This application is included on the agenda at the discretion of the Service Manager Planning Development. 57

3 1. Site Description The site lies on the south side of Longmoor Road, outside, but adjacent to the Settlement Policy Boundary of Greatham. The site falls within the South Downs National Park.The land slopes down from north to south, away from Longmoor Road. The northern end of the site adjoins the gardens of houses on Longmoor Road and part of the site adjoins the garden of 35 Wolfmere Lane. The southern part of site is used as a paddock, which adjoins woodland and farmland used for the grazing of horses. Access to the site is via Wolfmere Lane. 2. Relevant Planning History PRD Temporary use of the land for 3 residential caravans. Permitted 1961PRD 3286/1 - Continued siting of a caravan. Refused 1966 Enforcement notice vehicle box body type container - land to the south of the site. Enforcement notice storage use - land to the south of the site. Enforcement notice earth bund - land to the south of the site /001 - Continued use of land as caravan site for single extended gypsy family to include two mobile homes, two touring caravans and associated caravans and associated utility room & creation of new access onto Longmoor Road. 3. Proposal The proposal is for the renewal of temporary planning permission, for 3 years, for the continued use of the land as a gypsy caravan site for a single, extended family for two residential mobile homes, two touring caravans, a shared utility room and retention of an access onto Longmoor Road. The caravans are on lower ground towards the middle of the site, the area of which is approximately 0.8 hectares. Permission is sought on behalf of Mrs Amy Shea, her son Daniel Shea (Snr), her grandson Daniel Shea (Jnr) the applicant, his partner Charlotte Murray and their children. 4. Consultations Ward Councillor - No response received. Hampshire County Highways - The application is for continued use of land for single extended gypsy family to include two mobile homes, two touring caravans and associated utility room and alteration of access onto Longmoor Road. The application states that the application is for renewal of temporary permission 51346/001 and my comments are based on this description. The plans do not show a new access being formed although the application form in section 6 states that one is to be constructed. An access was formed previously and the difficulties with visibility to the east have not yet been overcome. I understand that the neighbours and the 58

4 applicant are in dispute over the matter. Both appear to have erected fences either of which obstructs the visibility. Until the matter of adequate visibility splays has been determined I recommend that only a further temporary consent is granted. No objection subject to conditions. Conditions as per planning consent 51346/001. HCC - Gypsy Liaison Officer - I have been asked by East Hampshire District Council planning department to make enquiries to confirm the Gypsy and Traveller planning status of Mr Daniel Shea with regards to planning application Ref: SDNP/12/01822/FUL. At hours on Friday 26th October 2012 I met with Mr Daniel Shea (Snr) at Fern Farm. At this time the site was quiet and clean with no signs of trade waste and has become very well established since my original visit in June I discussed with Mr Shea at length the planning application submitted to East Hampshire District Council planning department relating to the renewal of temporary planning permission for the land in question. Mr Shea informed me that he had received a visit from the EHDC planning officer Leslie Wells two to three weeks earlier and that he had fully explained his current circumstances to her and she had taken photographs at the property. I was advised that the renewal application was in joint names for himself and his son Danny Shea and that neither of their working and travelling lifestyles had changed since the original application was submitted. I informed Mr Shea that the application form I had seen only related to him and he advised that it should be in joint names. I was informed by Mr Shea that due to personal circumstances, of which the planning officer is aware, he is currently not permitted to live at Fern Farm and has to reside at his wife's address in Bordon. There are on going formal enquiries relating to his employment and any documents and written records to prove his work and travelling for work are currently with the authorities in West Sussex. I was informed by Mr Shea that his son Danny Shea is still living on the property at Fern Farm together with his wife and his grandson is attending a local school. I ascertained that both Mr Shea and his son Danny travel for work involving building and groundwork and that the planning officer for EHDC has the contact details for the Authorities concerned to establish if there is paperwork to back up his claims. Mr Shea was unable to produce any evidence to me at the time of my visit due to the above circumstances but stated quite categorically that he and his son do travel for work. 59

