affect its setting or views into or out of the area.

9.1.26 The Aston Road site lies to the east of Church End, with an 80m frontage to Aston Road that is distanced from the CA boundary by a 140m ribbon of 7 detached properties. The western boundary of the site runs for some 150m along the rear boundaries of 4 large detached dwellings, including the Grade II listed nos. 20, 21 and 22 Church End. This boundary is common with that of the CA, and is defined by a length of wychert (or wichert) wall. This is a nationally uncommon form of walling, formed by a hardened mix of mud, stone and straw on a stone base, that is found throughout the CA. The site boundary continues north-eastwards for 190m

54


along the rear boundaries of modern housing fronting The Gables, before turning south-eastwards alongside a public footpath and then southwards along a field boundary to Aston Road, excluding the farm buildings on the frontage. The public footpath alongside the north-eastern boundary continues outside of the site south-eastwards to Aston Road, north-eastwards along the rear boundaries of modern properties fronting Willis Road, and westwards to Churchway.

9.1.27 Church End is recognised as the most important element of the Haddenham CA, containing the greatest concentration of the village’s highest quality buildings. It is dominated by the Grade I listed St Mary’s Church and tower, contains a traditional village green and pond, and is surrounded by an irregular grouping of historic buildings, many of them listed. The buildings around the green close off views into the open countryside beyond, although the proposed development site can be glimpsed between nos. 20 and 22 from the small subsidiary green to the north-east of Church End. However, the influence of the CA extends beyond its boundaries into its overall setting. And in accordance with PPG advice, the approach to the CA and the perception of its relationship to open countryside are important factors to be considered.

9.1.28 The 140m ribbon of development along the northern side of Aston Road leads in to the CA. This frontage development conceals the Aston Road site from view from within the CA. However, approaching Church End on Aston Road the proposed development would make a significant impact along the frontage of the site such that it would suburbanise, and thereby totally change, the approach to Church End.

9.1.29 From further east along Aston Road and along Stanbridge Road, south of Willis Road, the open fields created, I understand, in 1834 pursuant to the Inclosure Award, provide an attractive setting to the village, both to the historic focal point of Church End and to the more distant modern development fronting The Gables and Willis Road. The existing line of development is precisely defined, and when viewed from Aston Road or Stanbridge Road there is a clear distinction between the modern pattern of small houses and gardens and the listed buildings in Church End, with their generous treed gardens and varied rooflines rising above the wychert wall, crowned by views of the tower of St Mary’s Church. Were the Aston Road site to be developed modern development would interpose itself between Church End and the open fields to the east. The perception of the historic core of the Conservation Area in its landscape setting would be concealed and the present views lost.

9.1.30 In addition, views from the footpath network in the vicinity of the site would be prejudiced. From the point at which the footpath from Churchway emerges into open land at the northern tip of the proposed site, and along its entire length as it continues south-eastwards to Aston Road, there are uninterrupted views south-westwards towards Church End. These views would suffer maximum visual impact from the development. The present open prospect would be replaced by rear property boundaries, together with views of any houses close by. The sense of Church End in its historic rural setting, clearly defined by the wychert wall, and the perception of the Church tower proclaiming the heart of this part of Haddenham, would be destroyed. Likewise, views south-westwards from the footpath that runs along the backs of the Wills Road properties towards Church End, with a glimpse of the tower of the Grade I listed church forming a focal point, would also be lost. Development on the Aston Road site would dominate the foreground and these

55


views, which presently provide an impressive contextual setting for the historic heart of the settlement, would be eliminated.

9.1.31 It has been suggested that the development could be laid out so as to retain the view of the Church tower through the site. However, the presentation of a single point view through modern development would be an wholly unacceptable substitute for the present open view of the traditional village grouping of Church End from the many points along both footpaths.

