APPENDIX 2
Appeal Decision
Site Visit made on 12 July 2021
by M Chalk BSc (Hons) MSc MRTPI
an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State
Decision date: 23rd August 2021
Appeal Ref: APP/V1505/W/21/3268385
Land Rear Of The Hyde, Glebe Road, Ramsden Bellhouse, Billericay, CM11
1RL
• The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
against a refusal to grant planning permission.
• The appeal is made by Mr D Webb against the decision of Basildon Borough Council.
• The application Ref 20/00502/FULL, dated 5 May 2020, was refused by notice dated
7 October 2020.
• The development proposed is described as “6 No Bespoke Chalet Bungalows”.
Decision
1. The appeal is dismissed.
Preliminary Matters
2. The Council’s Emerging Local Plan has been submitted for examination.
However, based on the evidence before me it is some distance from adoption,
and therefore its policies carry limited weight in the determination of this
appeal.
3. The Government released a revised National Planning Policy Framework in July
2021. The main parties were invited to comment on the revised document as
part of their submissions on this appeal.
Main Issues
4. The site is in the Green Belt, and therefore the main issues are:
• Whether the development proposed would constitute inappropriate
development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning
Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies,
• The effect on the openness of the Green Belt,
• The effect on the character and appearance of the area,
• Whether the development would make acceptable provision for surface
water management; and,
• Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be
clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very
special circumstances required to justify the proposal.
https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate
1Appeal Decision APP/V1505/W/21/3268385
Reasons
Whether inappropriate development
5. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) states that the
construction of new buildings in the Green Belt should be regarded as
inappropriate development, other than for certain exceptions, and should not
be approved except in very special circumstances. The appeal proposal does
not conform with any of the identified exceptions set out in the Framework.
6. The Ramsden Bellhouse area has been set a target of 39 new homes in the
emerging Local Plan. The intention is that these will be delivered on sites
identified within a Neighbourhood Plan (the NP) for the area. However, there is
no existing NP so there are no development plan policies relating to the
provision of housing in this location.
7. The appeal proposal would therefore be inappropriate development in the
Green Belt, contrary to the requirements of the Framework set out above.
Openness
8. As the appeal proposal would be inappropriate development, it is necessary to
also consider the effect it would have on the openness of the Green Belt.
9. The main part of the appeal site is a field lying to the rear of a predominantly
linear row of houses. While there are houses immediately next to the site, they
are separate from it. The site is otherwise bordered by trees and a low post
and rail fence and is an open and undeveloped piece of land.
10. The introduction of six houses on the main part of the site would result in a
substantial encroachment of built development onto this piece of land, causing
a harmful loss of both spatial and visual openness in this location. The houses
would be chalet bungalows and similar in size to the immediately neighbouring
houses, but the development would conflict with one of the main Green Belt
purposes of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment and the
fundamental aim of Green Belt policy to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land
permanently open. The extension of the access road serving the existing
houses across undeveloped greenfield land would also result in the loss of
spatial openness in this location.
11. The appeal proposal would therefore result in harm to the openness of the
Green Belt.
Character and appearance
12. The appeal site is undeveloped greenfield land beyond the existing built up
area of the settlement and contributes to its rural setting. There are houses
immediately adjacent to the site, between it and The Hyde. However, there is a
clear boundary to the rear of properties on Glebe Road, and the appeal site lies
beyond this.
13. There are houses on Orchard Avenue beyond the mature treeline to one side of
the site, but these are barely visible due to the screening effect of the trees.
The appeal site borders open countryside on the remaining two sides, with a
railway embankment some distance away having little effect on the essentially
open character of the site.
https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2
2Appeal Decision APP/V1505/W/21/3268385
14. The proposed development would result in the loss of this open character and
be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. It would therefore
conflict with Policy BAS BE12 of the Basildon Local Plan 2007, which requires
amongst other criteria that development be refused if it causes material harm
to the character of the surrounding area.
Surface water management
15. The Framework requires that flood risk is not increased elsewhere because of
proposed development. A Flood Risk Assessment has been submitted with the
appeal which confirms that the predominant geology in the area is
impermeable clay conducive to large amounts of surface water runoff. It also
states that a sustainable drainage strategy should be developed for the site for
effective management of surface water over the lifetime of the development.
16. The proposed development would result in a significant increase in hard
surfacing, and while flood relief is proposed in the form of a lake on site and a
storm drain feeding to an offsite lake it is not clear that this would be sufficient
to control surface water at the site without an increase in the risk of flooding on
neighbouring land. The appeal proposal therefore conflicts with the relevant
requirement of the Framework.
Other considerations
17. The appellant has identified considerations that they contend weigh in favour of
the appeal proposal. The development would deliver six new chalet bungalows,
supporting the Government’s objective of significantly boosting the supply of
homes and contributing to the target of 39 new homes projected to be required
in the area in the emerging Local Plan. The Council can currently demonstrate a
2.4 year supply of deliverable housing lands, a substantial shortfall on the
expected provision of five years’ supply. The proposal is wholly for self-build
housing, and the Housing and Planning Act 2016 places a duty on local
authorities to give suitable development permission in respect of enough
serviced plots of land to meet the demand for self-build and custom
housebuilding in the authority’s area arising in each base period. The
development would connect Glebe Road and Orchard Avenue, restoring a
previous connection that was lost and providing improved public access to the
countryside. The site is available for development and is accessible, and its
development would not result in disruption to residents. Development of the
site would support the village infrastructure. Cumulatively, these benefits
attract considerable weight, especially given the shortfall in housing land.
18. The appellant states that as the proposal does not involve frontage
development it would have no impact on the look and feel of Ramsden
Bellhouse. They also contend that landscaping of the site would be a benefit.
However, the development would cause harm to the character and appearance
of the area, so this does not weigh in favour of the development.
19. My attention has been drawn to the conclusions of the Council’s housing land
assessments as part of their preparation for the emerging Local Plan. The
Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment 2015 considered the site
as part of a larger area of land comprising the open fields between Glebe Road
and the railway line and found it to be suitable for development. The Serviced
Settlements Review 2017 found that development of the larger area would
extend Ramsden Bellhouse into the Green Belt in a manner inconsistent with
https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3
3Appeal Decision APP/V1505/W/21/3268385
the existing pattern of development but suggested that the western half of the
site could be developed. However, notwithstanding these findings the site was
not ultimately allocated for development in the emerging plan and remains in
the Green Belt. The findings of these assessments therefore carry limited
weight.
20. The appeal proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt that
would also cause harm to its openness, as well as to the character and
appearance of the area. In addition, the development fails to demonstrate that
the proposal would not result in an increased risk of flooding elsewhere. The
Framework states that substantial weight must be given to any harm to the
Green Belt, and the other identified harm carries further weight in addition to
this.
21. While the considerations identified by the appellant weigh in favour of the
development, in this instance they would not clearly outweigh that substantial
weight and the weight attached to the other identified harm. Consequently,
very special circumstances do not exist in this case.
Other Matters
22. The site falls within the zone of influence for the Essex Coastal Recreational
Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy. If I had been minded to allow the appeal it
would have been necessary to carry out an appropriate assessment to
determine whether the appeal proposal, either alone or together with other
development, would be likely to have a significant effect on the features of
interest of protected habitat sites. However, as the appeal is being dismissed
for other reasons, it is not necessary to consider this matter further.
Conclusion
23. There are no material considerations to indicate that this appeal should be
determined other than in accordance with the development plan.
24. Therefore, for the reasons set out above, the appeal fails.