5 He wishes to remain settled due to family reasons of education, access to local facilities including health and welfare and for the family to continue the lifestyle they have become accustomed to since the original planning application and the grant of temporary permission. At this moment in time his is happy to accept the continuance of temporary permission for the land in question. I am not by any means and do not profess to be an expert in planning and case law but I do have a limited knowledge of these matters and also practical expertise attained having dealt with matters and issues relating to the Gypsy and Traveller community over the last eleven years. I conclude that after consideration of all the current facts and the lack of documentary evidence to prove otherwise, I am unable to come to a balanced view to establish if Mr Shea satisfies the 'status' requirements for planning purposes with regards to his Travelling lifestyle for either himself or his son. However, if documentary evidence can be provided, I am happy to reassess and report on the situation. Gypsy Liaison Officer - 2nd Comments Since my last meeting with Mr Danny Shea I have now had the opportunity to look at a number of letters provided by Mr Shea in which there are clear indications of a nomadic habit of life and that both he and his son have historically and continue to travel for economic purpose. Mr Shea's current travelling is somewhat curtailed by his personal 'bail' conditions, a matter which has also prevented him producing further documentary evidence to prove his nomadic lifestyle and working habits. Whilst it could be argued that most people these days travel for work purposes and even reside away from home returning at weekends. Having discussed this matter with Mr Shea, I am satisfied that he currently travels and has travelled regularly with his son to maintain their nomadic lifestyle and for work including attendance at traditional horse fairs and fairs like the Dorset steam rally. During their travels they both stay in caravans which more often than not they take with them as befits their cultural and historical lifestyles and heritage. In view of the recent evidence produced I am now of a view that on balance both Mr Danny Shea and his son Daniel Shea have and continue to maintain their nomadic lifestyle which includes travelling for work purposes. There is now a need to maintain a more settled lifestyle for family and education purposes and therefore the application satisfies the 'status' requirements for planning purposes. Access Development Team - Countryside Service: Please accept this response as being that of The Highway Authority in respect of Public Rights of Way. 60

6 A claim to have an unrecorded path which runs through the application site added to the Definitive Map as a public footpath has been registered with the County Council. There is a significant number of user evidence forms accompanying the claim, and whilst we cannot say for certain, until such time as the claim is investigated fully, that a public right of way does indeed exist, we must nevertheless, in the meantime, seek to protect the line of the path. As with our response to the earlier application, 51346/001, we must request that none of the mobile homes, caravans, utility rooms or anything else associated with the proposal is allowed to obstruct the line of the path. For your information the claim reference number is County Planning - No response received. Gypsy Council - No response received. Parish Council - Following clarification from the case officer, the PC understands the application does not include an alteration to the access of the site. The PC objects to renewal of the permission on the grounds that there is no need for a gypsy site. There was no need when the original permission was granted, and there isn't a need for it at present. We request that SDNPA 'call in' this application for consideration, as it is a significant decision for the SDNP. 5. Representations 6 representations have been received: a) proposal is a highway hazard - detrimental to amenity - access onto Longmoor Road is not considered safe by Highway Authority - previous access only from Wolfmere Lane; b) vast quantities of tarmac laid across what was an unspoilt field; c) planning infringements should be dealt with - business operates from land; d) question gypsy status of applicants - applicants never lived on site - own three properties in Bordon; e) proposal has significant detrimental impact on the landscape/park - outside policy boundary; f) site within 1km of a SPA and SAC; g) fear of violence/crime - destructive impact on the village; h) outstanding right of way across site - blocked off by applicants; i) permission should be refused and land returned to field; and j) land not owned by applicant that bounds Longmoor Road. 61