9.1.32 I am also concerned that the proposed development would be totally unrelated to the rest of the village, and as such would display all of the unfortunate characteristics of an estate of modern housing tacked - unthinkingly and unsympathetically – onto the edge of an otherwise integrated settlement. Vehicular access would, of necessity, have to be taken off Aston Road, and the site laid out in the form of a series of linked culs-de-sac. No opportunity exists to create a suitable vehicular access into the site from the north or west. The narrow unmade and unlit footpath to Churchway provides the only link through to the established part of the village. For the most part this footpath runs between the rear/flank garden boundaries of dwellings, and despite possible improvements would still be a singularly unattractive route for most people walking alone or after dark. In my view it would be unrealistic to expect this footpath to provide anything other than a secondary (if that) means of access to the site, with the possibility that its infrequent use would exacerbate its inherent dangers. The inadequacy of pedestrian access to the site is likewise exacerbated by the absence of a footpath along either side of Aston Road, between the site and Church End. Persons walking to the shops or bus stop at Church End would thus be at risk from passing vehicles. Furthermore, it seems to me that at the point where it enters Church End, Aston Road is of insufficient width to enable a footpath to be provided without compromising other aspects of highway safety.

9.1.33 It is inevitable that development of a greenfield site on the edge of a settlement will result in some encroachment into and loss of open countryside, and will in all probability have an impact on local and distant views. However, in my opinion the visual impact in this location would be excessive, resulting in the destruction of some of the most characterful views of the most important part of the Haddenham CA. For these reasons alone development on the Aston Road site should be resisted. The fact that it would be impossible to integrate the proposed development with the rest of the village, creating a text-book example of the worst kind of village expansion, strengthens my resolve to resist development on this site.

Site Sustainability

9.1.34 Concern has been expressed that the Aston Road site is in an unsustainable location relative to services and facilities throughout the village. To some extent I recognise the validity of that concern.

9.1.35 Haddenham is served by several bus routes providing regular services to Aylesbury, Thame, Oxford and elsewhere. Two of these services pass through Church End; one providing a half-hourly service Monday – Sunday, the other providing 4-8 journeys per day Monday – Saturday; both operate between Aylesbury and Oxford. A third peak hour service links the northern part of the village with Aylesbury, Brill and Long Crendon Monday – Friday, and a peak-hour schools service passes the site on Aston Road. The proposed site is thus better

56


served than many in this respect although, as noted above, pedestrian access to the nearest bus stops is hindered by the absence of a footway alongside Aston Road and the constricted nature of the footpath link between the site and Churchway.

9.1.36 Haddenham is also served by a parkway railway station, providing regular rail services to London and Birmingham. However, the site is some 1.8km from the station, and would thus be beyond reasonable walking distance for most residents intending to travel. Likewise Haddenham Business Park, the main employment destination in the village, is some 1.5km from the site, and thus at the limit of distance most people would be prepared to walk to work. Both destinations, in common with others throughout the village, are within easy cycling distance.

9.1.37 The few central shops on Banks Road, together with the village hall, library, health centre, primary and middle schools are some 900m - 1.1km from the proposed site, and thus within reasonable walking distance for most people. However, I suspect that the poor pedestrian linkages between the site, Church End and Churchway may dissuade many, especially the elderly and those with children, from making the journey on foot.

9.1.38 Haddenham is not a large settlement, and thus it is unsurprising that the majority of facilities are within reasonable walking distance of the site, and all are within easy cycling distance. However, two of the primary destinations in the village, the railway station and business park, are beyond the walking distance threshold for most people. And while the central shops and facilities are within walking distance, they do not provide the range available - and for the most part equally accessible - in other category 2 settlements.

Traffic Impact

9.1.39 Concern has been expressed that development on the Aston Road site would result in a significant increase in vehicular traffic, and that this would have an unacceptable adverse effect on the village by reason of noise, disturbance and road safety.

9.1.40 It is inevitable that the erection of some 100 houses would result in an increase in traffic on nearby roads and throughout the village. However, while it may be argued that any increase in traffic on rural roads is undesirable, I am not persuaded that the level of increase would be excessive or otherwise unduly detrimental to local amenities or road safety. Neither, I note, have BCC as HA objected to the proposed development.

9.1.41 Vehicles leaving the site and travelling towards Aylesbury, the parkway railway station or Thame would be unlikely to pass through the built-up heart of the village, choosing instead to travel via Aston Road and Stanbridge Road to Aylesbury, or Station Road to the station or Thame. Only those vehicles travelling to the Business Park or to the shops and facilities in the Banks Road area would need, or be likely, to use the more restricted roads in the central parts of the village. And though while not insignificant, the number of vehicles involved and their distribution throughout the day would, in my view, be unlikely to cause an unacceptable increase in disturbance or congestion, or be so detrimental to road safety as to justify resisting development of the scale or in the location proposed.

Agricultural Land

57


9.1.42 I have elsewhere in my report relied upon MAFF ALC surveys (where available) in order to maintain a commonality of approach to the issue of agricultural land quality, and to enable me to make comparisons (if necessary) between competing sites. I have thus had particular regard to the MAFF survey of 22ha of land on the south-eastern side of Haddenham, including the Aston Road site, carried out in February 1996.

9.1.43 This survey revealed that the Aston Road site comprises Grade 3b agricultural land. As such it does not constitute b&mv agricultural land. And is thus not accorded the protection given in principle by PPG7 to Grades 3a and above; rather it is recognised as land to be preferred for development in advance of better quality land.

9.1.44 I appreciate that, as a result of good husbandry, the site forms part of a productive farm unit. Nonetheless I cannot, in light of PPG advice, raise objection to the development of the site on grounds of its quality as agricultural land.

Potential Flood Risk

9.1.45 Neither the Environment Agency nor Thames Water, those agencies responsible for ensuring that proposed development neither exacerbates the risk of flooding nor is itself liable to flood, have objected to the proposed development of the Aston Road site. And neither, despite local expressions of concern, is there any definitive evidence before me that the increased rate of run-off precipitated by the proposed development or site drainage would in any way result in an unacceptable increase in the risk of flooding, either on the site or elsewhere.

9.1.46 I can thus find no reason to give any credence to objections concerning this issue.

Social and Community Facilities 9.1.47 A number of objectors have expressed concern that overloaded social and

community facilities would be unable to cope with the additional demand arising from the scale of development proposed. However, no service provider has objected to the proposed development, and I must therefore conclude that either existing facilities would be able to cope with the projected increase in demand, or that facilities could be increased or improved as necessary.

Potential Impact on Local Wildlife and St Tiggywinkles Animal Hospital

9.1.48 The proposed development site is in predominantly arable use, and as such is recognised as being of low ecological and wildlife value. There is no evidence before me to suggest otherwise. Neither is their any evidence to suggest that the occupation of some 100 dwellings would cause an unacceptable increase in disturbance to, or otherwise affect the operation of, the St Tiggywinkles Animal Hospital.

Archaeology

9.1.49 The Council suggests that an additional criterion be introduced requiring an archaeological evaluation of the site to be undertaken as part of the preparation of the planning brief, FPC 157.02.

9.1.50 I am satisfied that this FPC resolves objections concerning this issue.

Number of Dwellings Proposed (Part 1)

58


9.1.51 Potential developers have suggested that the number of dwellings proposed within the site should be increased in order to enhance the economic viability of the scheme. It is self evident that any increase would enhance viability. However, I have earlier concluded that the development of the site for some 100 dwellings would have a seriously detrimental effect upon the character and setting of the Church End part of the Haddenham CA, - sufficient to cause me to recommend that the site be deleted. It thus follows that I cannot support any suggested increase in the number of dwellings proposed.

9.1.52 In contrast, other objectors suggest that the number of dwellings should be reduced in order to allow for an increase in development in category 3 settlements. However, neither can I agree that approach.

9.1.53 I have earlier (and consistently) expressed my support for the Rural Areas Strategy whereby new development is directed, in principle, to the four category 2 settlements, Buckingham, Haddenham, Wendover and Winslow, given that they are capable of providing the widest range of services and facilities. I am entirely satisfied that this approach accords with PPG advice. Thus, notwithstanding my recommendation below that policy HA.1 be deleted, there can be no justification for suggesting that the number of dwellings on the Aston Road site be reduced in order to facilitate allocations in category 3 settlements. Finally, objectors should not lose sight of the fact that policies RA.18 and RA.20 provide for limited development in category 3 settlements, and it is anticipated that these will make a significant contribution to rural housing provision.