7 6. Policy Context National Park Purposes 6.1 The two statutory purposes of the SDNP designation are: To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of their areas; To promote opportunities for the public understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of their areas. If there is a conflict between these two purposes, conservation takes precedence. There is also a duty to foster the economic and social well being of the local community in pursuit of these purposes. National Planning Policy Framework and Circular Government policy relating to national parks is set out in English National Parks and the Broads: UK Government Vision and Circular 2010 and The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which was issued and came into effect on 27 March The Circular and NPPF confirm that national parks have the highest status of protection and the NPPF states at paragraph 115 that great weight should be given to conserving landscape and scenic beauty in the national parks and that the conservation of wildlife and cultural heritage are important considerations and should also be given great weight in National Parks. Paragraph 116 states that planning permission for major developments within national parks should be refused except in exceptional circumstances 7. Planning Policy 7.1 Applications must be determined in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The statutory development plan in this area is the SE Plan and EHDC District Local Plan: 2nd Rev (2006). 7.2 The South East Plan was adopted by the Secretary of State on 6th May The Coalition Government s revocation of the Plan in July 2010 has been found to be unlawful so the Plan remains part of the development plan at this time but the intention to revoke could be a material consideration. The following policies are of key relevance to this application: 7.3 The EHDC District Local Plan: 2nd Rev (2006) policies of key relevance to this application are: H18 (EH) Accommodation For Gypsies GS3 (EH) Protecting The Countryside GS1 (EH) Sustainable Development HE1 (EH) Design 62

8 8 Planning Assessment Determining Issues 1. Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 & principle of the development 2. Impact on the area 3. Impact on neighbouring properties 4. Highways considerations 5. Nature conservation 6. Human rights 7. Other matters Planning Considerations 1) Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 & principle of the development The Government published its planning policy for traveller sites on 23 March This policy came into effect the day before the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and should be read in conjunction with the NPPF. The Government's overarching aim in the above planning policy documents (PPD) "...is to ensure fair and equal treatment for travellers, in a way that facilitates the traditional and nomadic way of life of travellers while respecting the interests of the settled community." To achieve this aim, local planning authorities should make their own assessment of need for such sites within their area for the purposes of planning and "...should set pitch targets for gypsies and travellers and plot targets for travelling showpeople which address the likely permanent and transit site accommodation needs of travellers in their area, working collaboratively with neighbouring local planning authorities." With regard to a traveller accommodation assessment (TAA), work on this has commenced, in partnership with other authorities in the county and the Park. However, it is at a relatively early stage and a level of need has not, as yet, been identified for the Park. It is not clear how pressing the need is or the precise level at this stage. It is, however, anticipated that the TAA is likely to identify a need for traveller sites within the Park and that this site has contributed to such a need, albeit on a temporary basis. The above national policy provides guidance on the planning aspects of sites for traveller sites. For the purposes of this planning policy "gypsies and travellers" means: "Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds only of their own or their family's or dependants' educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily or permanently, but excluding members of an organised group of travelling showpeople or circus people travelling together as such." 63