Number of Dwellings Proposed (Part 2)

9.1.54 It has been suggested that the policy should be less specific with regards to the number of dwellings proposed.

9.1.55 Para. 8.4 of the Plan states that a site for approximately100 dwellings off Aston Road is proposed, whereas policy HA.1 specifically states that the site shall be developed for 100 dwellings. Policies elsewhere throughout the Plan are less specific with regards to housing numbers, eg BU.1 and WE1, or omit reference altogether, eg AY.15 – AY.17, relying on supporting text to indicate the number of dwellings proposed.

9.1.56 It is generally recognised that the number of dwellings specified in development plan policies is not intended (unless stated otherwise) to be a definitive statement of the number of dwellings that will be permitted on that site. The final number being determined by a range of cogent issues that cannot possibly be dealt with at the local plan stage. I am thus surprised to note that the Council suggest that para. 8.4 should be altered by the deletion of approximately, PC 8.01, thereby requiring in both policy and text that the site be developed for 100 dwellings, no more or no less.

9.1.57 Given that I recommend below that policy HA.1 be deleted, this issue is purely academic. However, it highlights the need for consistency throughout the Plan and, where necessary, a more flexible – and realistic – approach to policy formulation.

Criteria Issues

9.1.58 Again, in light of my recommendation that policy HA.1 be deleted, my observations concerning the wording of suggested criteria are academic. However,

59


for completeness I comment briefly on objections concerning various criteria as follows.

9.1.59 I do not regard criterion c) as excessive, and am satisfied that it accords in principle with the requirements of C.1/97 and is consistent with similar criteria elsewhere throughout the Plan.

9.1.60 The Council suggests ORC 157.03 to criterion d), requiring the provision where possible of segregated cycle and footpath links. I am satisfied that this resolves objections concerning this issue. However, I share objectors’ concerns that criterion e) is not technically feasible, given the constricted nature of existing footpath links and the absence of sufficient space alongside for meaningful improvements.

9.1.61 The Council suggest amendments to criterion f), FPC 158.01, requiring the provision of a mix of house types, comprising a minimum of 20% and up to 30% of proposed dwellings as affordable housing, and at least 10% as low cost market housing. This FPC accords with my recommended modifications concerning policy GP.2 and supporting text, contained in Part 1 of my report.

9.1.62 Notwithstanding my earlier conclusion regarding the unacceptable impact of proposed development on the Church End part of the Haddenham CA, I agree objectors’ view that the wording of criterion g) is insufficiently clear to be capable of implementation. Likewise, although not the subject of objection, criterion h) is bland, imprecise and serves no useful purpose.

9.1.63 Finally, I see no reason why criterion j) would prejudge or otherwise prejudice negotiations with the EA.

Precedent for Further Development 9.1.64 The Pre Deposit Issues Paper, published by the Council in June 1996, identified the

22ha of undeveloped area north of Aston Road and west of Stanbridge Road as a potential site for development. The Paper suggested that the total site could accommodate some 300-400 dwellings.

9.1.65 The DDLP does not envisage development beyond the approx. 4.8ha site presently proposed. However, it seems to me that if, contrary to my recommendation, the Aston Road site were to be developed, there would be a clear impression of encroachment beyond the established limit of the village into an area defined not by the field boundary along the eastern edge of the proposed site but by Aston Road and Stanbridge Road. And it seems to me that once made this breach would be difficult to hold, with the longer-term eventuality of development up to Aston Road and Stanbridge Road. This must be is a genuine cause for concern.

Conclusions

9.1.66 The expansion of any settlement in a manner that will come to be regarded as acceptable by future generations requires those of us involved today to maintain a fine balance between the ‘art’ and ‘science’ of good planning. The Council’s clinical assessment of local employment opportunities, public transport links and other sustainability criteria has demonstrated Haddenham’s potential as a sustainable settlement that is seemingly capable of accommodation additional development. But this scientific analysis alone is not sufficient to guarantee that such development will make a positive contribution to Haddenham as a settlement. Rather the art of good planning requires that Haddenham itself be socially,

60


physically and environmentally capable of receiving and assimilating new development; that any identified site be physically and environmentally suitable for development; and that the proposed development itself be capable of making a positive contribution to the character of the settlement as a whole; a neutral contribution is simply not good enough. In my view Haddenham presently lacks the focus and character of a settlement that is capable of absorbing a significant amount of new residential development, and certainly not on the site or in the ‘tacked-on’ manner proposed at Aston Road.

9.1.67 Thus, while recognising Haddenham’s category 2 credentials, and expressing my support for the allocation of additional employment land at the Hadenham Business Park (see policies HA2 and HA.3 and CP070 below), I am of the opinion that sites suitable for residential development in Buckingham, Wendover or Winslow should be afforded priority over comparable or otherwise suitable sites in Haddenham. I have elsewhere in this Part of my report identified sufficient suitable sites in other category 2 settlements to meet the Rural Areas housing requirement, thereby obviating the need to identify a site (or sites) in Haddenham. In site specific terms, the visual impact of proposed development on the Aston Road site would result in the destruction of some of the most characterful views of the most important part of the Haddenham CA. And finally, the fact that it would be difficult to integrate the proposed development with the rest of the village reinforces my opinion that development on this site should be resisted.

Recommendation: 9.1.68 I recommend that the Plan be modified by the deletion of policy HA.1, and the

deletion and modification where necessary of relevant supporting text.

9.2.4 Whether the proposed development would be visually intrusive in the local landscape, or otherwise effect the Haddenham CA.

9.2.5 Whether the proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of high quality agricultural land.

9.2.6 Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on local wildlife.

9.2.7 Whether the construction of the vehicular access required by criterion b) should be held in abeyance pending the prior development of some 3ha of the allocated site.

9.2.8 Whether the policy should include a criterion requiring a contribution towards bus services.

9.2.9 Whether criterion d) should require separate cycle and footpath links.

Inspector’s Considerations and Conclusions: 9.2.10 My conclusions concerning these policies should be read in conjunction with my

conclusions concerning counter proposal CP070.

9.2.11 The vast majority of objections to policies HA.2 and HA.3 were precipitated by a range of problems, particularly smell, emanating from the recently developed McCormick factory on the southern edge of the Haddenham Business Park. I fully appreciate the depth of these concerns, and understand that the Council is now working with McCormick’s in an endeavour to bring about a range of solutions. However, it is important for me to stress from the outset that these matters are outside of the provisions of the Local Plan, and thus not before me for comment or recommendation. Nonetheless it is equally important for the Council to be aware of the strength of feeling expressed by local residents (as I am sure they are), and for them to ensure – where appropriate by the use of their planning powers - that development on the existing or extended Business Park does not result in similar problems in the future.

Haddenham Business Park as a Sustainable Location

9.2.12 Several objectors have questioned whether the proposed allocation is in a sustainable location. It is self evident, of course, that the existing Business Park is an established vibrant enterprise that many argue should be extended irrespective of its sustainability credentials. Nonetheless, I am satisfied that the Park is in a wholly sustainable location.

9.2.13 Haddenham is one of only four settlements in the Rural Areas that meet the sustainability criteria in category 2 of the Council’s search sequence. These

70


settlements provide a range of employment and other facilities and, in comparison with other rural settlements, are best served by public transport. Furthermore, the Park itself is in a sustainable location relative to the rest of Haddenham, given that it is reasonably accessible on foot from most of the village and easily accessible by cycle. Three bus routes pass along Thame Road providing links with Aylesbury, Oxford, Thame and elsewhere, while the nearby Haddenham and Thame Parkway railway station provides rail links with London and Birmingham. The site also enjoys ready access to the M40, although it is recognised that heavy traffic, including HGVs, presently causes problems throughout the centre of Haddenham.