9 The gypsy status of the applicant and his family has been challenged by third parties. The Gypsy Liaison Officer (GLO) has been consulted over this applicant. The GLA initially concluded "that after consideration of all the current facts and the lack of documentary evidence to prove otherwise, I am unable to come to a balanced view to establish if Mr Shea satisfies the 'status' requirements for planning purposes with regards to his Travelling lifestyle for either himself or his son." Following the submission of documentary evidence by the applicant, which was considered by the GLA, he concluded; "In view of the recent evidence produced I am now of a view that on balance both Mr Danny Shea and his son Daniel Shea have and continue to maintain their nomadic lifestyle which includes travelling for work purposes. There is now a need to maintain a more settled lifestyle for family and education purposes and therefore the application satisfies the 'status' requirements for planning purposes." In view of the GLO's comments and on balance it is considered that the applicant and his family satisfy the definition of a gypsies, national advice set out in Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 and policy H18 applies in the consideration of the proposal. The relevant criteria in Policy H18 are: a) the Council is satisfied that there is a genuine need for such a scheme in the locality; This part of the policy is superseded by the advice in the PPTS, which states: "that they (local planning authorities) should determine applications for sites from any travellers and not just those with local connections." As stated above it has been confirmed that permission is sought for: Mrs Amy Shea, her son Daniel Shea (Snr), her grandson Daniel Shea (Jnr) his partner Charlotte Murray and their children. Representations have stated that the above named parties have not occupied the site since the grant of temporary permission in This point has been raised with the applicant. The response is that Mr Shea (Jnr) and his family occupy the land. Mr Shea (Snr) has occupied the site, but due to personal reasons is unable, at present, to live on the land. He has advised that it is his intention to live on the site again once the current situation is resolved. The observation of officers, following the grant of temporary planning permission, is that the site has been occupied by Mr Shea (Jnr) and his family. During this period, officers were advised that Mr Shea (Snr) had lived on the site. Whilst this may have been the case, this was not observed. The only person who it has been stated by the applicant has not moved onto the land is Mrs Amy Shea, who is the mother of Mr Shea (Snr). No reason has been given as to why she has not moved onto the site. That being said, the proposal is for the retention of two mobile homes, which is considered appropriate for an extended family and could accommodate Mrs Amy Shea if she moved onto the land. 64

10 Temporary permission was granted in 2009 in recognition of an unmet need for such sites for which due weight was given by the Committee. There still appears to be a need for such sites. That being said, as it is likely to be 3 years before allocations are forthcoming, it is recommended, that if the Committee is minded to permit the proposal, it is only on a temporary basis (i.e. 3 years). b) the site is situated within or close to a settlement and is within a reasonable distance of schools, medical services, shops and other facilities; Government guidance and the NPPF indicate the need for sustainable development and that traveller sites should not be in the open countryside away from existing settlements. However, the PPTS recognises that such sites may be located in rural or semi-rural settings, as does policy H18. The site is outside, but adjacent the defined Settlement Policy Boundary (SPB) for Greatham. The facilities within the village are limited to a public house, primary school, a Post Office/shop, with limited public transport and no medical facilities. Access to the site can only realistically be achieved by the use of private motor vehicles and is not readily accessible by other means of transport. There are, however, other facilities available nearby in Bordon, Liss and Liphook, which are within reasonable distance. The occupiers of the site would have the same access to facilities in the village and those provided in other settlements, as local residents. Due to its location adjacent to the SPB, it is considered that the site scores reasonably well in terms of its sustainability. c) adequate provision can be made for access, parking, turning and servicing; When temporary planning permission was granted, it was found that the site accorded with the advice in the Good Practice Guide, published in 2008 by the Government that gives advice on Designing Gypsy and Travellers sites. This is still the position and the development meets the objectives of this Design Guidance. In complying with this guidance, hard surfacing was required to facilitate the development. d) the site is capable of accommodating the number of caravans/mobile homes proposed together with any proposed equipment for business activities; The proposal was considered capable of fulfilling this requirement when temporary planning permission was granted, without adversely affecting the amenity of neighbours. There has been no material change since the grant of temporary planning permission and the continued use of the land for the proposal is considered acceptable in planning terms. If the Committee is minded to grant planning permission, any business activity can be controlled through the imposition of conditions. e) adequate provision is made for landscaping to blend the site into its surroundings and to provide privacy; 65

11 Since the grant of planning permission hedging has been planted along the boundary with Longmoor Road, together with fencing and gates. Landscaping has also been provided within the site. This has helped to screen the site from the road, albeit, the site is visible from adjacent properties. The proposal is not materially visible from longer views into the site. It is considered that the landscaping provided is sufficient and helps blend the development into the landscape. f) the site will be clearly defined by physical features; Fencing and some planting, define the site. However, as advised in national policy care should be taken by "not enclosing a site with so much hard landscaping, high walls or fences that the impression may be given that the site and its occupants are deliberately isolated from the rest of the community." g) the site is capable of being provided with essential services. It is accepted that the site is provided with essential services. 2) Impact on the area The site is within the South Downs National Park; therefore, regard must be given to conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area; and the promotion of the public understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the area, in areas with nationally recognised designations. Since the grant of planning permission, landscaping has been planted and fencing/gates erected along Longmoor Road, which has limited views from public vantage points and provides privacy for the occupants. The proposal is visible from adjacent properties. It has, however, limited impact on the surrounding countryside due to the changes in levels between the site and the road and land to the east and residential development to the west. Also long views from the south into the site are restricted by woodland. When temporary planning permission was granted, it was recognised that, in the short term, the proposal would not compromise the objectives of the National Park designation. In granting a temporary permission, it was considered that this may have provided sufficient time for the National Park Authority to carry out a full sustainability appraisal of the site, (and other sites identified via the local plan process), which would include whether the grant of a permanent permission would compromise the objectives of the National Park. A sustainability appraisal has not yet been undertaken, as an assessment of need for such accommodation has not been concluded for the Park. As a full sustainability assessment may identify a more appropriate location within the Park and that temporary 3 year planning permission only is sought, if the Committee is minded to grant the proposal, it is recommended that it is only granted on this basis. 66

12 3) Impact on neighbouring properties The development are on lower ground towards the middle of the site, with one residential caravan sited along the eastern boundary, the other to the rear of 35 Wolfmere Lane. The western and eastern boundaries are either fenced or screened with vegetation/trees, limiting the impact of the proposal on neighbouring properties. On balance, the use of the land as a gypsy site, for one extended family, should not materially affect the amenities of immediate neighbours, subject to conditions restricting the use of the land for business activities and a limit on the number of caravans on the site. A condition is also recommended that the caravan sited to the rear of 35 Wolfmere Lane is relocated within 3 months of the grant of permission to the eastern boundary as shown by "Mobile Home 1" on the block plan. Fear of violence and crime has been raised by third parties about the continued use of the land. Such matters are for the Police and therefore little weight in planning terms may be given to such representations. It is claimed that the land has been used for business purposes. Whilst officers have noted commercial vehicles on the land, some of which were used both in a business and private capacity, a commercial use has not been established. This is despite numerous site visits, particularly following the grant of planning permission. As to the parking of commercial vehicles on the land, a view was taken, that this was more acceptable then parking such vehicles on the highway (i.e. Wolfmere Lane/Longmoor Road) and, therefore, it was not expedient to take formal enforcement action over this matter. 4) Highway considerations Concerns have been raised by third parties about highway matters, including the proposed access to the site being unsafe, damage to the highway and the adverse impact on traffic along Longmoor Road. The Highway Authority has no objection to a further temporary grant of planning permission pending the resolution of the sight lines and the imposition of the same conditions. 5) Nature conservation Representations have been received that the site is within 1km of a Special Protection Area (SPA). Hampshire County Council's Ecologist and Natural England were consulted on the previous proposal. At that time, Natural England was of the view, which the County Ecologist concurred with, that the proposal alone, or in combination with other plans or projects, would not be likely to have a significant effect on the features of the SPA, SAC or SSSI. Therefore, no objection was raised on ecological grounds. 67