Need for the Scale of Development Proposed

9.2.14 Several studies carried out on behalf of the Council during the preparation of the DDLP confirmed the need for additional employment development at Haddenham in order to capitalise on and maintain the vibrancy of the estate, to help meet the District’s strategic employment needs, and to provide additional jobs in a key rural location and thereby help to reduce commuting to nearby towns. A study by Llewelyn-Davies (CD100) commissioned by AVDC to investigate phasing and funding issues in respect of various development options in the DDLP concluded that development of 5.5ha of employment land at Haddenham would remain viable after allowing for planning obligations.

9.2.15 I have no reason to question the validity of these study findings, and am thus satisfied that there is a proven need for an additional employment allocation at Haddenham, and that - although I have little information as to how the amount was calculated - an allocation of some 5.5ha would meet this requirement. Furthermore, I am satisfied that my recommendation that the Aston Road site be deleted, and decisions elsewhere not to recommend the allocation of alternative housing land in Haddenham, do not undermine the need for additional employment land at the Business Park. My conclusion in this respect is reinforced by the results of a survey of existing occupiers (excluding McCormick) on the Business Park carried out in September 2000. Sixteen tenant companies out of twenty-four responded; of these 50% expected their floorspace requirements to change within the (then) next 2 years, and the number of employees was expected to increase by 34% by mid-2001 and by 51% over the 10 years to 2010.

Environmental Impact

9.2.16 Many local residents have expressed the view that future development at the Park must not have an adverse environmental impact by reason of traffic, noise, smell, or other forms of disturbance.

9.2.17 Criterion a) in the DDLP requires the preparation of a planning brief, to be subject to public consultation and published in the form of SPG. PC 8.03 proposes the introduction of an additional phrase, requiring the planning brief to include details of the type and controls to be applied to any employment uses. I fully appreciate why the Council proposes this change. However, it seems to me to be unworkable, given that at the planning brief stage the Council and Park operators will have little, if any, idea as to what type of user will occupy premises in the immediate, let alone the long-term, future, or what, if any, controls need to be applied. Rather it rests with the Council, using their planning and environmental health controls as appropriate, to deal with proposals as they emerge in order and to ensure that they do not result in the kind of problems that have occurred in the past.

71


9.2.18 I deal with disturbance cause by traffic in response to objections concerning criterion b) below.

Visual Intrusion 9.2.19 It is self evident that, being part of a former airfield, the Haddenham Business Park

occupies a flat, exposed, area of land. As a result it is prominent in the local landscape, especially when viewed from the north. Perimeter landscaping is thus essential, and should be included as a specific requirement, with planting details, in the planning brief. A tree belt is proposed along the northern boundary of the Park, and the Park operator has suggested that this be on land immediately beyond the allocation. This is a matter for the brief to resolve. Although I would comment that neither the width of the tree belt nor the requisite 70m plot depth for development should be compromised.

9.2.20 Given the distance between, it is unlikely that those areas identified for development (including the Counter Proposal site) will have a visually adverse effect on the CA. Perimeter landscaping along the southern and eastern boundaries of the Counter Proposal site would resolve any potential difficulties.

Loss of Agricultural Land

9.2.21 An ALC survey of the former airfield, including the proposed allocated and Counter Proposal (CP070) sites, was carried out in 1997. This indicated that some 60% of the allocated 5.5ha site was Grade 3a or above, and that of the remaining, some 10% was Grade 3b and the remaining 30% in non-agricultural use. In contrast the Counter Proposal site comprise less than 20% Grade 3a and above, with some 16% Grade 3b, and over 64% in non-agricultural use. Thus, while there may have been a legitimate cause for concern regarding the loss of b&mv agricultural land occasioned by DDLP proposals, I am satisfied that the Counter Proposal - for which I express support in Chapter 12 - resolves this issue as far as practicable having regard to the strategic need for the allocation.

Impact of Wildlife

9.2.22 There is little or no evidence before me to suggest that either the proposed or Counter Proposal site are of any ecological value. While that part of the Counter Proposal site that has lain derelict for a number of years may be of some interest, there is nothing before me to suggest that this is of any significance. Those parts of both sites that are in arable use are, in common with similar arable areas, unlikely to be of any real interest. The degree of disturbance caused by the adjacent existing uses further detracts from any potential these sites may have as a habitat for wildlife.