13 A condition was however, recommended by the County Ecologist for an ecological enhancement scheme and the removal of the fast-growing conifers as part of the landscape scheme and their replacement with native species. This has been achieved via conditions, which have been complied with. No further landscaping of the site is considered necessary 6) Human rights The human rights of the applicant and his family have to be balanced against the human rights of third parties, the protection of the environment and other planning considerations. The recommendation to grant temporary planning permission is considered to comply with advice in Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 to which due weight should be given. The proposal is also considered to be in general accordance with policies in the development plan, which has under gone the statutory process. The intended objectives of national advice and the development plan are to provide for the housing needs of different groups of people, as well as for protection of the environment and the countryside from inappropriate and damaging development. In this case, harm caused to the countryside, the environment and to third party rights have to be balanced against the individual needs of the applicant and his family and the fact that there is no alternative site provision. On balance, these factors outweigh other material considerations and the human rights of third parties. 7) Other matters The Rights of Way Officer at Hampshire County Council indicates that a member of the public has registered a claim to have an unrecorded path running through the site added to the Definitive Map as a public footpath. This is not material to the application as the claim for a right of way has not been confirmed. If such a claim is subsequently established, it is for the Highway Authority to ensure the footpath is made available for use by members of the public; not the Planning Authority. That being said, the claim right of way, it not affect by the siting of the development. A Land Registry Search of the site shows the applicant as the owner. 9 Conclusion A further temporary planning permission is not considered to undermine the objectives of the National Park for the reasons given above or be materially harmful to the amenities of neighbours of the area. There are no highway objections to a temporary permission and no nature conservation issues. The proposal is in general conformity with national advice on traveller sites and policies in the development plan. There is as yet an undefined need in the Park for traveller sites and there are no alternative sites in the area that the occupiers could move to. Therefore, a further temporary 3 year conditional planning permission is recommended as advised in national advice on the provision of travellers' sites. 68

14 10 RECOMMENDATION 10.1 It is recommended that the application be Approved for the following reason: The proposal is in general conformity with the advice in Circular 1/2006 and policies in the development plan. There is a small, unmet need in the district for gypsy/traveller sites and there are no alternative sites in the area that the occupiers could move to. Therefore, a temporary 3 year conditional planning permission is recommended, under the transitional provisions of Circular 1/2006. APPROVAL subject to the conditions set out below 01. The use hereby permitted shall be for a limited period being the period of 3 years from the date of this decision. At the end of this period the use hereby permitted shall cease, all caravans, materials, utility room, hardsurfacing vehicles and equipment brought on to the land in connection with the use shall be removed, and the land restored in accordance with a scheme previously submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Reason - A temporary permission has been granted to enable a full sustainability appraisal of the site, (and other possible traveller sites identified via the local plan process), which would include whether the grant of a permanent permission would compromise the objectives of the National Park and to ensure that the site is properly restored to its former condition at the expiry of the permission. 02. The site shall not be occupied by any persons other than gypsies and travellers as defined in Annex 1: Glossary of Planning policy for traveller sites. Reason - The site lies in a locality where permission would not normally be granted for residential development. 03. The occupation of the site hereby permitted shall be carried on only by the following and their resident dependants: Amy Shea, Daniel Shea (Snr), Daniel Shea (Jnr), Charlotte Murray. Reason - The application was granted due to the specific circumstances of the applicant and his family. 04. The residential use hereby permitted shall be restricted to the stationing of no more than four caravans, as defined in the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 and the Caravan Sites Act 1968, at any time (of which no more than two shall be a static caravan or mobile home). Reason - To control the level of residential use on the land, and in the interests of amenity. 05. Within 2 months of the grant of planning permission the caravan site to the rear of 35 Wolfmere Lane shall be relocated to the position shown as Mobile Home 1 on the block plan and thereafter retained in this position for the duration of the temporary planning permission. Reason - In the interests of the amenity of the neighbours. 69

15 06. No commercial activities shall take place on the land, including the storage of materials, without the prior written consent of the local planning authority. Reason - In the interest of the amenity of the area. 07. Provision on site for the loading, unloading and the parking of vehicles approved under planning permission reference 51346/001 shall be retained and maintained in accordance with the approved details. Reason - In the interests of highway safety. 08. Provision on site to enable vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward gear approved under planning permission reference 51346/001 shall be retained and maintained in accordance with the approved details. Reason - In the interests of highway safety 11 Informatives 1.