9.2.23 In contrast, I understand that the former airfield itself is of more than local ornithological significance, providing over-wintering for several thousand golden plover. However, it seems to me that development in those areas identified for employment use would not impact upon the ornithological value of the wider airfield, and thus would not result in serious, if any, disturbance to the over-wintering bird population or other forms of wildlife. Indeed, given the somewhat sterile character of the area at present, it is probable that the proposed landscaping will, with maturity, significantly enhance the ecological value of the area.

New Access Requirement

72


9.2.24 Criterion b) requires the provision of a new access road northwards, direct to and including a junction with the A418. The purpose of this is to direct traffic, as far as practicable and especially HGVs, away from the village. ORC 159.03 requires this to be shown on the Proposals Map.

9.2.25 Objection has been made that implementation of criterion b) should be phased to follow the development of some 3ha of the allocated site, and thereby provide some financial support for its construction. I appreciate that construction of the length of access road proposed, together with a new junction, will involve considerable expenditure, and I do not regard it as unreasonable to permit part of the allocated site to be developed to provide immediate financial assistance. However, I regard 3ha - which is more than half of the allocation proposed - to be excessive. And suggest that 2ha would be a reasonable compromise. In addition to being a policy criterion, the requirement to construct must, of course, be a legally tied to future development, and should be included in the planning brief. For environmental reasons the existing access to Dollicot should be closed as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the new access.

Contribution towards Bus Services

9.2.26 PC 8.03 suggests the introduction of an additional criterion requiring an equitable contribution towards revenue costs during the first three years after the occupation of the first unit for public transport bus services, and thereby resolves these objections. I am satisfied that the criterion, which is similar to criterion attached to other policies throughout the Plan, accords with C.1/97, and that the determination of what is equitable can be resolved by negotiation.

Footpath and Cycleway Segregation

9.2.27 FPC 159.01 requires the insertion of segregated before cycle/footpath in criterion d) and thereby resolves this objection.

And Finally

9.2.28 And finally, I can see no reason why policies HA.2 and HA.3 should not be combined to form a single policy.

Recommendation: 9.2.29 I recommend that:

9.2.30 Policies HA.2 and HA.3 be combined to form a single policy.

9.2.31 The combined policy and Proposals Map be modified in accordance with my recommendations concerning Counter Proposal CP070.

9.2.32 The combined policy be modified in accordance with PC 8.03 subject to the omission of which shall include details of the type and controls to be applied to any employment uses and in criterion a), and FPC 159.01.

9.2.33 Criterion b) be modified in accordance with ORC 159.03, and by the addition of;

The vehicular access shall be constructed and made available for use prior to the occupation of no more than 2ha of the land hereby allocated for development. Within three months of the new access being brought into use, the existing access to Dollicott shall be permanently closed to all but emergency traffic.

73


9.2.34 The Proposals Map be modified to show the alignment of the proposed northern access road off the A418.

SHOPPING 9.3 Paragraph 8.13 and Policy HA.4

Inspector’s Note 9.3.1 A minor change was recommended to para. 8.13 to refer to the shopping centre as a

local centre. I have no comment.

9.3.2 As an aside, the difference between the Haddenham shopping policy and those for Buckingham and, in particular, Wendover and Winslow (as recommended to be modified) graphically illustrate the differences between Haddenham and the other category 2 settlements in terms of character and facilities. And in so doing reinforce my conclusion regarding the priority to be given to Wendover and Winslow, in preference to Haddenham, as locations for additional residential development.

Objectors: DD2933 Mrs S Blackhurst DD4247 Haddenham Protection Society DD7288 GOSE

Principal Issues: 9.4.1 Whether the traffic impact assessment in HA.5 should have preceded the local plan

process. And whether the employment site should be deselected in the event that traffic could not be accommodated in the village.

9.4.2 Whether HA.7 was a land use policy.

Inspector’s Considerations and Conclusions:

74


9.4.3 HA.5 is unclear about who would be responsible for the TIA. If it is intended to be the developer, the requirement ought to be part of the linked criteria to HA.2/HA.3. If the Council itself proposes to evaluate the traffic effects it does not need to be part of the Plan.

9.4.4 The weakness of HA.5 is that it does not explain what the Council proposes to do if the assessment demonstrates that the development would have undesirable effects on the village environs. It seems to me entirely inappropriate to reserve the Thame Road site for employment use and then to introduce a policy that could dash the scheme. If the Council is not presently convinced that the principle of the allocation is acceptable from a traffic point of view, the site would have been better excluded from the Plan and any application dealt with on its individual merits and against other relevant policies. I appreciate that the reasoned justification in paragraph 8.14 does not contemplate rejection of the Thame Road development but that is not what the policy says or might be said to mean. I must therefore assume that the Council is convinced that in terms of traffic impact the scheme will be acceptable, and can thus find no reason to retain HA.5. If, despite my reservations, the Council still feel the need for a TIA, my preference would be a direct reference in modified policy HA.2 / HA.3.

9.4.5 The objection to HA.6 was an unspecific point connected with opposition to the Thame Road allocation. It gives me the opportunity to say that this is not a land- use planning policy. It does not detail what measures are proposed or by whom. Its objectives would be met more satisfactorily by the policy recommended to replace GPs.32-34 and GP.36.

9.4.6 As to HA.7, I disagree with the Council’s view. Supporting a better rail service has no land-use application. The policy does not reflect the Council’s response that it will give favourable consideration to rail development, with the qualification that it must result in an improvement to services. What would be done with an application for development that harmed no planning interests but did not improve services? HA.7 represents a commendable corporate aim but it has no place in the Local Plan.

Recommendation: 9.4.7 I recommend the Plan be modified by the deletion of policies HA.5, HA.6 and

HA.7.

75


Principal Issues: 9.5.1 Whether HA.8 should include a requirement for public art.

9.5.2 Whether HA.9 should apply the protective criteria of PPG3 rather than a conservation area standard.

Inspector’s Considerations and Conclusions: 9.5.3 I agree with the Council that for reasons I have dealt with in Part 1 of my report it

would be inappropriate to include a requirement for public art in HA.8. That said, HA.8 has no land-use or other planning purpose.

9.5.4 In the light of my recommendation that HA.1 be deleted, I need say little about HA.9. But on a point of principle, it is undesirable to have a specific criterion for the development of a site detached from the parent policy.

Recommendation: 9.5.5 I recommend that the Plan be modified by the deletion of policies HA.8 and HA.9.

LEISURE & COMMUNITY FACILITIES 9.6 Policy HA.10

Objectors: DD0373 J & E Landon DD0528 Southern Arts DD1947 Taywood Homes DD6402 Molyneux Planning DD6941 Cala HomesLtd & Westbury Homes

Principal Issues: 9.6.1 Whether the developer of the Aston Road site should make a financial contribution

towards the improvement of sports facilities in the village in line with GP.123.

9.6.2 Whether the policy should include a requirement for public art.

9.6.3 Whether the allocation at Aston Road should be increased to facilitate the provision of sports facilities.

9.6.4 Whether the reference to Aston Road should be changed to Churchway.

Inspector’s Considerations and Conclusions: 9.6.5 My previous conclusions and recommendation that policy HA.1 be deleted apply.

The following comments are made solely to afford full consideration of these objections.

9.6.6 HA.10 is an unsatisfactory statement because no one can be sure what kind of improvements will be required or where these are or should be. Because the requirement is not part of the criteria attached to a parent policy, it must be inferred that the reference is to community and leisure facilities elsewhere in the village. That would only pertain if the community benefits sought were directly related in scale and kind to the proposed development. Nothing in the policy or the

76


77

justification provides an adequate explanation about the need for better facilities or their link with the allocation.

9.6.7 I assume the Council have undertaken an appraisal of community needs and are aware what improvements are required. These should be spelt out in policy criteria, rather than veiled in some separate policy that seems to hint at the provision of social amenities unrelated to development proposals.

9.6.8 My previous remarks about public art apply. The last two objections relate to rival sites and do not need to be addressed in the context of HA.10.

Recommendation:

9.6.9 I recommend that the Plan be modified by the deletion of policy HA.10.
